We all knew he didn’t have any in there, but it was still fun to talk like he did. In all the commotion we failed to realize that the bus had come to a stop on the side of the ... him. Not a word was exchanged for a full minute, the two just looked at each other, a battle of wits. Patrick was the first to speak. "Waddaya want?" he said with a sneer. "What’s in the box Patrick?" she thundered, as if the voice of God. "None of your business!" He retorted. He was "dead", what was going wrong in his head, she had at least two feet on him, and her arms could crush him like a worm in pliers. Time stood still. Why I will never understand. I wasn’t the one about to be brutally beaten in front of my peers. Patrick was a rock, immovable. His face never flinched, his voice never faltered. It was the perfect match, and one that we ...

- ... such competitiveness and pressure, how does this effect a child socially? Does it build character? Of course, there is nothing wrong with wanting children to live up to their potential. However, it is the child's ability to find and utilize that potential and sports can play a large role in this part. This paper will explore the sociology of sports and whether or not they effect the way children communicate ... at the same time not. For example would you include skiing, or biking as sports regardless of the conditions which people engage in them? What is the difference between play and sports? When a person's only goal is for personal satisfactions are they participating in a sport or playing?

- 4824: Computer Hardware
- ... costly and worthless. Most of the computers have good enough specs to run the software it needs to. Although here are some highly recommended changes. Optical Mice: This would greatly help as the ball mouse’s we have now get clogged up with dust and are need to be cleaned. Students cannot clean the mice themselves as they are locked so students don’t steal the balls. If optical mice were bought for the computers they would never need to be serviced and would brake rarely.

Also educational video DVD’s could be watched all around the school. Wireless LAN: Wireless LAN would be a great bound into the future as computers could be moved anywhere in school grounds without the hassle of network cables. ...

- ... ability and to search for learning disabilities. Tests such as the Wechler Intelligence Scale are used for intelligence testing, yet, much debate exists because of the need to change the test to meet the child's attention deficits (Braswell, 1991). A new intelligence test has been created by Naglieri (1997) called the Cognitive Assessment System to help diagnose and measure ADHD intelligence. This test is based on the premise that traditional tests don't measure processes such as planning and attention, which is essential in testing and detecting ADHD students. There is inconsistent data for the use of computerized tests of attention and vigilance for this purpose (Dulcan et al, 1997). Social Mediators In many cases the effects of ADHD on children’s intelligence is influenced by social factors. For instance studies show that symptoms become worse in situations which are unstructured, minimally supervised, boring, or require sustained attention or mental effort (Dulcan et al., 1997). A ...

Don’t kill him!” (I Kings 3:26). The mother of the dead child said to the King “Neither I nor you shall have him cut him in two” (I Kings 3:26). After hearing the reply ... that is “relatively simple and usually has only one trait” (Barnet, p.193). One may also consider the baby to be a minor and flat character. The baby is a flat character because he doesn’t communicate with any of the characters; he’s just a reason for the two women to approach the King. Three character traits of King Solomon are wisdom, knowledge, and fairness. Without these three traits Solomon would not have been able to provide ...

"Throw me down and beat me, you dirty little coward!" A moment later she rushed out into the dusk, waving her hands and shouting; before he could move from his door the business was over. The "death car" as the newspapers called it, didn't stop; it came out of the gathering darkness, wavered tragically for a moment and then disappeared around the next bend. Michaelis wasn't even sure of it's color---he told the first policeman ...

Boyle's voice is distinct because he has a satirical way of writing stories about the everyday life of people. He focuses on the unusual people and their peculiar circumstances, which in Boyle's case just adds to his already humorous stories. However, Boyle does not seem to concentrate on satire alone, he writes in a poetic fashion that allows the reader to enter the mind of the ...
