Proverbs are short sayings that offer a general truth or good advice. Joseph P. Kennedy said one proverb that is quite significant: “When the going gets tough, the tough get going.” This phrase simply means that strong people do not give up when a challenge arises, but rather, they will work harder to overcome it. Beowulf epitomizes this maxim during his battles with Grendel, Grendel’s Mother, and the Dragon. The first battle in the epic poem Beowulf involves the main character, Beowulf, and an…

Spielvogel contribute a crucial factor of Britain's success in industrialization because of the ability to cheaply produce the product in greatest demand. This is similar in Leopold’s case. Congo had large amounts of ivory from elephants with larger tusks and rubber. Also, as a result of the industrialization, rubber was in high demand for use in tubing, hoses, and especially insulation in telegraphs and electrical wiring. Leopold owned the rights to the land already so at times when he didn’t…

still-living species’ habitats. Scientists have recently been able to place DNA from frozen woolly mammoths into elephants, their closest living relatives. This process gives the offspring characteristics of both species, including more hair and longer tusks. Another method scientists are using is to cut DNA from the mammoth cells and place it into specific sequences of DNA in elephant cells, which has the same effect as the first method. Both approaches have been somewhat successful, but…

an extension of the upper lip with two opposing extensions, or "fingers" at the end of it (in contrast to the Asian elephant, which only has one). The trunk is used for communication and handling objects and food. African elephants also have bigger tusks, large modified incisors that grow about 7 inches a year throughout an elephant's life. They occur in both males and females and are used in fights and for marking, feeding, and…

The human population has multiplied more than 7 times since 1805, when the population first hit one billion people worldwide. Today the population has grown nearly to 7,400,000,000 (7 billion and 400 million) people globally. On October 12th, 1999 the six billionth person was born, Adnan Mevic in Sarajevo, Bosnia. Only twelve years later in 2011, the world hit a record of seven billion people. That’s roughly 150 babies born per minute worldwide-that makes the average birth rate 1.13% for…

Elephants are an essential part of the ecosystem and existing and new ways to restore the population should be considered. Between the years of 1970 and 1990, thousands of elephants were killed by poachers to collect their ivory from the elephant’s tusks (Hamilton, 2016). In 2011, 8% of the elephant population was killed due to illegal poaching and in 2013, about 20,000 elephants were killed. In Africa’s Bouba N’Djida National Park, 50%…

Initially, the memory of the elephant being killed for the tusks, teaches Jonas not to be greedy in other creatures’ expense. The author announced, “Going closer, he watched them hack the tusks from a motionless elephant on the ground and haul them away, spattered with blood. He felt himself overwhelmed with a new perception of the color he knew as red” (100). This memory sickens…
