As we all know, nocturnal animals are more active at night than daytime. These animals sleep or resting during daytime and hunt their food at night. They have special adaptation that helps them to survive at night.

Surprisingly, the most important sense for nocturnal animals is the sense of sight or their vision. As nocturnal animals relay in this sense only, their night vision is myopic or short range. The amphibians, nocturnal snakes, and nocturnal birds are all have good night vision. To collect more light, their eyes must be large with increase retinal surface, larger lens and wider pupils. Nocturnal animal’s retina contains photoreceptor nerve cells called rods and cones just like land vertebrates. The denser the cone cells, the sharper the vision in daylight. Diurnal animals are best example of it. In contrast, nocturnal animals have lots of rods which are effective to provide good night vision; however, they are color blind. In general, nocturnal animal’s retina is packed with rods. Many nocturnal animals rely on their sense of hearing. The ear reaches its highest degree of development and most species improved the outer ear or pinna. Gregarious nocturnal animals rely on sound to communicate with their group members. Many nocturnal animals find the sense of smell a very important one. They use it for locating food, danger or mate. This is sometimes describes as the first stage of chemical discrimination. And also smell is closely allied in sense of taste. The sense of taste is considered as the second stage. It has an ability to detect and respond to dissolved molecules and ions. Taste buds are group of sensory cells bearing short “taste” hairs that can detect the taste of the food. It is highly developed in mammals than the sense of
The movie, Loving, directed by Jeff Nichols is based on a true story about Richard, and Mildred Loving, an interracial couple fighting for their rights to stay married, and be able to raise their family in the state of Virginia where in the 1950’s it was illegal to be married to a race other than your own. Richard Loving grew up in a small town called Caroline County in the state of Virginia, where he met Mildred and knew that he would do anything to be able to call Mildred his wife. Richard proposed to Mildred on an estate of land he bought for them to raise a family on one day. Mildred agrees to marry him, but unfortunately, they are aware that in the state of Virginia it is illegal for them to get married because of their anti-miscegenation law. They agree that they will go to Washington, D.C., where they will be able to become legally married. In 1958, Richard and Mildred Loving became legally married in Washington, D.C. When they return home to the State of Virginia they are harassed by the Caroline County police and thrown into jail because they got married outside of the state that they reside in, which is illegal in Virginia. Richard is set out on bail, but Mildred is forced to stay in jail for several more days. Richard and Mildred’s case was presented before a judge to decide the ramifications of their actions.

It was almost night so we had to stop and find shelter. Or make something to last us one night. So we found a near by cave and stayed there but it was hard to sleep because the bats would never be quite. Probably because they are nocturnal. I 'm just glad that we didn 't find another bear. But we all know who would get to try and kill it first this time. We pulled out r sleeping bags and went to sleep on dirt. Not the most comfortable thing but we had to make do.

The fairytale The Beauty and the Beast is illustrated as a love story, however when looking deeper into Belle’s nature it seems to be that she is affected by several disorders throughout the film. In Beauty and the Beast, we see Disney once again sugarcoat personal problems in order to present a young audience with a one dimensional and simple female hero. Belle has clearly shown symptoms of Schizoid Personality Disorder, Stockholm Syndrome and Schizophrenia which can be treated by a biological therapeutic approach or a psychoactive drug approach and therapy.
The theme of Animal Farm is not difficult to follow with in the book. The allegory of history that was during the time of the books development, Orwell intended to criticize the communist regime he saw sweeping through Russia and spreading to Europe and even the United States. Though he agreed with many Marxist principles, Orwell was unable to accept the communist interpretation of socialism because he saw many similarities between the communist governments and the previous czarist regimes in old Russia. Communism, he thought, was inherently hypocritical.
Throughout the world, there are many artifacts ranging from Literature, Music, Social Media, Fashion, Toys, Technology, and many other ones. Every single one of these artifacts has a special meaning to them such as, the Statue of Liberty which represents freedom. The National Museum and the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum both contain many different types of artifacts that represent our history, as well as sharing a special meaning that can affect a person individually or even shape our society. "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" was a book written by John Boyne, which should be considered an artifact in the Holocaust Memorial Museum or the National Museum, because it represents the history of the Holocaust, as well as by symbolizing
Quentin Tarantino’s auteur is one that speaks of gore, racism, and certain shot techniques. Above all, the aspect that Tarantino is best known for in his long history of filmmaking is the fact that he only uses traditional, or analog, filmmaking techniques. In fact, Tarantino believes that digital cameras used to shoot film will lead to the eventual demise of filmmaking. His views and ideas of digital vs. traditional filmmaking and how his films could be impacted if they were shot in a digital format are explored.

The concept, destruction of identity, in Toni Morrison’s Beloved emphasizes the struggles that the characters had to endure to gain their freedom, constantly reminded of the devastation in the past. It reflects the negative impact that slavery had on everyone, destroying the identities of the characters not , just emotionally, but physically and spiritually as well. Sethe, Baby Suggs, and Paul D. were former slaves who lived in freedom, but were haunted by Beloved’s presence that brought upon suppressed memories and increased their self-alienation from the world. The history of slavery is acknowledged through the different character’s perspectives that tells the story of their dehumanized slave life to get a glimpse of their traumatizing experiences. Through characterization and comparison perspectives, Morrison in Beloved argues that slavery hinders the ability to progress as an individual, but time revitalizes the human spirit which ultimately gives identity to one’s self.
The novella that I read for summer reading was Animal Farm. I chose to read this book because of great reviews from both adults and peers. It was written by George Orwell and was first published in 1975. Because Orwell was an adherent of socialism, Animal Farm is a satire showing the rise and fall of Soviet Communism through animals on a farm. The animals overthrow the unkind farmer, Mr. Jones and establish their own community and government that mirrors a communist society.
Purpose. The purpose of the research is to extricate the differences between the content of nightmares and that of bad dreams. Researchers hypothesized that in comparison to bad dreams, nightmares would exhibit higher levels of emotionality, negative affect, death references, and aggression. Additionally, it was posited that higher levels of aggression would include greater degrees of aggressive intensity, number of aggressive acts, and victimization.
