In this book wars article, I will be comparing two books on the commonality of their main characters. They are both young adults, although one is a boy and one is a girl. Book one is Evolution, Me, & Other Freaks of Nature by Robin Brande. Book 2 is Erak’s Ransom: Ranger’s Apprentice Series, Book 7 by John A. Flanagan. They are both about a young adult facing varying challenges in life, and becoming an adult. The first book, Evolution, Me, & Other Freaks of Nature, by Robin Brande, is about a high school girl who was ostracized by her former friends for doing something right, and her struggle with her parents and finding friends. The big issues/challenges of the main character, Mena, are her self-confidence, and confronting her parents and former friends. For most of the book, her …show more content…
Flanagan. It is about a boy named Will who goes on a journey, with companions. His companions get captured, and he is their only hope. His issues are self-doubt, and thinking that he will never be as good as his mentor. “‘But what if I make a mistake?’ Will asked” (158) Will is talking to a friend about when he graduates and won’t have a mentor anymore. The quote shows Will’s self-doubt, that he’s not sure he can do it. This is just one part of Will, that makes him such a great main characters, really engaging to read about. However good both books are, I think one is slightly better in regard to main characters. And that one is... Erak’s Ransom. I think that one is better because his issues are more complicated, and he succeeds in saving his friends. Under a ton of pressure put there by himself, he acts. And succeeds. In addition, and with no relation to main characters, I like that book better. It is fantasy, and action packed, as opposed to the other book, which is realistic fiction. But overall, those are several of the reasons why I picked Erak’s Ransom over Evolution, Me & Other Freaks of
Many books have shared values and themes but like A Separate Peace and The Kite Runner. They both share common themes and writing techniques. They share imagery, metaphors, sarcasm and irony. The spirit and mood of the book have similar ways they make the character grow and evolve. Both books have common techniques they use to let the character move on and grow to do something better and more hopeful with their lives. They both use friendship, warfare, and conflict of identity to help their characters grow.
these books’s similarity, most of all, is principal character who attends elementary school. And then, these noveles’s flows is stories happening at the school.
The book tells the story of the death of much of the author's family. It shows how he overcame much adversity and survived his training.

There are many ways to explain how Earth and everything else came to be. Such as, Uniformitarianism, Catastrophism, Gradualism, and Punctuated Equilibrium. Generally, Uniformitarianism and Catastrophism are grouped together while Punctuated Equilibrium and Gradualism are grouped together separately from Uniformitarianism and Catastrophism. Gradualism and Punctuated Equilibrium are usually looked at through a biblical stand point rather than how Uniformitarianism and Catastrophism are looked at from the opposite view.
These seven organisms are organized in this way because I believe that these organisms evolved over the time. There are a lot differences that every organism had. For instance, all of these organisms are Eukaryotes, they developed over time and evolved over time due to environmental effects and genetic evolvement. For that, they developed and apparently have different shapes and sizes. Amoeba evolved such that it evolved and shaped a fish. It began as a unicellular organism but then became a multicellular organism that evolved all over again and again till it shaped the fish with fins, gills, eyes and gills.
Evolution is the scientific theory that all life forms came from ancient ancestors. Humans today show a great amount of diversity such as natural selection, migration, and mutations. Microevolution is a change in a living creature that happens within the same species, while macroevolution is with living creatures evolving to a different form of species. Charles Darwin was one of the first scientists to form some type of a theory on evolution. However, data sets such as; the geological column, fossil record, and structural homology, all prove that evolution is just a theory.
Your original ideas have paved a pathway which allowed evolutionary theories to develop over time. Nearly all scientists have accepted your scientific ideas. Your evolutionary theory resulted in the development of ideas as to how life originated on earth. All your theories you founded on your voyage have also been accepted by most scientists and have shown support for many theories including yours of evolution and varying species.The theories of varying species you found on your journey around the globe showed evolution and genetic diversity globally, locally, and over time.
The theory of evolution by natural selection exercises two major concepts. The first concept being evolution, which is what happened to all species. Secondly, natural selection is the concept of how the evolution happened. While Darwin was not the first to propose the theory of evolution, he and a man named Alfred Wallace were the ones to offer intelligible descriptions of how this phenomenon occurred.
The topic of evolution can be scary, important and intimidating. This was definitely the case for me, as I interviewed my grandmother. When discussing who I intended on interviewing, I immediately thought of my grandma. I wanted to hear her thoughts on the subject as well as her misconceptions. By having a great pre-existing and open relationship, I knew I could count on her for an unbiased and “real” conversation. My 65 year old grandma grew up in a religious and devout Christian family with a history of conservative beliefs. She has been in the insurance business for over thirty years and has tremendous experience talking with farmers regarding crop/farm insurance. She often
“Evolution is the process by which different kinds of organisms gradually develop from a simple to a more complex form”, (National Geographic). The scientific theory of Evolution had been introduced by Charles Darwin in 1859. Although Evolution was just a theory, Darwin had the speculation that there was more to the idea. I believe that Evolution did occur, but not without the help of a higher being. Although I do believe in Evolution I am convinced that Creationism ties into the concept of Evolution. Creationism is the belief of organisms and the universe originating from an intelligent entity. Can faith and scientific theories coexist? Yes, I believe that the scientific theory
Evolutionary theory is a broad topic that encompasses a lot of different aspects. It is one of the most important theories in archaeology. Evolutionary theory has changed the landscape of archaeology, and how archaeologists see it “Evolutionary perspectives continue to play a fundamental role in how archaeologists interpret hunter-gatherer economics and social organization.” (Lightfoot, Luby, and Pesnichak 2011: 55) and this cannot be any truer, not just in a hunter-gatherer context, but archaeology and anthropology as a whole. It has given more depth to our understanding of the past and how people got to where they are. Evolutionary archaeology is a relatively new concept, but it has been gaining momentum over the past decades. Evolutionary theory has its strengths and weaknesses, but I believe the strengths outnumber the
According to National Center for Science Education, evolution is a scientific theory that explains the emergence of new varieties of living things in the past and in the present. Evolution accounts for the striking patterns of similarities and differences among living things over time and across habitats through the action of biological processes such as natural selection, mutation, symbiosis, gene transfer, and genetic drift. There has been an ongoing debate between religion and science as to whether evolution truly takes place. It may be possible for religion and scientific reasoning to support one another when it comes to evolutionary theory. Many who support the Christian faith are against evolution and believe God is the creator of
Biological evolution is the name for the changes in gene frequency in a population of a species from generation to generation. Evolution offers explanation to why species genetically change over years and the diversity of life on Earth. Although it is generally accepted by the scientific community, Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution has been studied and debated for several decades. In 1859, Darwin published On The Origin of Species, which introduced the idea of evolutionary thought which he supported with evidence of one type of evolutionary mechanism, natural selection. Some of the main mechanisms of evolution are natural selection, mutation, and genetic drift. The idea that all life on Earth shares a common ancestor has been around for
