Plastic Bags : Think Twice Almost every store puts its products into plastic bags. They are easy, convenient, strong and lightweight. They are also terrible for the environment. Plastic bags are typically used for only a few hours—may be even a few minutes, However, it can take hundreds of years for them to break down in a landfill. When plastic bags end up in the wild, they can be very dangerous to animals, who might eat the bags or get tangled up in them. ‘The next time you go shopping, be sure to bring reusable bags with you.

It was one of the last places of Earth to be settled by humans. ‘Today, New Zealand is home to almost five million people. That may sound like a lot. But it’s actually not compared to other countries with the same amount of land. New Zealand has few people. But it has many sheep—just over 30 million of them. That means there are about 7 sheep for every 1 person. That may sound strange. But it makes sense.

Not only is Ariel, the little mermaid, demonstrating original thought (something that many seem to think she is lacking), but also she is rebelling against her speciesist father. When Ariel expresses her love for the human prince, King Trident is furious. When Ariel points out angrily that he does not understand her, or even know the man whom she loves, Trident retorts, “Know him? I don't need to know him! He’s a human!” In a very real way Disney is encouraging children to question preconceived ideas that we may have against a certain group. Disney also teaches children to pursue what they love. We see that Ariel’s love for Prince Eric is more important than all else. in turning to the Sea Witch, Ursula, for help, Ariel makes a mistake, but no true hero or heroine is flawless. Ariel puts herself, her family, and all men folk in danger, but we see that with the help of her prince, she is able to put everything right. At the end of the film, when Ursula has forced King Trident to sacrifice his kingdom for his caughter's soul, the Sea Witch rises out.of the water, gigantic and terrifying, wearing the king’s crown and holding his magic trident. She laughs evilly and declares that she is the ruler of all mermen and women. “So much for true love” she screams victoriously. Eric, however, succeeds in piloting the prow of his ship straight through her belly, vanquishing her. The moral here is that while we all make mistakes, what is truly important is, how we right the wrongs we may do to cthers. 41. The author's attitude towards The Little Mermaid is primarily one of a. appreciation b. frustration c. — stoicism d. ambivalence 42. Ursula’s quote “So much for true love” primarily suggests a. the marriage was unacceptable to her b. she was mocking true love c, she is speciesist 4. Trident was her true love 7113-A 1443.
