The Courage Of Turtles Summary
“The courage of turtles”
I enjoyed reading this story because I thought about nature; animals and natural resources, and how we should help to conserve it. The story leaves a reflection to the reader about how much care we take of our environment. On the other hand, I found the vocabulary very complex in some fragments of the story, I found that the author uses synonyms of some words to give the reader a more interesting experience when reading. When I started writing my narrative essay I realized that I was using very long sentences and I didn’t know if this was appropriate for the reader. When I read “The courage of turtles” I found that the author also used very long sentences throughout the story and it kept me focused on the story.

    In 1947 it was reported that over 40,000 Kemp’s Ridley sea turtles were nesting along the shores of the Gulf of Mexico and today only 200 Kemp Ridley’s remain on those grounds, making these sea turtles one of the most endangered animals in the United States. When I was younger I remember visiting South Padre Island and seeing holes a long the shore line with little eggs inside them, I also remember this man who drove up and down the beach looking for those eggs in a golf cart. I asked my mom “Why is this man taking away these eggs, won’t the momma be sad?” my mom then told me that these were in fact the eggs of the Kemp’s Ridley. I had no idea how that was relevant, I was six…

    Throughout life, inspirational lessons dwell at every corner with that golden opportunity to take those lessons and inspire others. Speeches are excellent ways to teach lessons and motivate listeners since the speaker has the freedom to add emotion to their voices and also add dramatic pauses that create suspense within the crowd of onlookers. However, stories can lack that emotion the voice of a speaker gives it. So, author’s use different styles of writing such as varied sentence length for the reader to know the right pauses and imagery to create an impact on the reader’s mind. Wes Moore, the author of The Other Wes Moore, uses theses crafts of writing to make a claim in the beginning portion of chapter seven that the impermanence of life makes every moment too precious to waste.…

    “In fact, all writing is an attempt to transform ideas into words, thus giving order and meaning to life” (The Longman Reader, 13). Moreover, The Longman Reader reveals, “You might also have noted that figurative language, energetic verbs, and varied sentence patterns contribute to the essay’s descriptive power” (The Longman Reader, 83). Good writing communicates emotion to the reader, evokes figurative language, and uses reoccurring themes. These strategies are exemplified in stories such as: Maya Angelou “Sister Flowers,” Gordon Parks “Flavio’s Home,” George Orwell “Shooting an Elephant,” Virginia Woolf “The Death of The Moth,” Langston Hughes “Salvation,” and many more short stories.…

    “What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail” (Unknown)? No person can say or do anything without one taking it too personal and getting offended by it. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and belief but that does not mean they have the one correct opinion. Everyone has a story or background about their life that few people know about. Everyone has worked hard for something and failed. So why is it now people are constantly in disagreement with others beliefs and think they have some sort of say in it? Social media makes it easy for people to argue without talking in person. Society has brainwashed people into thinking that only one way is right—even though everyone has different pasts and perspectives. People need to…
