A Bird’s Metamorphosis Glamodous the god who was in charge of making the animals metamorphose into beautiful creatures was in need of new jewels for his upcoming arranged marriage for his daughter Penguinity. Glamodous had no luck into finding the types of jewels Penguinity wanted he began to gather around all the animals around his luxurious palace to have a contest into finding the perfect husband for his beloved daughter. Birds came and went. One of the leaders of the bird pact came and confessed to him that with his bravery he would be able to find all the jewels that ever existed. With so much courage and assurance Glamodous was convinced that he would be the man for his daughter. He sent him off to his mission into seeking his jewels. Glamodous told him that his name would be Brave and if he came back he would allow him to marry his daughter and would allow him to be a terrestrial/aquatic type of animal. With so much at stake Brave proclaimed he was ready for the prize. As he flew all over to see any shiny objects from up above he saw nothing. He flew day and night his wings got tired after a few days he decided to land into the sand of a deserted island dug around to see if any jewels would shine through the sand grains. Finding only pearls he was happy and ready to return back to the Glamodous palace. When he returned with the pearls Glamodous was not very impressed neither was Pengunity, Glamodous told him that the jewels were not shiny enough neither were they worthy of his daughter. He kept his word for he gave him the ability to be able to swim, but told him he was not the right one for his daughter. Brave with much disappointment left his palace. He told the pact that Glamodous was a fool for not seeing he was the best she could ever get. When the other birds heard what their leader said they were excited to be the ones to go try again. The ugliest, weakest one of the birds went on his way to Glamodous’ palace on his way there he found Penguinity, he day dreamed that he would be the one Penguinity would marry. She looked at him and she with much disgust looked away rushing her way off to her way. When the ugly, weak bird got to the palace.
Glamodous looked at him with disappointment. He laughed and told him to find something else to dream about. After inspecting his ugly black body he told him there was no way he would be able to find any pretty jewels. Glamodous named him Fugly and told him to get out of his sight.

But what more do we know about these adorable animals outside of the movie…
Our Iceberg Is Melting Our Iceberg Is Melting is a fable written by John Kotter about a group of penguins dealing with changes to their home. The penguins are forced to adjust to the change of their ice melting away or face certain doom. This book is an metaphor for organizational change, also for how leaders and managers around the world should be aware of change, deal with change, and accept change. Mr. Spencer Johnson M.D., who wrote books about change himself including Who Moved My Cheese…
are losing their homes and becoming endangered. African penguins haven been sliding down into extinction since industrial fishing. My first hypothesis is global warming is the cause to the extinction of the jackass penguin. Along with that my second hypothesis is the jackass penguin is vulnerable more so than endangered. The scientific name of the jackass penguin is the spheniscus demersus. The physical characteristics of the african penguin are the black strip on its back, and unique patterns of…
have is with penguins or anything that is similar in appearance or texture. It seems that one of the reasons for why I dislike penguins is because I realize the threats associated with some varieties of penguins and because I am not knowledgeable enough to distinguish between those that are venomous or those that are not I would rather err on the side of safety and avoid them altogether. This approach is probably most closely related to cognitive psychology. The perception that penguins can cause harm…
when he says, “This bird has come to me for asylum, it is my duty to protect it.”(194) By not apprehending to the hawk’s request, the king obeyed the rule of being a king and protected the dove, of which is under his rule. When a royal subject becomes the official king, he is responsible for every aspect of life under his command.

they don’t eat organic locally produced goods they will become nutrient-deprived. This is completely false, nutrients can be consumed from many different kinds of products, just because that certain produce you are eating doesn’t have its full potential nutrients it doesn’t mean you are going to become nutrient deprived. People think that just because the produce lost a few nutrients on the trip to their location it’s suddenly going to become majorly less healthy and cause nutrient-deprivation, this…

warming is the rise in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere, caused mainly due to increasing concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. These greenhouse gases are mostly produced as a result of human activity. It has lately become a serious issue, which threatens to disrupt the basic balance of the environment and cause large-scale destruction. There should be no question on who’s effected by the outcome. Humans, animals, plants, climate, land... you name it and it will…
seem (Piper 34). With that point, let us not forget the 2006 Warner Bros. film Happy Feet. Mumbles, an adolescent penguin and protagonist of the film, is not born like the other penguins in his clan; he cannot sing. In spite of this, Mumbles discovers his love and talent for dance. Even Mumbles’ father, Memphis, begs Mumbles to at least pretend to be like the other singing penguins. In protest, Mumbles states, “Don’t ask me to change, Pa. I can’t” (Happy Feet). However, many are blind to the fact…
The 1930's were a decade of great change politically, economically, and socially. The Great Depression and the Dust Bowl wore raw the nerves of the people, and our true strength was shown. From it arose John Steinbeck, a storyteller of the Okies and their hardships. His books, especially The Grapes of Wrath, are reflections of what really went on in the 1930's. John Steinbeck did not write about what he had previously read, he instead wrote what he experienced through his travels with the migrant…
