One of the first things I will argue about is that even though many people believed that the landings on the moon was a hoax because technology back then, in the 70s, were not as advanced as today where we can have clear cut image easily. That being said, this is why there are still some who wants to make accusations because not enough proof were provided. This is where comes in the article called ’’Bad Astronomy’’ by Philip Plait who is an astronomer where he makes an analysis on many of the conspiracy theorists claims and provides them with descriptions that proves them wrong. For example, the conspiracy theorists claims that one should be able to see brighter stars when you are in outer space. In the one of the pictures provided by the NASA which stands for National Aeronautics and Space Administration who were also the ones that assigned the mission Apollo 11, no stars could be seen.
Remember, most myths have two functions: 1. Explain how something was created or why it is the way it is. 2. Teach us a life lesson (Have a theme). Think back to the myths we have read in class as an example of what a good myth does.
Many cultures and ancient civilizations have their own theories as to how life began on earth. Some cultures say gods and goddesses created life, in modern times however some suggest that we came through outer space. Biologists do not have a great knowledge as to how life has come about but they are slowly unraveling this mystery thanks to advances in technology. Before examining modern ideas about the origins of life, it is important to see the traditional views on how life began. Many cultures believed that gods or goddesses created life.
in many ways these poems are similar, and very beautiful. In "A Barred Owl" and "The History Teacher", the two poets have similar meanings behind what their poems are saying, in that they both capture how a child's innocence is made by lies from adults. In "A Barred Owl", Richard Wilbur discusses how someone keeps the fears of life away from a child, for, "Words, which can make our terrors bravely clear, Can also thus domesticate a fear" (7-8). This is like "The History Teacher", by Billy Collins, because in the his poem, Collins introduces his interactions with the children with, "Trying to protect his students' innocence." (1).
Introduction Dr. Terry Mortenson, author of the article “The Origin of Old-Earth Geology and its Ramifications for Life in the 21st Century,” describes some important points of an old debate that is relevant in everyone’s life. In this paper, I give a basic summary of what the author’s purpose was for writing the article previously mentioned. I will also describe some of the articles strengths and weaknesses that affected my thoughts and views on the Old-World theory. The author did a great job for the most part, but I will discuss some information that would make this article stronger.

He is writing the present poem to tell the truth to those who will read and know the reality of those future times when people will make nonsense myths out of such incidents. In a sense, the poem is a satire on the superstitious ideas of love and magic, rather than believing in the actual contact and attachment between man and woman. The 'relic' of the title refers to the hair and bone that people will declare relic out of
Since the dawn of civilization, storytellers have crafted tales to entertain and enthrall audiences, sharing lessons about life and offering glimpses into their cultural heritage along the way. From time immemorial, two of the most popular forms of storytelling to have evolved include those of the myth and the legend. Typically, a legend is comprised of a semi-true story, one which has been passed on from person-to-person and embodies a deeper meaning or symbolism related to the culture from which it originated. Legends have an element of truth to them or are otherwise based on historic facts melded with mythical qualities. They customarily involve heroic characters or fantastic places and often encompass the spiritual beliefs indigenous to their culture.
I think that the results of this test are not correct. I don't think that the results of this test represented me or my preference for people at all. I think the results mis read me and my love for all people. It's weird because society has put into peoples heads that white is good and black is bad. I don't believe this to be true.

They both teach important lessons about people and who they are and how each person’s life choices can affect more than just them. I just believe A Sound of Thunder teaches a more important lesson about how everything you do and say affect the world not just yourself is much more defined then Nethergrave. In the end both stories were good it just all depends on your preferences to stories if you want to read them or not. I would read these stories over again, and if you’re into science fiction you should check them
