Opossum Diet

You would never call opossums picky eaters! For example, adult female opossums slurp out the yolk from inside birds' eggs. Some of their favorite foods include: insects, earthworms, and slugs, as well as snakes, lizards, mice, and small birds. Also human garbage and dead animals rate high on the opossums' favorite food list. They eat whatever their nose leads them to. If the female has baby opossums, at night they ride her back like a load of kids in a mini-van. This is the way the young opossums learn what kind of food to look for as their mom snuffles and shuffles about, looking for a meal.

What type of writing is demonstrated in this excerpt by general philip henry sheridan? at once i set about preparing for the examination which precedes admission to the military academy, studying zealously under the direction of mr. william clark; my old teachers, mcnanly and thorn, having disappeared from somerset and sought new fields of usefulness. the intervening months passed rapidly away, and i fear that i did not make much progress, yet i thought i should be able to pass the preliminary examination. that which was to follow worried me more and gave me many sleepless nights; but these would have been less in number, i fully believe, had it not been for one specification of my, outfit which the circular that accompanied my appointment demanded. this requirement was a pair of "monroe shoes." now, out in ohio, what "monroe shoes" were was a mystery—not a shoemaker in my section having so much as an inkling of the construction of the perplexing things, until finally my eldest brother brought an idea of them from baltimore, when it was found that they were a familiar pattern under another name. a. research essay b. persuasive essay c. biography d. memoir
