Nights and Dragons— From the memoir of author Abigail Prynne I could have given up, but I thought about my grandmother. She always told me that "people who believe that science is the answer to everything are missing out on everything else." With her words in mind, I searched some more. There were many facts that hinted that dragons may not be fictional. I noticed that cultures across the world all described dragons in similar ways. This was odd because they had no way to communicate with each other. I found dragons mentioned in more than just stories. They appeared in old legal papers, in the travel logs of Marco Polo, and in the Bible. I saw that the Chinese calendar uses a different animal each year. Dragons are included along with eleven real animals. I began to believe it was a real possibility that all of these people were talking about a creature that actually existed. The text discusses the Chinese calendar by writing, "Dragons are included along with eleven real animals." What is the main idea of the passage?

Answer:

The main idea of the text is that dragons may have existed in real life and that science is not enough to prove it or not.

Explanation:

The text shows that although science determines that dragons did not exist, many ancient cultures describe this animal together with the animals we know in real life. Furthermore, these cultures are different from each other, many of them show no similarities. Which proves that dragons may have been real animals, seen by ancient societies, but now extinct, or not.

Persuasive Speech
Introduction
A. Imagine going out to eat at a restaurant, and you read entrees like "fried human legs" and "human baby parmesan."
B. I believe the world would be a happier, healthier, more humane place if everyone were vegetarian -- you should become one!
C. Today I am going to enlighten you all about the animal cruelty involved with food processing that goes on behind closed doors, and the healthier lifestyle of being vegetarian.
[First let me tell you a little bit about what else your are eating when you choose to eat meat.]
Body
A. Every year billions of animals are raised and slaughtered for human consumption. In today’s factory farms animals are confined to extremely small spaces so farmers can concentrate on maximizing production.
1. This over crowding breeds disease, so the animals are fed antibiotics and sprayed with pesticides.
2. The animals are also fed growth hormones.
3. So, the chemicals, antibiotics and hormones are passed on to the consumers.
4. USDA fact sheet, bacterial contamination of animal products often causes illness and death. Salmonella poisoning can be fatal.
5. Time Magazine, bad chicken is responsible for at least 1,000 American deaths each year.
[Now, here are some more disturbing facts you should know about meat production.]
B. According to the Animal Protection Institute, in the U.S. alone, every year 41.8million beef cattle, 115 million pigs, and 8.785 billion chickens are slaughtered for human consumption. The animals endure much more.
1. Beef cattle called "downers" are prodded or dragged to the slaughterhouse, or left without food or water to die.
2. Pigs are stunned, hung upside down before their throats are cut and bled to death. If missed, they go to the scalding tank where they may be boiled alive.
3. Crowed, chickens peck each other to death. Instead of providing space farmers "debeak" them by cutting off their upper beak with a hot blade.
4. I would like to show you some photos taken inside a slaughterhouse.
[If animal cruelty is not enough to change your mind, then maybe your own health concerns will make a difference.]
C. Studies show meat-eaters are twice as likely to die from heat disease, and 60% more likely to die from cancer than vegetarians.
1. Meat consumption has been linked to many diseases, osteoporosis, diabetes, kidney disease, hypertension, and obesity.
2. Quoted by William Roberts, MD, editor and chief of The American Journal Of Cardiology, "When we kill animals to eat them, they end up killing us because their flesh, which contains cholesterol and saturated fat, was never intended for human beings, who are natural herbivores."
Conclusion
I hope that I have enlightened you all about the matters of vegetarianism, and I hope you all will make the right moral and health decisions as I have. Quote by Leonardo de Vinci, "I have, from an early age renounced eating meat. The time will come when we will look upon the murder of animals as they now look upon the murder of humans.

Long ships with good stout planks athwart—would fighters rig them to ride the barren sea, except for hunger? “I learned to keep my head in hardship—years of war and years at sea.

No man of woman born could work these wonders by his own craft, unless a god came into it with ease to turn him young or old at will.
