not like that isn’t normal. He doesn’t seem to notice me at first, he was looking off to the high school football stadium across the street, probably thinking about clarinets or something. His oddly parted brown hair was covered with an odd, large, red, coned hat that oddly coordinated with his blue cape. He is much taller than I am, making it very difficult to look him in the eye, but I could still tell he was concentrated. I snapped near his face to gain his attention.…
The rainbow is a natural phenomenon, noted around the world for its beauty. The amalgam of colors has become a symbol for many things, a recent event being the adaptation of the “Gay Pride” flag. Colors play a large role in our world today, just as they did in the novel The Great Gatsby. Fitzgerald went wild with his pastel, acting as if they were washable paints. Fitzgerald painted a rainbow, but it was no ordinary rainbow. The obvious take on the color white is innocence. It seems that…

A HUGE RED TRANSPORT truck stood in front of the little roadside restaurant. The vertical exhaust pipe muttered softly, and an almost invisible haze of steel-blue smoke hovered over its end. It was a new truck, shining red, and in twelve-inch letters on its sides—OKLAHOMA CITY TRANSPORT COMPANY. Its double tires were new, and a brass padlock stood straight out from the hasp on the big black doors. Inside the screened restaurant a radio played, quiet dance music turned low the way it is when no…
In Giotto's "Lamentation", color is used to create emotion by using soft colors. Color used are a light blue, pale pink, soft green, creme color, light orange, etc. I believe these colors create a calm emotion such as sadness or worriness. The shade of blue that was used takes over almost of half of the picture, I believe this shade of blue is gloomy. If any bright or even dark colors were added to the painting it could take away the importance of the painting. The use of color does have a…
Panda are a big ticket item in all zoos. Pandas bring prestige and fame to a zoo. What most people don’t know though, is that fame and prestige cost a lot of money. For each panda that a zoo has, it cost them one million dollars per year plus another six hundred thousand dollars every time a cub is born. On top of that, the money that the zoos make annually is not enough to cover the cost of the pandas (Washington Post 2). Pandas are not worth one million dollars a year, simply to look at. There…
The study on the Lincoln’s Children Zoo is not the only study that shows the extreme economic impact zoos and aquaria have. There are many other people that have researched, and show how zoos are economic generators for the communities. Based on the information interpreted by Thomas (2011), “Looking just at Texas, a study determines that AZA-accredited zoos and aquariums generate $884.2 million in economic activity annually for the Lone Star State. They also employ 8,998 people and provide…

world. Pandas are becoming extinct. This species of mammals are a happy, cute, cuddly looking teddy bear that lives in the Asian continent and frequently seen in captivity. The pandas are not a dangerous type they are loving and kind to all creatures. Sometimes they can be funny, entertaining, and immature. A good example of this is what a panda did to a Washington Post Reporter; the Panda turned around, put up his stubby tail, and relieved himself (“Powell” 32). This demonstrates how the panda…
wild animals as one of the following, “a fearsome predator or benign teddy bear.” On the one hand, violent experiences in zoos are often triggered by children believing that the animals will do them no harm. For example, children that see fluffy panda bears at a zoo may be tempted to enter an enclosure expecting to experience a large teddy bear. Earlier this year, in May, a child fell into the gorilla exhibit inhabited by Harambe, a critically endangered animal. Before falling in, the boy had…
