Non-Fiction RRE

This article is based on a study done in the University of Massachusetts.  The researchers there studied the process of mitosis and why it goes wrong at times.  During mitosis the duplicated chromosomes are supposed to divide equally between two daughter cells.  However, in many cases that does not happen which leads to many problems.  The researchers found that in most cases the problems are due to incorrect interactions between chromosomes and spindle fibers.  Chromosomes must align perfectly on the spindle fibers.  Microtubule filaments make the spindle fibers.  The site of interaction between the microtubule filament and chromosomes are called kinetochores.  When the interaction is complete, Polar Ejection Force (PEF) pulls the chromosomes apart.  They found this defect in interaction is pretty common, occurring in almost 90% of cells.  When it occurs in somatic cells, either the cells die, or cancer develops.  When it occurs in gametes, there can be serious birth defects.  The research shows the strength of PEF is essential is proper cell division.

            This article was really interesting because it shows how commonly mistakes can occur during mitosis.  Our bodies are made up of billions of cells, so mitosis is very common.  It is scary to think that problems that fairly common can cause cancer in our body.  It also must be concerning for couples planning to have kids, and defects in egg or sperm cells can cause serious birth defects.  I hope the scientists find a way to prevent such inaccuracies during mitosis.

New Animal Rules

This article is about the new rules made by the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN).  Earlier, ICZN had very strict rules about publishing names of new animals on paper.  However now those information can be electronically published.  They believe this process will speed up the process of adding animals to the database.  However, many other scientists don’t agree with this view.  It is difficult enough to keep track of all the new discoveries.  Often, many scientists in different parts of the world name the same animals with different names.  So ICZN needed the strict rules to link scientists all over the world.  According to the article, about 20,000 new animal species are added each year, and for each taxa 2-10 legal names can be found.  This makes the process of properly keeping records very difficult.  While many scientists believe digitalizing will make things more confusing, ICZN feels it will make the process faster and less complicated.  They still have rules for digitally publishing nomenclature.  The electronic journal which publishes the information must have an ISSN or ISBN number.

Blood Brothers

In this Article, I read that skateboarding isn't only a hobby. It is a way of life. The author of this article explains how skateboarding was a huge part of his life and how it was the only thing he ever wanted to do. He also explained how skateboarding required patience. Something he did not posses, but as he stepped on the board he was naturally gifted with the skill of skateboarding. After landing his first trick, he got the hang of it and continued to skate board. The kick flip is a simple beginners move, so his friends began to call him a "poser" which is a huge insult to all skateboarders.  He took the insult so literal that he decided to do something wild. On a summers day he went to the skate park and was ready to tame the beast of the entire skate park... THE STAIRS. It may not sound to intimidating, but the blood stains of other people have marked these stairs making all fear its height. He attempted doing a trick down these stair and failed landing on his full of BLOOD. He may have failed, but it gave him more confidence.

PICTURE BOOK
Page 1

Jason was a lonely boy. He always wanted friends, but he was too afraid to talk his classmates. He would watch them all play and have a good time while he sat there and watched what they would do.


Page 2

“I want to go talk to them”, he said with a frown on his face, but instead he just watched and stood in his place.


Page 3

He came to his house that night and looked to his mirror on the wall. “Today was bad, but my hope will not fall.” He would lie on his bed, and swore to do better. He laid out his clothes and a shiny new sweater.  Maybe kids will talk to me if I wear cool clothes. He had a twinkle in his eyes and he wiggled his nose.

Page 4

He woke up in the morning, excited as can be, and then he put on his clothes faster than a countdown to 3.

Page 5

He ran to the bathroom and brushed his teeth, then bumped into his much older brother Heath. “Brother” he said with a huge smile, “you’re growing up and I haven’t spoken to you in a while. I just wanted to say, you can make many friends, just don’t give, there is never an end.” Jason smiled. Looked up with glee, then ran outside, happy as can be.


Page 6

He walked across the street and made it to school. Hoping he would speak and not feel like a fool. He took three steps to the nearest group, but walked back to his seat feeling like poop. “COME ON JASON!” He said to himself. “You can’t be another book on a shelf! Today we are going to talk the kids, don’t be afraid just go for it!”


