Alligator

I remember almost being attacked by an alligator. In the year of 2013, that night was memorable. This incident taught me a great lesson in life that still lives in this moment. It is an anniversary in September; it continues to live. This event influenced my life by making me decipher the adversities of life and how I deal with the predicaments of life. My family and I just came home from Mandir celebrating nine nights of Navratri. The cooker knew my dad, and the chef packed extra food. My…

To fix this problem, you need to not only patch your concrete, but design it to support heavier loads in the future. #3 Reflective Cracks Reflective cracks are generally long, straight cracks.

something strange before we left that I never understood. He said “Time to go meet the alligators.” But we all sort of ignored him. While driving to my uncle’s house, we had to pass through an area that was called Alligator Alley also known as the Everglades. It was a huge swampy area that went on for miles. While driving, my dad shouted “Look! There’s an alligator!” When we looked out the window there was a HUGE alligator on the side of the road! There were no fences to block the from going…

closer look. The quote on the “Happiness” picture with the alligator is from Benjamin Franklin, and says that happiness depends more on the “inward disposition of mind” rather than on “outward circumstances.” This means that how we feel inside is what makes us feel happiness. Showing an alligator in the picture, whose outward appearance does not generally makes us think of a happy animal, indicates that as angry or sad the alligator may look, he can still be happy because of how he feels…

The Underlying Effect of Forgiveness The story The Underneath by Kathi Appelt (2008) begins with a small, very pregnant, calico cat abandoned by her family, left to die on the side of the road. She started to wander trying to find a place to sleep, finding a abandoned nest to curl up into in hopes of getting out of the terri-ble storm. The next day she awakes to a song being sung by an old hound. The song, sad and lonely, she heard it from miles away wanting to find where it was coming from.…

We received the lovelies package for the girls with matching hair accessories for both Ava and Zoe, Alligator clips for Ava and the Barely there clips for Miss Zoe. Unfortunately Miss Zoe was not interested in hair accessories even a little bit! She's also in a phase though where I can't get her to sit still long enough to even put on shoes before she's in tears and squawking to be let go! What little girl doesn't love a good bow? I know Miss Ava loves her a bow and the bigger the better, which…

solution, metal strips, a salt bridge, alligator clips, and an abrasive sponge. Then 10 mL of CuSO4(aq) and 10 mL of ZnSO4(aq) were placed into separate 250 mL beakers. A copper strip was then placed in the beaker containing CuSO4(aq) and a zinc strip was placed into the beaker with ZnSO4(aq). The two beakers were connected by a salt bridge that consisted of a string soaked in 0.5 M KI solution and each end was placed into each solution. Next, the alligator clips of the voltmeter were attached…

humans, we are selective in the lessons we want to learn from, and that’s natural. I remember one day spent at the tables I saw an alligator in the pond. The alligator was doing absolutely nothing, just minding his own business. I remember thinking that since the alligator is living in harmony with us, we should be doing the same. I overgeneralized the fact that an alligator was doing nothing and turned it into a lesson. I bet there are countless other stories in which I did the same exact…

“Ok, thanks” platypus went down to the river. He decided that his ankles were the best places to attach them. With his new barbs he decided to go find his friends. “Sick spikes dude” alligator said. “Yeah that's sick” pelican pitched in. “So am I cool now” platypus asked. “Definitely bro” alligator answered. Platypus and his friends spent the rest of the day hanging out and showing off how cool they were. When the sun was beginning to set and platypus told his friends “I've gotta go before…
