Larry Bird

ours was written by Jackie MacMullan and the book was based off of the fierce rivalry of Larry Bird and Magic Johnson in there many face-offs for basketball glory. “When you think you have done enough, do a little more, because someone out there is working harder than you.” Jackie Macmullan really does a fantastic job telling the story on what it was like when the game was theirs. Magic Johnson and Larry Birds rivalry was unmatched, even to this day there hasn’t been a rivalry between 2 players…

1980’s. One of those men was Larry Bird. Larry Bird was born in the small town of French Lick in Southern Indiana where his incredible basketball career began at Spring Valley High School. Larry Bird’s High School Coach told him that there was no place for him on any team if he keeps being so generous by setting his teammates up with great passes instead of shooting the ball. So Larry decided to just do both pass and shoot. He became “Larry The Living Legend”. Larry Bird was born on…

Capybaras are the world’s largest rodent at one and a half to two feet tall at the shoulder, four feet in length, and up to 150 pounds.

having no will of their own because their oppressor forces them into what to do. Moreover. the bird represents a slave, as it is shut in its cage. Hence, in this case, a free flowing river is precisely what the slaves wish they could have. Analyzing this symbol more in depth, the bars represent entrapment: “When he beats his bars and he would be free” (“Sympathy” 17). As the cage takes away the birds freedom, but also, the slaves. This is because the slaves long to be free, but these bars are…

When a person is young they have goals that they wish to have when they are older. My goals were to have a big house, be a veterinarian and when I was old enough to realize what had happened to adopt siblings. I have a few stories that go along with these goals and here they are.

Once when I was about seven or eight my sister and I, were walking back to my grandma’s from my friend’s…

experiences and hardships studying birds, in particular a bird’s ability to talk and understand words, and her growing relationship with one bird. This bird was named Alex, and he was an African Grey who died at a young age of thirty-one years old. What helps make the book so good is the great balance between serious facts, and funny moments, which makes the book both educational and fun to read. I would recommend this to anyone who loves animals, especially birds. Alex and me has lots of…

Students cut out a slip of paper from a template and folded two…

During this week I saw an episode of The life of the Birds presented by David Attenborough in which he showed the way which some birds have for catching the attention of a possible couple. Amongst all of them, he showed the lyrebird which seems to have more than 300 different sounds for that, and amongst those sounds there was one that sounded like the alarm of a car and other that sounded like a pneumatic drill, those which are utilized to break streets, all that while deployed the feathers of…
