For example, Chris Kraul, Journalist for Los Angeles Times shares, that a cattleman woke up one morning to find bite marks on his cattle, along with 10 of his calves with anemia (Kraul). Thus, by killing the vampire bats, we can prevent the attacks on the cattle. Secondly, scientists claim we should not kill the bats.

    Metal Bats Are Better Than Wood Bats

    My research revealed three main points to me. One being that metal bats have a larger “sweet spot” than wood bats. The “sweet spot” of a baseball bat is a place on the bat where the ball leaves the bat with the greatest speed and the player's hands feel very little vibration from the impact. This is because a metal bat’s barrel can hold a uniform shape longer than a wood bat. This larger “sweet spot” provides a better chance for the ball to not only be hit but hit harder.…

At the end of the story the moth finally concedes and accepts his demise, however, not until he has righted himself in to an upright position. She uses the moth as a symbol to represent man and his struggle with death. Woolf uses seasonal imagery and personification to convey the theme that even though death is inevitable and pathetic to fight against, that fighting is noble and allows…
