    You’ve heard of the islands called Maui, the Bahamas, and Ellis Island, but have you ever heard of Angel Island? Angel Island started off just like a normal island in San Francisco Bay, until the United States turned this island into an immigrate station. Both Angel Island and Ellis Island are immigrate stations, the only difference was that Ellis Island was used for the European Immigrants and Angel Island was mostly used for Asian Immigrants. Immigrants who migrated felt different emotions when they left their country to come to the United States. Angel Island is an island where Asian Immigrants began to arrive, however these immigrants changed America, and Angel Island has changed since immigrants started to arrive.…

    The Island of Dr. Moreau

    In chapter 16 of The Island of Dr. Moreau, we see that some of the creations have been breaking the law. They were taught and engineered to abide by the law and never stray, yet we see that some of them are reverting to their beastly nature. For example, Prendick and Montgomery stumble across a tree that has been clawed and a rabbit that has been completely mutilated. This example of anarchy is Wells’s way of drawing a parallel to Victorian society.…

    Salton Sea Research Paper

    The Salton Sea began its way to life in 1904, when California decided that they needed a way to tap into the Colorado River to irrigate their crops. They decided that they would need to create two intake gorges without the use of floodgates. In came the California Development company and dredged the two gorges; but not long after, the intakes became clogged with silt deposits from the Colorado River and water stopped, creating the need for another intake gorge. But only a year later, in 1905, a miscalculation led to saline water flooding into the gorges, called the Salton Sinks, creating the present day Salton Sea. Currently the source of water for the Salton Sea comes from four different locations: The New River…

    The Island Research Paper

    Cloning is a naturally occurring phenomenon, as well as a human induced process. A clone is a living organism deriving from another, with identical set of genes. A naturally occurring anthropological example of a clone would be twins, a set of individuals with identical DNA. A laboratory-induced clone would be stem cell production and animal cloning. In the movie The Island by Michael Bay, the concept of cloning is used as a life insurance policy to elongate the life of a natural born individual. This medical use of cloning has been under the experimental stage for quite sometime now and under ethical question. There are three different ways of cloning, recombinant DNA technology or DNA cloning, reproductive cloning, and therapeutic cloning.…

    The Shaker Community

    The Shaker Community

    Often furniture, including chests of drawers and cabinets, was built directly into the walls so that they would have no flat surfaces to collect dust. “They fitted their drawers with extraordinary care, dovetailing them precisely. Their knobs are as carefully turned as a pineapple post” (Crocker 12-13). The Shakers honored God through their work and the more effort they dedicate through their products, the more they are close to God. Sister R. Mildred Barker told the visitors: “I would like to be remembered as one who had pledged myself to the service of God and had fulfilled that pledge as perfectly as I can—not as a piece of furniture” (Becksvroort 2). The Shakers aimed for simplicity in everything they designed: “Chairs, tables, candle stands, and other furniture were designed to express the simplicity of Shaker life, as well as to ease dusting, and beds were fitted with rollers to facilitate cleaning under them. As mentioned, the Shakers loved to organize everything within their reach very carefully. “A place for everything, and everything in its place,” (Nicoletta 28) became a popular saying. These things gamut from large to small objects, from “desks, chests, and tables had drawers for specific articles,” (Becksvroort 5) to tiny “needles and thread or packages of seeds” (Becksvroort 5). Certainly, the most obvious and outstanding feature of classic Shaker design is its simplicity and its lack of ornamentation. From the very beginning of their production, “frugality and austerity were central themes in Shaker design” (Anderson 231). They do not care much how extraordinary the outside look without considering their product will function as they always said: “the interiors and exteriors expressed ascetic restraint rather than extravagance”. Shakers also followed the Millennial Laws when doing their tasks, laws that contained “the rules recognized the…

    Salt Marsh Essay

    Salt Marsh Essay

    Salt marshes play vital roles in coastal areas, such as Westhampton, Southampton, Hampton Bays, and many other locations. Let’s look at the global effects of salt marshes. A study from September of this year published in UVAToday shows that the carbon stored in salt marshes may help in slowing global climate change. Carbon dioxide is the predominant so-called “greenhouse gas” that acts as sort of an atmospheric blanket, trapping the Earth’s heat. Over time, an abundance of carbon dioxide can change the global climate, according to generally accepted scientific theory. A warmer climate melts polar ice, causing sea levels to rise. Salt marshes, made up primarily of grasses, are important coastal ecosystems, helping to protect shorelines from storms and providing habitat for a diverse range of wildlife, from birds to mammals, shell- and finfishes and mollusks. They also build up coastal elevations by trapping sediment during floods, and produce new soil from roots and decaying organic matter. Salt marshes store enormous quantities of carbon, essential to plant productivity, by, in essence, breathing in the atmospheric carbon and then using it to grow, flourish and increase the height of the soil. Even as the grasses die, the carbon remains trapped in the sediment.…
