Painted fish

provides Santiago with a link to his younger days, as well as the strength and idealism that are associated with youth. At the beginning of the book, which wrote: “He no longer dreamed of storms, nor of women, nor of great occurrences, nor of great fish, nor fights, nor contests of strength, nor of his wife. He only dreamed of places now and of the lions on the beach.”(19) Corresponsively,…

plants and sea life still out there. Aside from the sheer admiration, humans have figured out just how valuable the Ocean is to our well-being and survival. Humans rely on the Ocean for transportation of international goods and services, food like fish and shellfish, mining minerals such as salt, recreational transportation…

awards: Biggest fish, smallest fish, most fish, and 1 other. I was going to try to catch the biggest fish, and not give up. I cast my line out into the lake. I stared at the bobber, not taking my eye off of it. “ZIP!” The bobber went under the water. I jerked the pole up and started reeling the fish in as quickly as I could. “SPLASH!” The little fish I had caught popped out of the water like a cork. I took the fish off the hook and I…

Like if a fish were to eat some plastic it could choke or die from ingesting it because of what it's made out of. The main purpose of the video was to show off the beauty of the ocean and what it could look like with no trash. They even start the video off with Kelly…

Introduction Humans and sharks have different digestive systems in order to suit what they eat. Humans are omnivores which means they eat a variety of either animals, plants or both. On the other hand, sharks are carnivores which means they only eat meat. Another factor that dictates what they eat is the environment they live in. Humans live in a human habitat and sharks live in an aquatic habitat. Over time, both humans and sharks have learned how to adapt to their environment. Humans have…

Platypus was swimming one day on the river. He saw a flock of ducks and went to say hi. “Hi” platypus said. “Hi loser” one of ducks called out. “Hey I'm not a loser” platypus replied. “Yeah you are your just not cool. You don't even have a bill like us. You can talk with us when your cool.” Platypus was shocked. He couldn't believe he wasn't cool. “I’ll get a bill” platypus told himself “no matter what.” Platypus went on shore and thought how he could get a bill. “Hey you” platypus heard.…

Elizabeth’s Journey Mother and Father stop in front of a dock with crashing waves hitting the side. I crash into them knocking all of my stuff out of my hands, I look up slowly regaining my balance. My jaw drops when I look up not only do I see the waves crashing and people running here and there, knocking people over, and see people make way for the wealthy. I gawked a colossal ship standing in front of me settling in the water, the ship that is to take me to New York, from Southampton.…

Desjardins and Fernald (2010) wanted to discover whether fighting an opponent is similar to fighting a mirror image. These male fish are territorial and tend to engage in fighting when they encounter another size-matched male. Thus, Desjardins and Fernald (2010) measured differences in behavioral, hormonal and brain activity between the different conditions. They also measure the immediate early genes such as the egr-1 and c-fos in four brain regions: dorsomedial telencephalon (amygdala),…

I watched the Ted talk video, “The fascinating secret lives of giant clams” by Mei Lin Neo. This speech essentially entails information regarding giant clams, such as their basic size or growth status and most importantly how important/essential they are to their aquatic environment/ecosystem. While this speech was well presented and very informative, there are a few points in which Mei Lin Neo falls short on. Starting with her good points first, she was very confident regarding her topic, which…

There is an old saying, finding a needle in a haystack. Fortunately, I have never had to try to find a needle in a haystack, but I have had to find an anchor on the bottom of the lake until I went fishing with Jon Mans. It was a bright sunny day in the middle of July. Jon Mans and I were headed to the lake, where we would meet our football coach, Jimmy, to go fishing. Even though we arrived at the lake well before Jimmy, we got my 14-foot camo Alumacraft the trailer. Additionally, the boat was…
