    The reason that these snakes are here is them being brought over as pets. When they grow much bigger than their owners had expected they do the worst thing possible and release them into the wild, where they make their way to the everglades. Another reason they are in the everglades is hurricane Andrew. This storm destroyed many warehouses which contained over 900 pythons. Nearly all of them escaped into the everglades.

In the novel, Watson and others tell their versions of events that involve Watson, forming their own versions of what Watson may or may not have done. Even though Watson was never brought to trial for Starr’s murder, he left Arkansas and set off for the Everglades, where he raised pigs and supported himself off the land. Even with all of the doubt in Arkansas, Watson seemed to fit in as a welcome member of the Everglades, and he settled in to begin farming in Chatham Bend. The Everglades was very different from life in Arkansas. There were hundreds of tiny islands, most of which were barely above water, and were uninhabitable. Watson was a man who boasts…

    By the time General Zachary Taylor took over command of the Army in Florida, the Army and Navy Chronicle on November of 1838 published his observations “that there reports that there are upwards of 200 Indian and Indian negroes consisting of Seminoles, Tallahassees, and a few Mickasukies left in the territory.” The remaining Florida Indians moved deeper into the Everglades. The few remaining Seminole in the Everglades were led by Billy Bowlegs, who under heavy political pressuring from both the Oklahoma Seminole and the federal government agreed to move westward with most of his followers in 1858.

    To begin, Florida known as “the sunshine state” hooks you in as soon as you enter the state. The beautiful palm trees blowing in the wind, the numerous orange groves you see from the roadside and the welcome center offering fresh squeezed orange juice makes you feel so at home. There are so many beautiful exotic looking flowers in the landscaping of homes and businesses. Of course, the warmer climate is the main attraction in Florida. The annual average high is 79F degrees and the average low is 57F degrees. Snow rarely falls in most of Florida, but has on occasion in the northern peninsula. Florida also has an abundant annual rainfall especially during the months of June through September. In addition, Florida is located between the Atlantic Ocean and The Gulf of Mexico, therefore it also has exceptionally high humidity and of course there is always a chance of hurricanes as well. Undoubtedly, both of these items are a major downfall to me.…

    The state of Florida is a vacation and retirement destination, with a record 94.7 million people visiting the Sunshine State in 2013 (Jackovics). However, south Florida is under an imminent threat that many people refuse to acknowledge. The sea level is rising, and southern Florida will be underwater by the end of the twenty-first century, unless major projects to save the land begin now (Parker). Unfortunately, because south Florida consists of a fair amount of reclaimed swampland and sits at or below sea level in many places, these projects to save the southern part of the state will cost astronomical amounts of money that simply are not viable options for the government or individual citizens. Land developers are looking into floating villages,…
