Seneca Rocks

I scrambled up on the rock. The deer was standing down below feeding in the tall grass. “You ready Rylan?” Justin asked. “No, I need a better rest,” I responded. “Ok,” Justin answered as I slid to another rock. Sure enough this rock was steady. “Ok the safety is off,” I whispered to Justin. Bang! 1 day Earlier … “Those little bucks just keep coming but that 3 point just won’t come!” Todd muttered. We were sitting on a muddy road in Todd’s truck overlooking a small

Ultramafic rocks have special significance, in that they probably are derived from the mantle. They are relatively unstable on the Earth’s surface, and are typically metamorphosed. In nature and in simplistic interpretation, igneous rocks that make up most continental crust typically have a felsic composition (such as rhyolite and granite). The mafic rock basalt is the dominant rock type that makes up most ocean crust. Rocks of intermediate composition are derived from

The Reality of Courage When obstacles strike our lives, we normally want to solve them. We try to brave through these furious storms without realizing what’s on the other side. I moved to Markham during Grade 4 and I found it very difficult to hold onto my childhood friend. Rapidly, my friendship with him slipped like ice right out of my hands. I tried my best to hold on to the last short-lived relationship of my best friend. In the beginning, we still visited each other. Eventually, these visits

The stance that Spinoza has on substance is that there is only one substance, out of which all else is somehow constituated. Substance for the Stoics, is also seen as a monist philosophy. Because Stoics think of “the world as a unitary system that contains all beings” they should be considered substance monism. This is often cited as the clearest example of how Spinoza was most influenced by Stoic philosophy. However, Spinoza states that there is only one substance, but further from that, he unambiguously

Introduction Many parallels have been drawn between the ancient philosophy known as stoicism and early Christian thought. They both believe that what ultimately matters in a person is internal, and that man should not preoccupy himself with earthly belongings. They are both highly individual, and believe that there is one divine force that is ruling the universe. And yet, in spite of some essential similarities, there are aspects where the two philosophies greatly diverge. A peculiar fact is that

In reading Garrett Hardin’s “The Tragedy of the Commons,” and through my participation in the Kivulini Simulation lab completed in class, my knowledge and understanding of the psychological factors that contribute to the logic behind the decisions made by humans that negatively impact the planet we inhabit have significantly expanded. Many of these decisions are made out of ignorance, while others are made despite knowledge of the harm that results from them. There are some ways that I can apply

tragedy is brought about by the pursuit and accomplishment of revenge. In other words, its blood asking for blood. The revenge tragedy was very popular during the Elizabethan and Jacobean periods, and it owned its popularity largely to the influence of Seneca, the ancient Roman dramatist. Revenge tragedy is different from other tragedies in the sense that the whole part of the tragedy will be based on revenge. In Shakespeare’s Macbeth, though Macduff kills Macbeth to avenge the killing of his family, the

Memorable Journey With A Friend On the date of October 27th 2017, me and my friend Tovah were on our way to a cabin in Branson for her birthday. While we were there we went shopping at Tanger Outlets and we went to The Haunted Lost Cavern at Top Of The Rock. Now in the essay below you will read about my memorable journey with my friend Tovah. It was seven o'clock so when we got there so we just watched TV then went to bed. The next day, we went shopping at Tanger Outlets and while we were there we got

on some of the more difficult trails in the Spearfish canyon can be a rude awakening to some beginners. It may also be very dangerous and sometimes even fatal without the right equipment and safety precautions. For example, I could slip on loose rocks as I climb up a steep hill, or have to heave myself over large fallen trees and boulders. The higher I get and ascend on the trail, the steeper it gets and the more things I notice that can go wrong. Through all of this I got more and more tired

In the classroom where I am doing student teaching I have observed students utilizing a science notebook only three times in the school year so far. Some schools have clusters, while other schools integrate science into their curriculum through other subject such as reading and writing. According to one teacher, the students receive science instruction through STEM, which creates more of a focus for her teaching in social studies instead of science. At my assigned school, the students receive instruction
