However, when I put myself into the situation and think about what I would do if I were in the workers’ shoes, I think I would have done the same. In the situation, the workers were completely blind about the closure because there is no way that they could sense it. Amongst the workers, one of the workers spent more than 30 years working at the same workplace and has been waiting for the time when he will retire and pursue the dreams he has planned to do for himself and with his family (High, 2003). There was another worker, who was a single mom and has been working hard to support her children, and out of a sudden, she gets laid-off even though she had done nothing wrong (High, 2003). High (2003) also talks about family—the workplace was not just a place they worked. It was their community, people they knew, where their job became like something more of themselves. And it was…
Flying Tigers is the name of a mercenary group of American pilots that helped defend China and the Burma Road from the bombing of the Japanese during World War II. The name of their planes was Tomahawks, but the Chinese called them Fei Hu for the sharks teeth painted on their planes. Flying Tigers were known as the American Volunteer Group of the Chinese Air Force. The Flying Tigers did not see combat until December 1941 when the Japanese started bombing China.…
Richard Wilbur’s poem “A Barred Owl” consists of 2 stanzas each made up of 6 lines of about the same length and one sentence each. Each stanza consists of a rhyming pattern of AABBCC. In the first line the “B” in “boom” recalls the “B” in “brought”. The word “boom” is onomatopoeia. “Warping night” and “having brought” both have similar endings with the “ing” and the “ght” and this is a form of internal rhyme. There is also internal rhyme with “darkened”, “wakened” and “listened” in the second, third and fifth line. Internal rhyme makes the lines flow together. There are many words with “D” sounds in the first stanza such as “da”, “ed”, ld”, “rd”, and “odd”. There is a break in the 5th line accentuated by a comma which slows the rhythm of that line. There is personification of the owl when it is able to ask a question. The question “who cooks for you?” is onomatopoeia since it sounds like the hoot of an owl. In the third line, the “w” in “wakened” recalls the “w” in “we”. The words “tell” and “all” have the same ending but are introduced by different vowels. I also notice that the third and fourth lines both start with “w”. In the fourth line the “f” from “forest” recalls the “f” from “from”.…

They live in South America and can occasionally be found in North America and are listed as near threatened/vulnerable, with 150,000 left in the wild.

They prefer the dense forest and swamps so that they have perfect cover for stalking their prey and they also are strong swimmers.…
For most families immigrating to a new country, it's going to be hard transitioning yourself to that environment with a lot of things one hasn't seen before like new cultures, people, laws, and food. They’re also going to be problems like finding a job, money, making friends, adjusting to different races, and mainly getting expected by other people. It's never easy leaving one's home country which they established themselves to be somebody. Also, leaving family and friends behind is a difficult task to do. Having to start a new life is never going to be simple for anyone trying to make a name for themselves, especially for a foreigner who has no recognition of what anything is in that new county. A lot of times coming to a new country one…
In Frank Stockton’s short story, The Lady or the Tiger, the author leaves the ending in a very precarious way. The author, Frank, leaves the story ending up to the reader. The princess should have the most sympathy in this short story. She is the daughter of a barbaric king who has made his own justice system that he feels is fair. The king puts the accused into an arena where they decide their fate. The princess has to make a brutal decision of seeing the man she loves being eaten by a tiger or being with another woman for the rest of their nature lives.…
B. Bridge: To some people, that doesn't seem too bad, especially if you come from a wealthy family, but what if that wasn't the case? What if your mother and father struggled to put food on the table for you and your siblings? You wouldn't want to be like them. You would want to be better than them and if you were a parent, you would want a better life for you and your children. Some people choose to pursue better opportunites and a better life elsewhere. These opportunities aren't always in their home countries. The problem is that some countries don't welcome these opportunists. Sometimes once these migrants enter a country, they are held back from making a living for themselves.…

The jaguar is a magnificent creature. It owns a prized fur and holds a top speed of sixty-four miles per hour. This powerful, poised, and potent cat species is gradually diminishing. In the later years of the twentieth century, “…around eighteen thousand jaguars were killed [each] year” (Miller). Due to habitat loss, human intolerance, and poaching, there are only an estimated fifteen thousand jaguars left in the wild. Although there are specific organizations and government funds targeted at this species redemption, the beautiful jaguar is still searching for a saving grace.…

There is approximately 4,000 alive in the wild now, and about 300 are in captivity in zoos around the world.…

Socially however, the impact of outward UK retirement migration can have negative effects on the source country. An example of this may be older generations like the grandparents of a family moving away which in some cases can cause families to break and up and become dysfunctional and distant. The migration of retiree’s may also deprive parents of an advantage of free child care, which some families- especially single parent families depend on. This may then increase the amount of time economically active parents take off work to look after their children, thus reducing the amount of money earned, and…
