It’s never easy to lose someone close to you. Great grief is what usually manifests itself in a person after they have lost someone they really cared about and this grief can last for many years depending on how close the person was to you.

Wolf, to the question ‘Where does the meat you eat come from?’ shows the ignorance of the general population to the issue of factory farming. Factory farming is the practice of mass producing animals for human consumption and profit. My personal journey against factory farming started when I was three- the age that both my…

Owls, hawks, and eagles are types of raptors, animals which have hooked beaks and sharp claws, and are therefore adapted for seizing prey animals. Hawks and eagles differ from owls in that they eat their prey animals by tearing them into small pieces, picking out the flesh and avoiding most of the bone material which they might eat. The relatively small amount of indigestible bone and fur that remain will be compacted by their stomach muscles into a pellet similar to the owl’s. Do you think an…

If one says no to the other, let his wing beak” (Ch. 3.p.19). The proverb as mentioned by Nwakibie shows the appreciating he has Okonkwo for his visit and assuring that men need to accommodate one another (Alimi, 2012). Before Nwakibie lends Okonkwo the yams he requested, he lets him know, “Eneke…

Creationism and Evolution one is allowed to be taught in our school the other is banned in all facets of its matter. Evolution is a science subject that teaches our kids a species can develop from a single cell organism.

We don 't teach about God or creationism in public schools because we lack physical evidence of his existence and we don…

Million years ago, we were the apes living among the jungle of Africa, so how did we get from that to modern human like today? What happened? What set us on the path of humanity? The questions are vast but there are several answers now. First of all, when we talk about human evolution, we have to know about Charles Robert Darwin, who is one of the most well-known…
