“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.
