We Will Rock You

favourite units, but it was interesting and I learned many things about rocks and minerals. At the beginning of the first unit, we had a university professor come in from McMaster University and teach us a lesson on minerals. This was a great way for us to learn a lesson from a different teacher, instead of learning from Mr. Patterson. The professor got us to identify different types of minerals and we briefly got into rock types. We also had a student teacher come in for 4 weeks and he taught…

Hume Lake. This last summer I went to Hume Lake Christian Camp for the first time. This was a life changing experience. The reason that this was life changing included getting closer to my friends by doing things we could not do at home. This included me going on hikes, jumping off of rocks, and lastly talking over some good old milk shakes. The first experience I felt was awesome was how well after I knew my buddies that were in my cabin. Even before going too this camp I knew my entire cabin…

What is the key to finding true happiness, in a world where the choices we make, all to often turn into stories of failure and regret, rather than prosperity and success? In the ancient myth “The Myth of Sisyphus”, the poem “The Road Not Taken”, by Robert Frost, and the sufi tale “When the Waters Changed”, we discover that true fulfilment is not based on making the “right” choices, but finding the bright side of every choice. The Myth of Sisyphus doesn’t just relate to my own life, but the…

“Why Rap Rules and Rock Is in a Rutt,” by Robin Davey, expresses a common view among youth today: Rap music is in and Rock N’ Roll is out. Davey believes that Rock music has lost its gusto and should make way for the more relevant genre of Rap. Although I agree that Rap music is more popular and culturally relevant to our current society, I strongly disagree with Davey in regards to Rock’s inevitable demise. One of Davey’s attitudes towards Rock throughout his editorial expresses that it is…

connections to past genres of music. The more music we make, the more genres we have to choose from. This begs the following question. How we do truly know what type of music we are listening to? Categorizing music correctly today is very troublesome. Labeling a song with the correct genre is difficult because of the mixture of various genres in a particular song. This requires an in-depth analysis to accurately label a song with the right genre. Can we analyze and categorize modern music…

in moist air forms carbonic acid, and this acid reacts with minerals in rocks. chemical weathering tends to be different sorts of chemicals mixed together to form a material. Rust is a good example of what chemical weathering can do. With an increase in temperature, chemical reactions occur more quickly. Smaller rocks have a larger surface area to volume ratio than larger rocks. This means that a larger proportion of the rock is exposed to the forces of weathering. As surface area increases, so…

Therefore, he taught her everything she needed to know about defending herself, like wielding a sword. As Alexo grew up, the more advanced her skills got, the more mature she was getting. One day she was walking through town and she stumbled upon a rock. “Ouch” Alexo Cried. “How may…

of fusion rock music. They are able to combine jam, jazz, metal, progressive rock, reggae, and new wave into a sound that is all their own. On November 11th, 2016, Umphrey’s McGee released an album called “ZONKEY.” This album is contrived of all mashups. All of the mashups are combinations of the band’s influences. Although mashups sometimes seem like a cop-out move, this album does it differently. This album demonstrates how far-reaching their inspirations come from. In each mashup, you can…

believe that Melba and the rest of little rock nine were warriors because no matter what happened through the day they never gave up and always fought back. They fought back without creating more problems. They stood up to the whites only to stand their ground and make them know that it’s not okay to treat people like they were nothing. " I was beginning to resign myself to the fact that white people were definitely in charge, and there was nothing we could do about it." (pg 10), This…

to Titus again the bear got down on all four legs, turned and walked off. “Wow, either the wand worked, or we don’t look very tasty,” Titus said, as he looked up into the trees toward Hootie. After traveling higher up the mountain, Titus and his two companions came to a grassy meadow. Urging the mule to a big rock, “This,” Titus said to the mule as he dismounted, “Is where we will spend the night.” Taking a string and a hook from his pouch, he looked up at Hootie and said," I’ll…
