Kristin Lewis wrote “The Seabird Chronicle” which is about saving the penguins that were in the oil spill and then making sure that…

This essay is going to be about two articles called “The Amazing Penguin Rescue” (Lauren Tarshis) and “Saving Penguins, One Sweater At A Time” (Kristin Lewis). Did you know that little penguins are a species of penguin, so named because they can range anywhere from 10 to 12 inches tall (Kristin Lewis). When oil gets on penguins their feathers clump up, when this happens it exposes their skin and allows all the cold water and poisonous oil to get to their skin and make them cold (Lauren Tarshis…

The Dragon Amulet “This is unfair, unjust!” Michelle went on like this every day, although her rant was particularly long today. Michelle’s sister, Opal stared out the window as the fall leaves drifted across the small city. “Shh,” said Opal, “I’m reading about the Dragon Amulet. It’s a magical amulet.

Newts are semi-aquatic amphibians with tails (Brockes 2005) that are of the family Salamandridea. All newts are salamanders, but not all salamanders are newts. I will be observing specifically California Newts (Taricha torosa) and Rough-Skinned Newts (Taricha granulosa), which are both commonly found in the Northern California Area. Each can also be found in the UC Botanical Garden’s Japanese Pool, which is where I will be observing them. The two species are very close genetically and are able…

change is a beautiful aspect of life. Similarly, when the speaker mentions birds we think about their process of migration. Every year they change their location to survive. They all work together to lead, follow, and support each other in their long journey across the world. It is an amazing process of change, and it is a natural instinct so that they can survive. Their change is for the better and it is what makes birds distinct from other animals. Both of these natural processes of change are…

Goose's face made her stomach lurch. She tried to loosen the grip on her arm and kicked at the brutes shins. He barely budged. Eva gave the big gorilla a head butt. The henchman stood still. Dominique forced her to her knees on the cement sidewalk and jerked her arms back further. Removed a pair of handcuffs and placed them roughly on her wrist. “That a boy,” chuckled Goose. “What the hell, Dominique. Why are you cuffing me? He looked like a big gorilla wearing a man suit. “Cause you might…
