The On The Begging Of Time

Some of the birds wanted all land so they would have more food.  Other birds wanted all water because they liked it that way.  They eventually could not decide so they appointed Eagle as their chief and he was to decide for them.  The Eagle decided on land and then asked who would go and search for the land.  The Dove volunteered and flew away.  He came back after four days and said that he could not find land anywhere.  The Crawfish came along and Eagle asked him if he would go.  The Crawfish disappeared under the water and after four days came up to the surface with some dirt in his claws.  Crawfish made a ball of the dirt and handed it to Chief Eagle, who flew away with it for four days.  When Eagle returned he told the council that there was now land and that an island had been formed.  Gradually, the island grew bigger and bigger and the water became lower and lower.  More islands appeared and grew together forming the earth. (Manasco, 1985)

The earth was very flat and was still extremely soft, but the animals were ready to come down, so they sent birds to see if the earth was dry

He had found this place that would be called Earth. The place for all beings. A fiery red horse galloped past small horse and created a river beside him. The fish that had spoken to Small Horse before swam up to him. “Small Horse, forgive me for ever doubting you, as you have found a home not only for me but for us all. You are not just large to me, it seems, you are just large. And you have used your power for good, I will never be able to repay you.” The small horse assured the fish that there was no need to repay him, for the Earth was not just for the fish, but for himself as well. And for the moon people, the land animals, the flight beings, and the rest of the sea creatures, this place was

“The Story of an Hour” is a story that in a few pages creates commentary, emotions, and thoughts about a simple yet very important part of every civilization. It is quite amazing that a short story written over a hundred years ago is still relevant to our society today. Every successful civilization has had some form of marriage, and while this story is to many criticizing the institution of marriage, I believe that people could see this dichotomy of oppressor vs oppressed that this story tries to bring to the forefront and instead find a theme of freedom and responsibility that was not intended by the author.

This time I am sure I changed. Learning from my mistakes and failures. To start off I had changed the layout of FW5. Reading the rubric came as a shock. It finally made sense on how I was stumbling on. So with that in mind I started utilizing transitions. As I used transitions, moving between ideas became significantly less awkward. I also came to learn variations between sentences helped. I changed my sentences to intricate or minimalistic, style of sentences or formating. Looking back i realized i used evidence wrongly. The ideas were unsupportive or jumbled. It became helpful to use idea organizers or mind maps. Using this new knowledge I rewritten my FW5 with a little more

Epicurus once said, “He who is not satisfied with little is satisfied with nothing.” Mr. Peters, from Joan Aiken’s “The Third Wish”, learns this lesson throughout the story. In the beginning, he earns three wishes and uses one to ask for a wife. However, Mr. Peters soon realizes his wife, Leita, is becoming depressed and she misses her home. After some time, he can't bear to see her so lonely.

Author Joan Aiken once said, “human beings and swans are better in their own shapes.” In The Third Wish, Mr. Peters realizes that you can’t change someone’s character. The Third Wish by Joan Aiken demonstrates how you can’t change someone’s character. In the text it says, “ ‘Is it so hard to be a human being?’ asked Mr. Peters sadly. ‘Very, very hard’ she answered” (Leita is the one answering).This shows how hard it is for Leita to become a human. The short story, The Third Wish, is about a person name Mr. Peters who saves a swan and gets three wishes from it. He decides to use them very wisely; his first wish is for a wife, because he’s lonely. The wish works and he gets what he wants, but soon he realizes that Leita, his wife, is not happy. She misses her old life in the forest and being separated from her sister. In the text she says, “this is my sister... I

As the night turned to day, creatures began to awake and go through their daily routines. Frogs began to hunt for flies, and flies hunt for their own food.With the many creatures that depend on

Asir Sinafe sat at his desk, looking over the reports of the new universe system his people, the Veltreni, had discovered. This new system had plenty of planets to evaluate for the next Culmination.

Meanwhile, the cloud churns and begins to rotate in one direction, the cloud then flattens out into a disk with the core of the star in the centre. Over time, this disk gets thinner and thinner, forming a protoplanetary disk. The material within the disk starts to stick together, forming small clumps, and grow larger and larger. These clumps are the beginnings of a new planet, a plantesimal.

In life you will encounter many instances where you get betrayed and hurt by people. When people get hurt or betrayed they usually don’t forgive easily, although eventually they do forgive. But some do not forgive what happened and when they do that it is not healthy.

“I have an important announcement,” began the king. “The council of seven has discussed the matter of Jeremy, the flying pig. He was the one who got his wings burned off by lava. The council has reasoned that since Jeremy no longer has wings, it is not fair if any other animal has wings. Therefore, everyone’s wings will be cut off.” There were gasps from the crowd. Quickly, the king’s servants came and quickly cut off almost every animal’s wings. The birds were smart and flew away before they were trapped. They were angry at the king, so they hatched a plan. It was a rebellion. They secretly joined up with the other animals and revolted against the king, who was eventually overthrown. The heroic birds attacked the king’s army and destroyed his burrow. They were honored and were the only animals that got to keep their wings. All animals were made to rule themselves, and everyone was free. It was better that way. Now, most animals don’t have wings, all because of a

However, there will eventually be too many beings for this island if they can reproduce on their own,” Aldric responded. “What if we make islands thousands of times bigger than the island we are on? The beings could spread anywhere they want in the world.”

Sol and Luna lived high in the heavens in their shimmering thrones above Terro, the earth. One day Luna had a baby. That baby's name was Aquara. She grew up in the heavens and slowly developed an aching love for Terro. She watched and watched, then as she grew older she decided to move to be with Terro. They lived intertwined in everlasting love for many years, Aquara surrounding Terro with her devoted emotion.. As time went on Sol realized a problem. He knew that he needed to have a place for beings to live. He couldn't put beings on Terro, for he was covered in Aquara’s long draping navy blue cloak. Sol knew that the only way was to split them apart. One day Sol reached down to Terro and Aquara, and split them apart and placed them side by side. Terro understood and thanked Sol for letting them still be close. Aquara on the other hand, was agonized. Sol placed all the animals down to Terro. He nurtured and nourished them as Aquara sat in silence. Finally she broke down.

Living statues or live statues are referred to people who pose in a statue or mannequin-like of manner and appear to be realistic. Looking back to the history of live statues, it has been seen that this form of art has existed since the medieval and Renaissance times where live statues were a regular feature of festivities and royal entries by rulers during that era. The living statue has also been dated to appear in a scene of the 1945 French film, Les enfants du paradis (Children of Paradise). In the modern century, a German dancer Olga Desmond put on “Evenings of Beauty” (Schönheitsabende) in which she posed in imitation of classical works of art. Apart from that, Staticman, the well-known living statue personality with four world records, is also influential in today’s live statue art where he has organized many live statue festivals and teaches master classes for this art.
