In March of the penguins it shows that humans and the emperor penguins have much in common. Penguins have some human like qualities and some very different methods. there are ways families are raised by both penguins and humans that are the same and different. There are unique qualities and characteristics to both too. It may be hard to see or identify, but penguins are closer to humans then you might think.
Similarities between humans and penguins are both children get really attached with their parents. Human children may never want to let go of mom and dad and play with other kids early on and penguin babies don’t want to leave their mother’s or father’s body and protection. Also both take turns carrying their young. Penguin’s take turns carrying the egg and baby so the other parent can provide food and human parents take turns holding and feeding their child. Another similarity is that we both walk on two legs. Probably, the most similar between us and the penguins is that we both like to play and have fun. Baby penguins play with the other fellow newborns as humans play with other kids.
Despite many similarities, there are differences with penguins and humans. For example eating. Human parents will feed their infant with a spoon of food or a bottle; however penguins feed their young by regurgitation food from the mother or father’s mouth into the chick’s mouth. Also, the lifespan is dramatically different. Penguins live 15-20 years as humans live on average 71-74 years. Some of this may be due to that penguins have to hunt for their food not buy it, they have predators(Humans don’t), and most important the climate difference. The penguins live in the toughest climate on Earth as we live in a home and if we don’t like where we live we can just move.
Overall, humans and penguins have many similarities and differences. Penguins live their lives very much like humans. Some of the traits of penguins are so similar it seems like they are humans. Besides probably monkeys, penguins are may be second in being similar to human like qualities. In summary, human beings and penguins are very similar.

REFLECTION
Humans and Penguins are alike. The objective of this assignment was to compare and contrast Humans and Penguins from the movie March of the Penguins. One writing technique that I thought was very useful were simile's. Like comparing us to penguins. Another technique that I tried to use was upper level vocabulary like saying newborns over baby. However, I thought i could use some more writing risks and a bit more good vocabulary words, otherwise I thought my piece was well written.
