Can We Chill

SECTION A: REFLECTION Question 1: My reflection on my lowest mark. Academic writing, it is not even a fearsome word, but the chills it gave me turned into my lowest mark of 80% for assignment three. In this assignment we had to write an essay on a topic presented and I chose topic one, “The over dependence on technology has resulted in students losing the ability to think independently” UNISA, 2016 (Placeholder1). In this assignment I reflected on how to write academically for economic…

There are many things that i have experienced in Mr.Pj’s science class. We learned more than just science. Even though we had some amazing times in science class. All the classes were are almost always fun and not boring to where I would just want to sleep through. I'm pretty sure i speak for all of us when i say we learned a lot more than we do in other classes. Like i said earlier though we learned more than just science. We learned the values like getting work done on time, teamwork is key,…

innocent and delicate infant destined to inherit this world. Full of life and energy, but, in desperate need of care, I was greeted with unconditional love from two enduring individuals, who had persevered through the trials of life: my parents. I can only imagine what I felt during these times. Being constantly under watchful and careful eyes, having utmost attention, and most importantly living a happy, simple life were all commodities that I enjoyed. However, this would come to a halt as the…

muscles tighten.”- (Layton) Fear is a chemical reaction that tells our brain and bodies that something is wrong. It is a survival instinct that that keeps us safe and out of danger. But what chemical reactions happen when you are afraid. To answer that we look to science. When fear senses pick up a fear stimulus, your brain goes through two different paths. The “High Path” and the “Low Path,”-(Layton). Both paths create a different outcome, and both happen simultaneously. The “Low…

I’d planned to go in for a quick dip after we finished eating. I want to feel the sea on my skin.” “Absolutely not. The water’s dangerously cold and you’ll catch a death of a chill.” “I will not die in the water,” insisted Joan. “Besides, you can come in with me and keep me safe.” “I have to be part of this little adventure, too?” asked Perceval with mock disdain. Joan stuck out her lower up…

We have to keep in mind that alcohol contains calories and may contribute to unwanted weight gain — a risk factor for high blood pressure. Also, alcohol can interfere with the effectiveness and increase the side effects of some blood pressure medications…

so, because there was a slight drizzle, my Dad and I decided to just chill out and watch some TV until the weather decided to calm down. This was a vacation that will never be forgotten. My ears perk up as I notice the quieting of the rain against the window. I get up and walk over, pushing the roughly sewn curtain to the right side of the window, gazing out into the world beyond. Though it was still overcast, I ask my Dad, “Can we go down to the beach now since the rain has cleared up?” He…

Anthony felt a chill run through his body at the silence, but ignored it in favor of talking with Wendy, who was explaining her college courses to the teens. They continued on, pushing past risen roots, fallen trees and weeds while chatting aimlessly. “So what’s the plan…

blackness, like two tiny moons in the sky. Rubbing the sleep from my eyes, I groan before sitting up. At this point, I look like a bear coming out of hibernation. I’m confused, my eyesight is blurred, and all I want is to curl back up in the warm bed. The chill hits my arms raising dozens of goosebumps on my arms.

In the first stanza the speaker uses personification to describe death. “He kindly stopped for me”. Death something that everyone eventually experiences; the…
