Dani’s English Myth (edited by Niamh Smith) Once, there was a young boy named Bonnie, who lived in his small village. He was always honest and worked hard for a kind man called Paul. Paul also had an assistant, known as Mr. Vines. Mr. Vines was not like his fellow worker and employee. He was cruel, vain and wanted Paul’s job. One night, while Paul was sleeping, Mr. Vines crept into his room and murdered him in his sleep. He kidnapped Bonnie and strapped him to a table which slowly pulled his…

A model of this occurs when the narrator describes the nursery; “animals took shape: yellow giraffes, blue lions, pink antelopes, lilac panthers cavorting in crystal substance. The walls were glass.

Kilimanjaro My experience climbing to the summit of the 19,341 foot “roof of Africa” was a great adventure with my 62 year old father that made me realize I can succeed in everything if I work hard enough. Nothing I had accomplished before contained even the slightest trace of verisimilitude to this almost alien climb. Climbing Kilimanjaro was an unforgettable experience that I love reflecting back on. I not only cherish the exultation of reaching the summit, but I also look back fondly at…

Other teams at meets had boys that were half my height, with arms as large around as my giraffe neck, who possessed tenfold superior skill than me. I was the guy in all the competitions that always stood next to the podiums, barely ever on them. Gymnastics was never meant for towering, lanky, unathletic boys, but me being me, I did it anyway…

Since the dawn of man, we have existed next to some of the fiercest predators. We have sometimes hunted alongside them, and eventually, we began to hunt them. It’s a simple idea, kill or be killed. But as man has evolved and continued to develop new foods and/or farming techniques, the need to kill for food has become less important. Instead, humans have adapted the idea of trophy hunting, with no other motive than to kill. It has become such a popular sport among the rich and entitled, that…

FRQ 1 The biological/neuroscience position states that evolution and genetics influence human behavior through the process of natural selection. One example would be a mutation of the 21st chromosome resulting in down syndrome. Those with down syndrome have intellectual and developmental delays. Therefore the biological/neuroscience argues for the nature side. The behaviorism perspective position proposes that humans learn through their environment through classical conditioning and operant…

Montoya was a sculptor that built giant statues of dinosaurs for Escobar. Montoya said “He needed a tranquil place to unwind with his family.” He was not content with fake dinosaurs and bull fights, so he imported foreign animals such as kangaroos, giraffes, hippos, zebras, and rhinos.

Escobar’s pride and joy was an 8,000-acre ranch equipped…

It was one of the monthly free days at the museum. It was my first time visiting the museum and my first time taking a CTA bus, so it was a very exciting day. My grandfather remembered going to the museum when he lived in Chicago as a very young boy, almost 90…
