Carbon Dioxide Surface Area
3,396 wordsOne of the most little known species of ants in North America is the leaf-cutter ant. This is mainly because it lives in tropical environments and it is not aggressive to animals or humans if not disturbed. The leaf cutting ant is a social insect. Alone the ant is virtually helpless but with the colony it can be a thing feared by animal and human alike. The leaf-cutting ants have a very important role in the tropical forest. They create and manipulate the environment around them. They also can d...

Carbon Dioxide Dry Season
3,157 words... "The ants's unless lies in the evolutionary concept of kin selection" (Hoyt 1996). This concept occurs when members of a species work for the survival of relatives - genes by descent from a common ancestor rather than for one's survival of its own offspring (which is called individual selection). This is a very complicated process in which many people have devoted their lives to its study. The gathering of food by the leaf cutting ants is a complex series of interactions and communication wh...

Gold Can Stay Mordecai Marcus
3,490 wordsAlfred R. Ferguson Perhaps no single poem more fully embodies the ambiguous balance between paradisiac good and the paradoxically more fruitful human good than " Nothing Gold Can Stay, " a poem in which the metaphors of Eden and the Fall cohere with the idea of felix culpa.

" In this version the poem lacked any Edenic metaphor...

As opposed to Ransom, who thought The Waste Land " seemed to bring to a head all the specifically modern errors, " Tate defended the way Eliot's poem embraced " the entire range of consciousness" and impersonally dramatized the tragic situation of those who live in modern times. Tates " Ode" treats that situation in specificall...

Quot Quot Dried Leaves
4,040 wordsPeter Baker The details of this poem are so unassuming that they may easily be missed. The young woman is not in a negligee, she is " in negligee. " One also must do a sort of double-take to figure out how the speaker could know this if she is behind the walls of a house. Though the standard line on Williams is that he freezes moments of perception (language used to render perceptive instants), this poem, while apparently simple, utilizes a three-part temporal framework. The first stan...
