“The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County”, written by Mark Twain, a humorous genre in which the narrator of the story gets told a short story. The writer uses a certain dialogue throughout the passage. Especially when the character,Simon Wheeler, starts telling the narrator about a “...cherished companion of his boyhood...” from his past. In the first few paragraphs, the writer begins by describing what the narrator is about to do and why. Mark Twain uses his writing to create an…

The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County play versus the short story had many contrasts. Yet, there were characteristics that differed between the two media forms. The setting, theme, plot, characters, and conflict are each a bit different between the forms of the highly-recognized story. The setting of two stories contrast in a couple of ways. To begin with, the play opens right in the old west. The short story, on the contrary, begins at Angel’s Mining Camp. The time period between…

name of Jim Smiley in his "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County". Smiley bet on everything, ranging from animals to how far a car will travel. The most absurd and implausible thing takes place when he tells the story about the jumping frog. Twain writes about Smiley's frog. Now this frog wasn't any ordinary frog. No it was, as Twain put it, "a frog so modest and straightforward as he was, for all he was so gifted." What made this frog so gifted and different from the rest wasn't…

While reading Mark Twain's, "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County", it is impossible to miss the repetitive pattern of implausibility. Twain makes characters seem larger than life, he anthropomorphizes the animals, and he magnifies every detail of the story. This implausibility is attracting to some, while for others, the outlandishness makes it harder to fully enjoy the story. Even though this story was difficult to understand at times, an in-depth analysis of a few short passages…

the bullfrogs in. It costs next to nothing and I do not have to worry about the frogs getting out of it. In the next few paragraphs, I will be telling how to clean the whole frog. When cleaning the bullfrogs, most people will just cut the back legs off and throw the rest away. That is a waste of good meat. Especially on larger frogs, there is quite a bit of meat on the upper…

What is a small blue frog that is poisonous? The blue poison dart frog of course. Blue poison dart frogs are very interesting animals. They are interesting because they are the most poisonous type of frogs. The animal I chose is the blue poison dart frog also known as the Azureus. The phylum it belongs to is Chordata. Characteristics of the Chordata phylum are: most have vertebrates in other words animals with a backbone, they live in water for part of their life, they have no…

Difference in Frogs Humans are all under the same general specification of Homo sapiens, but they are all different from height all the way to thoughts. The same goes for any other types of species with the same universal name. Each are disparate like frogs for example. The term frog is a synonym to its more specific name: Amphibians. Both of these names are umbrella terms for these animals. Yet, there are many different varieties of frogs such as the Turtle Frog and the Clawed Frog. Although…

electrostatic machine that produced sparks on frog legs and began to investigate the muscular contractions produced by electricity. Galvani discovered that the frog leg would contract if a scalpel touched the frog’s nerves when the machine was on.
 More comprehensive experiments by Galvani showed that a dead frog’s leg could be made to twitch by electrical stimulation. Galvani also showed that the same twitching could be produced by touching the leg with a copper hook hung from an iron nail.…

his tribe’ also has human aspects, some of the frog’s legs are human legs, the morphing of both human and frog. They are more similar in context and influence then they are in techniques and colour. She has used porcelain in majority of her works, including ‘Daphne’ and kept the colour scheme to white, but in this sculpture (last of His tribe) she has drifted away from using white by making the center frog a bright orange and the surrounding frogs a dark grey almost black colour. She has also…

This summer I went to Big Moose Lake in upstate New York. I go every year with all of my cousins and we all hang out with each other for a week. It is our kind of family reunion because I have 20 cousins on my dad’s side and 12 aunt’s and uncle’s and we never get to see each other. Most of them live in New York, so does my grandma, some live in Pennsylvania, and my two cousins and I live in California. At Big Moose Lake we all stay at a place on the lake with a bunch of cabins that we rent out.…
