The feral hogs, also known as the wild pigs are invasive animals that were introduced to North and South America. The feral hogs were brought to North America primarily by the colonies during their trade from Europe. They were first introduced to the southern part of the United States by the Spanish colonies.

Would you clone your pet knowing that it can cost over 155,000 dollars? Cloning is a process by which you replicate your pet. Cloning is a good thing, but it also causes controversy. Cloning is not right to do. To clone an animal is expensive. It can be 155,000 dollars (Lewis 23). To clone a horse it is 150,000 dollars, just ask Charmayne James(Church 1).

This procedure could improve the medical and science field greatly. Cloning Dolly, the sheep, was a very precise and intense procedure. The man who accomplished this task was “Dr. Ian Wilmut at the Roslin Institute in Scotland and colleagues used a nucleus extracted from a mammary cell of a six-year-old sheep” (Levine…

The sheep was created by Ian Wilmut, Keith Campbell and their colleagues at the Roslin Institute in Edinburgh, Scotland. She is the first cloned animal to be reproduced from mature reproductive cells using the nuclear transfer method. Cloning became the most significant milestone for modern biotechnology. The technique was invented in the late 20th century but has developed strongly…

In William Golding’s Lord of The Flies, Golding introduces a story about boys who have crash landed in a plane on an unknown island before World War II. This story explains how children, who are civilized, turn into savages through isolation. Golding also wrote an article, “Why Boys Become Vicious,” which is about a cruel kidnapping. He explains what had happened to cause the kidnapping and his own thoughts about it. He also explains how there are certain “conditions” that cause people to…

The story Lord of the Flies by William Golding tells the story of a group of young boys’ survival after they are stranded on a deserted…
