Meritocracy‚ which can also mean

I would object to the idea of “The Survival Lottery”.

Since it would be begging the question to

Pi’s survival can be put down to one simple thing‚ his trust in god. Discuss. Canadian author Yann Martel portrays Pi as such a strong-minded human being in his novel ‘Life of Pi’‚ the story shows that Pi’s hunger to survive gets him through the whole ordeal of being stranded at sea.

His youth in Pondicherry

People love stories‚ whether it’s just daily gossip or a deep novel. While reading‚ most people play through the story in their minds‚ and think what they would do in that story.

Biomes are arranged by specific environmental conditions (i.e. rainfall‚ temperature‚ and humidity) and house specific types of vegetation or factors that allow organisms adapt to these environments. Cataloguing organisms that share similar adaptations makes it easier to study all the environments found on Earth (Lomolino et al‚ 2017). The profile of the Earth and all its biomes have changed drastically over millions of years due to the continental drift that broke up Pangaea. The changes in
