Penguins are unique (special or different) animals. There are 17 species of penguins. They are aquatic (related to water), flightless birds living throughout the world although most of them are found in the Southern hemisphere and especially in Antarctica. Most penguins can be found in these countries: New Zealand, Australia, Chile, Argentina, and South Africa. Penguins spend about half their time in water and the other half on land.
They do not have wings like other birds. Penguins have flippers that they use to swim. Their black and white color serves as camouflage (hide or disguise themselves/merge with nature) as they swim under water. The white reflects and the black cannot be seen by predators. Emperor Penguins are the tallest species,standing nearly 4 feet tall. The smallest is the Little Blue Penguin, which is only about 16 inches.
Most penguins feed on krill, fish, squid and other forms of sea life that they catch while swimming underwater.

Penguin parents care for their young for several months until the chicks are strong enough to hunt for food on their own. These creatures are unique and fun to observe and learn about.

The Flea

by John Donne (excerpt)

Mark but this flea, and mark in this,
How little that which thou deniest me is;
Me it sucked first, and now sucks thee,
And in this flea our two bloods mingled be;
Thou know'st that this cannot be said
A sin, or shame, or loss of maidenhead;
Yet this enjoys before it woo,
And pampered swells with one blood made of two;
And this, alas, is more than we would do.

Best of all, perhaps, he loved to lie near the fire, hind legs crouched under him, fore legs stretched out in front, head raised, and eyes blinking dreamily at the flames. Sometimes he thought of Judge Miller's big house in the sun-kissed Santa Clara Valley, and of the cement swimming-tank, and Ysabel, the Mexican hairless, and Toots, the Japanese pug; but oftener he remembered the man in the red sweater, the death of Curly, the great fight with Spitz, and the good things he had eaten or would like to eat. He was not homesick. The Sunland was very dim and distant, and such memories had no power over him. —The Call of the Wild, Jack London Which quotation is an example of direct characterization? "He was not homesick." "He remembered the man in the red sweater." "Sometimes he thought of Judge Miller's big house." "The Sunland was very dim and distant."

Read the excerpt from act 2, scene 2, of The Tragedy of Julius Caesar and the background information on the allusion it contains.

Excerpt:

[DECIUS.] It was a vision fair and fortunate.
Your statue spouting blood in many pipes,
In which so many smiling Romans bathed,
Signifies that from you great Rome shall suck
Reviving blood, and that great men shall press
For tinctures, stains, relics, and cognizance.
This by Calpurnia's dream is signified.

Background information:

In medieval times, it was customary to dip handkerchiefs into the blood of martyrs and other great people. Doing so turned the handkerchiefs into relics for worship or inspiration.

Why does Decius suggest that "smiling Romans” dipping in the spouts of blood is a good thing?

to flatter Caesar and make sure he will go to the Capitol
to imply that Calpurnia wishes to harm Caesar
to warn Caesar of the plot against him
to explain that Calpurnia is ill and going to die
