Pokémon

An iPhone was placed in the hands of Rylee for the first time. An app (Pokemon Go) was uploaded that every person in her school talks about. The location services were turned on, on Rylee’s phone and she saunters around outside by herself for hours. Rylee accumulated her fiftieth Pokemon as she looks up and notices the pitch black viewpoint, she wondered where she was. Nothing but a whistle of the nippy wind was flying by her ear. Rylee continues to walk a little further and she trusts herself…

Does Halloween make you think of scary witches and creepy ghosts? We don’t really celebrate Halloween in our country, although it has recently become more popular among the trendy families to let their kids go ‘trick or treating’. The kids love it as it gives them an opportunity to dress up. Halloween is on the night of 31 October, the eve of All Saints' Day. It refers to the Celtic festival Samhain. The Celts celebrated this day because it was when those who looked after animals moved them…

Claim: Kids today have lots of technology to keep them entertained today, wherever they go. When I was a kid, that was not exactly the case. I didn't have a cell phone by my side or in front of my face at all. When in a car, I didn't have a television to watch movies on until I was eight years old, and even then, I had grown so used to not having it, I never really watched it. I didn't have portable game devices until I was fourteen. The most important stage of life is a person's childhood,…

The Beauty of Complete Metamorphosis It was a warm day in early October. A young boy at the age of 11 with pale skin and freckles was frolicking in his neighborhood park about a block away from his house. He wore his favorite pair of blue jean overalls with a yellow and olive striped shirt underneath. He loved being outside and spent most of his time at his neighborhood park. His normal routine after he got off the bus from school was to go home, eat a snack of some sort, change into his play…

Erik Erikson and Jean Piaget’s theories contrast one another, however they both agree that humans go through different stages through our development. Jean Piaget’s theory, cognitive development, focuses on different stages of a child where they transition from one stage to the other, and they follow a sequence. His stages and key ideas can be looked at as building blocks meaning, a good foundation can build a sturdy tower that will not easily fall down, however if your foundation is not even…

Many things have changed since the very first computer was invented and wouldn 't even be called a computer compared to the ones we have today. Technology has gone a long way since then and now almost everyone now has the internet in their pockets. Even so, technology has just now improved and sadly the older generation isn 't able to enjoy it as much the younger generation does now. In Mark Bauerlein 's article Generation Text he talks about the impact of technology on kids and its “harmful”…

friends I’ve made, and the talents I’ve honed. My background is much different from anyone else's, and I believe that's what makes me stand-out from other applicants. As a child, I drew on everything; I would create my own cartoon characters, draw Pokemon, just do anything to show I could draw. After awhile of my mom becoming annoyed of me drawing all over my walls, so I was given and sketchbook. Of course it didn't last…

wasn’t held against me since site leaders are usually held accountable. Crazy how those we place trust on get manipulated by power. Seeing how vulnerable the masses were to internet intrusion, I was inspired to pursue a career in IT Network Security. Pokemon Go, the game of nostalgia. During it’s release, my failed ideologies returned to me. Oh, how much foolish time was wasted. Tools were released for users to cheat, I saw this as an opportunity to start a trading market. Since we the cheaters…

the most meaning full steps that these individuals will take. Standing around the wheelchair, they are waiting for a very important participant named Caliah.
