Slingshot Vs Catapults

Decent Essays
If I was turned into an ant, I would want to create a slingshot or a catapult to make life better for and ant. I would create one of these for them so they could get food back to their ant hill. All they would have to do is slingshot it or catapult it to the hill and they would not have to do an assembly line or walk all the way back. They would get it done faster and get more food. Therefore they would have enough food for the winter and have extra to spare and everyone in the colony could have more to eat. Genre Audience Purpose Style

The prompt is trying to teach us not to waste time.
I disagree with the quote because if you are talking to your friends when you are supposed to be studying then you are not prepared for whatever you were

    Chapter 5 of “On Course” provides an in-depth discussion on employing interdependence. Within the chapter were a few subtopics, for example, creating a support network, using resources, creating study groups and Saying “No”. While reading I was naturally attracted to the point of Saying “No” on page 160 on the grounds that I could identify with having a troublesome time with regards to denying other individual solicitation and that has affected my goals even deferred them. The art of saying “no” to people is an important tool for an assertive creator because it helps to keep them on the desired path by prioritizing their owns goals and managing time to do tasks that would contribute to achieving those said goals. As an incoming freshman,…

    The author states that most of the students do not desire to get a strong academic formation. When the essay states that “ In college, life is elsewhere”, Edmonson relates how students are more concerned about passing courses in college instead of learning important theory associated with their fields.

    When I first started university, I had to go to an advising session; while, I do not remember what it was about, The one thing that managed to grab my attention was when the advisor said “I can spot a freshman a mile away” when someone asked her how, she replied” just search for people who look lost and confused”. It struck a chord deep within me because I was really lost and confused, not only that but also anxious, friendless, and afraid of all the responsibilities and of the possibility of failing. While my family assured me that these obstacles are the key element in becoming more responsible, and overcoming them will allow me to discover my strengths and weaknesses. I, on the other hand, felt like these obstacles were not character builders, but more like energy and time consumers that affected the academic performances and health of both my peers’ and myself. I strongly believe that fixing these problems should be one of the university’s priorities.…

Students find grades more important than taking the information being taught, experienced or studied and obtaining it.…

They need a break all the learning and most of those who don't go to recess could get upset or mad. "When a teacher holds a student out of recess, she undermines her relationship with that student.

    In the first quote, it mainly discusses about how Honors students have trouble discussing and answering questions out loud because we are afraid of saying something wrong or different. I can say that this quote is absolutely true. There are countless times that I feel like I know an answer to a question or I feel like I can contribute something to a discussion, but I am too scared about what other people would think about my answer. I think that Honors students generally are afraid of this because we are worried about saying something wrong. By improving on this fear, I think that in general, people would be less afraid of speaking up in front of the class or contributing to a class discussion because people will be more comfortable about…

He gives three benefits when students get a college degree, and these benefits are: economically, politically, and intellectually educated. It sounds good to have such benefits, but nowadays, with all the development in technology that we have and all the things that make our life so easy, we depend every day more on technology. Now people are enrolling at colleges and they are trying to get good grades, but the technology is creating a wall between leaning and scoring grades. The big problem now is not how can…

Another study of similar motives was taken on the most significant activities the impacted the students’ performance in any given course. The results of that study showed the idea that the most important learning takes place in the classroom and that students who do a conscientious job on a daily basis preparing for and participating in class perform better than students who skip class and try to cram for exams.(Schiming)…
