    It’s my day off; we’ve landed at the island of Tristan D’Acunha. It’s a beautiful island with perfect weather conditions. It felt good to finally be back on dry land. Our ship has run out of food so I volunteered to go look for food. We had men fishing, men hunting, and men looking for food that’s been growing. I was searching for grown food when I came across a spring of fresh water. I knew we were running low on fresh water so I ran back to the ship, brought some help and hauled tons of drinking water to the ship. When we got back the captain had our meal ready, it wasn’t much but at least it was something. All we had was fish to eat but there was plenty enough there to feed the crew. The fish was gray in color with a bunch of black dots on the upper half of the body. Coming down the side of the fish looked to be a reddish almost pink stripe.…

    There are perhaps no days of our childhood we lived so fully as those we spent with a favorite book.” This is a famous quote said by Marcel Proust. Books over the centuries have had an influential impact on the lives of many. Arguably, there are none more influential than children’s books. Children’s books contain important life lessons and teach many children the basic values they will hold for the remainder of their lives. Examples of the best range from the well-known Dr. Seuss books, to the always-popular Winnie the Pooh books. Although those are historically popular, The Rainbow Fish, by Marcus Pfister, is one that should be kept in mind. With it’s enticing illustrations, simple and descriptive context, and lesson it portrays, the children’s book The Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister should be considered for a spot on the “Top 100 Children’s Books” list.…

    In the Pacific Northwest, salmon are an incredibly important part of the ecosystem. Their presence indicates the health of rivers and there are over 100 species that depend on salmon as a source of food (Rahr). As salmon move from saltwater systems into freshwater systems again, they bring essential nutrients with them. These nutrients are put back into the ecosystem when the salmon are consumed and when their bodies start to decompose. Many of these nutrients even make their way back into the forest when bears drag the bodies of their prey away from the river (Rahr). The cycling of nutrients is essential when it comes to the health of forests and rivers. Besides improving the overall health of the ecosystems that they are a part of, salmon…

    The small electric motor built in to the reel whirred as it dragged whatever it was towards the surface. The water parted exasperatedly as the thing became to emerge. It was no fish. Tim saw the box gleaming persistently against the glazing sun peering out from the thick blankets of clouds. The box was as long as a coffin and shaped like an egg. It had a pure silver hue on the sides that wrapped around to the back exaggerating the subtle curve that made it seem thinner than it really was. At the bottom of the box scorch marks scarred it leaving a rainbow stain. A circular dent also sat rigidly at the side. In the middle however a clear pane of what seemed to be glass held something. Tim, eyes open stared horridly as the grotesque creature laid limp on the side of the black material that lined the inside. Tim fixed to the ground, trembled uncontrollably at the Small manifest thing. It was no bigger than a baby and it had grey skin, almost translucent as the skin stretched over the vein scattered body. It's skin was wrinkled and rolls of skin lulled on the edge of his head. Tim knew what it was a creature, it couldn't be from here it was not creature like, it was a…

    I asked my dad a lot of questions about fish but he would always kind of blow them off. Im not sure if that is because he really didn’t care, he didn’t know, or maybe a little bit of both. I always found the anatomy of it to be so fascinating, the way everything was placed so perfectly and everything was there for a reason. When my dad was done extracting the filet I stood there and explored the fishes insides trying to label organs with my extent anatomical knowledge which I picked up from sitting with my mom as she watched General Hospital and a couple dissections I did in middle school. After labeling all of the organs I actually knew, I examined the fishes gills. To this day I never and still do not understand how they can allow fish to breath under water. I was down there dissecting for so long that my hands smelt like fish for a couple days. I recall my mom had to come and yell at me for messing around with the dead fish. “Jeremy what are you doing, come inside and shower.” I tried to hold her off for as long as I could by saying something like “one second!” or “I’m coming!” and hoped she did something else and forgot. This ended with my mom having to come down and almost threaten me to…

    After hours of sitting out on the dock, my cousins and I were getting tired. So, we decided to see who could catch a fish first, and then we’ll be able to go inside. It took us another hour in order for one of us to catch a fish. During that hour, there was a lot of frustration and yawning. Since we all gave up on trying to find a manatee, we began to bring in all of the plates that were once filled with food and the fishing poles. But, as soon as we started to get everything together, we heard a noise coming from the water that sounded like something was breathing. Well, to our surprise, that was the sea cow we were hoping to see. The sky around us was too dark to see near us, and the tiny lanterns on the dock didn’t help too…
