The Polar Express Research Paper

Decent Essays
When the Brand New Christmas time movie “the Polar express” came out on November 10, 2004, I really had an urge to go see it in theaters. It was about a week after the release date and I said to my mom “can we go see the polar express?” she said “wait until your cousins come on Friday down for thanksgiving”. So I waited for the time they came always seeing the commercial on TV, making me want to see it more and more. So when the time came for my cousins to come it felt like it had been years. My 3 cousins and grandparents came down to celebrate thanksgiving with us down here in North Carolina. So when the time came to go to the movies, everyone piled into the cars and we left. Once we got there we bought the tickets got some popcorn and drinks

    According to the International Snowmobiler Manufacturers Association, the average age of a snowmobiler is 44 years old, and there are over 3,000 snowmobile clubs worldwide involved in trail grooming and family activities (Snowmobiling).

With over 3,000 active snowmobile clubs worldwide and at least 250 in Minnesota, there is the opportunity to become involved, but the problem lies in the fact that the median age of a club member is 44 years old.

    Would there be a difference in the fitness of polar bears due to their fur length in the Artic region? The scientific name of a polar bear is Ursus maritimus, meaning that it is a “marine mammal” (National Wildlife Federation). Even though polar bears do spend time on land, they tend to spend most of their time in the sea, hence why they are considered a “marine mammal”. Their fur is “hollow and reflects light” and this allows for the bear to have white fur phenotype(Lockwood,S.). Not only does the thick white fur serve as protection of the cold, but also to help the polar bears camouflage in the cold Artic area (National Wildlife Federation).…
