Container ship

yacht to set sail. Departing from his home (which will be described later) in Miami Beach, the boat cut through the crystalline waters en route to tropical paradise further south. Grayson found comfort in the hum of the on-board motors beneath the ship, the sound of the waves breaking across the navy colored hull, and the whistle of the wind whipping around him. It wasn't long before the luxurious yacht found itself roaming between tropical islands just miles away from Key West and Cuba. The…

So the sword skills and agility weren’t needed, but they knew they were going to require it someday. When, in flash One-Eyed Murphy climbed up Dubloon Devil’s ship and quickly slaughtered a few crew members. Dubloon Devil stood in shock and told all the rest of his crew to withdraw. From 10 to 6, all the crew members all rushed to safety even if it meant to swim across the ocean. Dubloon Devil only had one crew…

I changed into a thick pair of blue pants, a long-sleeved black shirt, and tall leather boots. Then I grabbed a copy of Moby Dick and read for a while, listening to the rain drum against the ship, until I dozed off and had another weird dream that was filled with gigantic sea monsters. Some wanted to chat, and others wanted to devour me. The clang of a dinner bell woke me. I glanced out of the porthole and saw that the rain had stopped. Relieved…

“We found it!” yelled Miguel as the boat sailed into El Dorado. “Finally! After months and months of sailing we finally found the famous-for-it’s-gold- El Dorado!” I cried leaping off the boat. It was amazing to see all of the gold that we have been looking for. Their chief came and greeted us along with Tzekel-Kan, the kingdom’s High Priest. The chief whispered something to Tzekel-Kan, who lighted up as if the world was in his hands. “Yes, Your Majesty, I did predict that three young people…

It may seem like the story “Raymond’s Run and “Everything will be okay” are different stories. They’re not! One story is about running and one is about a cat. Actually, they both share the same theme. The common theme is “ The importance of individualism and being yourself.” In “Raymond’s Run” the author shows us how squeaky isolates herself from others, and the outside world. She individualizes herself from other people, but she learns to open up a little bit. In the beginning of the…

Getting Involved in the Community There are many ways people come together and help the community, whether it is by donating, volunteering at churches, or at shelters.

“Treat the Earth well. It was not given to you by your parents. It was loaned to you by your children.” A quote by Kenyan Proverb that makes one think deeply about the future, of ours, and of our children. Many of our peers do not think deeply about this aspect, they only do if the facts are directly presented to them. Littering causes many negative affects on people, our community, and the economy. There are many possible solutions for this issue but, we decided to go for a simple, yet helpful…

When my grandfather passed away in 2008, everything changed. However, it wasn’t the actual passing of my grandpa that impacted me the most; it was the influence it had on my grandmother. My grandfather had Parkinson’s disease, and his last few years were very difficult. It got to the point where my grandmother was unable to care for him in their home, so he stayed in a nursing home for a while. When his days became more and more numbered, we decided to bring him home so he could be in a nice,…

8. Overview of the Arduino Sketch 8.1 General Codes MediaTek labs states that an Arduino sketch “is a source code file representing the core controlling logic for the LinkIt ONE development board. It consists of two main structures: setup and loop” (MediaTek Labs, n.d.). In this section I will discuss what the above code do. First, LinkIt ONE initializes the Ubidots account, then the sensors, Wi-Fi or GPRS, the location and finally the serial port. To minimize battery consumption, I did not use…

“Finding my Retainer” It was eighth grade when I lose my brand new retainer in the cafeteria. I only had them for one day! My parents told me to be very careful about them when I ate, and so I was. At lunch, I ate a peanut butter sandwich and laid my clear retainers on my tray where I would see and remember them. The bell rang and it was time to go to social so I threw away my food and guess who forgot their retainers? Me. Once I got to class thirty minutes later from social, I finally realized…
