Battle Of The Apes

Gorillas and chimpanzees are similar on all topics but not completely the same. You’ll learn from this essay how they are similar or different. 

Gorillas and chimpanzees are very different but similar in some ways on physical appearance. Gorillas are 5 ft 5 in-5 ft 9 in tall and 310-440 pounds. Chimpanzees weight 90-115 pounds and are 3-4 feet tall. Gorillas are big, strong and pretty flexible. Chimpanzee’s are small, long limbed and very flexible. They both have black fur and have the same facial appearance. However, chimpanzees tend to be more of a ground animal compared to gorillas. Gorillas and chimpanzees get around by knuckle walking. Which is using your hands and legs to move. But, gorillas are known as vicious apes. But gorillas hardly ever attack. Instead they make noise. Chimpanzees are very aggressive. Usually male adults. They are known to be very territorial and kill other chimpanzees. They might also kill lesser species of primates and use there “corpse” (Lets not go into gruesome detail) as a social tool.

Gorilla’s and chimpanzee’s habitat are very alike. Due to the loss of most of the habitat they lived in they now mostly live together. They live in tropical rain forest in the clearings and low-level land or swamps. However, Chimpanzees don’t usually like open land.

The gorilla’s and chimpanzee’s diet are alike too. They both are both herbivores and like to eat fruit, leaves, tree bark and flowers. But they also like to eat ants and termites. But they don’t drink water mostly. Because they get the water they need from there diet.

See, They have some differences and similarity. But they are both at the top of the primates. 

Do Clothes Make The Person? Essay

In some cases, Clothes do matter. But sometimes people are stereo-type. Like if you see somebody with a plaid shirt with ragged jeans and big steel toe boots. You probably think the person is a red neck. Which sometimes is wrong. But on the the other side if you see a poor person you’ll see them wearing, Whatever they can get.

 Some people use their clothes to show who they are. That’s what I mainly do. Or wear clothes of a hobby or something. Like baseball. People shouldn’t really care about clothes. But, I don’t blame society today. With all these “Cool” hip hop stars wearing pants down to they’re ankles and the most expensive shirt they didn’t really need. Top that off with fifty gold chains around they’re neck and a thousand dollar Nike shoes. I don’t buy into this stuff. Or they’re bad music. Popular clothes are like a cycle. Taylor Swift shoots a commercial for Walmart brand clothes. (Which would never happen) Everyone buys that type of clothes, Then there you go. You’ve just made Taylor Swift richer. But the worse thing is the fact that Twilight is the popular thing. So everybody is buying those clothes. Which is bad because Twilight is not a good movie. So if your one of those “Buy what the cool kids wear” your brain washed. But that doesn’t annoy me so much. What does is when kids try to be cool and wear they’re hat sideways with a skateboarding shirt. (Which they don’t even skateboard) and etc. That bugs me. Especially in Maine! A solution? I have no clue. We can’t take away the “cool” musical talent of today. Because then the people would go crazy. Everyone should not buy anything or not do anything involving Taylor Swift, Twilight, Miley Cyrus and any of them. But that won’t happen because nobody could live without them. Good job entertainment. You have ruined people.

My Friend's House

When my parents drive all the way the long dirt road, we finally get there. I see the outside of his yellow house. I look to the side and see his chicken coop shed thing. I walk up to his house and knock on the door and wait for someone to open it. Usually Ian’s mom opens there door. I walk in, Take my shoes off and go down stairs.

Their house was set up unusually. They have the kitchen and dining room on the top Where Ian’s mom spends most of her time, And down stairs was Ian’s and His older brother’s room. The room next to it was Ians sister’s room. Then there was the Living room. Where no adult was ever there. The floor was concrete with a carpet over it. In the middle was a chair that was spherical and could spin. In front of the chair was a television and around the back there was more scattered chairs.

 Down stairs was like the secret bat cave for Batman. In Ian’s room is where we spent most of the time there. Besides outdoors. In Ian’s room we would played is Playstation two. Game we played were The Sims 2 There television was on top of a stand. The walls were painted red at the top, a black and white race car stripe in the middle and blue on the bottom. There was two beds. That were adjacent from each other. Near the beds there was energy drink cans and candy wrappers. In the middle of the beds, on the wall was a shelf. This shelf had everything, Games, Music CDs, and more. Above there beds they have small shelves. Where they have more miscellaneous things that couldn’t fit on the normal shelf. 

After we were done playing Playstation we would go outside. We go upstairs and open the back door, go outside and end up on his porch. His porch wasn’t fancy or anything. Its just a dark brown porch. Ian owned a lot of acres. I don’t have the exact number though. Out in his backyard there was a trampoline way to the left. it was the basic trampoline with blue siding. If we don’t use the trampoline we go farther back to pond. It looked polluted and there was different types of plants all around it. We would just see if there were fish or frogs. 

Once we see if there were frogs we would head back and it would usually be night time by now so if it was like his birthday or he just invited a lot of friends we would play manhunt. If you don’t know what manhunt is, it’s pretty much like hide and go seek only you have to get to a base. It was a pretty good place for manhunt because it was big. But the bad part is it was mostly field. 

If it was just me and him there we would just play more Playstation, go on the computer or go to bed. I have a cot. The next day we would do that all over again until my mom or dad came. Then I would leave and wait to do it next weekend.
