With only three males remaining in the wild and 22 others left in captivity, an aggressive approach was necessary to save these majestic birds. Standing at nearly 5 feet tall, weighing up to 31 lbs and with a wingspan of up to 10 feet, the California condor (Gymnogyps californianus) is one of the largest flying birds in Northern America.

Beginning to end, Kazuo Ishiguro’s speculative novel Never Let Me Go leaves readers wanting more—more closure, more answers, more facts. Throughout the entire novel, readers are left in the dark with few explicit details of the society or its origins. The shadowy, obscure Madame Marie-Claude is a paradigm for the motif of mystery and uncertainty throughout Never Let Me Go.

the outside world; I have tried only to have connection with my inside world. I often wonder how many are dead now. When I left it was around 100,000.

dystopia. In this world, all foods are salt, it rains acid, and men can give birth. Throughout this desecrated world, the characters search for a way to keep on living. The actors portray these characters with honest intentions and clear acting choices, which allowed me to believe and empathize with their characters.

hard to believe that it even happened. The world that Lewis depicts is one that creates the illusion of the more cut-throat you are the richer you will be; this was the lifestyle of many people during this era. Money Culture is a perfect example of what greed can do to people and although many people didn’t realize it there was a bubble forming especially in the housing market. Lewis is a very witty writer and this is especially
