Every aspect of the film is imbued, created and viewed through the lens of the black female spectator as filmmaker. Nana is arguably the center of the film – she’s an old wise woman and the leader of the Peazant family. She is regarded as the seat of knowledge in the family – which is already a subversion of mainstream cinema that usually gives that type of knowledge to old white men. Nana Peazant’s knowledge is ancestral and cultural, yet gives her the wisdom of any great scholar - the African…

the dominant plant species were conifer trees, deciduous trees, and herbaceous. The riparian zone was very abundant, there was a lot of moss, long grass, and shrubs. Now for animal life in the water, we saw many animals including fish, water bugs, crayfish, turtles, and even a leach. For animal life around the water we saw salamanders, finches, crows, squirrels, chipmunks, and we saw signs of beaver life. As for the land uses around the stream, the area was untouched, and there was no upstream…

The Effect of the Amount of Light on Sowbugs After Being Shone on Them for 30 Seconds Another name for Sowbugs is Porcellio Laevis and these creatures are land living crustaceans, mostly aquatic invertebrates, such as the lobster, crab, and crayfish. They are found in most parts of the world, but are most common throughout North America. Since sowbugs are crustaceans, they breathe through gills. Gills are the primary breathing way for all crustaceans and they must be kept moist (4). In addition,…

the marathon of the ocean” (Palumbi 158). Without speed and distance certain marine species’ would not be able to catch their prey nor escape their predators. A few animals that are equipped with speed and endurance are the Sail fish, Flying fish, Crayfish, Squids, Dolphins, and Humpback whales. Speed and endurance have always been an important aspect both being associated with being better and stronger. Take horse racing for example, nobody bets on a horse that they assume is slow. The…

lobsters. First, he talks about the name “lobster”. It comes from the Old English called loppestre. And he says loppe means spider. Why did people from the past named lobster “spidery creature”? Lobsters, crabs, shrimp, barnacles, and freshwater crayfish are classified as crustacean, meaning aquatic arthropod. Thinking about other types of arthropod, there are spiders, centipdes/millipedes, insects, and etc. Although they all have different scientific names, they are all called “bugs”. Here…

Wednesday Journal: Today, we spent our time at the Audubon Center of the Northwoods in Sandstone, Minnesota. The weather was sunny with splashes of clouds and it felt especially humid. The first part of the day was spent contrasting the prairies we observed yesterday at Sherburne Wildlife Refuge with the newly restored prairie at Audubon. Historically, the new prairie was an old agricultural field; the team removed the old plants, sprayed to remove the plants, burned off the older vegetation…

how big Venezuela is, food there varies from region to region. The cuisine is believed to be influenced by Europeans, like Italians, Spanish, and French, as well as areas of Africa. In the coastal region of Venezuela, many dishes include fish, crayfish, shellfish, fish soups and stews. Some special fish include pargo and dorado. Certain dishes can include coconut. In the Andean region, almost all of the food is made of wheat. In rural markets, one can find cured meats and sausage. Trout from…

ventilation is provided by specialized appendages that create the respiratory current. As in cephalopod mollusks, oxygen utilization is relatively high—up to 70 percent of the oxygen is extracted from the water passing over the gills in the European crayfish Astacus. A decrease in the partial pressure of oxygen in the water elicits a marked increase in ventilation (the volume of water passing over the gills); at the same time, the rate of oxygen utilization declines somewhat. Although more…

Aquatic macrophytes functions in several ways in the aquatic environment, they are critical to Niger Delta inland waters because they enhance the physical structure of the habitat which provides living space for small animals and play an important role in fisheries production. Macrophytes play a vital role in the aquatic environment and the lives of rural communities but unfortunately very little effort is being directed towards the conservation of these resources and these macrophytes can get…
