I said “GUMP?” and gestured to him to run. The bear ran up to him and he stabbed it with his spear, and he fought it off for as long as he could. The bear swiftly killed him with its giant claws, and ran up to the rest of us.”GROOOOOOOOOOOO!” I yelled as I watched him die. Running as fast as we can.…

About an hour later the animals arrived and everyone surrounded the cages with the tigers and lions. Everyone was so close to the cage that it started cause the lock to go loose and eventually the lock broke and the animals escaped the cages and attacked the students. One by one the students were eaten by the animals, Geoff’s first move was to run but he eventually he realized that if he ran away and didn’t save anyone he would feel guilty, so Geoff started to attack the tigers by lifting them one by one and throwing them back into the cage and for the students that were eaten they were still alive in the tiger's stomach so he punched its stomach and all the students came out alive with only a few scratches. Geoff carried on to the lions and did the same thing but this time he made sure the lock was on properly so the animals could not escape from the…
The first hour and a half we listened to the birds and watched the squirrels eat away at the trail mix. The sight of this made me hungry so I got out my peanut butter sandwich and red Gatorade. Around 4:45, I was lightly sleeping when I heard a loud snap from a few hundred yards away. My mind began racing as I tried to figure out what could have made that noise. Every couple minutes I could hear another branch break and it was getting closer and closer. An hour later the noise had moved from a few hundred yards in front of us to less than 30 yards behind us. “Don’t move” my dad whispered. We could hear leaves crunching under the feet of whatever was behind us. The noise continued onto the path that leads right to the bait pile. I slowly turned my head to the left and saw a 325-pound bear with a furry, black coat. Instantly my breathing became heavy, my whole body was shaking and my heart was about to pound out of my chest. I grabbed by gun and raised it to my shoulder, almost dropping it from all my shaking. I rested my Remington pump shotgun on the chilly aluminum edge of the Rivers Edge tree stand. “Click” I took the safety off of my shotgun and looked down the iron sights. The bear was licking the frosting on top of the white cedar log. BANG! The bear spun and took off into the thick green underbrush and fell after 20 yards. I couldn’t believe it; I was so excited. My dad and I waited 30 minutes and then we got down from the tree stand and followed the trail to where the bear was laying. I reached down and touched the smooth, plush coat of the bear, thanking it for the meat it would provide for my…
Firstly, When I used to live in New York, my school didn't commemorate the Holocaust and I didn't know much about it. Therefore I am very happy that Shaarei Bina welcomes and commemorates the Holocaust. On top of that, I am very happy that Shaarei Bina, took us to this very memorial, heartbreaking trip. Although the atmosphere was very dismal, it is very important to learn about such a history shocking event. The video that the Holocaust Memorial offered us was very sad, informative and showed a little aspect of how the outside world or the Nazis abhorred the Jews.…

While people worship the Santa Claus, religions focus more on their origins.

Bibliography: and Memory Laboratory where the conduct studies of the effects of video game exposure to a person affects his cognitive control. The paper is about how video games affect a person 's ability to relate with others. It focuses on the how video gaming experiences contribute to negative proactive cognitive control. This read gave me an idea on why some gamers were socially inclined, while others prefer to stay in the background and just stay quiet and be alone. This one focuses on behavior around other people. I like it because I’ve always misunderstood gamers, and the others do not explain much about their relational skills.…
The concept of dangerous knowledge has existed in literature since the Bible, with famous tales of Adam and Eve being tempted to indulge in the forbidden fruit that is knowledge. Dangerous and forbidden knowledge is one of the core themes of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein as it drives the narrator, Victor Frankenstein, to his demise in the creation of his abhorrent monster. The desire to know and understand the world around oneself is even shared by Frankenstein’s monster as well, and ultimately leads to his rejection from society. Mary Shelley establishes the theme of dangerous knowledge in her novel by introducing Victor Frankenstein’s character as a boy that thirsts for an understanding of the relationship…
