The brown Pelican, Great White Egret and Snowy Egret all belong to the Order of Pelecaniformes (Pelicans and Allied Waterbirds), whereas the Black American Vultures belong to the Accipitiformes Order and the Laughing Gulls belong to the Order of Charadriiformes (Shore Birds and Waders). Since the brown pelicans were accounted for in the discussion already and the laughing gulls there is no need to explain their key features and purposes as well as their breeding, distribution, feeding and roosting habits. The Great white Egret key features are its long bills which is used to spear the prey. They stand still and allow to allow the prey too slowly past and they catch it. They are usually found in the Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia and bred during the summer months. They inhabit the freshwater and saltwater habitats and nest high in trees, marshes, swamps, streams, rivers, ponds, lakes, impoundments, lagoons, tidal flats, canals, ditches…
Gauri has for decades been haunted by her inadvertent complicity in a 1960s political assassination in Calcutta. Gauri’s inescapable awareness of “the loss that would never be replaced” dwarfs the revolutionary accomplishments of the past, suggesting that the private world of the family endures wounds more painful than the public narrative of history can describe. This novel aspires, and occasionally struggles, to meet the formal and total demands of epic tragedy. Ironically, the few weaknesses…
Tom is a despicable character who embodies everything that is wrong with society, and flies through life unpunished. Gatsby is a man who came from humble beginnings, and made something out of himself for the sole purpose of recuperating the one thing that ever made him feel alive – Daisy. Gatsby lied, cheated, and took part in organized crime, so what can possibly him great, you may ask. Well, in my opinion, Gatsby’s never-ending optimism, simplicity of heart, and power to make his dreams into…
Viewers would proclaim the film better because of its more realistic characterization. For instance, Slim "a tall man...moved with a majesty only achieved by royalty and master craftsmen....There was a gravity in his manner and a quiet so profound that all talk stopped when he spoke. His authority was so great that his word was taken on any subject..."(Steinbeck, 33). Steinbeck portrayed Slim as God. Steinbeck spent an entire page describing Slim 's physique and indicated that Slim is unique.…
As the growing bubble of the stock market suddenly stopped some of the wealthiest people in our country instantly became paupers. Of coarse as a direct result of the crash, the economy weakened and unemployment skyrocketed. Now as to whether the crash was the case of the great depression is still strongly debatable. Since the great depression happened after the 1929 stock market crash, many people blamed it for the economic collapse. Some held President Hoover responsible, others targeted the…

This concluded that the genre of people that were approaching were of a higher class than most who possess riches and elegant garments that they could flaunt amongst others. It?s as if they were dressing up for a Halloween party. Their garments were immense and ostentatious so people could recognize who they were and they could at least have the attention on them for few minutes. If their outfit was excessive, then the rest of their attire had to be fit to a tee, including their hair, nails,…
Jay would stare into the green light on the Buchanan's dock endlessly while reaching for it. While Gatsby is reaching for this light, which represents the past when he was in a happy relationship with Daisy, he is unaware of the consequences that are created from his absent-minded choices that he takes to win back Daisy. For example Jay takes the blame for a murder, throws giant parties, gets involved in bootlegging, and most importantly becomes someone he isn't deep down all to impress a girl…
They "display the basest elements of nature... and lack all sensitivity, all compassion for those more helpless and weaker in mind and body than they are" (Johnson 16). Curley is extremely competitive, a trait that is evident in his desire to prove himself in a fight with Lennie and in his constantly asking where his wife is, as if he is competing with the other workers for her or demonstrating his "ownership" of her. Jealousy consumes him, and he lives as if he is subject to Darwin's theory of…
