HitchHiker's Guide to the Galaxy 6/1

Author's Note: This is a response for the latest book that I am reading called the HitchHiker's Guide to the Galaxy.  I just read 30 more pages. Some feedback would be great.

Arthur and Ford just were thrown off a ship into space. The Vogons who have the third worst poetry in the universe tortured them with poetry and threw them into space. But right when you think the story is over "Boom" they find themselves in a "heart of gold ship. Brand new in the space catalog! This space ship can go into improbably drive, which lets you travel the Universe in seconds. The best part are the doors. It's there pleasure to open the door for you. Closing again with the knowledge of a job well done. Just listen for the "Hummmmmmmyummmmmmm ah! That's the sound it makes when it knows you are pleased.

The HitchHiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Author’s Note: This is a response to the new book I am reading The HitchHiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. If you could give some feedback that would be great.

The world at its end. While some aliens are trying to create a galactic highway. What do they do, they blow it up. Just before the earth is destroyed a man named Ford Prefect, who is not human and has been stuck on earth for the last fifteen year, and a human named Arthur Dent escape the planet. While hitchhike a ride on the Vogon’s ship Ford shows Arthur the hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy. Which is a outdated electronic book that you can learn about anything. Now Ford Prefect is working on the new version, because things can change over time.

Whale Shark

Author’s Note: This is a content essay for life science. I am working on introduction and vocabulary. If you could give me some feedback that would be great.

Have you ever wondered how big a whale shark really is? Not a blue whale a shark whale. Because of the whales size, diet, and location, it makes it one of the most interesting fish in the sea. 


First, imagine a school bus. A whale shark is the size of a average school bus. They are the biggest shark and fish in the sea, not including whales. 

Their natural habitat is all the way around the world, but just near the equator. Just imagine a band wrapped around the earth on top of the equator. That is where they live. Obviously they like the warm water temperature. Though they are carnivore, people that live down by the equator can have a safe ride.


They’re natural prey is plankton. All the whale shark has to do is open it’s mouth and suck in everything around it. It closes it’s jaws and it filters out all the water and it eats whatever is it it’s mouth. It's weird how such a big animal eats tiny little plankton.



These whale in a wide stretch of land and are gigantic.They are carnivorous but will only eat plankton, So there is no possible way it would eat a human, so you can have a safe ride.

Carnival


Last Friday was carnival night and it was a huge success. I ran mini golf and minute to win it. Well, I wasn’t there, but I was in the group that ran those two. The minute to win it was easy. We just had a golf balls to stack on top of each other and then the tissue box. For the golf course we got a little lazy, because we had already one golf course. We never talked about getting together and building another one. There I think we lacked teamwork and communication. But otherwise it turned out great.

Gorillas

Author’s Note:This is a content essay for life science. I am working on adding opinion or reaction, sentence structure, organization, and proof reading. If you could give me some feedback that would be great.

Have you ever thought about the theory that men evolved from monkeys. If you think about it, monkeys and gorillas aren’t very different from humans. Also Gorillas are smarter than most of the animals out there.

First, there are 3 species of gorilla. The east lowland gorillas, west African gorilla, and mountain gorilla. Gorillas aren’t really endangered except for the mountain gorilla. There aren’t any in zoos and there is only 673 in the wild. The other gorillas aren’t endangered at all. Gorillas mainly live in the middle parts of Africa. Gorillas have no predators except the possibility of a leopard.

Secondly, Gorillas are very close to being human. Well, besides that fact that they can’t talk to us. Besides the 2 species of chimpanzees Gorillas are the closes thing to a human. Gorillas have posoble thumbs just like us. They seem to be smart as a cave man, which isn’t as bad compare to most animals. Maybe 1000’s of years from now they will make a car just like how we started off. Maybe it’s the next creature to take humans place, there are just 1000’s of years behind us.

There are so many Gorillas out there, except for the mountain gorillas. They are getting smarter. So do you think that gorillas could be the next creature to take humans place or do you think that it is just another animal. Who knows.
