must not, cannot and will not ever harm the sheep” (Grossman 2). Austin simply does not have the ability to harm people, animals, plants, or even rocks. For example, we went geode hunting this summer and naturally, when we were finished, we smashed them to see the crystals inside. For most, this is the most exciting part of geode hunting, but Austin found it to be unbearable. He could not smash the rocks because he claimed, “it hurt [his] feelings”. However, when it comes to innocent people, Austin

Kyle does justice and Arnold is unlawful. Kyle will always follow the rules and never break the law. He will only do what he’s not told to do if it's for the good of things. The time when Kyle saved Allison from the abductor by hitting him with the geode. He broke his parents rules to save someone. Arnold on the other hand doesn’t do justice. His main goal is to abduct Connie and possibly rape her. Also,

biology. I would put that stethoscope on everything. My animals weren’t excluded from this, even the hamster. That one was a bit difficult. But when I aged my career interests jumped around for a little bit. I was interested in rock formations; I love geodes. I also love crystals and gemstones. I have a small collection. I liked the thought that you can go though the layers of the Earth and I “see” the past, but also predict the future behaviors of the Earth from what you found in the patterns of the

William Least Heat-Moon’s “From Blue Highways” portrays the solution to Heat-Moon’s mid-life crisis, making the story’s primary purpose self-expression. Heat-Moon’s journey to find out more about the town Nameless teaches him valuable life lessons that have the potential to help him out of his mid-life crisis. On the road to Nameless, Heat-Moon encounters a factory worker who farms to remember the humble past. Heat-Moon asks if the factory worker ever “‘wish[es] it was still the old way’” to which

The Canyon Within A green oasis lies much closer to us than one might think. Everyone kept talking about how much different the canyon, or even the outdoors where it is quiet enough to think. Others might also think that it is just a dark, black forest with either no life or only dangerous life. Some may also think that it is just a few hills with a couple of pine trees on them. Perhaps some may think that it is just a waste of valuable land. If this is the case, one may not know what they

Money is a massive part of everyone’s life. Without it, we couldn’t get anywhere. That 's why we have coins, dollars, and credit cards – a currency. The way we use money is simple – you provide the right amount of money based on the cost or productivity of the product you are purchasing. But there is a new way to actually make a transaction that is different than money. But there is a new way on how you can actually transact that money.

Underneath the driftwood were several layers of ruffled purple silk tablecloth. On top of the tablecloth were several crystals and geodes that made the table look beautiful. The combination of

we must be specific because we want our readers to feel, experience, hear, taste, and smell the same way we do it. One strategy that teachers can use to help students go beyond simple words is “cracking open words.” Teachers can bring a geode rock into class to make the metaphor of cracking open writing more tangible. Teachers can ask students to do a list of words that are overused in their writing. After doing the list, students can work independently on their own writing. Then, students

Geography is another of Nathan’s favorite science subjects. He enjoys locating geographical features on maps and globes, and readily identifies cardinal points, land masses and bodies of water. He also studies different types of maps (physical, political, and road) to learn various legend keys. We’ve covered physical and political features such as major rivers, mountain ranges, and most powerful countries. All places discussed during our history lessons, routine conversations, and news stories also

Change can be seen as a form of transformation or conversion. A form of change can be seen in “Victory Lap” by George Saunders, a short story written in such a way that the events that are enrolling throughout the story are being processed and told through the minds of three main characters. Having the perspective of each character allows us, the readers to get a much greater understanding about them and to make a better character analysis. Having said that, this story is simply about a girl, Alison
