Counting

When you are behind on a college class and are counting on spring break to catch you up on your work the last thing you want to hear is that you are going overseas for the first time in your life. That’s what happened to me this year and while traveling to a new country, especially one that I have never heard of before, sounded like an amazing experience, I still was hesitant on a few minor details like the flight time of 13 hours going there and 15 hours going back and the fact that I had…

fellow classmates. For this term’s child studies assessment, I have designed a toy for 2-3-year-old called the “Art Geo Board”. The art geo board is a kids toy to encourage them to learn more about shapes, colours, numbers, alphabet, objects, pattern, counting and symmetry. It is a wooden board with pegs you can string rubber bands around and fairly simple to make and cheap fun. I made this toy for under $12 in materials and completed in less than an hour. Everything was purchased from a dollar…

Besides the chickens, we have several other additions to the family— two calves, a colt, and a penful of funny little pigs. You would be amused to see me hold a squealing pig in my arms, while Helen feels it al over, and asks countless questions—questions not easy to answer either. After seeing the chicken come out of the egg, she asked: "Did baby pig grow in egg? Where are many shells?" Helen's head measures twenty and one-half inches, and mine measures twenty-one and one-half inches. You see,…

Robber Zhi was a notorious robber at that period who had 9,000 subordinates, invade people’ houses to steal their horses, cows and women. He killed people who were not guilty everyday.

Big countries where he passed through tried to protect their castles from his troops, and small countries tried to found new castles to protect their land from his troops. Thus, lots of…

tragic hero, Othello has covered the first Tenet of Tragedy. I was able to infer that this character will be the one that develops a tragic flaw that will ultimately lead to his downfall. Othello has all the characteristics of a tragic hero, not counting his high positions in the armed forces, his inter ties with a Venetian senator, Brabantio alone lead the reader to believe that his nice, loving affair is soon to change. At one point Othello speaks to the duke about Brabantio’s daughter, about…

N-V Cougar Practice It was just another regular day to practice for the Niobrara-Verdigre Cougars at Niobrara. All of the Verdigre football players despised going over to Niobrara for practice. It was the usual ride over there with all of us talking about how school went that day, about football, or about other topics in the news. We would turn up the radio if a song came on that most of us could sing since we knew the song. It would seem sometimes that it seemed we were on the way to choir…

Language is something we all can relate to, and sometimes obstacles and boundaries come in not being able to communicate well in the environment that we are in.

The first way our language is racialized is through our opportunities a person of my color can go out to get a job, but they may not get it because of the color of their skin. Where someone with the same skill set,but the…
