MORAL DILEMMA QUESTION
OVER THE SUMMER, YOU BECAME FRIENDS WITH A PERSON WHO MOVED TO YOUR TOWN. YOU SEE THIS PERSON AS TRUSTING AND EASY TO GET ALONG WITH. YOU HAVE THE SAME INTEREST, LIKE THE SAME MUSIC AND MOVIES, AND HAVE HAD A LOT OF FUN TOGETHER.
HOWEVER, YOUR NEW FRIEND IS NOT ATTRACTIVE AND TALKS VERY LOUD. WHEN SCHOOL STARTS, YOU GET EMBARRASSED BY THE WAY YOUR FRIEND ACTS. YOUR FRIENDS AT SCHOOL ARE STARTING TO TALK ABOUT YOU AND YOUR NEW FRIEND. DO YOU REMAIN FRIENDS OR DROP THE RELATIONSHIP?
Answer:
It depends.
Explanation:
If this person is someone who is a toxic person, then yes drop them. But if they aren't and they are genuine good friend, then you should stay with them. If they get too loud (because I suppose that can be bothersome), just ask them to lower their voice and beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But otherwise, they are a good friend and don't get peer pressured to losing this good friend.
At least, that's what I think.
Friendship is the relationship between two people who have similar views, goals and do their best to make each other better.
Therefore, with this scenario, there are some things that you would talk to the person about:
Let the person know that you find the way he talks uncomfortableIf he says that he talks like that and cannot change, then you ask yourself some hard questions such as:Am i just noticing that my friend is ugly and talks loudly?Will I change because of what people think??Am i a people pleaser?3. if you have asked yourself all these and find out that you did not have a problem before school resumed, then you would make a better decision.

There has been a controversy between animal rights supporters and scientists about whether it is right to use animals in experimental research. Also, it is very debatable whether using animals for such research results in finding a cure for diseases. From my point of view, if there are no other alternatives, and if it is possible that this will contribute to science, animals may be used for experimental research.
Although the animal rights activists claim that people and animals are equal and thus they should be treated equally, I think that people and animals cannot be seen equal, and therefore the death of an animal cannot be the same thing as the death of a person. For that reason, causing animals to die for science, for the sake of saving human lives, may be considered ethical to some extent if it will contribute to the advancement of science and will be to the benefit of humanity in general.
Furthermore, animal rights supporters label scientists as ‘cruel’ for causing animals to die in medical experiments, while they do not oppose the people, mostly farmers, who kill animals for food, even though they know that 99% of animals deaths is caused by farmers while only a small percentage, i.e. 1% is caused by scientists. The underlying reason for that is they find scientists easier to attack and cannot deal with farmers who are organized and strong.
Another basic argument of animal rights defenders is that people and animals are different genetically and therefore it is useless to use animals in experiments to see the effects of some substances on people. They claim that it will make no good to use animals in experiments because they are too different to be compared to people. Some of them even assert that it is better to use people directly as they think that the results of experiments on animals cannot be valid and reliable as long as the same observation has not been done on man also. However, these people cannot foresee the disastrous results of such a practice. Many people are likely to die until a healthy result is obtained.
People and animals may not be the same, but to some degree there are similarities which can at least give scientists an idea about their experiments. From this point of view, scientists are right to use animal models to provide themselves with information about what is happening at level of detail that could not be achieved in humans. Although there might have been some incidents when animal testing did not prove to be useful and some effects of some drugs observed on animals could not be observed on people, there are also a lot of examples that show that using animals resulted in significant developments and helped to cure some serious illnesses.
On the other hand, there may be alternative methods that should be used instead of animal experimentation. Then, of course, it is cruel and unethical to use animals. For example, in some experiments in-vitro methods can be used as an alternative to using live animals. In such occasions, it is certainly much better and right to employ these alternatives.
All in all, it can be said that using animals for medical research is ethical a long as it contributes to scientific development and helps scientists find ways to improve human health. And this practice is only acceptable on the condition that necessary pains are taken and animals are treated humanely.

Explanation:
And the great ships sail outward and return, Bending and bowing o'er the billowy swells, And ever joyful, as they see it burn, They wave their silent welcomes and farewells.
They come forth from the darkness, and their sails Gleam for a moment only in the blaze, And eager faces, as the light unveils, Gaze at the tower, and vanish while they gaze.
It sees the ocean to its bosom clasp The rocks and sea-sand with the kiss of peace; It sees the wild winds lift it in their grasp, And hold it up, and shake it like a fleece.
Do you keep a diary or journal of your own? Do you think it was good for her diary to be published? Why or why not? Please write 7 sentences.
Answer:
hope this helps
Explanation:
I think it is a good idea to having a journal or notebook to write your feelings in. Yes i have one, (don't use it very often tho lol) but it relieves me of taking it out on someone else. When you jot your feelings down and don't take them out on other people, it saves drama and confusion.A journal is also good because it is a safe keep. Instead of telling somebody your mad, you can be mad at them in secret. A diary is meant to be for you and yourself only because it is YOUR feelings. Therefore having a diary/ journal is a good thing to have.

