The tropical rainforest and tropical savannah are two of the ten major global terrestrial biomes of the world. While they are both located on or near equatorial regions‚ varying differences in climate‚ biodiversity‚ ecology‚ and soils characterize each region. Even though both are under the larger categorization of being “tropical”‚ the similarities end there‚ as each biome has its unique features that set it apart.

Y Tu Mama Tambien is rather a unique movie‚ in which the director and writers did a good job in producing it to be a symbolic film. What I find to have been the most interesting part of the movie was the role of the narrator. Throughout the course of the movie‚ the narrator would enter into a scene with a rather detached tone and omniscience role‚ by revealing truths about each character which they refuse to acknowledge or even cannot know. This coincides with the fact that everyone does have their

Innocent or Guilty? Grace Marks‚ the main character in Alias Grace by Margaret Atwood‚ is undoubtedly guilty. The evidence against her is way too much to consider innocence. Feeling sympathy towards Grace seems easy‚ especially since she tries to make it out to seem that she is the victim‚ but when looking at the facts only‚ it is obvious that the evidence all points against her. She has motives‚ Grace has left evidence‚ and her stories are not consistent with each other. The evidence‚ as well

I thought the poem “Our Generation” By Jordan Nichols‚ was very unique. It showed that people can have two perspectives on the world‚ a positive or a negative. This poem is different because of the way you can read it from top to bottom‚ and bottom to top. Both ways showed that you can view the world in two different ways. The first time read it‚ it was very negative with lines saying “our generation was a failure” and “our generation will be known for nothing”. The second time‚ It was very positive

To Miss C.O. y R. by José Rizal (A Translation from the Spanish by Nick Joaquin) Why ask for those unintellectual verses that once‚ insane with grief‚ I sang aghast? Or are you maybe throwing in my face my rank ingratitude‚ my bitter past? Why resurrect unhappy memories now when the heart awaits from love a sign‚ or call the night when day begins to smile‚ not knowing if another day will shine? You wish to learn the cause of this dejection delirium of despair that anguish
