2. One of the key differences between William Bradford's and Thomas Morton's view is their purpose for coming to the new land in the first place. Bradford came with his people to escape religious persecution and to found a religious colony. He sees the events that occurred on the ship over and in the establishing of the colony as proof of divine's hand in these plans pressing him on, such as when God smote the man who mocked them for their faith. On the other hand, Morton and his people came…

The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, TPWD, has been around since 1895, just not in the form that we recognize today. The department got its roots when Texas legislature created what was known as the Fish and Oyster Commission to better regulate fishing within in the state. It was later on, in 1907 that the next phase of the department was added on as the Game Department. It was added to give the original department more reach to protect not only the fishing in Texas, but also other forms of…

Zambia, Africa is a different environment than what Americans are accustom. The natives portrayed in the Eye of the Elephant are rationing their portions every day. They do not have a McDonald’s right down the street or the convenience of a grocery store on multiple corners. What they have is the Black Market. The Black Market can sell anything from ivory to leopard fur but it is all done illegally. Mark and Delia have to deal with these problems in their own way. A major problem in the book…

Most of this took place on the Great Plains, a vast grassland. For many generations, these Native Americans lived together in small villages, consisting of tepees. Unfortunately, this way of life was before the settlers arrived and “invaded” these lands. While the Native Americans believed that the land belonged…

Giraffe Herds Female giraffes associate in groups of a dozen or so members, occasionally including a few younger males. Male giraffes tend to live in bachelor herds, with older males often leading solitary lives. A individual giraffe can join or leave the herd at any time and for no particular reason. Because giraffes are so widely scattered, it may seem that they do not keep in contact with each other, however, this is not true. A giraffes keen eyesight means they can keep an eye on their…
