Snake

My memories are bleak, I have little recollection of the events that lead my friend, Montresor, to chain me within this recess.

This surprises me now, but then I had enough alcohol that it seemed as if everything were fine. After some conversation, he said that he received a pipe of amontillado, yet he didn’t…

Reptilia, which contains over 8225 species. Reptiles are animals that are ectothermic (cold-blooded) vertebrates that breathe air. Most reptiles are oviparous (egg-laying) animals with the exception of some ovoviviparous (live-bearing) constrictor snakes and vipers, as well as a few lizard species. They are also theropods, vertebrate animals that have four limbs or are descended from animals with four limbs. Deciphering the lizard classification system can at first seem like a daunting task.

Rikki-tikki-tavi “Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” (Winston S. Churchill). In fact, muskrats are very courageous animals, because they have to hunt deadly snakes for their food. Muskrats are rodents that are native to North America, but they can be found in Europe, Asia, and South America. These very sociable animals are mostly active during the night, but they can be active during the day too. Rikki-tikki-tavi, is a very brave and…

During this Church History Intensive, Doctor Steve Hoskins allowed us to delve deeper into the history of the Church, and throughout the class, he challenged us to reevaluate our perspective of the Church, as a whole. We were instructed on why church history is important, and why we should not only know the history of our Salvation Army but of the Church, in general. Countless men and women fought for the freedom of religion that we have in this day and age. If we do not educate our people,…

The reason they are able to is because they have an extra organ that allows them to get oxygen from the…

I am responding to “Horns of the Alter” which is a chapter in the book “Pilgrim at Tinker Creek” by Annie Dillard. In the beginning of the chapter Annie talks mainly about how fascinated she is by a copperhead snakes. A couple of pages in she goes on talking about a mosquito that landed on the copperhead’s back, sucked its blood dry and killed it. For many pages to follow she explicitly talks about parasites and every which aspect about them. At the end Annie philosophically relates parasites to…

cobras. The book is written by Rudyard Kipling. The book and movie of Rikki-Tikki-Tavi have many similarities, such as the characters, the setting, and the conflict. The characters are pretty much the same in both the movie and the book. The evil snakes, Nag and Nagaina, are in both the book and movie. Nag is the husband, and thinks of himself as the king of the garden. The story states, “Then inch…

a different color. You’ve got it made in the shade. Now we’re cooking with gas. Don’t get your gall bladder in an uproar. Say your alphabet; A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O? Q R S T U V W X Y Z. Where is the P? Running down my leg. If that were a snake it’d bite you. What is read, white and read all over? A newspaper. What is black, white, and red all over? A blushing zebra reading a newspaper. Two flies cruising down the river in an old tomato can. The flies above all sing of love waiting…
