I strongly believe that wildlife crossings for turtles and tortoises should be built more frequently on main roads. The reasons I believe this are that it is not only dangerous to the animals to not have these wildlife crossings but the driver as well, I will discuss these in more depth in this passage. One reason to have wildlife crossings is that is can be dangerous to the animals if you don’t have them. If you don’t put the tunnels or bridge then the animals have no way across the road…

In Mary Oliver’s “Crossing the Swamp”, the reader follows an unnamed narrator as he traverses a dangerous swamp. The narrator remarks that the swamp is endless with infinitely long branching vines. While the narrator crosses the swamp, he constantly searches for footholds while being painted with mud and grass.

I think that it is ironic that railroad crossings are such a problem because it’s not an…

That took way longer than needed, and we did have a little scare when Carol went underwater to “hide from us” and she didn't com back up for almost five minutes. She went unconscious for about an hour, but other than that it was an easy crossing. After about two…
