In this chapter, Coyne’s argument for evolution is premised on evidence from biogeography. This argument is based on the fact that the same species of organisms often have certain attributes that can be linked directly to their geographical locations. Coyne cites several examples to support this position including the migration of birds like the finch, marsupials and the endemic species of organisms which are only found in oceanic islands, for example the Juan Fernández islands and others (Coyne…

I read the book Bully for You, Teddy Roosevelt!. The author of this book is named Jean Fritz and it has Illustrations by Mike Wimmer. The book has seven chapters in it and 127 pages.

In 1970 the arboretum committee decided to develop the arboretum, in efforts to save the local citrus trees. Before the arboretum started construction, it won the Disneyland Community Service Award, because of its efforts in saving the local environment. The Redevelopment Agency of the City of Fullerton, also agreed to fund…

Since the North American continent was discovered, there have been several enormous waves of immigration into the continent. Many people go there to pursue the freedom they have always craved.

But coming to new land wasn’t easy for…

28. Turn a passage into a poem. Be sure to cite the passage first. (Poetic responses may be somewhat shorter than the required 200-400 words, perhaps only 100 words.) Then briefly describe the artistic and emotional differences in the two formats (your other 100 words). The passage I’m using appears on pages 134-136 of A Place to Stand by Jimmy Santiago Baca. I chose it because he paints a vivid picture of what his childhood home and his grandfather were like, and because it’s a nostalgic,…
