Research Paper On Blue Turaco

Decent Essays
Description: The great blue turaco is a blue bird that has yellow, blue, and black feathers. On its head it has black feathers that make it look like they have a mohawk. This bird can fly and lives for about 30 years. A male turaco is about M: 855-950 g – F: 820-1230 g and they grow to be about 70 centimeters long. They are also asymmetrical, because if you were to slice them down the middle they wouldn’t look the same, because they aren’t perfect like us.

It may look like this bird is flying, but it’s not. These birds can’t fly. They glide from tree to tree. They climb trees and glide to the next. They are one of the few that can’t.
Next time you go to the rain forest look for these
Birds.

    Marlén Mendoza Quinceañera I can still remember the limo, the photo shoots, the cake and that magnificent ice sculpture at the center of my dessert table. That day the venue was filled with over three hundred attendees from family to friends to even strangers but none of it mattered because on June 6, 2008, I became a Quinceañera. To many of my non-Latino friends this description of my party might sound like a wedding but it is not, on the contrary it is a rite of passage. Although now more extravagant it still holds true to its roots, practices like the coronation, toast, changing of the shoes, and white attire are all symbols vital to the demonstration of coming of age for a Latina turning fifteen. Quinceañera literally translates…

    In traditional Mexican culture, young girls turning fifteen are expected to have a quinceanera, showing their transition into womanhood and thus their ability to date. Yet a quinceanera is not solely about aging, it also revolves around the church, as many of the gifts given to the woman are holy symbols or symbolize her commitment to God. My families division stemmed from more than just culture, but the faith - or lack thereof - of my parents. Since my father is religious and my mother is not, this is another way in which I have trouble identifying or choosing a side.…

    5 Conclusion Comparing the Quinceañera and the Sweet 16 celebration, it turns out that they have many points in common but differ as well. Starting with the similarities, both developed through anterior coming of age ceremonies, and are only celebrated by girls. They both are rite of passage ceremonies, which honor the completed childhood of the girl and celebrate the beginning of the new life chapter as a woman. The girls make new experiences and have to face more responsibilities by turning 15, or in the case of America turning 16. The celebrations share several customs which are a symbol of transitioning to a woman.…
