Squid Research Paper
Surprisingly, I have been to a restaurant where I had a bad experience. It happened when I was ten years old and my parents took me to a restaurant called Nagoya in Perrysburg. We all wanted to try something new, so my parents thought it would be a good idea to try squid. The server brought it out and it looked very fancy and not like squid at all in my opinion. Me, not knowing it was squid yet, grabbed a handful and shoved it in my mouth. The texture was very slimy and truthfully, I thought I could feel its arms moving around like it was still alive.

My instant reaction was to spit it out and grab my water and chug all of it. My parents didn't do anything but laugh at me while I trying to get rid of the awful taste. After a while, I

    The other species I am focusing on are brown barnacles. Brown barnacles are marine crustaceans and have hexagon shaped shells with an animal living inside it. They are sessile organisms meaning they are fixed in one place on the rocky shore. They are usually found at high tide zones on rocks on rocky shores. According to the data collected from the field trip on the 9th of March 2016, 19% of the brown barnacles of the brown barnacles were found at high tide zones, 6% at mid tide zones and only 1% at low tide zones. Therefore a high majority of brown barnacles live at high tide zones. Brown barnacles usually live at higher tide zones so that they can be further away from their predators such as oyster borers. Brown barnacles are sessile organisms,…

    The vampire fish. That is what the Sea lamprey was nicknamed when discovered in 1835. First spotted in Lake Ontario, researchers were horrified to learn that the Sea lamprey feeds on blood. These parasitic fish latch on to their victims and siphon their blood and other body fluids, sucking them completely dry. What separates the Sea lamprey from other fish, other than their horrifying blood fetish, is their unique body structure. These fish do not have jaws or any other bone structure in their anatomy. Instead of the norm they possess a skeleton that is made out of cartilage. With a unique body set up, comes a unique mouth. It is described to be a large hole filled with sharp, pointy teeth. And this teeth frame a just as deadly tongue.…

    Hello Anastasios! Thank you for your great feedback! Yes, Seth has achieved a lot through self-publishing. I chose to pick one thing that he overcame in three different ways. This was difficult for me because, in a sense, they were all similar in that they had to do with self-publishing. I tried to convey the various tools and ways he met these challenges. I believe each of these examples were an answer to a problem or challenge in the industry, two were specific challenges given to Seth from people who are a part of the industry as well. The Squidoo.com collaboration was a little harder to show exact tools used to overcome, however, I think that collaboration itself is a tool that should be utilized as much as possible. I know it will be something…
