We've been walking for 3 weeks now, and we have found great game, and lots of berries and nuts. There all so delicious, and we have been on the move like this for our whole lives. I love to be on the go with my family, and I don't think I -- "Maya!" called out someone. "Yes mother?" I said. My mother ran towards me. "Maya, your father has made a big decision. You like this area right? So does your father. He wants us to settle in here," she said. I replied, "Sure, we can stay for a couple days." "No, Maya. Your father wants us to stay here for the remainder of our lives," my mother said. I was so shocked. How could my father think of this? What am I going to do? "Um, mother. I think I need a little time to think about this," I said. My mother agreed.
I thought about this area. It was extremely beautiful, especially with the blue waters, and the amazingly terrific food we have been getting. The game stays here, and we don't have to be on the move anymore. However, I have travelled for my whole life. I don't know if I should stay, or move along with the rest of the tribe. But, if I go with my tribe, I'll never see my family again. I have made my decision. I am going to stay here. It is going to change a lot about the way we live, but I can't leave this amazing beauty of a land, with the game, berries, and nuts, too. I'll also never be able to be with my family, and I can't do that either. "Mother!" I called. "I'm going to stay with all of you!"
I tried deciding on a favorite book, and I got one that people might think I'm way too obsessed about, but it's The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. I have never played the game, but now I really want to play it, because the storyline was so interesting, and it pulled me in right away. The beginning starts off with some people in a town awaiting a swordsman to come. The people rushed to the gate, and they didn't see anyone, until they heard a little voice, and they looked down. Little Link was staring up at them, and they thought it was some kind of joke. Link was upset, and showed them the Ocarina of Time, which is from the royal family of Princess Zelda. Everyone still underestimated him a little bit though. Link proved himself, and he beat everyone, even his own teacher. People were surprised at how amazing he was, and then he left to go find his friend. That friend is Navi. She was his little travelling companion. On the way, some kid wearing a mask showed up, stole the Ocarina of Time, my horse, and left behind a little fairy. It wasn't Navi.The fairy's name was Tatl. She became his travelling companion for this adventure, and they decided to go get him, whose name is Skull Kid. We chased him around, and then he put us into a different body -- on of the Deku's. We got entered into a different town, and we met a nice lady named Anju. She was waiting for her fiancee, Kafei, to come back. There are many myths that the moon is going to fall. People were really scared, and running. Link decided to help, and he finally found the Ocarina of Time, and he played it, and then time went backwards. He wasn't a Deku anymore! Link was overjoyed, and he realized he had the mask of a Deku, meaning he could become one when he wanted to. On the way to help Anju find Kafei, Link encounters many different people along the way, including Gorons, Dekus, and Zoras. He wears the masks of them, and helps all of them in their problems. Then, he finally approaches the place where the moon was about to fall. On the way there, Link found a kid in a mask. It wasn't Skull Kid, or any kid at all. It was Kafei.Link asked Kafei what happened, and he said Skull Kid turned him into a child. Link realizes the mask Skull Kid is wearing is overpowering him with evil. The great giants of Termina helped Link when the moon was about to fall. Skull Kid was out of his mask, and crying. Those giants were his so-called friends. But -- his mask was floating. This was Majora's Mask. Link was not too shocked that the mask had a mind of its own. The mask wanted to play around with Link, and Link pulls out his fierce deity mask. Link puts it on, and becomes a fierce deity. With this power, Link won the battle, and Anju and Kafei got married. Link will never forget the day when he s
Many people have heard of the Revolution, Colonial, Reformation, and the Crusade time periods. What about the Scientific Revolution? Why is that important at all? What did it do for us? Many people do not know, but the scientific revolution was one of the most important things in history. We discovered so many great things about the world, and about different and new instruments that could help us in learning about things in the world of science, and see what really is behind everything.
The scientific revolution is the foundation of modern science. People were thinking about what Aristotle had said, and that the earth was the center of the universe, in which Copernicus thought was incorrect. He could never prove his theory, but Galileo did. He studied and observed the world, and looked around at the things that were happening. He wrote down his observations, and he found out that the sun was in the center of the universe, and not the earth. The church thought he was going against them, because they thought he was trying to against the Bible, but he wasn't. Galileo had found out about the earth, and how it was not the center of the universe. Sir Isaac Newton discovered the laws of motion, not theories, because he proved them so many times. The things that kept on continuing like this helped the start of the scientific revolution.
When Martin Luther was alive during the Reformation, he wrote 95 issues to the Pope about he thought was wrong about the church. What about us? We were asked to write 5 issues that we have right now. One of them for me, is homework checking. In all our classes, we don't actually check if they are finished with their homework or not. In computers, we take notes on videos in our classes. We don't get our notes checked, which I think we should, because we shouldn't have people saying that they did their notes, when they actually didn't, and then they don't know how to do the assignments. Another thing about the homework, is students could be doing their homework right that minute. Another thing is about help that students need. Some students don't ask for help, so they just do something, and it turns out to be wrong. Instead of putting them in Homework Lab, the teachers should assign them a "help" time to come into the class, and then get help. This will help them learn more about the subjects, and their grades would get much better. Also, a different issue is the time constraints. Some projects are due for a while, and students forget about them, so the teachers should be reminding them everyday, so students don't realize that they have a project, and they end up doing it the day before it's due. A different issue would be the homework lab policy. If something small is sending you to homework lab, that isn't really that bad. If it was a short assignment, and it was forgotten, they should stay in for a detention at break instead of having to go to homework lab. My final and fifth issue would be with P.E., because there should be homework to practice doing pushups and situps before testing week. These are my 5 issues t
