the state of Florida. The Gopher Tortoise plays a very big role as a native species in the south-east of the United States, from southern South Carolina to southeastern Louisiana (Auffenberg and Franz, 1982). More than 300 species benefit from the burrows the Gopher Tortoise digs, providing them with shelter. According to a study by Auffenberg and Franz (1982), Kushlan and Mazzotti (1984) and Diemer (1986), they prefer an open-canopied and spacious understory. The typical habitat of a Gopher…

its name from Arizona’s Gila River basin, where it was first discovered. They can be found mainly in deserts located in southwestern United States, and northwest Mexico. They are found in areas of gravelly and sandy soil, mostly under rocks or in burrows. They spend 90-95% of their life hidden, only emerging to eat or bask in the desert sun. Gila monsters are lethargic creatures that feed mostly on eggs that are found from raided nests or on newborn mammals. They have the ability to store fat in…

The Batek obtained food in many different ways, their main source of hunting being blowpipe hunting. However they also collect food from a hunting aspect by smoking animals out of holes, digging out burrows, clubbing/spearing, and chopping down trees as a way to get to nesting game. Blowpiping was used to hunt animals living in trees like monkeys, gibbons, squirrels, birds, civets, and bearcats(72). Although blowpipe hunting was done by both men and women, the men were the main ones hunting the…

What stage-managing is, it's essentially an assistant director with a lot of other jobs added onto it. Those jobs include calling cues for the show, making rehearsal reports, taking all the notes you could possibly imagine for a show and working with not one but 4 other directors. . There were many challenges that faced me…

From the novel, “All Quiet on the Western Front”, many images linger in my mind. The war had many gruesome details that the men on the front have to deal with every day. One image that particularly haunts me is when Paul is stuck with the enemy soldier he killed. He spends this time with him, talking to a dead man as though he was still alive. After Paul stabs the soldier, he immediately regrets it and pleas for forgiveness. This is extremely disturbing and creates the feeling of pity and sorrow…

Within the poetry I have studied throughout the year, I have found that most poems show feelings of distress, however, acceptance is also present. Bruce Dawe and Kenneth Slessor successfully portray the distress of war in their poems, whereas Sylvia Plath and Wilfred Owen show this feeling through different examples of suffering. Rudyard Kipling and Maya Angelou are two poets who I believed showed their readers how to accept things in life, whether you can influence them or not. These different…

: The latter theory, referred to as Survival Theory, postulate that sleep is a more of an evolutionary necessity, as well as being restorative in nature, allowing us to survive the various threats that may potentially face us on a day to day basis. For example, one of these aforementioned concepts, the aptly titled Evolutionary Theory, posed by Meddis (1975), states that sleep is a function primarily devoted to aiding a species in ensuring their continued survival. Sleep aids these varying…
