Jellyfish

Plastic pollution and the effects on the ocean By: Hana Crittenden I have decided to research plastic pollution in the oceans. I chose this topic because every other summer since I was little, my dad's side of the family has a family reunion at the New Jersey Shore. We rented a very nice beach house right on the shore. And I have always loved the ocean so I looked forward to this trip all year. But I have noticed that over the years trash has been building up. And every time I come back to the…

write about since almost every year I wrote about the same animal. Almost every year in elementary school, I had to write a report on an animal, and every year I wrote about jellyfish because it was my favorite animal. I had already started the essay because I was already experienced and a professional at writing about jellyfish. When we finished writing the essays, my teacher told us to peer edit our classmate's essay at home. The person that I decided to edit was someone that I didn't like,…

Try to compare yourself to another species, pick anything, from something as complex as an ape to something as simple as a sponge. Are you having trouble? What can we possibly have in common with a creature so abundantly different than us? Although it may come as a shock that we have anything in common with an entirely different species, we are comparable in many ways. Our similarities with other organisms may not be phenotypic. If you take a closer look into the DNA of other species and compare…

I saw this huge tunnel that was surrounded by the ocean. As I entered, it felt like I was walking across the bottom of the ocean. I was underneath the ocean with schools of fish and stingrays swimming side by side. There were giant turtles and jellyfish gliding next to the coral reefs. It was beautiful. But what I really loved were the sharks. There were a number of sharks in the place too and as a kid I was crazy about sharks. I was studying the sharks, like how they glided effortlessly across…

finds his own true bravery when it counts, traveling across the entire ocean and facing all kinds of threats in dogged pursuit of his son. He's not only just brave when he successfully escapes the bloodthirsty sharks, or navigates through the jellyfish and let's the whale shoot him and Dory out of the blowhole. He's brave to open himself up to Dory to begin with, letting go of his aversion to strangers…

bipolar disorder as she did. Woolf is absolutely descriptive of everything, nothing goes without clarity. Every sentence evokes a embodiment of her memory as if it is happening at that very moments. “One day the sea was full of pale jellyfish, like lamps, with streaming hair-”. Her recollection of this scene is described with utter…

in the field of genetics. Recently scientists from the National Taiwan University's Department of Animal Science and Technology have discovered a way to make pigs glow in the dark by using the genetic material of a jellyfish. What they did was extract the genetic material of a jellyfish and inject it into the embryos of pigs in the hopes that the pigs would be born green, and they were. The three pigs that they were successful on were born with a green tint to them in the sunlight, and in the…

do just that. As I went in to poke my large, pointed nose into the man’s skiff, a Portuguese man-of-war came along. I panicked and quickly let go of the bait and instead of drowning the man hid under the cover of his small and powerless boat. The jellyfish left and I began to taunt the man once more. Two days had passed and the man showed no sign of giving up but only sign of pushing forward. I started to fear that the man would win. He still did not know how gigantic and masculine I was. I…

4. The Atlantis Bahamas, also known as Atlantis Paradise Island, is the resort built in 1998. It is located on the island of Bahamas like its name. Sol Kerzner, the South African multi-millionaire, and Kerzner International Limited are the founders of the resort. Towers and resorts altogether form the paradise island which requires time to finish. Initially, they constructed the beach and coral towers followed by the Royal tower to be connected by a bridge. In 2007, the resort was available for…

“Aly we’re in Alabama, almost to Dauphin Island.” My dad mentioned as he was driving. “Yay!” I shouted as he drove on, “I can already smell the salt in the ocean it’s like I can taste it! I can see the waves and hear them crashing against each other!” 15 minutes later my dad said “We’re here!” When we got in our beach house we waited for our friends to get there and we walked straight to the beach because it was right across the street. We got to the beach and laid down our stuff I laid down on…
