Phileas Fogg

Phileas Fogg

Phileas Fogg, the main character in Around the World in 80 Days, is an intelligent English man. Fogg is not a self-centered person, he cares about others. He is a very brave man and would do anything to help.
Phileas Fogg loves, and is quite good at, a card game called whilst. He loves adventure and exploration. He especially loves proving his whilst buddies wrong. Fogg enjoys reading, but he is not a very talkative person. He likes talking to Aouda and Passepartout, but he mostly keeps to himself. Phileas is a trust worthy man who always keeps his part of the bargain.
Phileas Fogg is my favorite character in Around the World in 80 Days. His personality was a benefit to his success. He never gave up on his bet, which led to his victory.

Raw Foods

Raw Foods

The human body is made up of many enzymes. Our bodies need enzymes to digest food, taste, walk and other activities. Raw foods give our bodies the proper enzymes to function. Cooking meats and vegetables, especially at high temperature, destroys the enzymes.
Cooking meats and vegetables changes the nutrients and enzymes. Many of the valuable enzymes the body needs are lost in this process. Cooking these foods at higher temperatures can also create toxic substances that can cause accelerated aging, weight gain and disease. Some of the worst foods to consume are processed foods, which include candy and white flour. People who switch to eating raw foods can become visibly younger and rid themselves of diseases.
People who have eaten too many processed and cooked foods for most of their lives may need enzyme supplements to help their bodies digest and absorb the nutrients in their food.

English

English

The first semester of English helped improve my writing. I learned how to organize my paragraphs, and how to write better sentences. I still have much to improve.
We reviewed sentences and paragraphs, which helped refresh my memory. I learned new vocabulary words that I have never heard before. The 3T’s model taught me how to categorize my paragraphs. I learned more about punctuation, and where to put my commas.
My writing is still not fully matured. I still make simple errors that I should not make, but this class will help me become an excellent writer.

Queen Esther

Queen Esther

King Ahasuerus was the king of Persia. Before invading Greece he had a festival which lasted 180 days. During the festival Ahasuerus called for Vashti, the queen of Persia, to come to the festival. He wanted to show his wife’s beauty to everyone, but she refused to come. Ahasuerus then divorced and exiled her for disobedience. The king invited hundreds of young women into his castle, so he could find his new queen.
There was a young lady in his kingdom named Hadassah, but she had changed her name to Esther. Esther was a Jew who was raised by her cousin Mortdecai. She appeared before Ahasuerus and pleased the king, she then became Queen. A man named Haman worked in the kingdom. Haman was a descendant of King Agag and he had a deep hatred of Jews. He saw Mordecai not giving him the respect he thought he deserved, so Haman wanted all the Jews to be killed. Haman went to King Ahasuerus and asked permission to wipe out a certain trouble making race of people. Ahasuerus gave him permission. Mordecai, who heard everything, told Esther. Esther asked to have dinner with the king, she then told the king to come back for a second meal a week later. At the second meal, Esther revealed the plot that all the Jews were to be wiped out. Ahasuerus was furious and executed Haman.
King Ahasuerus issued another decree telling the Jews to fight back and defend themselves on the appointed day. Mordecai was promoted into the court of the king, and Esther and the Jews were saved. A new feast, called Purim, was established to remember the event.

Pet Sitting

Pet Sitting

A friend of mine had to quit his job as a pet sitter because he was moving. He recommended me to his clients. Although it was a lot of work, I decided to be the owner of the business.
My friend introduced me to his clients, and educated me about his website. He gave me tips on how to manage my business. The business had a lot of clients, so it was going quite well. The business was slow during the winter and fall. Most of the money was earned during the summer and spring. After the first year of business, I had enough money to provide better pet care. I advertised on social media, and tv.
Unlike other sitters, we are open 24 hours a day. Most of the money spent goes toward dog food, toys, and medication. We plan on hiring people in different states, so our business can grow. It will take a lot of work, but we’ll make it happen.

Painkillers

Painkillers

Painkillers are powerful drugs that, like all drugs, are addicting. These drugs, called opioids, interfere with the nervous system’s transmission of the nerve signals that cause pain. They block the pain, and produce a “high.” Opioids are the most powerful prescription painkillers. Oxycodone, hydrocodone, meperidine, hydromorphone and propoxyphene are the most abused opioid painkillers. After a month of painkiller use, the body becomes ill when it does not have painkillers. This causes the body to need more painkillers more frequently. Painkillers do take away pain, but they become addictive quickly, which destroys lives. Doctors should be more careful about prescribing theses addictive drugs. They should only be used when a person is terminally ill.
