It's like lightning without the thunder. It's the “magic” that these microscopic creatures portray that make them so fascinating. How could they possibly so intriguing? At first glance, “The Lighting Bugs Are Back” by Anna Quindlen appears to be about how people compress the complexities of their lives into simplistic and nostalgic terms. But closer inspection reveals that the author is encouraging the reader to allow simple fragmented memories to trigger a wave of nostalgia.

Waiting for him at the beginning of the reeds was a small, green frog with light green spots. It had a bubbly personality and cheerfully greeted Iktomi as he arrived.
Some of the places that should be observed are rocky areas; especially between the rocks, under piles of leaves and in the muddy areas around ponds and lakes. It would be difficult to observe which frogs are swimming down at the bottom of the ponds and lakes because they would probably be frozen over. This is why this experiment would be the harder of the
Frog was a business owner, community helper, and made the world’s longest jump in 2004. Most of all he was a grandfather and a friend. His 112th grand tadpole was just born last week never to know the joy that her grandpa would have given her. Nice and kind are only a few words that describe the selflessness and loving character of Mr.Frog. On this morning as we mourn a lost friend, we realize Mr.Frog has done more for us than we can ever repay.

In accordance to the narrator, he was fortuitous, “uncommon lucky.” One afternoon a foreigner arrived in town and Jim, as usual, wanted to put up a wager against him; Jim bet that his frog, Dan’l, could trounce any frog in Calaveras County. The foreigner did not possess a frog, so, Jim went off to locate a frog for the stranger with the intent of winning, like he was accustomed to. While Jim was retrieving the frog and without his knowledge, the

I walked out of the door into the long hallway and began to walk around the asylum. I saw a large window
It was a late, around nine o’clock, on Saturday April 20, 2013 when a few of us from Bear River High School decided to go to Senor Frogs to celebrate Olivia’s birthday. Olivia and I use to be best friends back in elementary school that is until we transferred to high school and she destroyed my reputation over jealousy. I didn’t care much for celebrating her birthday, however, I had been in love with her boyfriend Tyler ever since I laid eyes on him freshman year. Nonetheless, Olivia made sure he never knew who I was.
"I was so terrified and horror-stricken at the sight, that I hid myself in a closet,
If given the chance, would people change any physical or personal traits about themselves? The genetics company “23andMe” was given a license on technology that allows humans to design a child to be everything they wish it to be, as designer genetics help to create the “perfect” infant. As scientist begin to use technology to unfold the hidden mysteries behind designer genetics, a scheme of genetically modified children is being made. Scientists are beginning to fathom which gene does what and ultimately what genes can be manipulated to meet the parent's desires, by using a donor, as this “meme”, of the idea of a perfect child, is starting to become highly coveted. In Susan Blackmore’s essay, “Strange Creatures”, she presents the ideas of a

When I went downstairs to ask Dylan, Christian, Omar, and Raymond what happened they didn’t remember either. When we went outside, we were meticulous because we did not know what to expect.
Therefore there must be a cause of the frog’s unusual behavior. This topic connects to Things Fall Apart when Okika mentions at the meeting “ My father used to say to me: “Whenever you see a toad jumping in broad daylight, then know that something is after its life.” When I saw you all pouring into this meeting from all the quarters of our clan so early in the morning, I knew that something was after our life. ’”(Achebe 203). The meeting represents the jumping that the toad performs during the daylight because the clansmen were discussing of how to face the challenging situation of the colonization of their tribe and their culture being taken away.
