lenses, one directed upwards and the other downwards and inwards towards the manubrium. This enables the animal to see specific points of light, as opposed to simply distinguishing between light and dark. Box jellyfish also have twenty ocelli (simple eyes) that do not form images, but detect light and dark; they therefore have a total of twenty-four eyes. Near the rhopalia are statoliths which detect gravitational pull and help the animal to orientate…
long journey, only an hour, hour and a half. It was dark outside now and we said “oh finally!” as we approached the camp Laughing Waters sign. As we drove around the camp we watched anxiously for Swatara cabin. We arrived at Swatara cabin and climbed out of the car with breaths of relief, and stretched out. We grabbed our things and began to to walk to the cabin. We went to open the door only to find that it was locked. We went around the other side and it opened. We went inside and turned on…
Greene’s dead.” “Did you say murdered?” I asked, thinking that after solving the great ghost caper sort of, a second high-profile case would be good publicity for agency. “No I said dead,” he insisted. “Ohhh . . .” “Twist wants us to meet him at Moons Field Manor.

As previously said by Mark Twain, "Everyone is a moon, and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody." This statement illustrates how, no matter who, everyone can be influenced by negative aspects such as vanity, selfishness, arrogance and desire for power. In the book The House Of The Scorpion, the characters are constantly altered by these negative traits, which often results in terrible consequences. Farmer's novel narrates the story of a boy who wishes to be included in society and…
It has only struck me now how important McDonald’s has truly been in my short lived life. In general, fast food restaurant’s are always thought of as the place everybody congregates to when they need to eat something that is quick and inexpensive. But when nearly everybody in this country will go at least once in their life, it gives you the opportunity to see all the types of people in this world, good and bad.

Karmel turned to leave. “Bring me…
my dream had taken place. It took me a while realize this. But when I did, I remember the beach with the trail leading to it. I searched, and sure enough there it was. I walked down the trail, revealing a gray stoned beach with a perfect view the moon inside the crevasse. I lied down on the edge of the water, and stared up at the starry sky. I stayed like this for what seemed like hours, until a pale gray figure came up to me. The figure appeared female, with a slender structure and blonde…
