Hermit Crab: My sister in law took my Son to Pebble Beach – Carmel to check out the 17 mile drive and he

Question
Came home with two Hermit Crabs. I am not sure what kind of hermit crabs they are. (Marine or Land) Apparently, he found them on close to the shore in one inch of water. They have orange antenna and they are tiny. They have a little bit of blue on their legs. I have a huge salt water aquarium and was wondering if it’s okay to let them live in there. They look like this (Found a photo on Wikipedia)

If anyone can give me advice and let me know what type of hermit crab my son found that would be great!

Hmm tough question im not sure what kind of hermit crab it is but you shouldn’t put them in the aquarium until you know what kind they are bring them to your local pet store they should be able to tell you what kind it is umm what should you do with them until you go to the pet store? I suggest you put them in at least a 5 gallon tank or so with a little hermit crab pool you can buy at the pet store its a little mini pool for your crab with low water just enough to get them a little wet just incase they are marine hermit crabs or just get a little lid or something and put a little water that they can climb in

I’m not sure what the exact species is (there’s many hermit crab species that look very similar), but they are definitely aquatic hermit crabs. It should probably be fine to keep them in your aquarium; hermit crabs are omnivores and eat practically anything, so they shouldn’t be too difficult to care for. The only thing that might be an issue is the depth of your aquarium, as if they are intertidal hermit crabs they may prefer more shallow water.

It sounds really interesting. You could post the picture to one of the internet picture sites and get better feedback. If I were you, I would send a picture of it to the paleontology department of one of your local universities. Oxford comes to mind but you probably know English universities better than I do. Something with wings suggests an early terasaur or something like that.

Could someone please rate my beach description? – for a GCSE english exam.?

Question
Not quite finished yet, but could anyone quickly read through this and give any opinions or tips on how to make it better? thank you. :)

July 2nd. The sun shone down making the silky sand glisten. Gracefully washing in and out, the sea dragged the swirled shells and perfectly moulded pebbles back to the water. Children scurried away from frustrated parents, giggling and splashing the salty water as the adults tried to restrain their boisterous children.

Contentedly chatting, a group of women perched on grubby deck chair, mesmerized by the gurgling baby girl peering up at them through glossy brown eyes. Beaming and kicking her stubby legs, she basked in their attention as they gazed down in admiration.

Aromas wafted from the cafes and restraunts, drawing people inside like bees to a honey pot. In the distance, the tinkling song of an ice cream van could be heard. Swarms of children raced to join the back of the bustling queue. Flustered mothers growled as their children pointed to the assorted ice lollies displayed tantalizingly in the van window.

“Mummy! Mummy! Ice creaaam!” demanded the red-faced toddler. He gazed pleadingly up at his reluctant mother. Smothered head to toe in sun cream, his bare arms and legs were covered in uneven patches of sand.

Hello, I am writing a book, can you read a bit and tell me what you like?

Question
Chapter 1. The native girl

Claire was a small girl, her arms were small and here head was small. She was very small of a girl. Her friend named Jerry was a small guy as well. They were both small like a pebble you would find lying on the beach. Jerry one day decided he had to ask Claire out on a date. They were friends for a long time now and Jerry wanted to date her.

It was the last period in school that day, Jerry went up to Claire and stared into her blue eyes.
“You like me Claire-Bear right?” Jerry asked sweetly.
Claire looked away.

“Would you go out with me tonight?” Jerry asked.

Claire scowled and swiftly kicked Jerry between his legs. Claire flinched and then turned away like a professional boxer who just lost a fight. Jerry collapsed the the floor and started sputtering in pain.

Claire got home that same day and told her mom what had happened, her mom….

NOT FINISHED

Hey

Okay, it is okay to use small in the first sentence three times for the effect of repetition, but then you use it three times after. Change it to words like ‘petite’, ‘little’, or ‘she had dainty’ features

In the first sentence it should be ‘her’ not ‘here’

Are they really that small? Like a pebble?

The rest of it, well would you kick a guy who you were friends with just because he asked you out, and something you’d tell your mum and make a big deal out of it

I really like this part:

Claire scowled and swiftly kicked Jerry between his legs. Claire flinched and then turned away like a professional boxer who just lost a fight. Jerry collapsed the the floor and started sputtering in pain.

But you can expand it more

we understand that claire was small, so you don’t really have to say that twice, but overall it sounds great!

it’s good but what grade r they in cuz wen u say they’re small i pictured them like they were kindergarten and describe jerry and claire a bit more. oh and dat must hurt 4 jerry. it’s good i wanna knw wat happens
Answered by Coco
The first paragraph is too rushed and scans like someone reading a fairy-tale out loud. The grammar isn’t great either. I also don’t understand why you have to comment that they are small so much. Is it that relevant to the story?
The use of descriptive verbs and adjectives shows that you can be imaginative when you want to, but I think you need to think about what you are writing more and slow your story down. Good luck!

    …Meh…

    I don’t understand what you mean by “small”. Small as in short, small as in young, literally the size of a pebble…I think you need to clarify there. The rest is pretty good, but could use some more expanding. It happened pretty quickly. I agree with Just Like That.

  2. ✞ Effie ✞ says:

    hmm it doesn’t entirely make sense.
    you over-emphasise the fact that she is small.
    this part is not a proper sentence “she was very small of a girl” I take it English is not your first language? It should be “She was a very small girl” but to be honest, just say she’s small once and leave it at that.
    It skips big chunks in a way that doesn’t follow.
