Original Title: Descriptive Phrase The introductory paragraph consists of five complete sentences. The first sentence is the thesis statement, and it must be a compound-complex sentence. The next four sentences will cover the four Roman numerals. There should be one sentence per Roman numeral. This should be followed by the body paragraph, one paragraph per letter in the outline, for a total of eight body paragraphs. Jellyfish are spineless sea creatures that have many cells on their tentacles that allow them to inject their victims with toxins. When some unsuspecting creature comes into contact with these dangerous medusa, whether it be human or wild sea animals, they will trigger tiny

The reason they have earned this title is because each year there are over one hundred people who get stung and die. If even one of these spineless animals is in the shores of the water the authorities immediately have to close and block off all the beaches surrounding the areas for the safety of the people. There is one problem though, Sea Wasps are extremely difficult to find due to their transparent and hollow bodies. This makes it almost impossible to keep oneself safe and away from these jellyfish, because by the time the person realizes the jellyfish is there they would have already been stung. Sea Wasp shave tentacles that grow to reach a length of about ten to twelve feet long, and on each tentacle there is over five hundred thousand tiny coiled stinging cells ready to sting it’s next victim. The trigger hairs on the wasp jellyfish are extremely sensitive and even the most slightest of touches will instantly set off the jellyfish’s sting. A single sea wasp has enough venom in it’s tentacles to kill up to fifty human beings, and one sting is so painful that it will send a person into a state of mental shock. Once stung by the Sea Wasp jellyfish a person will have at most only a few minutes to live before their heart completely stops beating (Dennis-Bryan

    Beady eyes, long bodies, and pinchy fingers are some attributes that make humans unapproachable. Unfortunately, they have also managed to selfishly devour a majority of the living species they come in contact with, including lobsters. David Foster Wallace wrote an essay titled, “Consider the Lobster,” to inform the public about the issues that has been happening between the lobster consumers, lobster defenders, and their feelings towards boiling alive the aquatic crustacean. Wallace is obviously against boiling lobsters alive for consumption, but in his essay he has managed to make it seem as if he is on both sides of the argument. The reason Wallace never seemed to pick a side in his essay is because he wants to give the reader a chance to…

    David Wallace’s article of “Consider the Lobster” is a very unique article and went above and beyond to grab the reader’s attention on a sensitive subject; the senses and feels of an animal that later becomes our food. The idea of putting yourself in the bodies of an animal that us humans later consume, is both a disturbing and difficult task. Wallace, an American novelist and professor, was assigned to cover the “Maine Lobster Festival” held in late July in the state’s mid-coast region, or western side of Penobscot Bay. The Maine lobster festival of for short “MLF” draws huge crowds from all over, around 80,000 people attend every year. Wallace who was an “assigned correspondent” at the MLF, wrote about his experience and what he saw.…

    There are also other results in addition to the jellyfish’s light scaring predators away. “These flashing lights might attract an even bigger predator that could then eat the fish that was about to eat the jellyfish” (Jonssen). Jellyfish are different from other animals in the sea, because “[they] are carnivorous, feeding mostly on a variety of zooplankton, comb jellies, and occasionally other jellyfish; larger species, however, are capable of capturing and devouring large crustaceans and other marine organisms” (Deep-Sea). If deep-sea jellyfish did not have these qualities, they would not be able to…
