H W Bates discovered that the unpalatable Brazilian butterflies color patterns were copied by the palatable Pierid butterflies, which are completely two unrelated species. He, through extensive studies, realized this intriguing transformation into warning colors from the usual Pierid’s white and yellow that fact was typical elsewhere around the world…being worn like ‘sheep in wolves clothing’. The mimics were protecting theirselves by resembling the distasteful species. Bates found countless more

I know, I know, everybody writes about a love story. However, this one wasn’t a love story from the beginning. We all seem to be in search of that “special someone”, or so they call it. In my experience, it never works through seeking a person out. Ask any married couple that has been together for a while if they found each other by searching for their “type”. It usually doesn’t work that way, love is usually accidental. I, being a prime example of how it starts, will share my story with you. Every

“Contemplations” by Anne Bradstreet is a poem of thirty-three seven-line stanzas. It has an ABAB CCC rhyme scheme. This complex poem exists as a justification of writing as a unity with God that ends with the questioning of humanity’s placement in the hierarchy of the universe.

Evidence was not shown until the 20th century of prosimians evolving before the monkey. A stepsirhine that is still alive and studied today are lemurs. Lemurs are the oldest ancestors

This summer I lived in Oaxaca, Mexico, an unbelievably beautiful and cultured town, for six weeks. There were so many different types of people. There were so many different types of everything, actually. The customs were very abnormal to me. The stores greatly varied from each other and the ones here. The styles in Oaxaca and the styles in The States are about as different as night and day. It was all, well, foreign to me. Out of everything new to me there, the food was the most outlandish

When asked how he caught them, he replied with: “I got them in shallow, open water where there weren't any bushes.” Paul suggests he is wise on the subject of fishing when he says, “big Browns often feed along the edges of a bank in a meadow where grasshoppers and even mice fall in.” Secondly, on page 92-93, Paul explains to Norman why he used one of George’s “No. 2 Yellow Hackles with a feather wing,” to catch a plentiful amount of fish in a shadowy hole. “What’s more obvious on earth than sunshine

Kennedy Ernest Hemingway’s writing reflects the historical landscape and artistic movements of his time. As the world changed, the flourishing age of Victorian writing transformed into the era of Modernism. One can see this noticeable change through the structure of Hemingway’s signature writing style, as well as his focus on the great internal and external struggles

fairies' midwife, and she comes in shape no bigger than an agate stone on the forefinger of an alderman, drawn with a team of little atomi over men’s noses as they lie asleep. Her wagon spokes made of long spinners' legs, the cover of the wings of grasshoppers, her traces of the smallest spider’s web, her collars of the moonshine’s watery beams, her whip of cricket’s bone, the lash
