Manchineel tree

Hidden under the mass of the dark green foliage was the opening to a small sandy path, scuffed by the shoes and sandals that have pounded over it for the past few years. Teenagers of all ages would gather along the weathered path, adventuring through the undergrowth by passing through the woody terrain. The serenade of birds, along with the crackling of dried leaves and broken branches, was drowned out by the excited clamor of teenagers passing by. Although the well worn path was covered by huge

One early morning it was bright and sunny, i am lost i must have slept walked a little too far last night. By the way I am Isabelle the goat and i’m the runt of my herd which involves 5 of us there is 3 girls and 2 boy’s that is including me. I try finding my way back to my home, i have no clue which way to go so i’m just going to start walking in one direction to see if i can find someone for help. About 8 miles later I see this massive thing, i have never seen anything like it before. The person

I sit on my log, lurking in the leaves. I'm starving, but I must be patient. I will never get food unless I lie perfectly still in the jungle undergrowth. All I hear are the endless drones of the insects and the loud chirps and squawks of the jungle birds. All are simply local pests, not large enough to satisfy my hunger. From afar I hear a strange, new noise, similar to the incessant ruckus of the birds, but lower. I concentrate on the noise. Could this be my lunch? The sound comes closer and closer

Poetry can be used as a medium to convey many different topics using different techniques such as alliteration and metaphors. These pair of poems share very different topics but both poems contain similar language features like repetition. “Ten Tall Oak Trees”, written by Richard Edwards in 1993, uses repetition in each verse to represent different activities carried out by humans that can negatively impact trees. In comparison, Oodgeroo Noonuccal, poet of “We are Going” written in 1964, conveys

colored rocks glisten in the warm spring sun. Its narrow, extremely narrow, only about a 30 yard wide fairway, and even more narrow opening to the fairway from the tips. The hazard to the right is once again dense and misleading for behind the majestic tree line there immediately lies a treacherous creek like the sirens Odysseus encounters in Odyssey on his way home for they were beautiful yet scary because they knew it lured sailors to their death. Now everything accounted for, the plan was now set to

Only the mango tree that soared and sprawled over the native scrub seemed out of place in the otherwise familiar scene. A bush clearing, a tent, a campfire, and an old bushie — an artist might title a painting The Romance of the Aussie Bush. In fact, an observer would soon sketch a likeness, though not with artistic intent and the drawing later lost amid the chaos of a murder investigation. On Monday, 4th September 1905, an assailant raised a knife in the air and plunged it deep into Peter Lumberg's

Initially, this presentation was aimed to clarify how the hierarchy is displayed in a southern Coast Salish Late Period plank house and Dionisio Point Provincial Park. She used Wood Charcoal Analysis to identify wood remains in the archaeological assemblage. According to the speaker, identification of a wood sample could communicate some information about ecology, environment, human behavior, tool production, and fire. She distinguished two types of wood, including hardwood (angiosperm) and softwood

Do you hear the rustling of the leaves? What about the jostling of the branches as they sway with the wind? Often normal occurrences on a November day, these noises were the herald of a terror unseen since the days of disco. With the body of a human but the run of a lion this creature could rip humans limb from limb. It could withstand multiple buckshot rounds, and a .22 would just piss it off. The Rake could ensnare the mind of any man. When it whispers into your mind, try to resist, even though

presents¨ - Jesse Jackson. In the story ¨ The Giving Tree ¨ by Shel Silverstein, it shows the relationship between a boy and a tree. The tree relates to a parent figure towards the boy, and the boy relates to a child. It also showcases the difference between selflessness and selfishness. The first example of selfishness and selflessness is when the boy kept demanding for items from the tree, and the tree simply giving to the boy. The tree and the boy´s relationship are similar to a child

Oaks are among the most genetically polymorphic forest species , hence their high adaptivecapacity 19 . These species are a carrier species and an engineer . They contain a significant biodiversity ( epiphytes , birds, insects, parasites and other symbiotes) and provide a low-acid, low-mineral soft humus that produces brown, neutral or even slightly alkaline brown soils 20 . Botanists distinguish two major categories of oaks 21 : oak deciduous whose leaves fall in autumn, sometimes spring ( red