Page 7

A burst of courage, blasted through him and he ran to a group, even though no one knew him. His blue eyes shining, his brown hair glowing, all this power, his hope was growing!

Page 8

“Hi everyone!”  He said with a smile. “Mind if I talk to you all for a while.” The boys in girls all smile and welcomed him.” Finally Jason has fit right in. In a matter of minutes he made new friends. That’s the last of this tale. Goodbye.

THE END.

DARREN SHAN- CIRQUE DU FREAK- THE VAMPIRE’S ASSISTANT

Darren Shan just wants to be a normal kid again, but he knows it’s impossible because he was bitten by a vampire. He wishes that his life could back to the way it was but it sadly can’t.  Darren now has to live his life as the assistant of his leecher(Mr Crepsley.) The agreement was that if Darren became a vampire he had to follow his masters paths and he did. He learned many things such as controlling speed, learning how to hunt for his life source from animals (he needs blood) and how to use his super human abilities such as super strength. In the beginning Darren hated being a vampire, but after he learned that being on isn’t as bad as it seems. He continues his life depressed, but continues to learn new things everyday. He meets new people and makes new friends. Finds a circus and considers it to be his new home. His new family are the FREAKS!!!

So I was a lonely boy. I had no friends. At school. I would stare at all the boys and girls, but no one would talk to me.

"Is it my hair? I would ask myself.

And I would go home, look at a mirror and grab my long black hair.

"Hmph... I just don't get it. What's wrong with me?

The next day I go back to school.

I would stare at the boys and girls thinking, I tried smiling at them and showing off my new "COOL KID KICKS", but they wouldn't even glance at me.

"Is it my nose?" I would ask myself.

And I would go home, look at a mirror and grab my little tanned nose.

"Hmm.. I just don't get it. What's wrong with me?

The next day I go back to school.

I would stare at the boys and girls confused.

"Why can't I make friends like them? Why am I always alone?"

Then "She" passed by. Talia. The prettiest girl in class. She was funny, cute and full of energy. She was every boys dream. And from all the darkness in my heart, she showed me the light. I thought to myself (Wow. She's amazing! If only she knew about how  felt about her) But when she walked by I would just blush and look away. I knew I could never get someone like her.

So one day the teacher was giving us a review on what would be on our next test. Talia decided to sit next to me in class and i felt my heart beating a mile a minute. She looked at me then smiled. I smiled back then thought (why did she smile at me) Is there something on my face? Did I do something dumb. I told a really bad joke and thought I was dumb for saying it, But then she said. "That was cute." And my face went numb. "Cute...?" I said carelessly.
"Yeah." She responded.

At the end of class we started talking and loved being around each other. After that we never separated and had you two.

"So that's how you met mom dad?" My daughter asks.

Yeah. Pretty much I reply

"That's a pretty lame story dude." My older son says.

"Not as lame as your face..." My daughter replied back quickly.

Then Talia bursts in and yells

"WHO WANTS COOKIES?!?!?!?"

And everyone runs to the kitchen in joy.

CIRQUE DU FREAK

BOOK #1 A LIVING NIGHTMARE.

CRITICAL THINKING QUESTION:

Who has “power” in your text? How does that power get shown?

The Main character Darren Shan, is very interested in spiders. He has a best friend Steve is interested in horror films and comics. They both love scary things and get along great. These children both really wanted to go to the horror show called "Cirque du Freak, but they knew their parents wouldn't let them. In order for them to go they  had to sneak out so, Darren made an excuse to his mom that he is staying at Steve's house and Steve said he was going to Darren's house. Luckily the lie went perfectly. They really enjoyed the show but, Darren was the most fascinated in the spider "Madam Octa." Darren wanted that spider so badly that he stole it and took it back home. Upon arrival, he ran up to his room and put the spider in his hands. The Spider bit him and left a poison in his body. Darren would not survive after that infection. "Mr Crepsley" (The owner of the Spider) came to retrieve it, but then realized that he was bitten. He told Darren that the only way he would be saved, is by being bitten by him. That is when Darren found that he was a vampire. He accepted the terms, and agreed that from that day on he would be his assistant and help him through out the way. He gained, power, speed and agility. From that day on he was a half vampire on his way to achieve full Vamp.

A LONG WAY GONE By Ishmael Beah

What really hard things are happening in this text? Are these things happening in the world now? Where?

