Film adaptation

The film "My Fair Lady" directed by George Cukor is an adaptation of the play "Pygmalion" by George Bernard Shaw. The movie is set in London in the early 1900s. Although the film has too many songs, I believe that it is overall very good and has great actors and actresses castes to play the rolls, and scenes that are an addition to the book that add a great new taste! The movie My Fair Lady starts with the main character, Eliza, as a poor girl selling flowers on an England street corner. She…

Chapter 3 of the book The Art of the Con: Avoiding Offender Manipulation does a great job of describing the ways in which inmates spend their time during their prison sentences. Inmates use this time much differently. They adapt, cope, and meet their needs much differently as well. They are so accustomed to their lifestyles out of prison so they must do these things to stay sane. Inmates must quickly decide how they are going to spend their time in prison. This depends on what their goals are…

individuals to support themselves and survive. In contrast if there was little to no diversity it would be harder for animals to compete with other animals that have better adapted structures. However, competition among species could cause certain adaptation to occur in order for survival in a region and to make sure they can leave strong offspring so the species can continue to thrive. Darwin discusses how there is a struggle between males of species for the possession of females in order to…

Mary Rowlandson had no choice but to adapt to the conditions of her captivity and the hard conditions of living in the wilderness. She had no prior knowledge or experience of this type of living as she explains “I was not before acquainted with such kind of doings or dangers” (494). One of Rowlandson’s first adaptions to her captivity was her eating habits, her first three weeks of captivity she barely ate a thing. She referred to the Native Americans food as “filthy trash” at first, nonetheless…

How to build a hedgehog Hey kids, this week we will be learning about different animals. We will be looking at the eating habits, color, looks, and daily lives of different animals all week. Today we will be learning about a very interesting animal, the hedgehog! We will learn all about them, and then we will be creating our own hedgehogs out of craft supplies. Creating these hedgehogs will help you learn what each part of the hedgehog does. Hedgehogs are nocturnal animals that are covered with…

Adaptive Radiation The ability of an organism to fill the all the available niches in a given area. Anoles in the Greater Antilles occupy ever niche available to them, from the broad Base of trees, the narrow twigs carpeting the ground and also the grass. These anoles as living in each respective area are adapted to life in their environment. Giving them the advantage they need to survive. For example the anoles found on the base of tree bear long hind limbs which are adapted for long distance…

classes may not adapt to change and may refuse to cross class boundaries. This paper discusses the difference of opinions regarding change and adaptation in culture between Schwable and Sowell and argues the point that adjustments are necessary in culture. Schwable takes a utilitarian and devil’s advocate approach to discussing cultural change and adaptation. He asks posing questions and makes comments that promote intense thought and discussion.…

made of chitin containing a small soft creature. This shell is a structural adaptation that helps them survive because it protects them from predation and other harms such as being crushed. (Anthoni, 2007) They filter water with their legs when they are submerged to eat plankton. When the tide goes down again, they close a ‘door’ in their shells to trap water inside. (Whoi education, 2014) This is another structural adaptation that stops them from drying out during low tide. Barnacles can live…

Adaptations Adaptations are features of an organism which allow it to survive in its niche, ultimately allowing it to reproduce. Adaptations can be structural, behavioural or physiological. Structural adaptations are physical features of an organism, behavioural is something the organism does and physiological adaptations are chemical processes an organism uses to survive. Each adaptation an organism has, has a purpose to help it survive in its niche. Green Chiton The Green Chiton has…

Penguins are well adapted to their enviornment in different ways. They have adapted to their abiotic enviormental by getting used to the cold weather and to the ice and water. They have adapted to the weather by having feathers and by having fat to stay warm. They also huddle up into a group to stay warm in the cold weather. They have adapted to their preditors by not having any on the land and by swimming fast in the water to get away from your preditor. Also by being smaller than their…
