At first, I tried to find a true story that I had experienced before writing the essay. Also, I wanted to make it more interesting to read. This was why I decided to combine a real story and fiction to form my own story. The real story was about a long flight from Vietnam to the United States on January 28th, 2013. In this flight, I had been nervous and worried about my future life in America. On the other hand, I was so glad to be reunited with my grandparents, my aunts and uncle after 20…

In publishing Silent Spring, Rachel Carson brought awareness to the harmful effects pesticides have on health. She shed light on the fact that we use these toxic pesticides without knowing the consequences they will have on public health. Carson says, “I contend, furthermore, that we have allowed these chemicals to be used with little or no advance investigation of their effect on soil, water, wildlife, and man himself...There is still very limited awareness of the nature of the threat." Toxic…
For this reason, nations create national symbols of patriotism, such as the bald eagle or the pledge of allegiance in the United States. National symbols of this sort give people who otherwise have nothing in common a sense of comradery, “because, regardless of the actual inequality and exploitation that may prevail in each, the nation…

A major key to keeping track of threatened and endangered species is a taxonomy. This is a record of all the different species in need.

causing accidents and start fixing them. I became a Hunter, and am currently one of the leading Hunters in England. I'm also in the middle of a move to (terrified face) America, and am deathly afraid that I'm going to get my head ripped off by a bald eagle or that I'm going to be killed by fireworks or some other dramatic, horrible, uniquely American death. Please bear with me if something like that happens.…
alligators. My favorite ride was called the “Cheetah Hunt”. Near the ride were two cheetahs in an observable habitat. There were countless other habitats, such as the tiger and elephant area. I recall they even had a pool for a hippo and an exhibit on bald eagles. We easily had our money’s worth with the animal section of the park. But what really took it to the next level was the rides. The rides had corkscrews, double loops, ridiculously fast speeds, and even a ninety degree drop. Name any…
