American literature is much different from literature most authors write today. American
literature has meaning and a sturdy purpose. Three words with important meaning in society appear in
American literature. The power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or
restraint is the legal definition of freedom. Freedom allows people to express anything or do anything
they want to if it doesn't offend people and as long it isn't violating any rights of others. Without
freedom a lot of things would be stolen away from us. The state of being equal, especially in status,
rights, and opportunities is the legal definition for equality. Equality provides a safety barrier for people
because is assures them that

The idea of
taking a frog would not have crossed the mind of someone's head and caused them to think that they
were doing a bad thing. In his time, people had the freedom to go take a frog and have no consequences
or fussing after it was all said and done. In today's society if someone were to read this story now and
read about how a man used a frog just for a bet they would ask many questions in their head about the
wellbeing of the frog and what happened to the frog after it was used. People today are more cautious
about nature and animals and how both should be treated. In Twain's time it was not a huge concern
because of the time it was and because of other things going on around them. Their freedoms were
different in what types of things they had freedom in and what types of things were strictly outlawed. “
“In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I've been turning over
in my mind ever since. "Whenever you feel like criticizing any one," he told me, "just remember that
all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had."” (Fitzgerald, 1). This quote
from The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald represents the freedom of speech. The way this sentence
is stated implies that people could criticize each other whenever they wanted too. This is also true in

In the story “Master Frog”, Master Frog is born a frog but lives a normal life. This story takes place in ancient Vietnam. When Master Frog is a child his mom, Giang Dung, goes to the school and makes sure Master Frog gets education because he is very intelligent. After he is a grown frog, Master Frog goes to the palace and asks for Kien Tien’s hand in marriage. At first the king says, “We have carried this joke far enough, take this presumptuous creature out of my sight at once and execute him.”
We all know stories of frogs being tossed into boiling water - for example, a young couple being plunged into catastrophic debt by an
This laconic article, “Frogs With a Venomous Head Butt”, written by Sindya N. Bhanoo, is about the discovery of two venomous frog species that researchers made. The two species of frogs, Corythomantis greeningi and Aparasphenodon brunoi, also known as Greening's Frog and Bruno's casque-headed frog, are venomous frogs. While this did not surprise researchers, it was the method of delivering the poison that did. These two species of frogs deliver potent toxins through bony spines on their heads.
This animal report is about the Pig-nosed frog. In this report I will discuss the habitat, food chain, interesting facts, and human impact on the Pig-nosed frog.

The Species, Anura, or as known by its common name, the average frog plays a large role in maintaining various aspects of the environment and has a significant niche in ecosystems around the world. To children, frogs are associated with simply being the green critters that live by the water, make loud and strange croaking noises, and can jump incredibly high. This idea that children and much of society has perceived of the Species is somewhat accurate, but Anura it does reveal the entire truth as to what a frog truly is and the role it plays in our biologically
On October 10, 2015, I went to an ecology speech called “Why are the Frogs dying?” that hosted by Truett-McConnell College faculty Dr. Bob Bowen and Professor Tom Hennigan. As the speech’s title implied, the purpose of the speech was to share those two ecologists how they thought about the current environmental condition and the factors that influenced the mortality of the frogs. As a non-biology major student, I thought that the existence of the frog was not significant for the environment structure before I came to this speech. The frogs stood in an inferior position within the entire environment and it was constantly exploited by the predators.
The facts and science behind declining frog populations will be discussed shortly, but almost as interesting as the facts themselves is how the story was reported in the media, and how the reporting influenced the nation’s thinking on frogs.
The quote I selected was spoken by Nick Carraway's father: “‘Whenever you feel like criticizing any one,’ he told me, ‘just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had’” (Fitzgerald 1). At first, this quote seemed a bit out of place; it's a presentation of a moral from the narrator's father at the beginning at the story. Without context of the story the quote by itself is not very memorable, as it's just another saying to hold prejudiced thoughts. Where the quote really comes to life is through Nick and his narration of events and characters in the story of Gatsby.

Past halfway now, and getting fairly dark, he heard the croaking again. He figured it was the same frog, but it seemed to approaching. Or multiplying. Wetness bumped his leg. A croak right at his feet. Luckily, he had a small flashlight in his backpack. Turning it on he saw the alighted eyes of many frogs, on both wooden rails. Some were sitting still, others were jumping in different directions, off the bridge, toward him. He stood still, watching, breathless. He tried to take a picture quickly with his phone before they had all jumped away. The flash seemed to send them all jumping off the bridge. He heard some splashing into the stream, and it made him queasy.
Freedom of expression has been an on-going issue since the early 1900s. There have been many Supreme Court cases
