The Strangest Things

wouldn’t be able to take care of the child forever and she knew it. She didn’t have the persuasion powers her grandmother possessed, but she had a few tricks of her own. She went to the store, gathered the things she’d need for the baby, then distracted the clerk long enough to walk out with the things. Baby…

Kids should not be given a participation awards because in giving a kid an award just for participating they won’t learn the importance of trying their hardest and try to be the best. Although others (particularly parents) may argue that it is a good thing to give every kid a trophy, because if you don’t some kids may feel left out or not appreciated. There are many positive effects that giving out participation awards give to children. But, there are just as many if not more negative effects to…

top of someone. It was not just his imagination he actually was. A rather attractive looking yet oddly dressed blond male. “Oh my god I’m so sorry!” Kit scrambled off him and backing away. He then noticed that he was one not shot which was a good thing and two that he was in some field of some sort. Wait where in the hell was he?! “Am I dead?” He voiced aloud. He and well the man he fell on top were not the only people there. He saw to his relief, surprise, and maybe horror that his older…

misconception it is beneficial for them to learn through inquiry. To begin to help the students dispel the misconception I would start by with the engage phase. In the engage phase I would show the students a bunch of pictures on living and non-living things. Then I would ask them if the object is living or non-living. I will let them discuss their answers. Then I will make a list on the board on the reasoning behind what they consider living. For the explore phase I will have the students…

popular girl at school, has multiple boyfriends, and is known for her beauty and laughter. She takes pride in the little things in life, just like her mother. On the other side, Meg is a very awkward kind of girl, instead of living in a fantasy world like her sister, she pays attention to the logic of everything, like her father. They believe that if they get excited about the little things, then they will keep the big ones from coming. You could say, they are quite the opposite, but in every…

Even their names help to convey this, Horrocks sounds very simple and English whereas Raut sounds European and slightly more upper class. The story is set in three key places, in a garden, a railway crossing, and an iron works, which all have their individual gothic elements. The garden is portrayed as a dark, still place, with an atmospheric sky looming overhead, the railway crossing is where Raut experiences a near death incident, but oddly enough Horrocks saves him, then the final…

hand, Dally is tough. Most likely the toughest of the gang. He loves to fight and does not hesitate to do so. Dallas will fight over the littlest things and even members of his own gang are afraid of him. He goes looking for trouble and fights he can join because he “was of the breed that could take anything, because he was hard and tough” (88). Things did not bother Dallas as they bothered Johnny. He is strong and not afraid to go at someone. Dallas believed that greasers have to be tough so…

The reader pleads for someone to stand up and demand justice for the child but they are disappointed to find that the most “noble” thing done is that they walk away and pretend that because they are not there, it does not exist. Rather than having a traditional ending where everyone is happy, Le Guin uses a more simple arrangement and in doing so, the attention of the reader is focused…

When I had arrived I knew that I might be possibly walking into a lion’s den after what had happened last Friday so my guard was definitely up. A cold war was one thing, but after I had messed up Keri’s face and split open Hallie’s lip I reckoned at least on their part they’d want retribution and vengeance had. I had no doubt what-so-ever though that Keri and Hallie had by now recruited Harlin, Erik, and Donnie to…

believe that I can do something well. Any flaw, no matter how insignificant or nonexistent it may be, I will focus on. It will be on my mind well after I present, and it will lead me into whatever speech I may have to give afterwards. While it is a good thing to take in consideration what it is that you do well and what it is that you could do better, as I learned in this class, you never should focus on one if you have any plans on improving. On one hand, you may see yourself as a communication…