Answer:
Eine Bewegung, die den Lauf der Geschichte maßgeblich veränderte, war Deutschland unter dem NS-Regime. Die Nazis haben in ihrem Plan der Dominanz viel Schaden angerichtet. 1941 fielen die Nazis in die Sowjetunion ein, die heute Russland heißt. Der Codename Operation Barbarossa war die größte Invasion in der Geschichte der Kriegsführung und verursachte die meisten Opfer in der Geschichte. Das Land Polen wurde ebenfalls vollständig vom NS-Regime übernommen. Die Nazis beschlossen, den polnischen Staat vollständig von allen Polen zu befreien und von deutschen Kolonisten zu besiedeln. Das nationalsozialistische Deutschland hat in weiten Teilen Europas weiterhin ein Erbe. Es gibt heute noch viele rechtsradikale rassistische Gruppen, und in vielen Ländern wurden Gesetze erlassen, um die Entwicklung und das Wachstum dieser rassistischen Gruppen zu verhindern. Das bedeutendste dieser drei Ereignisse ist das Erbe des Neonazismus, das heute noch auf der ganzen Welt existiert. Die Nazis haben den Lauf der Geschichte in vielerlei Hinsicht verändert, einschließlich des Einmarsches in die Sowjetunion und in Polen. Leider hat das Erbe der Nazis auch heute noch Unruhen in Europa verursacht.

Chapter I
She waited. And waited.
She was waiting for a cab. It had been fifteen minutes. Fifteen minutes of waiting for a cab. She would’ve been home by now. She just needed to leave the prom. Why? Well, she knew the prom queen would be dying on this day. She knew the prom queen was gonna be Jane Turner.
“Annabelle!” A voice yelled out her name. She turned to see her best friend, Michael Stanton.
“Oh, hey Mickey!” She watched him run down the stairs to her. Annabelle noticed noises inside.
“Don’t hey Mickey me, Annabelle.” He gave her a mad look.
“What’s wrong Michael?” She gave him a confused look.
“You killed her.” She was shocked.
“We. Killed. Her. Not just me. Most likely it was all you because you brought me into this. It was literally you. All you.” She explained to him. Now he was giving off a confused aura.
“Me? How m-” He was interrupted. Annabelle was mad now.
“It was all you! She broke your heart and you wanted your best friend's help! You killed her. I gave ideas! So don’t blame it on me!”

Answer:
That is really good! I'm going to suggest a couple things, but you don't have to take my suggestions :)
Explanation:
1. In the paragraph where it says "She was waiting for a cab. It had been fifteen minutes. Fifteen minutes of waiting for a cab.", maybe take out the last sentence, "Fifteen minutes of waiting for a cab." because then you're not repeating basically the same thing three times.
2. Let the readers know where Mickey came down the stairs from. Where are the noises coming from?
3. Where it says "Don't hey Mickey me, Annabelle." He gave her a mad look" Put quotes around "Hey Mickey" and capitalize hey. Either take out the "mad look" part, or take out Annabelle's confused look. If you want to leave both in, change one of them so it doesn't have "look" in it.
4. Where it says "We. Killed. Her. Not just me.", take out the periods between we, killed, and her.
5: In the part where it says "Me? How m-" He was interrupted. Annabelle was mad now.", do "Me? How was it m-" He was interrupted by a furious Annabelle saying, "It was all you!" and so on.
This is amazing! I would love to read the rest of it. I hope I helped you out a little bit!
There are different ways fossils can form. Fossils can be molds, or imprints left from something buried. The actual structure decomposes, but the shape is left behind. A shell imprint in a rock is an example. Fossils can also be casts. Casts are molds that fill in over time. They show a three-dimensional shape of the structure that used to be there. A walnut mold that fills in with minerals is an example. Plants and animals can also be preserved when they are trapped in certain circumstances. Tar, ice and amber have all trapped animals for thousands of years. Amber comes from tree resin, or sap, which hardens. Insects from long ago have been found preserved in it. In California, tar pits preserved many animals, including a mastodon and a saber-toothed cat.
What is the difference between a mold and a cast?
A Molds are body fossils, and casts are trace fossils.
B A mold is an imprint, and a cast is a filled-in imprint.
C Molds are made of amber, and casts are made of tar.
D Molds come from plants, and casts come from animals.
An animal's decomposing body might occasionally leave a mark in the silt after it dies. It is possible for this imprint to harden into a fossil if minerals from groundwater and sediment fill it in. A cast fossil is what this specimen is. A mold fossil is the name given to the preserved imprint.
What A mold is an imprint, and a cast is a filled-in imprint?
When an animal, plant, or other thing dies, the flesh decomposes and the bones disintegrate as a result of chemical processes. Over time, minerals slowly seep into the cavity and produce a cast that resembles the general shape of the deceased organism.
The process of fossilization known as casts and molds involves imprinting the physical properties of creatures onto rocks, particularly coarse, porous rocks like sandstones.
The formation of a fossil occurs when sediment fills the interior or exterior of a dead organism and the organism's remains are buried.
Therefore, leaving only the rock's shape and texture as evidence of the organic material that once existed there.

What’s for Lunch?
Marcia Amidon Lusted
Zachary Maxwell was tired of trying to explain to his parents why he wanted to bring lunch to school instead of eating hot lunch. They couldn’t understand why he didn’t want to eat the gourmet food described on the school’s online menu, which sounded both nutritious and interesting. Zachary just couldn’t convince them that the food wasn’t as great as it sounded. So in the fall of 2011, he began sneaking a small video camera into the cafeteria at his school, to show his parents what the lunches were really like. Six months and 75 school lunches later, Zachary made a documentary film about his lunch called Yuck: A 4th Grader’s Short Documentary About School Lunch.
