The Unabridged Tale of One Biology Class Hopelessly Lost and Against all Odds in the Uncharted Pentucket Territory
Good Sirs and Madams,
In our biology class, we went out of the civilized world and journeyed into a Land Lost of Time. This sector that our class explored was, as we soon discovered, a watering hole of sorts, filled with strange specimen and dangerous traps. On this heroic quest for knowledge we began to learn about ecology and the flow of energy throughout the animals and plants. For example, a plant produces eneregy from the sun by photosynthesis. Then the plant is eaten by the primary consumer like a wild antelope or a graceful butterfly and the energy is thus transmitted. This energy may then flow into another animal like a mystic wolf or feral cougar. On the ramble through the thick grasses and uneven roads, my patrol and I saw many phenomenal and noteworthy specimen. Of these, one of the most notable was a marine fish in which we decided to name John Cleary, after the swashbuckling resemblance to one of my fellow classmates. These fish, we deduced were at the upscale side of the food chain because of two reasons. One being that they were not plants and two being that they appeared to eat smaller organisms. Then, a thought of genius dawned upon one of my fellow troops that if the fish/John Cleary were not the primary producer then what was? A classmate pointed out that usually primary producers were green and so we began to suspect that the frogs were maybe the primary producer. Eventually we realized this was not so because not only did the frogs not photosynthesis but they also consumed organisms. If they consumed other organisms than they would be a consumer not a producer. Over the course of many minutes filled with illustrious and bitter arguing it came to the unanimous vote that the grass, algae, pond weeds, and other plants were the primary producers. The energy from these producers was consumed by smaller organisms which were then consumed by the frogs and fish. By this time it was pretty far into the period but the bell was not scheduled to ring for ten whole minutes. For fear of starvation our class had to resort to cannibalism. While eating some nice Homo Sapien I had a brain blast in my head and saw just how much organisms rely on other organism for survial. For example, if all the plants died then how would we survive? This is very scary and we should recycle to save to the trees.

I enjoyed the way that you wrote this. The way that you had worded it was very interesting and made me keep wanting to read it
hii this was quite fabulous! it has alot of words so normally i woodnt have gone for it. but it was xtremly interesting due to ur creativity and made me want to read it(:
Recycling is awesome! John Cleary is the man.
This is very good work, i liked how yo9u includes John Cleary into this masterperce. Overall Awsome Man A++
I like your title, it describes it very well. You were very logical explaining how energy was transferred, and I thought that was good too.
Ben, the way you wrote this blog was awesome. It keeps the reader entertained while they learn about ecology. I think that the way you made this into an adventure helped add a lot of excitement to the article.
Ben Craig, I really enjoyed reading this! Your humor made me want to keep reading. I was wondering about your statement that fish were at the upscale of the food chain. Where exactly are they on the food chain? I have to admit, you may want to sensor the details of your cannibalism experience. That is the only constructive thing I have to say though. Your blog was informing and at the same time, it was entertaining! =)
Fascinating! clearly a centerpiece and very popular with the masses. Your integration of the fundamental laws of trophic levels within the ecosystem, and the insanely epic battle between nature and itself makes the story ultimately intriguing! I look forward to viewing future works Published by yourself.
A truly trademark Ben Craig work of art. I enjoyed how all parts to this wondrous tale are true and factual. All the way from the different trophic levels to the different animals in it. The only somewhat sad part about it was that the fish were difficult to catch and the eating of people had to happen.
