Work to live‚ Don’t live to work By Will Brady This is my response to a QCS(Queensland Core Skills) test. When we walked into the test room we had no idea what we were supposed to write about. We were give the theme of ‘Time’‚ for which we were given a stimulus sheet and 2 hours to write whatever we could. I came up with this.

Two Lessons on Work and Worship‚ Part 1 Luke 10:38-42 A369 The story of Mary and Martha has long been one of the most treasured narratives in the Scripture.

William Shakespeare is known for his complex works involving love‚ and deceit‚ perhaps none as significant as in his play‚ Much Ado About Nothing.

“Buy Nothing Day”‚ a day in which people are urged to purchase no goods‚ has good intentions‚ but may actually have more of a negative effect than a positive one.

I think that the two poems Nothing Gold Can Stay and the poem Abandon Farmhouse have many similarities and many differences. I think the similarities they have in common is that they are both about grief. Also Not one is about happiness. I also think that the poems are both about change.
