The View of The Dodo Picture yourself running through the woods as quickly as your legs can move you, with a heap of emotions running through your brain. You feel betrayed, offended, helpless, terrified. You have never been an aggressive animal. You are friendly, you don’t eat animals, and it’s not like you have the abilities to overpower anything if you do eat them. This may aid your imagination of what the dodo bird went through while being hunted down by the Portuguese. The dodo bird may seem like

discovery by Europeans, the Dodo bird vanished completely from existence. Unsurprisingly, this bird has gained the image of a creature that was poorly adapted. The bulk of the arguments used to support this widespread belief are that Dodos were flightless and fearless as well as supposedly being fat, stupid, clumsy, and slow. Although these features are seen as disadvantages, they were actually evolutionary adaptations or are myths. Ultimately, we can not say the Dodo bird was as poorly adapted as

Extinct Species: Dodo Bird Joseph Sulaiman Pd.2 The dodo (Raphus cucullatus) was a flightless bird endemic to the Indian Ocean island of Mauritius. Related to pigeons and doves, it stood about a meter (3.3 feet) tall, weighing about 20 kilograms (44 lb), living on fruit, and nesting on the ground. The dodo has been extinct since the mid-to-late 17th century. It is commonly used as the archetype of an extinct species because its extinction occurred during recorded human history and was directly attributable

For my research project, I did it on the archaeopteryx and the dodo bird. The archaeopteryx, also known as the "ancient wing". It comes from the 2 Greek words archaīos, meaning "ancient," and ptéryx, meaning "wing." The Dodo bird or the "flightless bird" is another example of an extinct species that is included in this paper. The archaeopteryx, once thought of as the "First Bird" or "Urvogel" was a avian/reptile. The Archaeopteryx was believed to live about 150 million years ago, towards the end

Lewis Carroll's Alice In Wonderland “So she sat on, with closed eyes, and half believed herself in Wonderland, though she knew she had but to open them again, and all would change to dull reality . . .” (Carroll 119). Wonderland: a place where everything is different and the imagination is free to roam wild. A place where it does not matter how big a person is, but the intellect that is in a person. Existing in the dreams of children everywhere, wonderland is a place of escape, causing a person

Unbeknown to many, Alice in Wonderland borrows a lot from the reality of its author. As a matter of fact, Alice in Wonderland has as much to do with its author as it has to do with creativity. Lewis Carroll’s beliefs are written all over the story as one navigates through the alternate reality he presents in the novel.

Many people think that the ostrich is just an awkward looking bird, but really it is one of the most unique. It has traits that are unlike any other birds, and it also has very saddening consequences of these very rare characteristics. The ostrich is not as popular as it used to be; nowadays its popularity is based on the ostrich as a whole, and not just on

personality traits, such as the dodo bird having a desire to always be right and show off its knowledge, the hatter having a childish and nonsensical personality and the Cheshire cat acts in a way similar to her logical side. Also Alice does have some similar malevolent tendencies as the queen, but she is very different from Alice as she is mean and ruthless yet Alice is kind. One of the most similar characters to Alice, in the manner they hold themselves and speak, is the dodo bird found
