Free Post: how to ride a bike

To ride a bike, you first have to use training wheels. These may seem stupid, but trust me, you need these. All you have to do is sit down after that. Then you have to learn about the brakes and how to use them. Once you have this all figured out, start peddling. But you have to make sure that when you peddle, you are cautious of your surroundings. Now just start trying to turn and you'll be alright. Once you've gotten the hang of training wheels, you should make sure you have a bike that is big enough for you. After that, take the training wheels off and sit on your bike. Once you've sat down, try to start peddling, while controlling your balance at the same time. Now, turning is the hardest part. See, making a sharp turn could cause you to fall off your bike, but making to large of a turn could result in you veering off the road or sidewalk and hitting something. But after you've gotten the gang of turning, you're good to go!

Nature Blog

Overall, humans treat nature okay. We do damage the earth and pollute it, but in my opinion it hasn't gotten out of control. But there is a possibility that humans could start doing bad. So this blog will give two different sides of the debate: Do Humans Treat Nature Well? So first off, yes, humans do treat nature well. Even though not all of us do, most humans have plants and yards that they tend to. Some of these people may even have trees. Humans usually treat these well if its their responsibility. Some humans go so far as to go on rants about how we need to preserve the trees and stop cutting them down. This statement leads us to the next point: Humans do not treat nature well. Humans do not treat nature well. They pollute the world with machines and smoking. They burn down plant life. Humans even destroy whole forests, leaving animals scared and without homes. Humans can be seen as being awful towards nature. But in the end, its fair to say that some humans treat nature wel

Reading Response: The Revenge of Seven

The Revenge of Seven seems as if the author changes nearly every chapter. The styles of writing, the things that happen; everything just seems to change and make the story even more interesting and unpredictable, to the point where this book is just confusing and amazing at the same time. For example: a character in the book, named Sam, in one chapter is just some quiet kid that is scared of his own shadow. But, only 4 chapters after we meet him, he is making people fake ID's and making counterfeit money for his friends. This is a short reading response on The Revenge of Seven .

Fall Break Free Post: The First Time I Shot a Gun

     "Dad, when can I go shooting?" That was the question I remember asking for weeks at a time. My dad had some friends that owned a huge plot of land, and my dad would go there a lot with his friends on the weekends. I knew that they would do things like shooting, but I also knew they just had a lot of fun. So when my dad finally gave me a positive answer, I was astounded.      It was a Thursday afternoon, and my dad just got off a business call. "Hey dad, could I go shooting this weekend?" "Sure." I stare at him, not blinking. "What?" "I said sure, you can go shooting this weekend." So we left that next day to go the "shooting range".      When we got there, I just saw a big, open field. But as my dad pulled farther into the gravel road, I started to see the tops of a shed. A pretty big one too. I wasn't surprised at first, but then I saw the four wheelers, the ammunition, and the guns. There were pistols, rifles,

Fictional Short-Story

I have finally done it. I have finally achieved my main goal in life. After all this hard work I think I have the answer to this question I been asking myself for so many years. Now all I have to do is download it on this USB drive and...done! All of the information is saved on this one, small, USB drive I'm holding in my hands. Yet along with this sense of joy, I feel panic. What should I do with this information? Can I leave it saved onto this computer where it can accessed...and stolen? No. I can't. If someone else gets their hands on this information; no, I can't think about that now. I look around for another USB drive to download this on for a backup, but I see none. Great. I guess I could try and buy another one, but I know that there are people that are waiting for me to leave this so they can take it all, I just know it! I take a deep breath and delete everything. It's hard, but I know it's what I have to do. Once everything is gone, I take some parts out o

Da-duh Reading Response

In the short story, Da-duh , there is a full and complete plot that could be sorted onto a plot map. So, starting things off, the exposition. This part of the story is above the title where a small paragraph is labeled as "Background" ; the exposition is also all of the information on pages 57-59. After the exposition, there is a long rising action period. This lasts for almost 3 pages and consists of Da-duh showing the main character how great her life is and then belittling her after asking her if new York has this, and the main character always says no. But then Da-duh starts asking the main character about New York, and they start to bond. While all of this is happening, Da-duh is bringing the main character to these quiet places in the canes. But the climax comes into play when Da-duh shows the main character her favorite spot in the canes, and what she believed to be the tallest thing that she ever saw. But when she asked the main character if there was anything taller
