Scooby-Doo

In “Evidence” by journalist Kathryn Schulz, Schulz investigates human cognition, inductive reasoning and largely why humans find it so rewarding to be correct and so infuriating to be mistaken and how this outlook toward inaccuracy affects us in everyday life. There is the quote, “ To err is human”, meaning, everyone makes mistakes. However, the majority of us travel through life assuming we are right about almost everything. The question is then, if being mistaken is a natural trait, why are…

My story My very first memory of my existence was when I was playing with my big brothers Scooby doo toy. But the life of an innocent child didn’t start there it started in May 8Th of 1999. Rapidly growing passing through kindergarten (elementary), middle school and resulting in high school. High school is nothing compared to what was before that or even beyond. In elementary no one really knows the seriousness of education or life in general, most of the times, like in my case; we go to school…

At first, we worked together to read the chapter books with typical plotlines like Scooby Doo and the Werewolf. From there, my mother introduced me into my love of poetry with works by Shel Silverstein. And finally, at the age of 17, my mother is teaching me the beauty of life with poetry that writes what our souls haven’t been able to speak…

To what extent is the mass media creating a bad influence on society? Throughout the essay I will be discussing to what extent is the mass media creating a negative influence on society today. There are many positives as well as negatives but this essay will be focusing on the negatives. We expect the media to keep us up to date and entertained by informing us on what is happening around the world. However, the mass media has a huge negative influence on children and teenagers.

parking lot. I woke up with a jolt when someone shouted, “I can’t wait to ride a tandem bike.” I looked out the window and we were at the ferry docks. Everything look quite dismal. Fog hung around the ferries so thickly all I could imagine was that Scooby-Doo Episode where he cut the fog into a donut. Because of this dreary weather we sat on the inside of the ferry and we couldn’t see anything outside the windows, just white sheets of water droplets. When we got to the island we had to hear this…

Chapter 3 The 1964 book continued to be the epitome of Ladybird’s Cinderella until the 1970s.

The 1970s saw the publishing house enter a new era of change. Amongst the changes in pricing the books, the company also brought on a new parent company the Pearson Longman Group. In Ladybird By Design, Lawrence Zeegan states “On 3 January…

Love has always been a mystery to me. Not in the sense of love that comes from another person of the opposite gender but more so family & self love. These two types of love are my monster/creature in a scooby doo episode, Only difference is that my episode is sixteen years long with no clues left along the way. The definition of “love” is an intense feeling of deep affection. But there are many other definitions that others may classify love to be. Love is the person that I have identified but…

Many people do not see the wrong in going to McDonalds everyday, especially since it is so cheap and found on every street corner. Even if a person is seen as “skinny” there is still a high chance of them having an obesity related disease. Since the 1970s it has been statistically proven that people’s health has reached a new low. It can only come to the generation of eighteen to twenty-four year olds to make a change that is needed and will improve the health of generations to come. There are…
