Mediterranean Monk Seal

Seal-world (2016) said, “Researchers believe that the Mediterranean Monk Seal is very shy and doesn’t like to be around humans. This could explain why they have moved from giving birth on land to doing so in the caves under the water. As people continue to move closer and closer into the natural habitat area of these seals it is going to require them to continue further adaptations of their current behaviors.” There are many threats to the survival of the Mediterranean monk seal such as habitat loss or deterioration, deliberate killing by fishermen, accidental entanglement and drowning in fishing gear. Lack of foods and water pollution can also contributed to Mediterranean monk seal mortality (Karamanlidis, A. & Dendrinos, P. 2016). As mentioned…

alike have blemishes that are hard to look at. I only hope that the miller can refrain from making bold quiet possibly harsh statements about the Summoners profession. Although this may be a problem I have placed them together for the rest of their similarities. I have placed the monk on the same side as the summoner and the miller. He will be seated in the center of the table along with the yeoman but further to the left side. The reasoning for my selection is due to their greatly similar…

In the Northanger Abbey, John’s characteristic is not very kind by the act of him continuously lying to Catherine and General Tilney in order to get what he wants. From the conversation that Catherine and John had during their first horse carriage ride, John said, “ ‘Novels are all so full of nonsense and stuff; there has not been a tolerably decent one come out since Tom Jones, except The Monk; I read that t’other day; but as for all the others, they are the stupidest things in creation.’…

One of them being the cathedrals. Monastic cathedrals were run by monks (Lehmberg 261) while secular cathedrals are run by deans and canons (Lehmberg 262). The monastic cathedrals had a chief officer of the monastery instead of deans (Lehmberg 41). Monastic also housed more people than secular (Lehmberg 39). There were differences in how they did their services. The monastic cathedrals held three masses each day (Lehmberg 49). The three masses that were held included the morning mass, the…

In The Almond Tree by Michelle Corasanti, one main symbol is present throughout the book. This main symbol is the almond tree. The almond tree transitions from different representation as the characters and ideas evolve. A Palestinian family, known as Ichamd and his family, experienced the presence of the tree throughout their hardships. Within the book, the almond tree is a recurring symbol that represents hope, survival, and shelter. Foremost, the almond tree represents itself as hope. During…

The seventeenth-century Gothic novel is associated with the combination of the supernatural realm and Romanticism. Jane Austen’s novel, Northanger Abbey, is an attempt to critique the seventeenth-century Gothic novel by identifying Catherine’s sensibility through her over fascination and addiction to reading—such as Ann Radcliffe’s The Mysteries of Udolpho. Austen utilizes Catherine’s obsession with novels as a means to highlight how such fascination has caused Catherine to become naïve and…

This shelters the people from confining to the worlds’ ways. The only person to break this vow would be the monk. Chaucer says, “Was all his fun, he spared for no expense.” (Line 196). The monk spared no time for God, or doing things for God. He had all of his fun and didn’t focus at all on Christ alone. The vow of stability was not broken as much as the other vows. This next vow is obeyed and broken by many of the church…

passed away. Guibert incorporated his fathers plea into a section after he discussed his education when he was a child. A reason for this structural decision is that incorporating it afterwards creates a reason of why Guibert must have felt so dedicated to pursue the path of becoming a clerical. If a person were to read only the part that consisted of Guibert education, the reader would assume Guibert was simply being a dedicated child who holds a dream career. If Guibert were to include this…

backward state the institutional church was in. For example, Chaucer’s The Friar, who tells a tale of a Summoner who tries to prosecute an elderly woman unfairly in order to take her money. The Friar displays characteristics, not of someone you would expect who is religious. Friars would take an oath to live poorly and would travel the country, relying on generous contributions of money from the public for their income. Yet Throughout the book, he is portrayed as being a gluttonous fraud. In…
