Can you imagine if only one in a thousand human babies survived? The population would be very small and we would probably be an endangered species. Luckily‚ this isn’t the case for us‚ but for endangered sea turtles it is a reality. Some of the older turtles‚ which are 140 to 160 year old‚ can lay hundreds of eggs every time they go ashore. However‚ only one or two of these eggs survive. Some turtles have been known to live more than 250 years‚ but because of poachers few actually survive that long

"A Little GIRL Lost" from Songs of Experience is one of Blake’s most important poems. Though judging the aesthetic value of a poem is nearly impossible‚ I would contend that "A Little Girl Lost" is "better" than "The Little Girl Lost" found in Songs of Innocence.

Joshua Tree National Park By Luz N Silva My essay is on the Joshua Tree National Park. I chose to write about this particular park because it is special to my husband. He visited there several times while stationed in Arizona back in the late 90’s. I physically have never been there but feel as if I have‚ due to his descriptive love and appreciation for nature. We both love the outdoors and are always curious to learn and explore things we don’t get to see and enjoy on an everyday basis
