Discovery Creative I traversed across an eternal expanse under a cloak of darkness. A dark road, dark buildings and a pitch black sun. As I walked down Winston Street, I reached out for that familiar pole but found nothing to guide me forward. Voices around me echoed in confusion – through windows, through doors, perhaps right beside me. I knew you pitied me as I cautiously walked down the road. It was your gift to see the light of the sun, dispersing into a brilliant concoction of colours against

Have you ever thought about a world with little to no food? In a world without bees, this could be a possibility. Today, I’ll be talking about the decline in the bee population and how it will affect every single one of us if it continues. I’ve always been interested in bees. After joining my school’s Future Farmers of America group, I started working on entomology, which is the study of bugs. When my group went to the state competition for entomology, I became even more interested in bees and

In the article “In Praise of the Urban Sandbox,” Ferzoco (2011) explored simulation games like Sim City and considered the eventual possibility of these games being used in more meaningful ways. Through the article, the author focused on many meaningful points about gaming that did not simply highlight the game’s use as entertainment, but also went beyond these elements to explore these simulations’ unique features and future potentials. Although Ferzoco’s article was very impressive in exploring

councils. They must have been great places to live in, but only the upper middle class could afford to live in these quaint communities. The concept of suburbia quickly morphed into something far different from country living. Over the years, urban sprawl has created vast suburbs.

Karachi also has a harbor situated on the south-west part of the city which is primarily used for Pakistan’s international trade. The weather tends to be pleasant for the greater part of the year.

The Power of Sixteen Words Exposed in The Red Wheelbarrow            William Carlos Williams's poem "The Red Wheelbarrow" is extraordinary for what it accomplishes within its eight short lines. It is exactly one sentence long, sixteen words. Numbers like that wouldn't normally be important in the consideration of a poem's merit, but "The Red Wheelbarrow" begs to be noticed for its length (or, rather, its lack of length) and for the arrangement
