Primary Succession Primary Succession is an ecological succession process that occurs in an environment with no prior inhabitants. Primary succession is the changes in species composition over time in a previously uninhabited environment. When primary succession begins no soil exist; rock surfaces like volcanic lava and glacier scraped rock surfaces are the platform on which primary succession begins. In figure 4.4 of the text Primary succession is happening on glacier moraine after the glacier

As I walked outside and smelled the refreshing scent of pine and heard the chipper calls of the birds I knew I was home. I’ve been living as a fire lookout in the lush green forests of Shoshone National Forest for about three months now.

The theme of the short story “I Used to Live Here Once” by Jean Rhys (1976) is death and the journey home. Without implying literal death‚ this story is characterized as an allegory‚ which is described by Clugston (2010) as “a fictional work in which the setting‚ characters‚ plot and other elements are all symbols‚ each conveying an aspect of an abstract moral‚ religious‚ or social concept.” Another narrative element this story contains is the use of a Motif‚ which is a recurring theme in a literary

English is a Crazy Language (An Opinionated Reflection) English is indeed the most popular and the most used language in the world. There are some countries like in Japan; not sure but Japanese people don’t actually require speaking English. For me‚ it’s the reason for their unreachable success.
