GAME

Games are always fun and who doesn’t enjoy them? However, when it comes to a game of firing a missile to an unknown place, it might not be so fun after all. I think that the story “Game” is really interesting because it has a very deep meaning to it. The story is about two men who are stuck in an underground bunker being watched by someone else and they are waiting for a signal to come. I think that they are living in the time of a nuclear war and these two men are underground waiting for the signal to fire a missile. I think that these two men live under fear everyday, because first of all, they are being watched. Second of all, they both have weapons and if one seems to act strange the other one is supposed to kill him. Therefore, I think that this is a very interesting story because it has the title “Game” but it is not fun at all.

THE GIRL WHO WOULDN'T TALK

I think that the story “the girl who wouldn’t talk” was an interesting story. It is about this Chinese-American girl who wouldn’t talk and the narrator, also a Chinese-American girl, who tries to make her talk. I think that this story was quite interesting because its shows how the narrator experience internal conflicts because she wants to become more American but at home she still follows Chinese traditions. The girl who wouldn’t talk is very shy and she follows her sister around. Therefore, the author sees submissiveness in the girl who wouldn’t talk and she sees herself in the girl. She doesn’t want to admit that they are alike and she doesn’t want to be submissive, so she decides to make the girl speak. She used many violent acts to make her speak such as pulling her hair. However, in the end the girl still didn’t speak and the author soon realizes that it’s not that bad to be protected.

SCIENCE FAIR

      When it comes to the topic of saving, I always hear something about showers saving more water than baths. Fortunately, the theme for our science fair this year is saving, so I decided to test this statement to see whether or not its is true. First of all, I came up with the hypothesis that showers do save more water than baths however, I also thought about another condition, what if the water runs for 30 minutes during your shower? Then, does that still save more water than baths?

      After my experiment, I conclude that showers do save more water than baths. By testing my hypothesis, I measured the amount of waters that would be used during a bath and a shower and showers do use less water. However, I noticed that if you keep your water running during your shower for more than 20 minutes than it doesn’t save more water than baths anymore.
