ANTSY DOES TIME by Neil Shusterman 1. Antsy does Time‚ like Unwind‚ has a death theme. Unlike the characters of Unwind where they are being put to death‚ Antsy Does Time explores the prospect of death. From the beginning where there is the accidental death of the balloon handler‚ to the near death of Antsy’s father from a heart attack and the “prospective” death of Gunnar the reader highlights the different reaction of each case. 2. Antsy is my favorite character as he seems very mature

Fort Fights Cancer Week was a project I had to take on by myself the past year. It’s an event that Fort Osage High School puts on to raise money for cancer. Everything was on me including the end result‚ whether that be a success or a failure that would teach me something in the process. I helped organize it in the past‚ as well as other events like such‚ but never had I taken something like that on by myself with no help from really anyone.

I agree with the parents when they say the exchange of donations for grades "sends a morally wrong message". Children shouldn’t grow up assuming every kind action they show needs a reward. When one holds the door open for another should they earn a gold star? Or when a student picks up a dropped pencil for another

In today’s society‚ many people will value materialistic objects more wanting to have the newest technology or the best brand of electronics rather than helping out a person by just giving them a simple smile. Money is spent on things that are not worth spending that may be useful for another occasion. In the text‚ “The Singer Solution to World Poverty‚” Peter Singer persuades the readers on how many will have the opportunity to help out a charity and donate money‚ but people will not take the chance

Whales have an important place in Māori tradition. Several tribes tell of the arrival of their ancestor‚ Paikea‚ on the back of a whale. Although there is debate as to whether Māori hunted whales‚ it is clear they regarded stranded whales as a valuable source of meat‚ and used whale teeth and bones for ornament. Ship-based whaling Māori men were eager recruits for whaling ships‚ as replacements for crew who had deserted; whaling was exciting and an opportunity to see the world. As early as