In this book, it shows how the before the main character, Ishmael Beah became a child soldier, he was living a happy life with his family in Sierra Leone. All was going great until the civil war breaks out and the rebel soldiers come to attack his town. Everyone scatters around to escape. Some people survive the attack, but his family was sadly murdered in the encounter. It seems like his child hood is destroyed, but he tries to gain it back by learning the power of love.

War is like hell itself. Instead of burning flames, its a battlefield of death and despair. You forget who you are. You forget the meaning of life, love, laughter. These are all just words to them. Child soldiers are forced to fight. They can't choose to leave. They stay until death. This is happening all over the world. At  least 25 countries have this problem. The world is corrupted with their mentality. It is just wrong and should be stopped.

Child Soldier Essay(DRAFT)

In the present day, at least 25 countries or more use children as their pawns. These kids are turned into fighting machines at a very young age. Child Soldiers don’t deserve the treatment they get. Children are supposed to love not kill.


Leaders of war only use child soldiers for personal gain. “Children are often considered the perfect weapon.” These leaders do not consider these children to be helpless or misfortunate. They don’t care about these kids well being. All they care about is keeping extra cash in their pockets. “The children don’t get paid.”


Child soldiers get robbed of their childhood. “The rebels came and attacked us. They killed my mother and father in front of my eyes. I was 10 years old. They took me with them.” At a very young age the life of these children are changed drastically. Both Parents are killed while the child watches and horror. Then he/ she are forced into fighting in the war with that very memory scarred in their brain. The damage that can do to a person is incredible. “Killing became a normality for them”


Even after they are grown up they can’t adjust to a normal life. “They suffered long term trauma.” These kids have been put through much suffering, they have seen the deaths of many people, and have also killed people themselves. Their psychological state is probably damaged considering the pain they must have caused and went

Child soldiers are forced to fight. There is nothing they can do. “The first time I killed someone, I got so sick, I thought I was going to die. But I got better.” These children don’t wanna fight. They want to live a normal life, but the warlords don’t care. All they care for is money and power. The kids have no say in anything. The life of child soldiers is not easy at all.

They don’t care about these kids well being. All they care about is keeping extra cash in their pockets. “The children don’t get paid.” Child soldiers work very hard and aren’t rewarded for their effort. These children are put through much effort, and have nothing to look forward to.

Then he/ she are forced into fighting in the war with that very memory scarred in their brain. The damage that can do to a person is incredible. “Killing became a normality for them”
Eventually these children are psychologically trained to kill people. They must kill, or be killed.  These kids are drugged so that they won’t feel pain in battle.

Even after they are grown up they can’t adjust to a normal life. “They suffered long term trauma.” These kids have been put through much suffering, they have seen the deaths of many people, and have also killed people themselves. Their psychological state is probably damaged considering the pain they must have caused and went through. “They get trapped in the circle of war no matter where they go.” The children could try to escape, but they would get killed. No matter what they did, there would be no escape. It was like a jail, and the cell was closed shut.

Child soldiers are forced to fight. There is nothing they can do. “The first time I killed someone, I got so sick, I thought I was going to die. But I got better.” These children don’t wanna fight. They want to live a normal life, but the warlords don’t care. All they care for is money and power. The kids have no say in anything. The life of child soldiers is not easy at all.


These children are treated unjustly and unfairly. These kids shouldn't be put through all of this trouble. They deserve the chance to be a child and not a slave of war. Kids these days, don’t realize how much easier their lives are than the kids out in war.

POEM ON GLOBAL WARMING

The Dangers of Global Warming

Global Warming.
Temperature rising.
Glaciers melting.
The world hanging.
Will we all survive?
Who knows...
The sun getting bigger.
Our hope becoming smaller.
Will the day come... When we are all killed?
One day, the night of christmas will be warm.
And our summers will be cold.
Hurricanes.
Blizzards.
Death and Despair.
Why does no one care?
We need someone to save us.
Make that someone you.
For our destiny awaits us.
Lets live in a world of peace.
We can only change it with the help of the people.
We are the people!

