Do we still need heroes? (The 5 paragraphs)

Without heroes, the whole world will be in great chaos. Heroes are normally referred to as people with supernatural powers, but in my point of view, everyone is a hero. We see heroes as, policemen, fire fighters, soldiers, etc. Heroes risk their lives to save others in the most horrible situations. For example, the current nuclear emergency is occurring in Japan, and the 50 workers which stayed behind while the other 750 ran away, are trying to fix the problem. In addition, when others are creating trouble, they would be there to help.

Heroes risk their lives to save others in the most horrible situations. Like, the recent earthquake had damaged the cooling systems in one of the plants, causing the nuclear rods to overheat. In addition, there was a possibility that a meltdown would occur. However, out of 800 workers, 50 stayed behind to prevent the overheating of the nuclear rods, while the 750 others ran away. The 50 were brave and put themselves above others, are traits of a true hero. Being brave and risk their lives for the sake of others, the government named them the, Fukushima 50. Unafraid of radiation and working in the worse conditions to prevent a nuclear meltdown, they are trying very hard to bring happiness to the society. With such bravery, risking their lives for the sake of others, and trying their best to make things better, the Fukushima 50 are heroes.

Everyone is a hero, helping others is already a trait of a hero. When I help others, it makes me feel like I am a hero, and has brought happiness to others. For instance, recently I helped to tutor my friend who was weak at a particular subject; I gave him slides and played fun games relating to the topic. Learning cannot be interesting when there is no fun. So after much tutoring, came the first test, which he obtained higher marks than before. From my action, I helped others when they are in need of help, which mean that I am also a hero. Being a hero is not a problem if you have the right stuff and put others above yourself.

Heroes can be fire fighters, policemen, doctors, soldiers, etc. Being a hero is sort of a job for each of them. For instance, when a burglar robs a provision shop, the police will be there to arrest the culprit. On the other hand, when a house is on fire and burning, the fire fighters will be the ones who are specialize in that area. I think that in our neighbourhood there are heroes waiting for action to happen, until then they would be preparing for the next emergency.

In conclusion, everyone is a hero, and with much sacrifices and much bravery, can turn an ordinary person to a hero. In addition, I think that we do still need hero otherwise, the whole world will be in great chaos.

Do we still need heroes?

Why do we still need heroes? Well, without them the whole world will be in great chaos, heroes are normally referred to as people with supernatural powers, but in my point of view, everyone is a hero. We see heroes as, policemen, fire fighters, soldiers, etc. For example, the current nuclear emergency is occurring in Japan, and the 50 workers which stayed behind while the other 750 ran away, are trying to fix the problem. They are heroes as they are risking their lives for the sake of with heroes in the society, when others are creating trouble, they would be there to help.

Garfield Comic Strip

I mostly enjoy the comic strips of Garfield and friends, which is a comedy on the television. I often read them on the newspapers when I have the time, but the utmost reason for reading this comic strips is that I like the drawings, they are very original and smooth. Comic strips are way different from the comic books and manga series, as they are much shorter as well as easier to understand or interpret it. Garfield is a fat cat who makes the life of his owner difficult which makes it funny and entertaining. I would recommend this to people who like pranks or just looking for entertainment.

http://oep.oxfordjournals.org/content/50/4/563.short
The Civil War was fought mainly because of steady accumulation of protracted conflicts since the 1950s and 1960s and conditions that favor insurgency. These include poverty—which marks financially and bureaucratically weak states and also favors rebel recruitment—political instability, rough terrain, and large populations.

f. How does the Civil War relate to TKAM?

Both are similar in the factor of racial tension. So, the American Civil War was based a lot upon the disagreement over slavery. In "To Kill a Mockingbird" the case about Tom Robinson also has to do with the racial tensions that were going on in this time period

Reflections
After doing this assignment, I have learned more about the aspects of the Civil War. Which is related to "To Kill A Mocking Bird", whereby both are similar in the factor of racial tension. This assignment has deepen my understanding of racial tension which falls under the category of prejudice. We also managed to watch a base-understanding film of "Mississippi Burning" which greatly represents the "To Kill A Mocking Bird". This term concentrates on prejudice which is present in the current world.

Jack and Jill

Rewriting nursery rhyme "Jack and Jill"into different types/forms

The original rhyme:

Jack and Jill went up the hill

To fetch a pail of water.

Jack fell down and broke his crown,

And Jill came tumbling after.

Up Jack got, and home did trot,

As fast as he could caper,

To old Dame Dob, who patched his nob

With vinegar and brown paper

Narrative

The sun was beating relentlessly on both them, they climbed up the tall hill. Jack insisted that they will race down the hill after fetching the pail of water, and then decide who will be the winner.

In a flash, Jack and Jill ran down the hill with all their might, hoping to outrun each other. However, Jack slipped on a wet patch of grass, and tumbled down the hill. Jill stared at Jack who was seriously injured, blood oozing out from his left leg. Jill brought Jack back home, where he was treated with vinegar and brown paper.

News article

Two children were found injured yesterday. It was known that they said that they were playing on the particular hill across their home and unfortunately, fell down it. There have been reports of saying that the hill was not a safe place to be for small kids and adults should accompany them. "I was foolish to run down that hill when I knew that it was dangerous", says Jack, 9. Therefore, the hill will be cordoned off until further notices.
