. The other day, I went swimming at this one place called Crystal Hot Springs, and I lay in the sun for like 3 hours straight. The only thing that I gained is a whole lot more freckles. But that night when I climbed under my covers, a great smell came about. A smell that just whispers…Summer. I bet you know the smell; it is a mixture of salt, chlorine, grass, sunscreen, all those things associated with summer. Though these things might not smell good on their own, but when you blend them together on your skin… you get a smell that just opens up your lungs, charges your muscles, and awakens your senses. This smell makes you WANT to get out, makes you crave going on a run, sitting by the pool, it makes you want to smile. This smell is ultimately described as “sun”. It is what keeps the world warm. It is what makes water sparkle. It makes everything glow. It just makes the world beautiful. I love the sun.
To sum things up a little essay I would like to call Charles Darwin (I don't exactly believe in what Charles Darwin thought, though humanity may, but it was worth like 200 points, so I guess it is okay to go against my beliefs.. since it's for school and all. What I don't really understand is, why isn't it an option to write an essay on why you don't think that this is right? But that is just my opinion...):
Charles Darwin
A Gentle Revolutionary
Beliefs on evolution are vast and wide. Some believe that nothing can evolve, and that everything is how it was created by a great procreator. Others, that species evolve over time. And even some believe that there is a path or route that animals take with evolution in order to get to a point where they will be the best that they could be. Which are right and which are wrong? Well this essay isn’t about what I think, but it is about the life/ decisions of Charles Darwin.
Charles Darwin had dreams; not exactly his though. He wanted to become like his father, and his grandfather who were both physicians. When that didn’t work out, due to a disliking of the college courses, he wanted to become a naturalist. And a naturalist he was.
He set voyage on a ship called the Beagle. As it traveled in South America, he passed the Galapagos Islands. He came across a species of bird that was similar to one from a different region, with the only difference pertaining to that of the beak shape. He started asking himself questions on what he thought about evolution. He doubted one belief that said that the creator visited every little island, so he came up with his own thoughts and beliefs on the theory of evolution.
He believed that animals had arbitrary evolution patterns; that nature had no control on how the animals would evolve, or even if they would evolve.
Something cool about Charles Darwin is that he was buried next to Isaac Newton, because of his significant impact on science.
Some people didn’t like him, others did. But if you like Charles Darwin or not, you have to understand the role he played in figuring out the “correct” way evolution takes place!
