2. They looked him over from tail to trunk. They marked the symmetrical form, the legs like
mighty pillars, the sloping back, the wide-apart intelligent eyes. His shoulders were an

thousand fights. His little red eyes looked out malignantly. He confidently expected that

1. Moving from water to land involved a major redesign of every aspect of life, including
breathing and reproduction. Nevertheless, a good number of thoroughgoing land animals
later turned around, abandoned their hard-earned terrestrial re-tooling, and returned to the
Water Seals have only gone part way back. They show us what the intermediates might have
been like, on the way to extreme cases such as whales and dugongs. Whales (including the
small whales we call dolphins) and dugongs, with their close cousins the manatees, ceased to
be land creatures altogether and reverted to the full marine habits of their remote ancestors.

They dont even come ashore to breed. They do, however, still breathe air, having never
developed anything equivalent to the gills of their earlier marine incarnation. Turtles went
back to the sea a very long time ago and, like all vertebrate returnees to the water, they
breathe air. However, they are, in one respect, less fully given back to the water than whales
or dugongs, for turtles still lay their eggs on beaches.
THESIS STATEMENT:

2. N.C. Wyeth was one of the most popular illustrators for books of young people. He made
some attractive pictures in color for Irvings Rip van Winkle. There are also ink and pen
sketches. These add much pleasure in reading the book. One sketch shows Rip, with his gun
over his shoulder, looking down at his dog as they start out on an expedition into the
Catskills. A humorous picture of the life of the Van Winkle family shows Rip leaving for a
hunting trip, while his wife seems to be storming at him with a dangerous-looking broom in
her hand. In the background is their dilapidated house; one of the shatters is sagging on a
hinge, and there are several broken panes in the windows. Another picture in lovely colors
shows the heights of the Catskills. Rip has climbed upto a rocky point and is looking out over
a panorama of forests, mountains and waterfalls. Probably you will not get too old to enjoy
these pictures. The appeal to the inclination to dust off the memory and to renew old
friendships with the characters in favorite stories.
