does this sound like a good introduction paragraph to an informational article about Komodo Dragons?


Did you know that dragons do exist? These supposed “Dragons” are actually 10ft long 150-pound lizards, and that makes them the biggest lizards on the planet! These massive lizards are called Komodo dragons, and interestingly, according to ‘Giant Lizards of Indonesia‘ by R.A. Wallami, “…a picture of this giant lizard—the Komodo dragon—inspired the maker of the movie Godzilla to create the story of a giant-sized lizard gone wild.” But as majestic and cool as they sound, they are actually a problem for the villagers of the Island that they live on, Komodo Island in Indonesia. From attacking villagers and stealing livestock, these lizards are mean and aggressive creatures. In attempts to fix these problems, the Nature Conservancy enacted laws that were supposed to stop the problems. However, this only made the problem worse, as one law they enacted for example was to “…ban all non-native animals from the island”, According to ‘Giant Lizards of Indonesia‘ by R.A. Wallami, and this law included the popular pet dogs. Without dogs on the island, there were no animals discouraging the dragons to enter the village. Another law the Nature Conservancy created was to not allow the villagers to feed the dragons. Before this law was in place, the villagers fed the dragons which caused the dragons to not enter the village looking for food. Now with this law, the village is constantly invaded by these ravenous lizards. To make matters worse, the Nature Conservancy does not seem to be listening to the villagers concerns. They should not ignore the villagers of the Island because the villagers do not feel safe from these dangerous predators.

3. For centuries, the people of Pentecost Island have held an unusual event: land diving. Once a year, young men tie jungle vines to their ankles and throw themselves off 100 foot towers.

Extreme sports are not new.

What conclusion can best be drawn from this synthesis

Would the bicycle help bring about a new kind of equality
between men and women? Elizabeth Cady Stanton and
her colleagues certainly hoped so. At any rate, the image
of a female cyclist quickly became associated with
efforts to win more rights for women. When Cambridge
University in England decided to offer female students
full admission in 1897, the male students protested by
hanging a figure of a woman on a bicycle in effigy.
O The bicycle was successful in achieving equality
between the sexes.
England was ahead in its fight for equal opportunities
for women.
O Many people strongly opposed the increasing rights
of women.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton fought for a woman's right to
attend college.

Analyzing and Supporting a Theme
Try
Here is your part: at break of day tomorrow
home with you, go mingle with our princes.
The swineherd later on will take me down
the port-side trail – a beggar, by my looks,
hangdog and old. If they make fun of me
in my own courtyard, let your ribs cage up
your springing heart, no matter what I suffer,
no matter if they pull me by the heels
or practice shots at me, to drive me out.
Look on, hold down your anger. You may even
plead with them, by heaven! in gentle terms
to quit their horseplay - not that they will heed
you,
rash as they are facing their day of wrath.
