The Harry Potter series had been approved for integration into Lego toy and video game lines, but the parent viewed it as too wicked for children to be exposed to it. Enough people (leading to a 3-2 vote from the school board mentioned) agreed with this perspective for the series in Lego toys, and in other items easily accessible in public toy stores, to not be within the reach of children at their local…
such as trucks and Legos if it were not their gender. Having children play with gender specific toys would not teach them any variance. It would teach them that only boys can play this certain toys and girls can play with certain toys. This would in turn have children not play with each other. This would also cause bullying due to after children reach that certain age they tend to pick on children who do not fit the social norm, however, for children who do not like trucks and Legos and prefer…
Plants reproduce by asexual reproduction or pollination in most cases, they do this in order to make seeds. Seeds are the embryonic, or unborn, state of a plant. These seeds are made to carry the genetic material and make new plants. In most cases a plant wants its seeds to be spread of moved to a new place not close to the parent plant, this is done through seed dispersal. There are many types of seed dispersal for example wind, water, animals, and other biotic and abiotic factors. One of the…

I am writing this essay in order to earn my place in National Junior Honor Society. I believe that my academic skills meet that of what is required of this group. I was the only one to have earned the Presidential Award for Academic Excellence in the 2013-14 school year. I have received straight A’s every quarter of the two completed years of middle school which means that I also subsequently received High Honors those quarters as well. I haven’t ever received a detention or an A.C.E. of any…

mathematicians, and boys, in that they internalize at an early age that these careers are for everyone, not only men." What is the reader supposed to think while reading this? Obviously, they are going to think about the inspirational value of the Lego pieces. If it weren’t for a very select few sentences in ‘Women of NASA to be Immortalized’, the reader would not reflect on the author’s points. Yet, with the textual evidence that supports me, it does. After reading the article, I myself was…
could accomplish anything we put our minds too. Where a simple “theres a snake in my boot” or a “to infinity and beyond” could not help but produce an innocent smile or giggle. Anything our imaginations could think of could be assembled with the sea of lego bricks found scattered across my own childhood room. A time full of breathtaking innocence that will forever be lost to the sea of adulthood we all strive so hard to achieve. Growing up and watching my views and opinions of the toys and…
Boy Based Commercials Rather than domesticity, commercials that feature boys contain violent images. For example, in the commercial for “Power Rangers Super Megaforce Double Battle Figures” there are images of ‘blasters’ and ‘swords’, with the Power Rangers fighting ‘evil’ (Bandai 2014). The voice in the commercial is male, and the intended audience for Power Ranger is clearly young boys. The voice says things like “fire your blaster and swing your sword,” as well as “you’re armed and ready!”…
Reading has never been my calling, and I tended to become bored too quickly and move on to something more entertaining.

Over time the level in which I was supposed to read at, and the level I did read at grew far apart.…
