Waves are disturbances that transfer energy from one place to another without transferring the particles of a medium. Some waves must travel through matter, known as the medium (mechanical waves). And when they travel through the medium they cause the particles to vibrate. Some types of mechanical waves are sound waves and ocean waves. Electromagnetic waves, on the other hand, are waves that do not need to travel through a medium. They are disturbances in both the electric and magnetic fields.…

I understand you might have issues with humans but I don’t know what you have against them I mean what did they ever do to you? Polyphemus! Polyphemus?” Bill looked around, when he realized everyone had left he lay back down on the sand and let the wave go back into the ocean. Polyphemus, shocked and tired walked slowly back into his cave and collapsed on the floor while saying, “I will find them and crush them.” The next morning Polyphemus woke up to the sound of low voices coming from the…

I am Calvin Aberg. I am 5’10”, I have hair and eyes that are chocolate. I am involved in many activities, my favorite of which is basketball. I enjoy basketball because I always like to savor the soft swoosh of my basketball as it softly falls through the bottom of the net. Another activity that I greatly enjoy is baseball, where the loud crack of the bat is accompanied by the wafting smells of hotdogs and peanuts as the ball soars out of the stadium and to the other side of the world.…

win”. In The Wave, the Nazi party social experiment proved this to be true. Gordon High School students who were a part of the wave were viewed as the “winners” in this novel, and the “losers” were those not committed to the wave. The members of the wave did not accept the other students who were not associated with the wave. Members of the wave even harassed and abused the students not devoted to the wave. When it was revealed at the wave rally that the wave was akin to the Nazis, the wave…

I’ve been training for weeks, and we are going to cream those kids. They’re coming now, I can see them across the field. My mom is waving to me.

Another example is when he sees a light out in the distance of the ocean. He hops on the raft and tries to paddle all the way out to it. He passes a couple of waves then sees a huge wave brewing. The wave flips the whole raft over and a coral reef stabs Chuck’s leg. Knowing the power that the waves have is essential. If there was no waves Chuck could swim all the way out to the light. Another example is Chuck using things on the island to survive. Chuck becomes pretty good at collecting food.…

CRASH! “Ow!” I thought while the waves crashed up against me.There’s a storm and I am in it because I got stuck in a fishnet. I was with my parents and there was a big wave that crashed on the rocks we were sitting on. I fell into the water and my head and tail got stuck on a fishnet. I was struggling to get out but I couldn’t move anything or go anywhere. Finally after about an hour of floating around I washed up on a beach where there was a terrible storm. I still couldn’t move anything…
