down. If others were to see a beautiful woman sitting on the wall, it would be joked of having an affair." Murong Shan Shan blushed, took my hand and lightly jumped off the wall. Her physical fitness was quite good. Normally, a girl would be already out of breath going through this mess.

the bottle with the water inside, then opened the valve allowing the pressurized air to escape, once again weighing just the water, and lastly, pouring the water out and measuring one last time. This allowed him to subtract the differences between the water and the air to discover how much air weighs compared to water. Come to find out, “air seemed to weigh as much as one four-hundredth the weight of an equivalent amount of water” (pg6). Although this may not sound like a lot, this number is…

best and be the best. When we didn’t understand something we were able to raise our hand and ask question without being scared that people would judge us for asking. Now you ask a question and everyone just stares at you like you are from another planet and I’m guessing that’s how a lot of students didn’t learn things.

that has been debated about for a long time. People have the opinion that it has negative influences on the body, on the economy, and on the environment. Smokers believe that it is not that big of a deal. This nasty habit effects everyone on this planet in some way or form. To begin with, having one cigarette is like having a million. First and foremost, when a smoker starts this habit they cannot stop; it becomes an addiction. Others may argue that its is not, and that if they wanted they…

We are living the most advanced era in the history. We conquer planets; manipulate genes; build marvels; predict the future; dig out the past and do everything that our ancestors would consider unimaginable.

They are all raised up in a ring to honor the werewolves having sheer terror expressed on their faces. They pass the severed heads ignoring their silent warnings. All of them are at unease except for Ricco, who was the only excited person in the group. Lisa stops and bends down.
