Academic Language Week 16 - Credit Card Restrictions

I think that there should be more restrictions on credit card use. One reason is that some younger people are to immature and they wont be able to pay off their INCOME taxes and loans that they owe. Another reason is that some people don't need a credit card to make credit because they can just FINANCE a car so that way they can make credit. Lastly, the countries ECONOMY has not been good lately because people have not been paying their lately taxes and loans. That is why I think that there should be more restrictions on credit card use.

“The Skull and the Arrow” In the Cave

I was barely making it, I just got beaten and beaten until they thought I was dead. I was staggering and in extinguishing pain. I thought I wasn't going to make it, until I saw the cave. I knew I was going to make it once I made it to the cave, I knew I was going to be alright. I grabbed some dry branches and twigs that were in the cave, and after searching the wet muddy clothes I had on, I found a match. I searched the cave and found a pot. Then I went and let the pot sit outside and fill up with water. Once it was filled up with water, I put it on top of the fire. Then I put my head in the hot water so my bruises wont hurt as much and go numb. After doing that I looked around the cave and I found a bear skull with something in the eye socket. I pulled out that something and it turns out to be a perfect arrow head. I looked around and I see no bones of a human but all I see is broken bones of a bear. By seeing this it gave me new courage, the man took down his enemy even though he was close to death and he won. After about three weeks on surviving with little amounts of things he could use. He finally decided to go over to the village and fight for justice. As he made it to the village he stood up for himself and his friends, alongside with the townsfolk.

“The Grandfather” Symbol of My Significant Person

My significant person is my sister Nicki. The item that symbolizes her the most is fire. One similarity is that she is pretty but can be mean most of the time, if you make her mad. Another similarity is that she can shine very brightly, like fire, if you can use it the right way it can be used to lighten your own way, and can help if you use it the right way. Lastly, she can be very dangerous, and can ruin and damage a lot of things, like how fires can burn down forests, houses, farms, and can kill humans,  animals, and earth life.

“The Grandfather” Before Important Person

The person who means a great deal to me is my sister. My sister is the type to be more of an adult in a situation, she can be serious when its the time to be serious, and can be fun when its time to be fun. She is also very mature. She's important to me because she is my sister, and she has done a lot of things for me. She also has given me a lot of company. The current relationship with my sister is like a very strong bond. I try to call her everyday, and she sends me gifts sometimes.

Symbolism: Symbol of Self

A symbol of Christmas that symbolizes me is Christmas lights. One reason is because someone told me that I just stand still and never go out, unless if the batteries die, eventually you can get used to it, and sleep through it, but it never goes out and bring a lot of happiness to people. Another reason is because I light up a room, like Christmas lights do. Lastly, I make people smile, like how a lot of Christmas lights make people smile when they enter a room. That is why I think, and other people think that Christmas lights symbolizes me.

Academic Language Week 14 - Cloning

There are different facts whether human beings should be cloned. One reason is that some people misinterpreted the CONTEXT that cloning might be helpful to certain things, like embryonic stem cells, or grow replacement human organ tissue from scratch. Another reason is that they need to EVALUATE the experiments, so that way when they do cloning it can be done the right way. Lastly, people need to EQUATE cloning with humans, because some people don't understand the difference between human beings and clones. That is why I think that human beings should be cloned, once they perfect the cloning material.