We should all make a change.
The way we think, should be re arranged.
The world is a fun and carefree place.
Until Global warming comes in your face.
SO LETS FIGHT IT, UNITE AS ONE.
To stop global warming for everyone.
Save the Planet piece by piece.
Thats the end of this poem, goodbye and peace.

How I came To create this poem...
The creation of this poem came easy to me. I used a bit of my knowledge on global warming and made a poem on how people have to realize how serious the topic of global warming actually is. Our world as we know it can change drastically. I felt this poem could help other children and people understand how the world can turn out to be.

As I wrote my poem, I let my fingers flow on the keys of my laptop and wrote what I felt. I wrote the truth. People take their lives for granted and things can happen in a flash. It took me a couple days to complete this, but i feel my completed piece can help people know more about global warming and make them want to learn more about it.

4.)School/College Admissions
5.)War
6.)Corruption of Government
7.)Carbon Pollution
8.)Lack of Jobs


When I was younger child, the cost of things were much cheaper. For example, If I ever wanted a snickers, I’d pay. 50-65 Cents. Now stores charge $1.00 or maybe $1.25. Prices are just too high. I realize times are tough, but paying some much for a smidget piece of chocolate is just too much. I wish prices would just go down a bit. Even though the economy is still in a deficit, little snacks like that shouldn’t cost that much money. I know the prices won’t change, but I feel that they should at least attempt to bring prices down. Candy shouldn’t be that expensive.


Social Awareness Project- 3
Littering...
Why do people litter? Why not go to the nearest garbage can and throw out your trash? These questions have been asked countless times because our country litters. The simplicity of picking up and throwing out your trash is easy and requires little to no effort.

Step One.
Take garbage
Step Two.
Find Garbage Can
Step Three.
Throw out the trash.

Then you’re done. It isn’t too hard. I really don’t know why people can’t follow these simple instructions. Is our country just lazy? Or is it that we just don’t care. It’s probably both. Well we need to change that. The world is being filled with countless amounts of garbage. Eventually the world will become a giant land mass of garbage if we don’t try to fix this problem. People may ask, how can we help? Pick up garbage that you may see on the floor or around you, or pick up after yourself. It isn’t hard. You may not care, but you are harming our environment and the world itself. We have to step up to the plate and try our hardest to help the world out because if we don’t our world as we know it, may change in a negative way and you will be in for a “Rude Awakening.”  

“Litter cleanup costs the U.S. almost $11.5 billion each year, with businesses paying $9.1 billion.  Governments, schools, and other organizations pick up the remainder.”-Kab.org

12,000,000 miles are driven each year picking up litter in our state. Think about all the gas that is needed to fuel trucks for litter pick up."- Stoplitter.org

"18% of all littered items end up in our streams and waterways as pollution. That means litter in our state travels to other states and eventually ends up in the ocean."

Diary of A Wimpy Kid

In the book "Diary of a wimpy Kid" by Jeff Kinney. The main character, Greg, is a self centered, egotistical, kid. He thinks he knows everything and is cooler than everyone when in reality he isn't. He hates singing and embarrassing moments. And to his disadvantage he has a younger brother that LOVES to embarrass him. Greg also uses his best friend Rowley and isn't a very good partner.

In the book Greg basically made Rowley do whatever he wanted. One thing he did was break Rowley's arm. He didn't apologize. He thought of it as a joke. Everyone at school sympathized Rowley and Greg tried to still the fame.

Another example is when Greg framed Rowley for leaving the first graders inside a ditch. Even though it was Gregs fault, he blamed Rowley for it. Greg is bad friend and doesnt deserve someone like Rowley.

                  DEMON APOCALYPSE 
In the Book "Demon Apocalypse" by Darren Shan, The main character Grubs Grady had many challenges and obstacles he had to overcome. From learning how to fly, to learning advanced magic, to traveling through TIME and SPACE! Darren's adventure was full of grief and relief, but he learns many things in his pathway. He lost things and also gained things. Overall the gruesome, but amazing book is a roller coaster of twists and turns that kept the reader craving for more!

