Darwin’s theory of natural selection is the idea of evolution it is the way animals have formed from natural selection a mutation of an animal is the way that he predicted that creatures have mutant off springs that benefit there lifestyles such as a parrot on one island has a shorter beak than the other this because of progressive mutation over millions of years have led to the parrot on the first island to have a smaller beak and on the second to have a longer beak this is the process of evolution. This is different to Lamarck’s theory of evolution as he had based his idea on the past off spring had to adapt to the environment. So he would have proposed that a horse had adapted in the Savannah to not being able to reach the leaves high up in the trees having stretched the neck would be longer and over time it would progressively turn into a giraffe. This difference between these two theories is that Lamarck suggested that a certain action during an organisms live time has caused it to change in the next while Darwin had suggested that mutations progressively over millions of years have caused animals to change.

How do organisms evolve?

• the excitement built up as I had approached the airport eager to see my grandmother and to have fun in this fantastic trip around Italy first my grandmother had suggested that we should go and see Punta Rossa hotel as amazing hotel near the Amalfie coast. Me and my dad went with out my grandma but  it would still be fun . We ran directly into the room. And saw a beautiful view scouring the medeteranian sea . I was eager to go jump in over the moon how fun this trip would be. We sat down had a lunch quinine . We ran down into a salt filled pool with a diving board ( my favourite). We jumped around and splashed about as a family searching the depths of the sea and seeing the wild variety of fish and sea creatures. We then came back to the hotel for lunch we had delicious food that sat in our stomach you go to sleep and  eager to start the next day. You would then take a golf cart and drive up and down the hotel premises pretending you were a formula one driver going up and down the hills enjoying the comfort of the sun hitting your head

You’d never seen that face before but it felt as you had seen it a thousand times you walk up to her confusion in your eves and despair. It felt as you had met a thousand times and this had to be the first. You build the courage to talk to her you say hi she stairs back looking into your soul. As if she felt the same way as you’re. She starts to walk away seeming angry with you seeming to do something that you do not remember she starts to run and you start to chase her wanting to as her a thousabd questions. But she had gone into thin air you wonder to yourself why this has happened and where you are . You look to the sun as you catch glimpse of her sitting on the roof you slowly run up the stairs and try to go and speak to her. She starts crieng looking into your eyes as you were the cause of her pain and suffering you go to comfort her asking if she is alright in riffs all she turns her head . You try and talk to her again she responds with why have you done this to me . Still ablivious of what you have done to make her cry . She falls into your arms and starts weeping but clue less you walk away on the roof top feeling a sense of betrayal and can’t confusion about something you havnt done . You jump up with a shudder realising you are still in your bed. Awaken by the music outside your mum reminds you that you are going to be late for school so you rush out of bed get your cloths on brush your teeth and leave the house with a price of toast in your mouth running for the bus and eager to get of the school and not be late so you . Get of the bus and run to school even though it is ten stops away you run to the end of the road with the school in your sight and the gate about to close and manage to get though the gates ready and eager to start your day.

1. Wake up
2. Eat breakfast
3. brush my teeth
4. Have a shower
5. Get ready

when I woke up in the morning the curtains were drawn and my light is on I can see the bright light shining in my face dreading to get up.

As I rush to the living room I can smell the scent of breakfast on the table eager to eat it.

i then approach the bathroom I pick up my toothbrush I can feel the small bristles brushing against my gums as they clean

i then go over to the shower and enter I can hear the light potter patter of the shower tricle against my back

the morning brought the brought light outside as we’ll as the bright light above as well gleaming across the room. The living room smelt like breakfast fresh wheat that could of came fresh this morning

the morning brought the dim light over your head you could hear birds outside the window whispering birds out the windows. When you enter the living room you could smell the sweet cent of fresh wheat attracting you to dig in. As you brush your teeth you can feel the sharp little bristles pricking your teeth. The shower brings light potter patter against your back like thousands of tears. As I went walk down the road you smell the cent of pollution filling your lungs but still eager to start your day.

Haig seemed like a ruthless commander many of the sources suggest that he was ruthless because of his state of mind which clearly stated that he only cared about winning the war than all of his soldiers. After countless attacks during the battle of the Somme, he had not successfully had a raid throughout the whole battle til the November rains. The soldiers that died in that war was a huge impact on our nation 200,000 people is way to much to handle.

It was not only the soldiers that thought that Haig was only focused on the war Winston Churchill in his personal memos talked about Haig not being conscious of the attacks he was making on the Germans. Haig ordered squadron after squadron to be brought into battle. The Germans artillery was very heavy and the English could not move there artillery up to the trench lines till later on in the war. Since most of the English were camped up in the middle of no mans land the English were an easy target. Haig being the butcher that he was constantly commanded the English to keep on  challenging them even though their numbers were decreasing much faster than the Germans. Haig called in for much more back up bringing New Zealand, Australia and Canada into the fight. One of the Canadian raids which were supposedly a sneak attack were decimate as the Germans got their before they had time to get into position. His mind set was very curious and it took him two years to finally defeat the Germans even though they should have won the battle before it even began.

Haigs carelessness leads me to think that he was a butcher he seemed completely contuos of his attacks but losing men did not seem to make him change his mind after at least 100,000 Brits were dead. These facts lead me to think that Haig was a butcher for his stupidness  and carelessness about all of the soldiers that died for a cause which could have easily be fixed.

I fear too early, for my mind misgives Some consequence yet hanging in the stars Shall bitterly begin his fearful date With this night’s revels,and expire the term of a despised life closed in my breast By some vile forfeit of untimely death.But he that hath the steerage of my course, Direct my sail. On, lusty gentlemen.

I fear that we may get there to early for my mind thinks that this party will not end well some thing that could be the end of me. God may lead me he can direct me wherever it may be. Let us go on.
