Unit 5 Essay When I was about seven years old, a kid had stolen a toy that I really wanted. This act made me want to get revenge against the kid who had stolen my toy.

to them challenging their stubborn beliefs and discovering the existence of alternate pathways to escaping misery. Frost metaphorically states the dissatisfaction within the relationship, “Three foggy mornings and one raining day will rot the best birch fence a man can build”.

Through the use of the term “man”, we understand the blame being…

The Temperate Deciduous Forest The temperate deciduous forest is located in Canada, Japan, China, Japan, parts of Russia, and the eastern half of United States.

These moths blended in well with birch trees they rested on before the English Industrial Revolution. When the Revolution came about, air pollution caused birch trees to go dark, causing light colored moths to stick out like sore thumbs. What happened from this was that the minority group of peppered moths, who were dark in color, ended up…
