The Day the Earth Stopped

Imagine knowing everything about the earth, including why there are natural phenomenon. Now imagine knowing nothing, not a single concept about the earth. In Homer’s epic poem, The Odyssey, a father has to encounter several natural phenomenon to get back to his family. This is extremely difficult for Odysseus to accomplish, being his greatest weakness is pride. Odysseus has only met his son once, in addition, he hasn’t seen him for about twenty years. He hasn’t been there to witness his child…

Turtle’s Adventure Long before today, when the earth was untainted by the clatter and clamor of humans, animals lived in peace. There was harmony among all living creatures and everyone mattered. Everyone in the forest had a place and they were all happy. Turtle was one of these creatures who lived in peace and was always happy. He was average in size and closely resembled a lizard in all aspects of his physical appearance. “Look at Turtle go,” the other forest animals would say in awe as he…

In our day and age, the debate on creation vs evolution is a debate that you will hear a lot in our society. Within my 15 years on this earth, there is a question which I continuously see popping up in my head. “What is the truth?”. The more and more I thought about this question, the harder it became to answer. I would over-think the whole concept, and start pondering ridiculous theories.

through a gas mask to filter all the chemicals in the air. Visualize walking outside and all that could be seen is massive mountains of toxic garbage and pollution.

It has made oxygen, carbon, iron, zinc and many other needed elements, essential for our existence. Through luck it removed violent massive creatures from its face with a rock that fell from the sky.

talks about what they were, why they happened, the reason the stopped, the witches of today, and a story of a witch named Lady Alice Kyteler. The Salem Witch Trials started from fear but stopped because people realised that they were killing innocent women. The Salem Witch Trials were court hearings for people who were thought to be witches. Twenty or more people were either hanged or burned. A year or two later the madness finally stopped.
