Throughout chapters 8 and 9 of Your Inner Fish, Neil Shubin discusses the relationship between humans and other organisms, specifically the connection regarding the sense of smell and vision. Fossils and the geological record are powerful sources of evidence about the past. By extracting DNA from a tissue of varying species, the history of any part of the body, such as smelling, can be deciphered. Similar to fish, amphibians, reptiles, mammals, and birds, the human’s sense of smell is housed in the skull. Like the other animals, there are one or more holes through which air is brought inside and a set of specialized tissues where chemicals in the air can interact with neurons.

One More to the Lake by E.B. White seemed to be factual and sentimental. In the first few paragraphs, I thought One More to the Lake was going to be sentimental. It seemed to be a reflection of the speakers camping trips with his father. This part reminded me of the camping trips I used to go on with my family. Like the speaker, we always went to the same campground a week after school ended.

In the Heart of the Sea, is a book where in every chapter the reader has the opportunity to learn more about the writer’s writing style, and chapter seven is not an exception. Here, Philbrick continues showing how is this whaling culture he has shown through the whole story and now he wants to let something clear and it is that for him, details really matter when it comes to writing a story.

I was happy to see this book mentioned for one of the assignment choices in our class, and the story brought back a very warm feeling.
The Whale Rider novel’s setting in the author’s note was New York, populated with dull and busy people, was inspired to write the vivid and imaginative setting in the novel, was unanticipated. New York, I believe, has many buildings, and dull and busy people, but, compared to the vivid and imaginative setting in the novel, displays as dispiriting. One reason for the novel’s setting to be vivid is, in view of it illustrating forests to send sweet perfumes upon the eastern winds and garlands of pohutukawa upon the eastern tides. Vivid, from a green rainforest, rippling cloak of many colors, the sky sometimes reflecting the prisms of a rainbow or southern aurora, and, the sea being ever-changing, shimmering, and seamless to the sky; being
