Why should Stanley do work for him‚ and don’t get some rest? “It was far more important for X-Ray to think he was a good guy”‚(Sachar 53). X-Ray was the leader of the group‚ so Stanley was afraid that if X-Ray didn’t think he was a good guy‚ his group will beat him up. He was scared of them‚ because he was not tough enough. “He felt a flurry of fists against his head and neck”‚(Sachar 135). Zigzag started fighting

There is a town called Beulah‚ which used to be called Fisher’s Hole. The North Creek Road was‚ for some time‚ the only practical route into the Fisher’s Hole. The route used several times in this story was a horseback trail that western people frequently used. In the beginning of the story‚ I did not feel that the background was very realistic. However‚ as the

The Frog in the Hole — Devotional By Staff Very recently‚ Nathan (my 12 year old son) and I were in our back yard throwing Frisbee. He has gotten into Frisbee golf (disc golf) and was showing me some of the tosses he had learned. We were having a blast. During this fun time‚ Nathan walked over to a small sink-hole in the ground he had discovered a while back. The hole is about 5 inches in diameter and about 18 inches deep. Peering into the bottom of the hole‚ Nathan exclaimed‚ "The frog is still

Black Holes and Their Mysteries Black holes are one of the most popular Hollywood science fiction topics also one of the most mysterious entities in space. Astronomers still have many questions regarding the darkest entity in space‚ black holes‚ but over time they began to analyze more and more clues and data‚ and are now able to explain what a black hole really is. Astronomers have come up with theories of the formations of black holes‚ the component of black holes as well as many other

A black hole is an object with such a strong gravitational field that even light cannot escape from its surface. A black hole may be formed when a massive object (very big object) undergoes uncontrolled contraction (a collapse) because of the inward pull of its own gravity. We shall now describe how the black holes are formed from neutron stars after the supernova explosions of big stars. When a supernova explosion of a very massive star takes place‚ then the gaseous matter present in the outer shell

The universe is full of vast objects‚ and quite possibly not all have been discovered. Black holes are among one of these that have been discovered and began to take a life of their own. Hollywood has depicted them as a space time traveling device. The truth of the matter is though if you were to be “sucked” into one you would never be able to escape and you would die. A black hole is caused when a red super giant star begins to run out of fuel. The star loses the force pushing itself outward

black hole? How do they form? Why are they invisible? “A black hole is a region of spacetime exhibiting such strong gravitational effects that nothing—including particles and electromagnetic radiation such as light—can escape from inside it. The theory of general relativity predicts that a sufficiently compact mass can deform spacetime to form a black hole.” (Source 1) The collapsing or dying of a star causes the strength of gravity to be so strong that light can’t even escape the black hole. Because

Black holes do not exist—at least‚ not as we know them‚ says renowned physicist Stephen Hawking‚ potentially provoking a rethink of one of space’s most mysterious objects. A new study from Hawking also says that black holes may not possess "firewalls‚" destructive belts of radiation that some researchers have proposed would incinerate anything that passes through them but others scientists deem an impossibility.
