came off the ship. The main character Vallon mentioned how even though he was 2 hours from where he landed, the people treated them all the same. 1:12:00 into the movie, William Cutting said as the people left the ships, “I see no Americans, I see trespassers.” Within an hour into the movie, it seemed that regardless of age, people would still be racist, since in a not so subtle scene, an officer raised his police stick at what seemed to be a passing ‘colored’ child who was playing with other…

I think he thought he was going to be able to get away with taking all or some of the driftwood located against the wooden pier against the end of the pier. Peyton ignores…

Jonathan Jeschke discusses a rapidly growing scientific discipline known as the four general hypotheses in modern Invasion Ecology. Ecology is defined as the study of interactions between organisms and their natural habitat. Jeschke elaborates using different methods of hypothesis to disclose an unambiguous image of each ‘backbone of science’ as a whole and individually and the ways it is beneficial to us. However, the most important influential invasion hypothesis I believe is Biotic Resistance…
