An observation I made is the differences and similarities between Daisy and Myrtle. F. Scott Fitzgerald makes it so that we play favorites with Daisy even though Daisy and Myrtle have a lot of similarities. Some similarities they share are that they both are unhappy in their current relationship and they both perpetuate an affair. Some differences between them is that they have a completely opposite physical appearance. Daisy, Tom’s wife, is described as light and elegant. Myrtle, Tom’s…

Urban sprawl caused the increase of physical and environmental footprints of many cities all over the world, some of them having a significant increase in a very short time. This, however, leads to the decrease and destruction of natural wildlife habitats and farmland. The trend of urban sprawl first started in the US after the end of world war II.

Which was to be expected, as anything natural would go against their beliefs. I feel that the Commission merely acted swift to try and silence the NRDC, only to end up creating an even bigger issue. I feel that along with the obvious constitutional rights, the U.S. Supreme Court had no other option than ruling in favor of Consolidated Edison.

Smiley then got this frog and when he got it he trained it to jump the higher, faster, and farther than any other frog in the county.
