1. The novel I read was "Raptor Red" by Robert T. Bakker. Published by
Simon &
Schuster, in 1995. Rapotor Red is a female raptor struggling to survive in a kill or be
killed world on her own after losing her mate.
2. The setting changes all throughout the book as Raptor Red migrates from one
place to another. In somesettings she is in thick rich mossy forests looking for plump
Iguanadons to eat, to other desert like lands where the sun is so hot she must sleep
through the midday and hunt late afternoon when the heat is bearable. Setting is a very
important because the authour must reconstruct the crustacoius period setting and all the
vegitation ,lust forests, muddy salt flats, sandy beaches, and dry temperate valleys. These
settings are all very vital to the book because it creates the prehistoric atmosphere and
brutal planet these giants once inhabited. One of the key elements to the book to make it
more realistic is how the author describes in detail all the other animals that Raptor Red
hunts and runs into in the book. The author puts great detail in how Raptor
Red stalks her
prey and kills her victims. Once you start reading this book and you see how intelligent raptors once were you really can't decipher Raptor Red's thinking to a modern day human hunter.
3. This book follows the life of Raptor Red and all the troubles a raptor would face
in it's life from good times to bad. The book starts off with Raptor Red hunting an
Ultrasaurus with her mate. They carefully select the dinosaur they will single out to kill.
They look for faults in their prey, like injuries, preoccupation with someting elese,
stragglers who want to rest for a while, just about anything to help assure a safe victory
without any injuries to themselves. Raptor Red and her mate single out an
Ultrasaurus
who is preoccupied with trying to mate rather than pay any attention to the fact that it
was being stalked by predators. Raptor Red and the mate kill the Ultrasaurus on a mud
flat, and the Ultrasaurus falls on it's knees and dies. While Raptor Red and her mate are
gorging on the larg animal her mate detects a scent of another kind of smalled raptors in
the area that want some of the kill. Raptor Reds mate lets out a fierce roar
While she might think that her plans are working, they only lead her down a path of destruction. She lands in a boarding house, when child services find her, she goes to jail, becomes pregnant by a man who she believed was rich. Also she becomes sentenced to 15 years in prison, over a street fight with a former friend she double crossed. In the end, she is still serving time and was freed by the warden to go to her mother’s funeral. To only discover that her two sisters were adopted by the man she once loved, her sister is with the man who impregnated her, and the younger sister has become just like her. She wants to warn her sister, but she realizes if she is just like her there is no use in giving her advice. She just decides that her sister must figure it out by

This is very simular to the traditional novels where they have to go on a quest to find certain objects or defeat certain enemies, the only difference is who we are reading it from and the struggles to achieve this even if it takes a long time to prepare for the evil. With the balance of traditional and modern she was able to create a more deceptive antagonist who we all could relate to and communicate with at least one point in our lifetime.

In our society and culture, we are presented with many ethical controversies, all of which seem impossible to resolve. One of the most considerable debates in today's world is abortion. A person's value system and religious belief often influence their view on this complex situation. Since there are many strong arguments made for abortion and many against it, it becomes almost impossible to resolve. Among the many disagreements, some of the most common dealt with issues such as the right to live which makes abortion morally same as murder, along with a women having reproductive rights and the different circumstances that justify having an abortion such as abortion due to rape. In this paper we will briefly explore the pros and cons of these issues.
the womb, the doctor uses the procedure called manual vacuum aspiration or dilation and evacuation known as D&E. Both procedures use suction to empty the womb, M.V.A known as manual vacuum aspiration uses a handhold tool, while D&E is used with a suction machine and other tools. For the M.V.A procedure the latest you can wait is around twelve weeks of pregnancy. The cut off for D&E is before the end of thirteen week of your pregnancy.(“What is surgical abortion?”). Surgical abortion is nearly one hundred percent effective. In conclusion medical abortion is another procedure that occurs within a certain amount of time.
Abortion is the termination of a human pregnancy that does not end in birth of a child. There are two types of abortion-medical abortion and surgical abortion. Medical abortion can be done before 49 days of pregnancy by using pharmaceutical drugs. Surgical abortion takes place by using surgical instruments between 6-14 weeks of pregnancy. Both methods are safe. It depends on the size of fetus and week of pregnancy. An abortion, which is the removal of a fetus from a woman’s body, should be allowed because of women’ s freedom, life opportunities and victim protection.

So what is abortion? Abortion is when you end the birth of your child before a certain amount of weeks (24-weeks).There are many types of abortion such as the medical abortion. In order to have a medical abortion the woman must be up to 9 weeks of pregnancy to have the process done, it must be done by a medical professional either at a hospital or an abortion clinic . Another type of abortion is surgical, to have this process done the woman would have to be up to 15 weeks pregnant. Abortion is actually legal up to 24 weeks of pregnancy. (BPAS, what is aborton?)
Women may have an abortion for a variety of reasons, but in general they choose abortion because a pregnancy at that time is in some way wrong for them. “Abortion is the removal of a fetus from the uterus before it is mature enough to live on its own” (Kuechler 1996). When this happens spontaneously we call it a miscarriage. Induced abortion is brought about deliberately by a medical procedure that ends pregnancy. Legal abortion, carried out by trained medical practitioners, is one of the most common and safest surgical procedures. “About 1.5 million American women choose to have induced abortions each year. Less than 1% of all abortion patients experience a major complication associated with the procedure” (Kuechler 1996).
The novel explores gender roles through the characters of Mrs. Ramsay, Mr. Ramsay, and Lily. Each of these characters embodies different views in regards to gender roles. The readers are taken into their minds and thoughts and are allowed to see what each character views is the role of his/her gender.
