The reasons why it’s important to protect the sloths because, they serve as prey to their predators, to provide a place for organisms to live on their body, and one the rainforests are home to over half of the animals on Earth and two how rainforests give humans water, food, medicines, and help fight climate change.
The conservation status of Hoffman’s two-toed sloth is also listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List due to wide distribution, presumed large populations, occurrence in many protected areas, and its tolerance of habitat modification (Choloepus). However, sloths are in danger of having decreases in population due to ongoing deforestation, which cause habitat degradation and fragmentation, and hunting (Wainwright). The way to eliminate this danger is to prevent excessive deforestation and
Whether dreams have a positive or negative effect on people, some pursue the dream until it has been achieved or has faded away. All dreams have the ability to affect people and those around them. In the novel Of Mice and Men two men are journeying to their new job on a ranch. When they get to the ranch, they meet many people and learn some of their dreams.

The Munster’s clothing changes in a dramatic way from their show in 1964 to 2012In the Munsters Masquerade the characters would wear apparel that wasn’t unorthodox to mundane people. Their habiliments looked old and jaded. Albeit, in Mockingbird Lane the characters where wearing very elegant cloth compared to their old show.

This topic is very interesting for me because I lived in Mexico, I know how this “Cartels” work, and how they are distributed all over the country. I have lived in different parts of Mexico, some of them have been declared as the most dangerous cities in the world for certain time, like Ciudad Juarez or Sinaloa. “Of mice and men” and this article relate. In “Of Mice and Men” they are both looking for jobs, it’s similar right now in Mexico; people is looking for jobs and thanks to the lack of them, a lot of people join this Crime Organizations. I have always been curious in some aspects of this organizations like: how do they transport that amount of drugs all over the world?
In the poem, To a Mouse, Robert Burns states, “The best laid schemes of mice and men/ Go often askew/ And leave us nothing but grief and pain” (Burns). Burns wrote about an incident where he accidentally ruined a mouse’s home while plowing a field. During the early 1900s, the Great Depression, one of the biggest economic slumps in the history of the United States, was taking place. It resulted in many people being unemployed, lonely, and stuck in poverty.
“ Get away from her!” I pressed the pause button and lowered the remote to the mahogany coffee table. I slowly sipped my concoction of tea and honey, that supposedly was supposed to melt away my illness. I gripped my mug tightly at the thought of having to go back to school after a week of true bliss, well besides the fact that I was enterally dieing and could barely breath from the snot clogging my nasal passages. I sighed as I arose from my fort of blankets and pillows to pop in Alien 3, probably my least favorite from the quadrilogy, due to the lack of everything.
Loneliness is an emotion associated with depression felt by someone when they have no friends or have no one to talk to. It could cause one’s different behavior. In the novella, the author, John Steinbeck portray early people's life during 1930s. People suffering because of the loneliness for many different type of reasons.

What is said about dreams? In John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men, George Milton and Lennie Small share a dream about living on a ranch of their own where George could do the normal farm work and Lennie could tend the rabbits. Having this dream gives the characters a sense of hope and comfort, but not all dreams come true. It was during the 1930s, during the Great Depression, and two guys named George Milton and Lennie Small were walking to their new job, on a new ranch, in Salinas. George was a small, agile, witty man and Lennie was a big guy who was extremely strong but wasn’t very bright.
A dream can be defined as a strong desired goal or purpose that a person has. Many people have a dream that they want to accomplish in life, but never get the chance to do it. People are either too busy with work, a family, or they do not have the money to start their dream. Today people see others accomplish their dreams all the time on TV shows like The Voice, Master Chef, and American Idol. The novel Of Mice and Men, written by John Steinbeck shows that during the Great Depression dreams were desired, but very hard to attain.
In the Victorian age, children’s condition was a problem. treated as miniature adults, they were often required to work, were severely chastised, or were ignored. Exactly in that period Charles Dodgson under the pseudonym Lewis Carrol wrote “Alice’s Adventure in Wonderland”, a novel that tells of a girl named Alice falling through a rabbit hole into a fantasy world. It is first of all a children’s book as it has a child protagonist; however it appeals to adult readers with its advanced logical reasoning, witty puns and trenchant satire of Victorian society. So we can consider it as a drastic reaction against the impassive didacticism of British upbringing.
The importance of dreams in Of Mice and Men is to give the character purpose and hope. The novel takes place in the 1930’s during the Great Depression, and life was hard because of the tough economic conditions at this time. Dreams play an important role in the novel Of Mice and Men, because the characters need an escape from the loneliness and poverty that is their reality, and it gives them something to work towards. The characters use the idea of the American Dream to feed their desire to have a better life. The characters face many obstacles along their journey, and each obstacle will have a direct affect on shaping how the character develops as well as if they reach their dream.
Alice’s reaction to seeing a rabbit in a waistcoat in the book is described as this “Alice started to her feet, for it flashed across her mind that she had never before seen a rabbit with either a waistcoat-pocket, or a watch to take out of it, and burning with curiosity, she ran across the field after it” (Carroll, FIND THE PAGE NUMBER). Alice’s
To draw further scrutiny to Victorian conventions, Carroll incorporates several languages features and play. Employing the use of the useless educational system in Victorian society, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland depicts several moments within its tale where Alice attempts to conduct herself by reciting facts she learned in school to try and maintain a sense of her life prior to falling down the rabbit hole into the world of Wonderland. The first evidence of this occurring features in the first chapter succeeding her tumble. She begins to wonder how far she has fallen and attempts calculating the exact distance away from the centre of the Earth she is; “let me see: that would be four thousand miles down, I think […] but then I wonder what Latitude or Longitude I’ve got to?”
