Crack! The shell of an abalone breaks upon a rock after a sea otter repeatedly bangs the shell against the rock in order to retrieve the meat inside of it. Conducting an observation that validates sea otters’ use of tools would have to include the time and duration of the observation, the number of specimens to be observed, and a method of observation. The time and duration of the observation of the animal is a crucial element in the experiment. In “The Great Crow Fallacy,” the author states,…

plastic bags is a highly contentious topic. Something must be done to limit the amount of plastic bags used in many communities. My community should impose a tax upon plastic bags to not only limit the amount of plastic people use but to make money back. An outright ban of plastic bags would not be effective in stopping the use of plastic bags because plastic bags can be reused for certain things. If the ban was to be imposed people would have to buy other bags for the function the plastic bags…

Personal Essay Being homeschooled, Timmy was a large part of my life. We were together almost every day for as long as I can remember. It wasn’t just him and I though, two days before my 6th birthday, on September 30th, 2004, our family welcomed Sebastian to the world. On that day our family got bigger; one person doesn’t seem like much at first thought, but one person can change a lot. As a baby, Sebastian wasn’t the easiest to care for, he taught me patience. Timmy taught me love, his love…

restless sleep. My body is cold and stiff as I made my way down to the fire which had burned down to embers. A gentle breath of life brought small flames. Feeding a small branch readying the fire for larger, greener pieces of wood, leaving the drier seasoned wood for lighting the fire as needed. As the new pieces began to catch fire, Father's knife easily made small stakes to put out meat to cook. The fat fueled the fire, making a better camp fire to chase away the cold in my body. While…

The documentary Bag It takes an in depth look at the use of the plastic bag and how it impacts our environment. I, like most, have assumed that because an item is recyclable, it can be used indefinitely while providing some level of satisfaction that we as humans have done our due diligence in protecting the environment. This film disproves that theory and takes you on the journey from the grocery store to the belly of a sea turtle. The first plastic bag was made known in the United States as a…

and Corporeal Bodies? We differentiate three distinct types of beings here. One is the highest good in which nothing can surpass. This highest good is God; God is the only unlimited spirit with no end, no beginning and is not limited by space or time. The unlimited spirit has always been and will always be. The limited spirits are all the angels and human spirits that have a beginning, no end and the human spirits are limited by space and time while the associated corporeal body are living…

getting engaged, she goes and tells her father, the reverend. Elaine is now out of the scene, and as Mortimer was about to tell both of his aunts that he intends to marry Elaine, he finds a dead body in the window seat of the house. He originally thought his brother, Teddy, killed the person whose body he had found in the window seat, and immediately alerts his aunts of his discovery. When he told his aunts they said that they were the ones who killed that man not Teddy, and they did it…

To Live While they wait, she walks around the small living room again, lifting up the corners of the blinds and peeking out into the darkness. All the windows are closed, but she pushes down at each pane a little to be sure. She feels Timmy’s eyes on her back and she wants to scratch her neck with her torn nails. There aren’t many people around anyway. This was never a populous town, true, but now it’s practically empty. Mr. Wilson, a few houses down, left for bigger cities long ago with…

situations in which bodies and brains are switched, and then asks the question, whose well-being ought I to be concerned with. By invoking concern, Williams is able to make the reader directly interact with the thought experiments, and, as Nozick points out, tend to come the conclusion “that the people have switched bodies” (Nozick 93). Robert Nozick…

hour. Still after two weeks of fighting in France one thing that haunts me one the numerous corpses littered around the trenches. It’s the smell that stays with me; the mixture of faeces and decaying bodies seemingly blinding my nostrils from anything else. If only the French were to have moved the bodies away from the trenches before they buried them. The corpses have become a part of the trenches. It really doesn’t help the state of mind being reminded you could die and be tossed away like…
