In Chapter 9, the quote from The Origin of Species talks about similarities of a silkworm to a caterpillar or the cocoon stage. This quote was picked because it has to do with silkworms and butterflies. One of the main focuses of this chapter is Petey. In this chapter, Petey is a caterpillar that lives in Calpurnia’s grandfather’s laboratory. Soon, Petey will turn into a beautiful butterfly. What this quote from the book means is that differences from the silkworm and the caterpillar are known to appear and be alike at the cocoon stage of the caterpillar’s life. This was a good quote to start the chapter because of the introduction to Petey, who is a caterpillar. In Chapter 9, Callie is asking Granddaddy questions about Petey such as, “What
After finishing the New York Times post, “‘You’re Gonna Die’: Survivors of the Texas Shooting Recall Terrifying Scene” by Simon Romero, I saw some mistakes he made when adding quotes from the Texas shooting victims into his post. Towards the beginning of the article Simon Romero effectively builds up the background for the first victim, Joaquín Ramírez’s quotes, however, he doesn’t explain the reason for incorporating the quotes. After his fourth quote, ‘But I tell all the parents in this world: hug your children today,’ said Mr. Ramírez, 50, an immigrant from Mexico. ‘Love your children. This may be your last day with them, that’s the world we’re living in.’ (Romero). Romero doesn’t close off the first victim’s group of quotes or gives any thoughts before proceeding onto the next victim.
You are stuck with very little surviving in a prison camp. Or, you are stuck in the middle of the jungle, in the middle of nowhere, lost from any sort of communication and no way to get out. Can these two shocking situations really relate to each other? How do the traits, determination and love from the story Deep Survival by Gonzales's relate to the story Night by Wiesel.

In the book The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate chapter 9’s quote goes perfectly with the chapter because Calpurnia found a caterpillar named Petey. The quote talks about how odd features of a silkworm show through at the stage of a caterpillar or cocoon. Petey was a caterpillar that Calpurnia had found and wanted to keep, she named him Petey. Through reading the book it explains what Petey eats and how he is doing. Also, the quote explains how features or habits form for a silkworm at the stage of being a caterpillar or in the cocoon stage. When the book put this quote at the beginning it was easy tell chapter 9 “Petey” was going to be about an animal. The quote compliments the writing of Jacqueline Kelly for chapter 9 because it explains information
“At night I would lie in bed and watch the show, how bees squeezed through the cracks of my bedroom wall and flew circles around the room, making that propeller sound” ( Kidd 1). This quote represents the story about a girl named lily and how her life turns around after one day. In this journal I will evaluate why lily decided to leave, question why T-ray is so abusive to Lily and predict where lily where go next.
The love and disputes between father and son. The relationship that Amir has with Baba is quite complicated. Amir constantly tries to earn Baba’s love and respect while Baba has a hard time accepting how Amir is and compares him to Hassan. While travelling to Pakistan in the back of the truck Amir felt sick quite often by which Baba was quite annoyed. “I saw it on his embarrassed face the couple of times my stomach had clenched so badly I had moaned. When the blurly guy with the beads-the praying woman’s husband-asked if I was going to get sick, I said I might. Baba looked away.”In addition to this when Amir throws up, Baba apologizes to the fellow passengers to which Amir feels guilty and annoyed that he is just 18 and the way Baba is behaving is as if car sickness is a crime. This suggests that Baba was expecting Amir to be more self controlled and strong so that he didn’t feel sick showing us the conflicts he has with Amir as he expects a lot from him.
This quote comes from the beginning of chapter 11 in the novel The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate. The quote means that not every child will want to do what the parent has planned for them. Sometimes when the parent wants their kid to be let’s say a baker just like the rest of their family, to continue the line of bakers. The parent will teach him/her all of the skills they need to know to be a baker. But the child doesn’t want to be a baker.

Lennie old Lennie the great old Lennie. Lennie wants to own a rabbit farm. But there are some of Lennie traits that I believe will make it a little bit of a struggle for Lennie. The traits that will hurt Lennie the most are he does not like to talk, he is mentally challenged, childish and playful, also he is very strong. These traits will harm Lennie in the long run because rabbits are small creatures and could be harmed if he is too rough.
Milkweed is has satisfying personal experience with a war where racism and respect are precented. I would recommend this book to a friend because Milkweed personal experience with racism has a huge impact on readers, it shows the treatment of jews that lived inside Germany in World War two. The book shows all the problems that the jews faces, german citizens mistreat them and even show signs of disgust towards the jews. In the book you play as misha, a boy who was taken from his city and lives in the dump of Germany. He states that “When you own nothing, it's easy to let things go.” This quote shows us that this boy has nothing in possession, he carries and owns nothing. The book shows a interesting and very accurate life of a person with no property. This is only the first reason I would recommend this book to friends.

Why Evolution is True is a book by Jerry A. Coyne about how modern man slowly evolved from single cell organisms. This book has changed my whole perspective of evolution. Before I read this book I was a strong believer in creation but while reading this book I realized that there are to many connections between all of earths animals. I am unable see a scenario where we could share so much of our genes with other creatures and still say that we did not evolve from other animals and were just created by a god.
