After reading the Monkey Wrench Gang‚ by Edward Abbey‚ I find myself questioning the moral and philosophical aspects of eco-sabotage. Is it right? Is it helping? I find myself unclear on where I stand on the issue. If it were me‚ would I be out there on the front lines? Or would I fall back‚ and stand by the safety of everyday life? I find myself thinking that I would be out there‚ but I wouldn’t follow the example of those in the book. To me‚ they didn’t have their reasoning‚ or their strategies

wishes can be a huge disaster. The story of “The Monkeys Paw” by W.W. Jacobs and the story of “The Third Wish” by Joan Aiken tell us the effects of wishing for something and everything that comes afterwards. In the rising action of both stories they both have a lot in common. The main characters use their second wish to make their wife’s happy. The themes for both stories teach that wishes or other sorcerery should not be taken lightly. In "The Monkeys Paw" and in "The Third Wish" the main characters

The story is about a Monkey’s Paw which is cursed by a Fakir who wants to show that fate does exist. When ‘’Herbert`` knocks on the door the father understands something that the mother does not. He understands that Herbert is not himself‚ as the monkey paw will have some evil or misfortune tied to him: ‘’ For god’s sake‚ don’t let it in``. We can see in that phrase that he realises that the thing knocking on the door is not Herbert which is why he uses the word ‘’it`` instead of using the pronoun

Absolutely not. In today’s world‚ zoos are nothing short of essential. Their main function is conservation. Without captive breeding‚ many endangered species would now be extinct - for example‚ the golden lion tamarin‚ red wolf and Przewalski’s horse. I am not for a moment suggesting that we should stop trying to protect animals’ natural habitats‚ but if endangered species were to become extinct in the wild (which sadly seems quite likely in the near future)‚ zoos will have preserved them for future

The brains of chimps and gorillas probably didn’t go through many evolutionary innovations‚ because they generally resemble other ape and monkey brains. This implies that the human brain changed a lot after the human/chimp evolution. With the exception of the olferactory bulb (scent)‚ all brain structures are larger in humans than in apes.

a deeper throat than the flowers exploited by the butterfly species in its original range. The average length of the proboscis that is used to suck nectar from flowers is also greater in butterflies that inhabit the new area. The butterfly collector makes a very valid hypothesis saying that the butterflies have adapted and evolved to their surroundings by having longer proboscis. Evolution plays a key role in how animals survive‚ change and evolve according to their surroundings. It is no surprise
