From the beginning of The Sixth Extinction by Elizabeth Kolbert we can see a very different style of writing from what we previously encountered in Encounters with the Archdruid. The Story is told in a more colorful and up beat way. As we begin the book the author talks about humans and their destructive nature on the planet. I really enjoyed how Kolbert depicted as if she was telling the history of any other creatures. When she describes how man is pollution of the planet she did in a way that to me painted the picture of an animal that was destructive in nature, as If the best thing for earth and all of its inhabitants would be the removal of this plague.
Why do so many people not believe in sensational subjects such as bigfoot? Because such a huge animal like that would surely at least leave some evidence behind, and then there's the fact that there can't just be one bigfoot or mythical creature everyone claims to see. There would theoretically have to be more than one. Although we all might like to believe in the possibility of such creatures, why would you actively believe that there are mythical beings out there without proof? Although there are some people that are quite naive and will easily believe such things without any proof whatsoever.

The making of film, or the concept of it, has been around since the beginning of the 18th century. The lens of the camera has captured some of the most beautiful things, but also the most prejudice. Stereotypes of races, ethnicities, and gender have always been around but were widely considered acceptable in films of that era. Almost as long as there have been people filming, there have been people fighting for equality to be presented on the big screen. Danez Smith is one of these modern fighters in his free verse poem “Dinosaurs in the Hood.”

A keystone species is an organism that enhances the habitat and helps all species around them thrive and evolve. In class we examined the wolves of yellowstone and their reintroduction into the habitat. This re-introductory helped organisms around them by reducing species that have dominated the habitat like the deer and this helped plant life and animal life thrive and created a richer environment. The wolves are the keystone species of their environment being the organism enhancing biotic and abiotic factors in yellowstone and these kinds of keystone species are prevalent in many habitats and are all crucial to their environments. In the african savanna the major keystone species is the african elephant and in many coral reefs in shark bay