In the beginning of the book Darren was tricked by his beloved mother figure "Juni." They mounted a plane and Darren, thinking nothing could go wrong, was never more wrong in his life. The plane was full of demons , including the demon master "Lord Loss!" Darren trying to fight them, but he didn't have the strength. The Demons overcame him easily. As Darren begins to lose all hope. An old man springs to his feet, breaks a hole in the plane and pushes Darren out, the old man also jumps out. In mid flight the old man tells Darren to picture himself flying and he will land safely. The old man immediately starts to fly and leaves Darren behind.
Darren concentrates and began to fly as well. (Lets just say the landing wasn't as easy)

The old mans name was "Beranabus" He is a very powerful Mage. And so is his partner "Kernel Fleck" These two adults teach Grubs how to overcome demon power and face any obstacle. Sadly their power wasn't strong enough to face any of the demons and they lost in battle losing all their friends and family. Luckily the spirit of the dead mage, "Bec" used her spirit to bring all these mages back in time.

In this period the mages had the opportunity  to plan out what they would do during battle and the plan was full proof. They slayed all the demons, but at one cost. They had to sacrifice Grub's half brother Bill-E in the process. Grubs was hurt badly, but the dead spirit of bec resurrected into the body of Bill-E and destroyed the remaining threats. The battle was won, but nothing was gained. Just pain and misery.

STEVE JOBS THE MAN WHO THOUGHT 
                            DIFFERENT (Revised)
In the Book "Steve Jobs the man who thought different", a biography by Karen Blumenthal, it explains what Steve Paul Jobs went through and achieved in his life. In the book it explains how His adoption parent’s names were Clara and Paul Jobs. Steve Jobs was originally named Steven Jobs. Steve Jobs was adopted. Unlike most people; Jobs didn’t feel bad about being adopted.  "Knowing I was adopted made me feel more independent" Steve Jobs said to his biographer. He had no problem knowing he was adopted and said he never felt abandoned; it made him feel "special". Clara worked as an accountant and Paul was a coast guard Veteran. They lived in a mountain view within California in Silicon Valley.

  Jobs and his father would work on electronics in the garage. As time went by Jobs grew a passion for electronics and wanted to make his own. This eventually led into meeting his partner Steve Wozniak. Wozniak was a computer genius and got Jobs to the glory he ended up having. Steve Wozniak was a brilliant computer engineer. He and Steve both had a passion for electronics, such as computers. After High School, Jobs attended Reed College in Portland, Oregon. Eventually Steve Jobs ended up dropping out of the college six months after joining. In 1972 the game pong came out on the Atari system. Steve loved that game. In 1974 he decided to join the company. Several months later he left Atari to find spiritual enlightenment in India. After he found enlightenment, in 1976 Wozniak and himself decided to start their own business, which is now known as apple. They Started in the Garage of Steve Jobs. After much hard work and dedication they finally conducted their first working machine, known as the Macintosh. 

 Jobs and Woz made a series of computers that they believed were going to be marketed for six hundred sixty six dollars and sixty six cents. Their first computer the Apple 1 (Mac I) was a partial success, but the Apple 2 sales skyrocketed and was a complete success, sales increased by 700 percent. The Company made 774,000 dollars for apple 1 and and 139 million for the apple.

In 1980 apple computers became a huge trademark, with a value of 1.2 Billion dollars. Jobs needed a president for Apple so he decided to meet with John Scully, a marketing expert at Pepsi-cola. Jobs decided to give Scully the job of being president at apple because of his marketing expertise. 

The next products made by apple in the next couple years had many design flaws. Customers had returned the product back because of the quality and errors found in the machine. Apples main rival was PC. The owner and creator of PC, Bill Gates, was a close friend, but also the worst enemy of Steve Jobs. PC was a more successful business and had much more sale production but apple was special. It was different from all other companies. 

Steve was eventually kicked out of apple for unfriendly conduct. Steve Jobs felt hurt being kicked out of his own company, but he didn't want his career to end there. To him money was no object; he only loved creating his own inventions. This eventually led into making the company NeXT. Steve wanted a life purpose so he tried to create another computer. The computers weren't making as much money as the Macs, but that all changed when Pixar joined their forces. Pixar used Steve's "NeXT" creation to make all the Pixar films we know and love, such as the Incredibles, Finding Nemo, and Toy Story. Another person he partnered with was George Lucas, the creator of Star Wars, and Indiana Jones. While Jobs business is a huge a success Mac's profits are dropping to the ground. Apple decides to hire Jobs back, so Steve decides to sell NeXT to Pixar.
