Abstract
The writer of this paper assesses Weiner's view of evolution and its importance to the well being of human society and human activities. Weiner emphasizes that evolution is happening everywhere, all the time and explains why man-made technology affects nearly all aspects of the environment. This paper also delves into the failure of the medical community to address and correct the issue of resistance to medicine, which could have disastrous effects.
From the Paper
"Antibiotics are an excellent example of a lack of understanding in most of the society, creating an economic burden and a serious health risk. Resistance to bacteria is growing and growing and companies throw away millions on new drugs that will become tolerated, too. The lack of knowledge causes people to take antibiotics at the drop of a hat and build resistances when their bodies could fight their illness itself.
The failure of the medical community to address and correct the issue of resistance to medicine could have disastrous effects."

From the Paper
"Birds belong to the Aves Classification in biology and live virtually anywhere in the world. They are amniotes (animals whose eggs are protected from drying out), a group that includes mammals, dinosaurs and reptiles). There are approximately 9,000 species, divided into 24 orders and 146 families (which include, for example, Anseriformes (ducks), apodiformes, caprimulgiformes, charadriiformes, ciconiformes, columbiformes, coraciiformes, cucliformes, falconiformes, galliformes, gaviiformes, and so on). Birds are warm-blooded vertebrate animals that are covered with feathers, have wings, a beak, and no teeth. Feathers are actually modified scales. (Enchanted 1)"

Abstract
This paper explains that, in "Bird Raptures", the nightingale theme, which carries through another Rossetti poem, shows that Rossetti not only loved the freedom imagery attached to birds but also loved the contrasts between various birds and between birds and humans. The author points out that, in "A Hope Carol", Rossetti relates a rather simplistic and universal desire to connect to nature and to be alert to the sounds of nature so that she might know where the bird is and when the song is being sung. The paper concludes that birds have more than feathers and a beak; they have faces and with their lovely songs, reach into people's hearts especially, the heart of Victorian poet Christina Rossetti.

From the Paper
"How and why would all that luscious-sounding fruit harm the two maidens? "Who knows what soil they fed their hungry thirsty roots?" Laura wondered. Who knows, the reader conjectures, what the strange little men really had in mind beyond just the tempting fruit. Roots that are both "hungry" and "thirsty" are roots that are in immediate need of something that may be unhealthy. But Lizzie was less prone to temptation than Laura; she covered her eyes so she couldn't even see the "little men"; one was hauling a basket, one a golden dish, but while Laura was curious, Lizzie was frightened, and "thrust a dimpled finger in each ear," shut her eyes and ran."

Abstract
The paper reveals that the legend or myth of the Loch Ness Monster originated in Inverness, Scotland. The earliest findings, according to Ginger Groves, were depicted in the 1st century by Romans at the Scottish Highlands.

"In the early 30s, an English surgeon, Kenneth Wilson, supposedly took photos of the beast during the JFK controversy and that flight swiveled into the surgeon's photo. Since the scare and craze begin to twirl even further, a newspaper company decided to hire an investigator for the purpose of instigating the Loch Ness Monster to help boost their ratings. The investigator, Mamaduke Wethrell didn't find the Loch Ness Monster but found some gigantic footprints on the shores of Loch Ness."

Abstract
This paper is a story about the mound builders of Pueblo Alto in the American Southwest. The writer draws on historical facts and details to paint a picture of tribal life and custom around a young man and his family. After an arson attack by a hostile tribe, his grandfather is burned so severely that there is no chance that he will recover and the young man sets out to the turquoise mines to bring back a stone to bury with his grandfather. Details such as the use of bird beaks and claws to abrade turquoise enhance the story. This paper contains MLA-style footnotes but does not include a works cited page.
From the Paper
"Ahote immediately knew that something terrible must be happening. The smoke was too thick and there was too much of it for it to be from a controlled fire. As he raced towards the fire his mind was spinning. He had run the trail from the river back to the pueblo so many times he could almost do it with his eyes closed. However, today was different. Ahote remembered that there had been a conflict a few days before with a hostile neighboring tribe and his mind filled with worry as he realized that this fire was probably intentionally set to harm people from his tribe. As he came to this recognition he felt a sharp pain radiating into his lower leg."
