What is a watershed? A watershed is the area of land where all of the water that is under it or drains off of it goes into the same place. You think every creek is the same but in reality they’re not. In this essay we are comparing San Mateo and San Juan creek. San Mateo creek is the last pristine creek in southern California flows from from its origin to the ocean over mostly undeveloped land. The runoff is about 22 miles (35 km) long, flowing in a generally southwesterly direction. This creek

Eutrophication is a harmful process that occurs when an excess amount of nutrients enter into a water system. These nutrients, such as nitrates and phosphates, enable plants to grow and are only beneficial to an ecosystem in small amounts. When an excessive amount of nutrients enter a water system, an explosive growth of algae is stimulated, creating an extremely low oxygenated environment where fish and other organisms are unable to survive (Rhyther et al. 1771). These excessive nutrients are

communities, have obsessively used the Ocean to toss their waste without consequences. The formation of dead zones has been intensified by the increase runoff of fertilizers and the burning of fossil fuels. Enhanced primary production causes algae to bloom at a constant rate creating a layer near the surface. This layer acts as a roof to vegetation below resulting in a lack of oxygen which organisms use to live. According to Robert Diaz and Rutger Rosenberg, “Dead zones have now been reported from more

individual, one can say that Renaissance was the first stitch to the existentialist thinking. Therefore, this thesis plucks out a character from the most renowned writer of the sixteenth century i.e. William Shakespeare for its first specimen. Harold Bloom (2003) claims that “Internalization of self is one of Shakespeare’s greatest inventions” Shakespeare is said to have an insight on the human mind that was beyond his time, his work is said to be of all ages because of which it becomes a compulsion

and Susan Gubar, in their essay, “Infection In The Sentence: The Woman Writer and The Anxiety of Authorship” use Harold Bloom’s theory of “anxiety of influence" to suggest that the woman writer experiences an “”anxiety of authorship’” (page). Harold Bloom first coined

Independent Study and Research Why Environmental Non-profits in North Carolina Should Receive More Government Funding Have you ever stopped to consider what a privilege it is to have a clean environment that we depend on for many of our aspects of life, such as sports, food, and the remainder of what we need to survive and thrive? Unless from off-earth, which would be things that we get from space matter (which is a miniscule amount), everything we have is thanks to our earthly resources. However

Disputing the Canon I was in the best of settings when I realized that Shakespeare was indeed great. My freshman year in high school, I had English class with an esteemed teacher, Mr. Broza—hailed as the Paul D. Schreiber High School Shakespeare aficionado, founder of Schreiber’s Annual Shakespeare Day, and, perhaps most heart-warming of all, a self-proclaimed Shakespeare lover whose posters of The Bard could be found as wallpaper in his small office. How lucky I thought I was. Indeed, if I wanted

his sister and hopes that he 'can blow [her] candles out' (Williams 137). Ironically, though the rainbows seemed to be positive signs, they all end in disappointment.               Irony is shown mostly through the voice of the narrator. As Bloom suggests, Tom 'maintains distance between himself and the

The Illusion of Escape in The Glass Menagerie     In The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams, the characters exhibit a state of delusion that originates from their dissatisfaction with their lives. Tom seeks adventure in the movies. Amanda reminisces often about her days as a Southern Belle. Laura sits in a dream world with her glass collection, and Jim basks in the praises of his high school glory. In their respective ways, they demonstrate their restlessness.

Critical Views of The Awakening       The Awakening, written by Kate Chopin, is full of ideas and understanding about human nature. In Chopin's time, writing a story with such great attention to sensual details in both men and women caused skepticism among readers and critics. However, many critics have different views with deeper thought given to The Awakening. Symbolism, the interpretation of Edna's suicide, and awakenings play important roles in the analysis of all critics.   Symbolism
