Penguins
<view this essay>.... the unique structure of their eyes.
Penguins have to be able to see well under water because their diet
consists mainly of plankton, molluscs, crustaceans, and the inevitable fish.

Heaven
<view this essay>.... her. She could feel herself being pulled closer and closer to the light. The light became warmer as she grew nearer, and yet she still had no fear. Off in the distance, she could see sparkling gates; they looked as sparkling gold, so pure that they were transparent, like glass. As she looked through them she could see a man. Standing next to the gates she could see the man in full-detail. He was clothed with a long, white robe, and a golden sash across his chest. His head and his hair were as white as snow, his eyes were like a flame of fire, his feet were like burnished bronze, refined as in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of many wa .....
