Analysis: Dead Jellyfish
Jellyfish are found in every ocean, regardless of the climate or amount of pollution. They can grow from the size of a pencil eraser up to eight feet with stingers 200 feet long. They feed mostly on plankton, and occasionally consuming small fish that get caught in their tentacles. Some of the predators that jellyfish have to deal with are other jellyfish, sharks, swordfish, and sea turtles. Dead jellyfish can still sting, so be careful where you step on the beach.

    Week 7 Checkpoint: Physiology Assignment

    I chose to look up a diagram on a sea dwelling organism known as a Jellyfish. Jellyfish have many different forms and are often characterized in different groups. One jellyfish that stood out to me was the Aurelia or also known as the Moon Jellyfish, which is like the basic jellyfish that I’ve always seen in pictures and books growing up. Jellyfish are said to be very effective predators, as one point in the time they were considered to be at the top of food chain. Being effective predators makes them physically fit to be in any environment that they travel to. Even though most would say that jellyfish are horrible swimmers, they are actually in fact many are very strong precise swimmers. Jellyfish can swim horizontally and vertically by using contraction against their bell to expel jets of water to propel them. One drawback of them not being stronger swimmers like larger fish is that they often get caught in sea currents and get stuck in them as they go pass. The bell that propels them has a thick ring of strong muscle, called the coronal muscle. That muscle generates most of the power and energy used by a jellyfish. Now hanging from their subumbrellar is a projection called the manubrim which has the mouth its terminus. The mouth is often surrounded by oral arms normally just for but can sometimes be a multiple of four such as eight, depending on the type of species. Jellyfish don’t have a brain but they do bear a sophisticated computer which tends to all its needs and functions throughout the jellyfishes body. Though not as complex as a normal brain, it does suit the jellyfish well. Now on the edge of the underside of the jellyfish’s bell are its tentacles. The tentacles too can range in different numbers and sometimes some have thousands. These tentacles can be used to feed it, but also are use as it self defense mechanism to protect and also to hunt. The body and tentacles of a jellyfish can discharge…

Jennifer Boylan made it understood that she is a “male-to-female transexual” and not a transvestite. She said that the word transvestite sounds “creepy” and bug-like. She believes that it is not about dressing up like a female but mentally and physically feeling like one.…

    Regeneration is the biological mechanism whereby organisms restore lost or damaged cells. This process can be used to replace organs, tissues and limbs on a small to large scale. Each type of regeneration requires different amounts of energy, resources and time. Orconectus rusticus (crayfish), compete for food, survival and mating. They have large claws that are vitally important in competition and survival. This species has developed the ability to regenerate these claws over time if they are lost or damaged. The motives and forms of regeneration in crayfish have evolved due to many factors. The effects that regeneration has are linked to the various needs that have evolved in the…

    A Perfect Day For Bananafish Analysis

    Psychache is a term coined by suicidologist Edwin Shneidman. Psychache refers to an unbearable psychological pain -- “hurt, anguish, soreness, aching, psychological pain in the psyche, the mind” (Shneidman 51). It can refer to anything like the pain of excessive guilt, humiliation, loneliness, fear, or anything that causes psychological pain. According to Merriam Webster Dictionary, alienation means “a withdrawing or separation of a person or a person's affections from an object or position of former attachment (“Alienation”). It results in loneliness, emptiness, and despair. In “A Perfect Day for Bananafish” by J.D. Salinger, Seymour Glass is a man who had just come back from fighting in a war. He cannot relate to adults, especially his wife, Muriel, and the people at the resort he is staying at who are all narcissistic and live lavishly. Seymour is the most comfortable around children, especially Sybil, whom he meets on the beach at the resort. He lives through his ideal world with Sybil full of innocence, purity, and…

    Blackfish Analysis

    Sea World’s attempt to refute the documentary “Blackfish” was so disappointing. It did not just fail; it crashed and burned. “Blackfish” is a documentary that shows the psychological and physical harm Sea World is doing to their Killer whales by keeping them in a confined space. The Documentary also demonstrates the danger Sea World is putting their trainers in by having them work with their killer whales. In response Sea World published, on their website, an article titled "Truth about Blackfish". The beginning of their article starts out strong making valid arguments that successfully convinces it's readers to entertain and think about the idea that “Blackfish” might indeed be manipulative propaganda. Their statement…

    Essay On Blackfish

    Some people believe that Sea World is a greedy, profit-seeking organization that couldn’t care less about the treatment and well-being of their animals, but the truth is, the animals are in the best possible care. If the orcas or any other animal at Sea World were anywhere else, they would not get the attention and care they need to survive. Sea World’s reputation was tarnished severely by the documentary, Blackfish, in 2013. “This documentary claims that life at Sea World is cruel and harsh for both the trainers and the whales and that they have attempted to cover up the truth about many incidents involving their whales; both are false (Truth About Blackfish, Sea World Cares.com). Kyle Kittleson, a former marine mammal trainer for Sea World, states, “the documentary, Blackfish, is about 15% correct; one of those facts being in Sea Worlds earlier times, like the 60’s and 70’s, people had a different…

    The Strange Mistakes Of Fish Analysis

    Being exposed to different kinds of poetry from childhood, I grew fond of it though now I prefer fictional prose to poetry. As a profoundly sensuous form of creative writing, poetry both challenges my mind and conquers my aesthetic sense with its subtle wording. But specifically because it is a thought provoking and demanding form of writing I do not read poetry often. Therefore, the variety of topics, styles and forms of poems collected in Alehouse Journal 2011 disoriented me completely. However, the poems were carefully selected and united under the common styles, topics, and forms. Dreams was one of such topics. The complex nature of dreams make them one of the most prolific topics in poems.…
