When thinking about humans and nature‚ no one realizes how similar both actually are. In particular‚ geckos and humans share a similar trait though being very different.

For that reason the task of fully evaluating these two pieces side by side may forever be a work in progress. Each essay contains three major points. These points discussed new and advised teaching methods‚ how
