Who is blamed when a dog attacks a person? Sometimes it’s the dog, but sometimes it’s the owner. In Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein, a monster is created and is then left to his own devices as he hasn’t been trained on how to act properly. The monster is forced to wander the globe in search of someone who will accept how ugly he is rather than run away from him. Due to the lack of attention Victor gives to the monster, Victor should not be pitied; but instead, the monster should receive the most…

Tribal communities, in the Amazon Basin, are rooted in tradition. These traditions may seem very foreign to Western cultures, but these tribal societies are now changing rapidly to defend the place they call home through use of technology and languages familiar to our culture. The advancement attempts made the the communities may not be enough; specific communities have been forced to take aggressive measures. The Amazon Basin and its forests are said to be in danger from ventures such as…

When I was ten years old, my mother and I went on a month long trip to Quito, Ecuador to visit my father and other family. One day my abuelo (my grandfather) told my mom and I that he was going to take us on a trip to the edge of the Amazon rainforest. Although this probably sounds really interesting, I was against this trip from the first mention of it. However, since I was ten, my objection meant nothing and the trip happened as planned. We got up very early the day of the trip, a factor…

A jungle is typically thought of as a forest with luscious green trees and vibrant arrays of colors. While there are varying definitions that stem from the word “jungle”, they all have a similar underlying meaning of a setting with perplexities or dangers. Embodying this definition is the live-action movie The Jungle Book, which depicts “jungle” in both the literal and figurative sense. This movie takes place deep in the dense jungles of India and narrates a story of Mowgli’s struggle to survive…

Aaron Cooke Mrs.Gallos English 3 21 November 2017 Deforestation The definition of deforestation means the cutting down of trees. Several business rely on deforestation for money to pay for themselves. All things on earth rely on trees because without trees we would not have paper, we would have difficulty breathing because they purify the air and keep the air clean, there would be no homes for animals, and the soil would not hold together as well so flooding would be more prevalent during…

Tropical rainforests are important as they are home to more than 2 million species, which represents over half of the world’s species of plants, animals, insects and a great variety of fungi. This also contributes to the huge biodiversity of the rainforests. The continuous canopy of the trees is a habitat for some species of plants to grow and animals can live in. Tropical rainforests are also home to indigenous people, who depend on the rainforests for their resources for survival. According…

The Amazon River has a mean discharge of 170,000 m3s−1 with a minimum and a maximum of 60,000 m3s−1 and 270,000 m3s−1 (Gallo & Vinzon, 2005). The Amazon River runs through more than 6,700 km. It contributes 17% of the freshwater inputs to the global ocean (Callède et al., 2010; Richey et al., 1986). Located between latitudes 5°N and 20°S and between longitudes 50°W and 80°W, the Amazon basin covers 4/10 of South America and 5% of the worldwide…

The Domain documents the remains of the now-barren land of the Amazon Rainforest, left as the result of the Peruvian gold rush. Ashlar Quarries depicts the city of Arequipa, also known as the White City. The city was given the nickname for its chiseled architecture for the extraction of sillar stone. Although both collections…

Biodiversity is Threatened The animals that live in the rainforests and forests are dependant on the many different species that live there. They are also dependant on the trees and plants that grow in their areas. When deforestation happens, it tears away the plants and trees, which in turn, chases away or kills the animals living there. As the habitat is ripped away, the original species living there struggle to live while other species could move in and take over the rest of the land, killing…

The Amazonians should have control over the whole Amazon Rainforest because the Native’s were there before everyone else and they do more help than harm. The Amazonians should be able to control the land because people in the Amazon that aren’t Amazonian clear the land and making highways. The Amazonians should be able to control the land because the more trees being cut down the Native Amazonians are losing their land and the trees. The Amazonians should be able to control the land because The…
