Every time Margot tries to tell about the sun from earth she does not get believed and gets downplayed from the students. Another theme is about how desire can cause people to hurt or be cruel to the people they are jealous of. The children got wanted to see the sun‚ but when the sun did not come out they thought Margot lied and put they put her in a closet. All

important than the Western Front” When many people think about World War 1‚ they imagine trench warfare with machine guns and tanks. They just think about the Western Front and men conquering bits of land bit by bit to win the war. This was certainly the more publicised part of the war. But what many people missed was the war at sea. What did the ships do to help win the war? Could we have won the war without our navy? And was it even more important than the war on the Western Front? Now even thought

Cold fronts occur when a colder air mass replaces a warmer one. At a cold front‚ the cold air is behind the warm air. Because the cold air is denser‚ it pushes the warm air out of its way‚ forcing the warm air to rise into the atmosphere. * The slope of a typical cold front is 1:100 (vertical to horizontal).

"You’re too quiet" "Why don’t you talk much" "You need to be louder" These are all comments that I here aimed at me on a regular basis and to be perfectly honest. I am sick of it. You never hear people telling loud people that they talk too much and are being serious about it.
