la boca y cepillarse los dientes!" I exclaimed while demonstrating tooth brushing motions on a giant plastic mouth. The crowd of twenty Ecuadorian children looked up at me in amazement, and, following my directions, put their new toothbrush with toothpaste into their mouth, and started scrubbing their teeth. The kids ranged from 4 to 16 years old and for many this was their first time brushing their teeth. Afterward, it was the kids turn to teach us something. We sat in a circle and played “Paso…

01 and Kepler 438b. Robots? No problem! Just load them into a small rocket and let them loose. Humans? That’s a different story. Us humans need food. And water. And our ecosystem. And room to stretch. And of course our human “”necessities”, like toothpaste. Or spare clothes. And we need to bring them back, so spare parts and extra rocket fuel too.

Volcanoes: Destruction Makers Natural disasters are tragic events caused by nature that have a negative impact on man. Volcanoes can be considered one of the worst types of natural disasters because they often kill people, injure people, and/or destroy property.

perfect or close to it and that is the reason why I had such a hard time getting started on the essay or even writing an essay. The other three articles I didn’t find them beneficial in any way but interesting. A brush with reality I found out what toothpaste really consists of, why it’s so expensive, and why it is harmful to digest. A secret life on the McJob made me realize when working at a fast food restaurant the demeanor of the employee often resembles the manager. Don’t complain about the…

Montag is becoming emotional just as he was when he cried many years ago on the beach. This is not entirely the fault of Montag, as his futuristic society has made it difficult for people to learn and retain information, thus creating the sieve.
