In one particularly disturbing scene, Ishmael and the other child soldiers come across a village that they have considerable trouble taking from the enemy. They were running low on ammunition, so instead of “wasting the bullets” on those men, they decided to hold them at gunpoint and force them to dig their own graves.

In the American Colonies Unit, I learned about the development and structure of the early colonies in America. More specifically, we talked about each colony's economy, government, religion, and history.

In the American Colonies Project, we had to write a first-person narrative about living during the colonial times. For my project, I chose to research about Virginia during the time of Bacon's Rebellion. I chose to research Bacon's Rebellion because I wanted to understand why people 0f Virginia decided to rebel and what went through their minds as they burned Jamestown to the ground.

I have always had an interest in animals, having grown up alongside multiple pets; they have always been a part of my life. However, it wasn't until our beloved family dog fell ill with cancer that I began to realise the huge impact that a vet can have on the lives of both animals and humans and, I too, wanted to be able to help the lives of not only animals, but also the people who love them. My desire to study veterinary science was reinforced during my first work experience at a small animal practice, Vets4Pets. I witnessed several operations, from spays and castrations, to multiple dental procedures and a tumour removal from a Labrador.
