Tick

Time is very subjective in terms of how we experience it. To a bored student time can seem endless and the clock ticks away, second by second each taking a lifetime, as we grow older time passes by more and more quickly to the point that find that fond memories that feel as if they were yesterday were days, months , even years ago. Not only is the perception of time divergent for different people, it also evolves as we do, as our lives and situations change so does our view of time. It is based…

Everyone has heard the term global warming, but how is this major issue being defined? To many people, global warming is defined as the steady rise of the Earth’s temperature from an excess of carbon dioxide being released into the atmosphere. To numberless others, global warming is simply that the climate change and carbon emission has nothing to do with it. While this last definition seems to be the easiest due to being less scary and not having to deal with the problem, it does not mean it is…

attain, which may cause much pain and grief. One may say that a person’s happiest years on Earth are those he or she spends as a child. At a young age, children are oblivious to the outside world and are unaware of all the things that make the world tick. As people age or mature, they learn about these little things and start to analyze the world around them as well as their own lives, and they…

interdependent,depending on each other, on each other for energy. For example, the bees take the pollen from flowers to spread throughout other places, the herbivores, and omnivores, plant and meat eaters, depend on the abiotic elements to live, and the ticks feed on the deer's blood. These are all examples of symbiosis and also showing that each animal, or organism has a niche, or position, in the community. All the different species, a group of one living organism, depend on each other to…

and the Iron Bark Station Wildlife Rehabilitation Facility in 1994. Steve wanted people to think about what they bought and not buy things made from animals that should be left in the wild, like buying turtle shells or fur. Steve said "What makes me tick—my gift to the world—is conservation. I eat, sleep and live for conservation. That's what I am all about, that's what I am up to, and that’s my game. And I will die defending wildlife and wilderness areas. That's my passion." Steve was also…

There are many ways that policies, programs or businesses can exploit innocent people. I only touch on the two that I feel really effect me in daily life; those would be designer products and banks. My dearest apologies in the anger (ranting) I portray in my writing, this subject matter really frustrates me. Companies shouldn't exploit or take advantage of good people for cash. I may be a hypocrite for saying that designer products are a scam because I own many products in which I will be…

darkness hoping that a good-night sleep would calm myself and things would return to normal. I then drifted into a black, meaningless dream, paralleling the emotion I felt that day. I … through through school meticulously watching the little hand tick on each successive second. During recess I sat on the splitted, wood sidewalk throwing pieces of mulch into the air as I abstained myself from any human interaction. During class, I sat still in our old school chairs careful not to speak or make…

need any man to depend on for her work because she can do it for herself. In the beginning of the book where the two cars get in a shootout, Adele gets wounded and when the two cars collide, she accidentally falls out of the vehicle, which really ticks her off. It is at this point she draws a gun and says “That’s it! Now I’m fed up!” (cite) and shoots at the fuel tank of the other car and blows it up. This scene shows how liberated she is because she will not take any nonsense and shows it…

but even though it is not as “pretty” it is more beneficial than just staring at a screen. Even though kids would be bored, they found methods of entertainment in “[using] our fingers to draw pictures on fogged glass as we watched telephone poles tick by” (63-64). This may not be watching a favorite tv show, but it allowed for observations and being able to learn more about the world. Children who did not grow up with this will not gain “understanding of how cities and nature fit together was…

Third grade, a year most of us don't recall. A year too inadequate for our young brains to recollect every moment in great detail -- especially when far more memorable events exist in life. Remarkably, I remember a simple day in third grade during recess. Simpe for other, but vital for me. The playground -- a heaven for my friends and I. While at least at that time it seemed like a heaven. Miles filled of perfect green, swings, basketball courts and geodesic domes. An abundances of kids…
