    Ulises Explanation Of Ducks Flying In V-Formation

    The importance of Ulises’ explanation of ducks flying in V-formation to the group is that the ducks are working, flying, and supporting together to fly to their location or goals. Mainly, ducks flying in V-formation for protecting the oldest ducks and the youngest ducks. These ducks keep the oldest ducks and the youngest ducks in the between of the strong ducks so they can watch out for them, if something come to get those ducks. The reason is that the youngest ducks and the oldest ducks are weak so a different killer birds or animals can catch them easily. Usually, the youngest ducks need their parents watch out for them until they are ready for living in their own life. We can see that if some small ducks stay far away from their parents,…

    Descriptive Essay: Frio River

    My first view of the river makes me breathless. Shallow water washes over the road’s cement pavement. Men, women, and kids break the river’s flow; some sit in fold-up chairs and read a book, but most others are leaning back in a colored tube floating the slow water. A giant cypress tree waits patiently by the road; two large nails pin a rusted metal sign to it, warning visitors of state rules and regulations.

However, the sight also makes me impatient for we don’t start tubing until the second day. I never…
