The Mighty Redwoods Redwood trees, also know as Sequoias, are the world's tallest trees, reaching an average height of 300 feet. There are two types of
redwoods native to the United States: Coast Redwoods (Sequola sempervirens) and Sierra Redwoods (Sequoiadendron giganteum). While the
two types are similar in some ways, they also differ in a number of ways.
Coast Redwoods and Sierra Redwoods are similar in very general aspects. Both types of redwoods are evergreen trees. Both have
reddish bark and, like many evergreens, they yield cones. Another similarity is that both types grow extremely tall. On average, redwoods are
about the height of a 30-story building
However, while Coast Redwoods and Sierra Redwoods grow to a similar height the Coast Redwoods tend to be thinner than Sierra
Redwoods. Coast Redwoods are usually about 12 to 16 feet in diameter, while some Sierra Redwoods reach an impressive 28 to 32 feet in
diameter
Another difference between the two types of trees relates to the environments in which they grow. Coast Redwoods are found near the
coast of the Pacific Ocean, from central California to southern Oregon, while Sierra Redwoods are found mainly in central California, primarily in
the Sierra Nevada mountain range Coast Redwoods, as their name suggests, grow in the foggy, rainy climate near the ocean and in coastal hills
at elevations up to around 3.000 feet. Sierra Redwoods do best in the drier inland climate at elevations ranging from 5,000 feet to 8,000 feet.
How are Coast Redwoods and Sierra Redwoods alike?
1. Both grow well in areas with a rainy climate
2. Both are evergreen trees that produce cones,
3. Both thrive at elevations of 5.000 feet and above.
4. Both have similar diameters and grow only in California.

Read the passage from animal farm. as clover looked down the hillside her eyes filled with tears. if she could have spoken her thoughts, it would have been to say that this was not what they had aimed at when they had set themselves years ago to work for the overthrow of the human race. these scenes of terror and slaughter were not what they had looked forward to on that night when old major first stirred them to rebellion. if she herself had had any picture of the future, it had been of a society of animals set free from hunger and the whip, all equal, each working according to his capacity, the strong protecting the weak, as she had protected the lost brood of ducklings with her foreleg on the night of major's speech. instead—she did not know why—they had come to a time when no one dared speak his mind, when fierce, growling dogs roamed everywhere, and when you had to watch your comrades torn to pieces after confessing to shocking crimes. there was no thought of rebellion or disobedience in her mind. she knew that, even as things were, they were far better off than they had been in the days of jones, and that before all else it was needful to prevent the return of the human beings. whatever happened she would remain faithful, work hard, carry out the orders that were given to her, and accept the leadership of napoleon. but still, it was not for this that she and all the other animals had hoped and toiled. it was not for this that they had built the windmill and faced the bullets of jones's gun. such were her thoughts, though she lacked the words to express them. what was most likely orwell’s purpose for writing this passage? to show that clover is more sensitive to violence than the others to remind readers of major's speech and the original rebellion to present napoleon as a cruel leader unworthy of the animals’ support to represent misled followers and their dashed hopes for better lives
