or a ring, or some similar gadget. This was also in the days when Oscar Mayer gave away tiny hot-dog-shaped whistles as promotional items. In those days, whistles were pretty popular. Slide whistles were a very common favor at birthday parties. I remember an older cousin came back from the army once, and he had a really cool whistle that played several different notes. It had come out of a box of cracker jacks. My supplier in those days was my grandfather, who conveniently owned a liquor
activity that anyone can take part in. Towns and schools hold annual cardboard boat regattas, judging the entrants on speed, design, and creativity. In New Richmond, Ohio there is even a cardboard boat museum! These special boats are more than just a box thrown into water; they are designed using elements of engineering and physics to make them not only water ready, but fast and durable. Building cardboard boats is an exciting way to incorporate topics studied in the classroom into an exciting educational
Boxes tumbled one after another as my cat blinked out of fear behind it, staring at the boxes. “Tigger!” My mother exclaimed as she rolled her eyes, catching my attention as I poke my head through the archway. “What did he do?” I asked as my mother walked over to the boxes and started to pick up the boxes. “He knocked over these boxes,” she explained as she gave a pointed look to my brown tabby. Sighing, I walked over to help her, kneeling on one knee. “It seems he doesn't want to leave either
You would. My inner voice says No I would not, thank you very much. That is what you are doing right now, isn’t it? Why how rather snarky of you, myself! “Wait, what am I doing? This is weird.” It’s only weird when you make it weird. “Stop talking, I’m trying to do stuff!” I say out loud, beginning to weave vines and leaves together. The voice in my head mimics me, but retreats back. Looks like I won. I continue to gather wood and dry leaves, to make a fire as it is starting to get cold. Right
maybe?” I was startled; I hadn’t expected this kit to work let alone posses my laptop. The voice appeared to not have heard me and a black rectangle appeared on the screen in the middle of the blood red. A cursor was positioned on the far left of the box indicating that it wanted me to type something. My hands shook and seemed to work without my volition and I typed in the first name I could think of: Heidi Olsen. Immediately both the screen and the seance kit went dark. Then, the ouija board went crazy

It was every parent’s worst nightmare. That feeling of uneasiness, not knowing if you’ll ever know the truth, fled the minds of my parents. Two days ago, on November 16, my life flashed before my eyes twice. The first had happened around 7:30 in the evening and I was on my way to my best friends house. I had gone to her house a thousand times before, and I didn’t think this time would be any different. Driving down the highway, the unimaginable happened, I lost control of my car. I had lived through
the boxes that I incorporated with the musical instruments. They used the boxes as a musical instrument by tapping the bottom part of it, using it as a tool to stand, or basically just practicing how to open and close it. When I hid something in the box they kept on opening it and smiling as they opened it. In the room, we had this one big coffee tin can that has holes on the plastic lid. Children would take off the blue plastic lid and pour the small metal lids into the floor. Children would also
Peter Carey’s The Fat Man in History Entrapment and Isolation are common attributes of characters throughout several of the stories in The Fat Man in History. This comes across in many forms, both physical and mental. In most of the stories both entrapment and isolation often the result of the interaction of both. Stories which this theme is apparent are Crabs, Windmill in the West, and A Report on the Shadow Industry. In all of these stories characters are both entrapped and isolated by their

For there where legend of years ago that they had to chooses between the sea and land. They had chosen the sea rather then the land for it was safer out in the water then in land. For what
handed until I spotted the stack of boxes in the far left corner. There was a small wooden box on the top labeled David Walker with black sharpie. This is it. I thought. I sprinted out of the attic holding the box in one hand and the ladder in the other. Out of breath, I plopped down onto my bed, sitting with my legs crossed and the box out in front of me. Answers… Please give me answers. I thought as I opened the box. Inside held a picture of a man with dark skin and short black hair. I assumed this was
Today, we pride ourselves as being a fair and just society. We take advantage of the liberties and freedoms given to us each day. The traditions that lie in our cultures, beliefs and customs, provide us with a sense of security and happiness. However, there is a much different consensus conveyed through the cruel and barbaric customs subsiding in Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery." The unsubstantial ritual of this society reveals te traditions and blind obedience of a small village town. Moreover
A few minutes before we landed at the airport, I looked at the screen in front of me and it showed ‘33°C’. It had been a year since I last experienced that kind of heat and I couldn’t bear it last time, so I wondered how I would cope with the heat this time. As the plane began to slow and turn into terminal, I could hear people around me start to get there belongings together so that they could get off the plane first. People returned the magazines to the rack on the back of the chair in front of
called mediums. Convection is the primary way heat can be transferred through liquids and gases. To classify a heat transfer as convection, hot air has to rise up to equally heat the air around it. Box solar cookers have to retain this hot air to cook food, so the cookers have to have lids with a transparent covering. The transparent covering shuts in all of the hot air and keeps out the cool air. The second heat transfer is the transfer of heat between two objects, or substances, that are directly in
slaves) from Egypt during the reign of the Pharaoh Ramses II. When the Pharaoh Ramses II freed the Israelites, they fled so quickly that there wasn't time to bake their breads. Instead the Israelites packed the raw dough, which they quickly baked in the hot sun into hard crackers called Matzohs as they fled through the desert. The exodus of the Israelites took place over 3000 years ago, but the Israelites were not the first to harness solar power for cooking, neither were they the last. Solar cooking

Go into a movie theatre and you will find they primarily employ young people. However, step into a Wal-Mart or a grocery store and you will find the employees there are, on average, much older than those employed at a movie theatre. Why is this the case? The low wages movie theatres pay, combined with wanting certain demographic working there play a role in this. Additionally, why do most of these people stay in low paying jobs they may not enjoy doing? Using my experience working at a movie theatre
