Tarantula

I have always loved to travel. I love to just see the world and experience different cultures, but there was one place in specific that I really, really wanted to go to. That place was Samara, Costa Rica. I had been begging my parents to take me there for around a year or even a little longer. We knew some people who had lived there for a while and they just got me hooked on that one little town. I mentioned it every single day. I would even send them links to houses for us to stay in and…

Research Paper The English idiom "don 't judge a book by its cover" is a metaphorical phrase which means "you shouldn 't prejudge the worth or value of something, by its outward appearance alone". This is something that we all have to deal with at one point in our lives. From judging others to being judge we’ve all experienced it, treating others differently/wrong just because they look different or came from a different background. The two stories that come to mind “Brownie’s” a story…

The Leonardo and the Aquarium are both great museums, but there are many differences, while there are also many things in common. Today I will be comparing and contrasting the Leonardo and the Aquarium. These two museums are full of many fun things to do, Let's start with The Leonardo. The Leonardo is a large museum up in Salt Lake City. The exterior of this building looks very interesting. It has large flat pillar like structures panning around the building, some with interesting designs and…

Grub is a piece that strongly encourages the consumption of insects in our meals. Why? Because we may be facing a crisis as meat could disappear in the close future, Goodyear notes. When this happens, it will be a worldwide problem and will most certainly create conflicts among countries. “World War Three will be over control of water and food”. (39) Because of this constant threat of running out of aliments, why not replace meat with, well, meat? “The insects may be an answer”. (39) The purpose…

revisioned her story multiple times to appease the audience, “people were permitted to ask her all manner of questions about her absurd state and to examine her up and down so no one would ever doubt the truth of her horror. She was a frightful tarantula the size of a ram and with the head of a sad maiden” (372). The first initial question for the reader is how could parents wish that to their daughter? That same question provides curiosity to the people wanting to pay admission to meet her.…

The smell of smoke and the falling of ashes was a sign of defeat that would not be tolerated. It’s December 8, 1941, the day after the attack on Pearl Harbor and Roger Protankscy and his squadron had just been ordered to be transported onto the USS Missouri. Roger was a strong and robust man fit for a soldier, but it wasn’t just his physical outlook that made him a commander of twenty of the best soldiers in the world it was his ways of leadership that stood out. Roger had a right-hand man and…

Who can be more penny-wise than us when it comes to travelling? I see people bragging about their budget, which seems to be too good to be true… then I see people totally dumbfounded by it haha! You’ll never get to tell whether this is factual unless you’ve done enough research before your trip. What can you expect if you are totally naive when exploring a foreign country? You’ll be doomed to disappointment. Yes, research is the key. Travel blogs or firsthand experiences from your friends are…

a sidekick to the birthing of kittens when in 4-H. I have owned and cared for a variety of parrots, doves, and a “dove” that a friend brought to me to care for that turned out to be a white pigeon. I’ve owned a guinea pig, lizards, a Rose-haired tarantula named Fluffy, and a lot of fish. I had 14 painted turtles living in my bedroom at one point as well as one baby snapping turtle. Growing up, I would fish (and always throw back) and go snake hunting to find new species I’d never seen with my…

Reality is more struggle and difficult than illusion by magic and imagination. Having a reality has few consequences like showing their style or effort to achieve or be a better one. It’s a hard experience for someone to become imagination. As we learned from the Streetcar named Desire, the characters are using more illusion to ditch problems from others and escape reality. It’s hard for the characters like Blanche to tell the truth. As we seen in the play that Blanche was drinking would stop…
