A Summary Of Bersko's Mission

The world has experienced very many huge moments, such big moments in which sometimes you don’t think it’s really happening. October 4, 1957, was one of those days. Because that was the day the world changed forever and there was no turning back. It was the day of the Sputnik launch. Sputnik was a Soviet satellite that orbited in the earth’s rotation 500 miles above the earth and traveling at about 18,000 mph. It took approximately 98 minutes for it to rotate the earth which meant it passed the United States seven times a day. It looked like it was from a whole another world or out of a movie or a fantasy story. It consisted of a ball with four stem like structures coming out and pointing down at the ground. The ball like structure

According to Blake this creature has a special "inner" source of energy which distinguishes its existence from the cold and dark world of inanimate things (Blake 3). There is also an essence of the devil in the tiger. William Blake points this out by using words like furnace and just by him picking a tiger. There are many other violent predators out in the jungle but he chose the tiger because of its bright orange and black. When it runs it looks like a fireball. In line twenty of "The Tyger," William Blake says, "Did He who make the lamb make thee?" (Blake 539). What he is wondering is if he made such an innocent creature like the lamb how could he make a beast like the tiger?

     Tigers are getting more and more scarce. In the world today, there are about 12 Javan tigers still alive, and less than 110 Siberian tigers. Their only needs in life are water, food, and shade, so this is definitely not the cause of their near extinction. The number of tigers in the world is decreasing because of hunters that like the fur. Tigers are rarely shot for attacking humans, for they

After World War II drew to a close in the mid-20th century, a new conflict began. Known as the Cold War, this battle involved the two world’s greatest powers the democratic and capitalist United States against the communist Soviet Union. Beginning later in the 1950s, space would eventually become another very dramatic arena for competition between the U.S and U.S.S.R, each side looked to prove the superiority of their own technology, along with its military firepower and of course their political-economic systems. Sputnik, name of the first of several artificial satellites launched by the Soviet Union from 1957 to 1961. Successfully launched and entered Earth 's orbit. Thus, beginning the space age. The successful launch shocked the

When Pi and Ravi’s father was telling them about staying away from tigers he said “Tigers are very dangerous. I want you to understand that you are never—under any circumstances—to touch a tiger, to pet a tiger, to put your hands through the bars of a cage, even to get close to a cage. Is that clear?” (37) This evidence indicates that

Another fifteen minutes passed and Mrs. Harland hollered up at to him once more, “Devon, I just heard your father’s train is running behind. I guess they’ve run into a bit of an issue with the runic generator—or something—anyways, we’ve got to get going. I’m sure he’ll be hungry when he gets home.”

"Call me Nammi for now, and you can see about getting any other details after we make it out of this mess." she spoke as her hands tightened the straps on her harness and her hands flipped a few switches on the dash. The engines were primed and ready for action, the main controls responded well enough. Though the ride still wasn't smooth, not with the way she was trying to thread the old rig through the cross fire.

Thank you Stephanie for sharing your comments! I enjoyed learning more about the Cold War. The United States was also affected during the time of the Sputnik. The Sputnik affected people in many ways. Some people feared the Sputnik. For some people, it provided a sense of hope at some point. People may have wanted to learn more at this time. People may have also wanted to learn more about the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. It is important for people to learn more about these things, when it pertains to science and culture. Did you learn anything about Sputnik that will help you in the

The road was narrower, and bumpy, apparently no longer tended by road crews. It was harder, suddenly, to balance on the bike, as the front wheel

Stanislaus patted Johnny on the head and thanked him in his broken English. The rest of Karolina’s family also thanked him. Johnnie turned to go but took one last look at the tired immigrants as they walked quickly to their train. A new lightning train had just started service between Cleveland and Cincinnati and promised to cut the travel time to eight hours. They would have to hurry before the train left without them or they would need to spend another night in the drafty train station. He felt sorry for them as they continued on their

When this student was creating the Kanban board she discovered that her brain went blank! Suddenly she could not remember all that she needed to do, etc. It was reminiscent of going to the grocery store without a list! Suddenly one cannot recall what they went to the store to get. The feeling that she was forgetting all that she needed to do was frustrating. She knew there was more that she had to do and more that she was doing and more that she had done, but she was distracted by the multiple things going on in her life.

For the last several years I’ve been involved in surgical medical missions as a registered nurse with an operating room speciality. At this point in my life, with my four children off on their own, I can offer my time and services to go places that do not have the medical care we have access to in the U.S.

My identification number is 9777, but everyone here affectionately calls me Sevens. I have been living in hell for the last six months, or as our supervisors call it, the Exodus Rehabilitation Center. We are here to be prepared for “a mission of the highest honor”, but we all know that is a lie. They have been feeding us some propaganda that we will be a part of historic mission that will help unite our planet, when in reality we are the last ditch effort to save us.

For Pyro the day was progressing normally. He was feeding the horses giving them water and cleaning the horse stalls. His leader walks up to him and bears grave news. He says “Pyro I regret to inform you that your family has had an accident. They swam far out from land and became exhausted.” Said his leader. “And what?” Said Pyro in a concerning tone. “I regret to inform you that they have drowned.” Said his leader. “I understand.” Said Pyro in agony. “There was nothing you could have done.”
