one jumped, the other had to jump twice as high. One day their competitiveness had gone too far. As usual they could be found in the field romping and playing. This day was like no other though. The two brothers were playing with rocks and were seeing who could throw theirs the furthest. Josephus went first and threw his rock high and far. It landed on the other side of the field. Next was Tomas. He got ready to throw the rock and launched it across the sky. It went further and further into the deep
all living creatures. They control when it is day or night, which season it is, and the weather. They fascinate humans and a considerable amount of mythology has been dedicated to the creation of the sun and moon and why or how they travel across the sky during the day and night. This paper will discuss and compare some of these myths and the gods attributed to their care and existence. The sun and the moon are such influential powers that the creation of them is right along with the creation of the
It is unethical for CEOs to be paid absurdly high amounts of money. How much a CEO actually impacts a company’s value is debatable. To make sure corporations are getting a good return on their investment they could give a base salary plus offer CEOs stock options. The positive is that CEOs would be partially compensated based on actual performance. The negative is one may create a situation where CEOs feel the need to do unethical things to guarantee a positive return. Either way it is difficult
beautiful blue bonnets, which traveled for miles like little blue birds flying close to the ground. The warm breeze brushed across the tips of the blue bonnets and allowed them to dance under the perfectly clear blue sky. In the distance, however, we could see darkness. A rumbling sky was quickly approaching. We continued down the infinitely long interstate towards our destination. Thunder clouds continued to rumble in, like an ocean tide rolling closer and closer to the beach front. Within minutes
collided with the tears on her face as they streamed out of her dark brown eyes and onto the dirt path beneath her. She looks to down from the crying sky and left to she her house blending into the forest surrounding them. She stares at it for awhile wondering if she should go inside and try to sleep or stay in the pouring rain watching the starless night sky. She stands there for what seemed like hours before pivoting on her heel and
Perfectly Content Nowhere on Earth I feel more content than nightfall on the beach in Cape San Blas, Florida. As the sun starts to creep away below the ocean view, I have time to appreciate the hand painted sky and attempt to capture pictures of it’s beauty. It also gives me to consider who I am and who I aspire to be. The beach is exquisite any time of day, however, when dusk arrives, that is when I feel perfectly content. The sunsets over the water seem as if they hopped right out of one of Leonid
The sun is shining, and the sky is crystal clear. The air around me is crisp and cool, reminding me that autumn is just around the corner. Trout season at the Chattahoochee River is coming to a close. I know that today is the day that I will catch my first fish ever. I walk along the worn trail that leads towards a popular fishing spot at the Chattahoochee, a broad boulder looking over the river. I feel rejuvenated, away from my busy life, away from school, away from all the happenings of the world
pierced through my frigid skin and gave me an instant boost of warmth. The sun worked its way up the sky, presenting its power to everything in its sight. All of the birds were singing in my ear with high spirits, flying through the sky trying to claim it for itself. The sky shed its color from a dark, misty blue-green color, to a bright glistening blue sky. Fluffy clumps of clouds that were covering the sky before, seemed to slowly disappear into thin air, causing the crystal-clear waves to sparkle like
my shoes as I walk into the shallow water to help cool down. Looking down at my toes, I watch the tide flow up and down the bank. I pull myself from my thoughts as the sky alights into a canvas of pale peach and popping-pink layered over the incandescent sun. It is mesmerizing to watch as the deep indigo of the night sky and the shining silver of the moon fades away into a soft periwinkle. The sun’s rays illuminate the clouds, making them look like glowing coral fairy floss from the town fair
problem to be solved, we take it as an initiative to go look for answers. We observe and wonder, leading to the discovery of many possible solutions. The possibility of the trail being left by airplanes being top-secret government projects is relatively high. Tests have proven that the number of harmful chemicals and aerosols have increased in our environment. The blame has been put on chemtrails, similar to regular airplane contrails, but these release harmful chemicals that affect the environment, risking
to catch the horses. The horses are all excited because it is dark and they are not that cooperative. My dad and I get them saddled and in the trailer, and go back into the house to get our lunch, water, and a cup of coffee. Now, we can head for the high country. It is still dark when we get there, so our horses are still very alert; they keep moving around and snorting with eyes wide and nostrils flared. I strap my pistol to my hips and tie the tip of the holster to my leg so it doesn't flop
raindrops falling on the ground. Together, they compose a brilliant song of nature. No din from the high-school students, no irritating noise from the car. No one, not even a soul dares to make a sound to disturb this moment. Everything is silent, as if it isn’t even alive, just like a ghost street that only emerges in the mid-night and will vanish when the first sunlight strikes down from the sky. Wet dirt mixes with the smells of perfumes that left behind by people suffuse the air. Making me think
this structure was to be found the smallest of schools. Inside was a defeated writer who had been forced to settle to teaching Creative Writing. Kaspereen was a freshman teacher at Bird’s Nest High School. As he unraveled the window blinds, the yellow shining sun started rising from the ground. It filled the sky with mighty colors of red and splashed the clouds with endless rays of pink.
it’s not me. I’m just a random guy who happened to have his car break down. Trust me”, Alex explained, sounding unsteady and scared by the reaction from Rellik. In a few seconds, Rellik’s blank, straight faced expression turned into a smirked look. High pitched, Rellik laughed and before Alex could understand why, he struck a clean blow straight to his temple. Alex was smart but not smart enough. He was too busy justifying himself and not realising that Rellik too fit the description read out by the
