Genetics science summary

Genetics is the art of studying genes. People have millions of genes. The most important genes are reproductive genes. These genes are sperms and eggs.<See last essay.> Genes are important as they can heal injuries and cure sicknesses.


Some genes can help us live in other ways. The genes in our lungs help our lungs to work. The genes in our heart help it to pump oxygen through our blood. Without these genes,we would die.

The Red Badge of Courage

A youth named Henry went to join the army. The people used bad spelling like "Allus" Instead of always. Henry was told that the army was going to fight tomorrow. He was told that it was to be big battle. He marched with assurance. He was told that they were going to win the battle. The man that said that was wrong. This was the Civil war. The rebels came at them swiftly so that the arm had to retreat. Henry was running when he found an old forest sanctuary. He saw an old,dead man. He ran for his life. He saw ants climbing on the mans head as he ran. He ran right into a rebel attack. He got grazed by a bullet on his head. He found his camp and was treated by his friend. He returned home and was praised by his loved ones.

Science summary

                                                Sexual reproduction

Sexual reproduction is how many creatures reproduce. Mammals like us are one example. Many creatures will inherit some of their parents traits. Others will not. Some creatures like the grebe (a bird) do a dance before mating. this dance shows that it is a grebe,not another bird.


Gametes are sex cells . The sperm fertilizes the egg  and the egg turns into a baby. Some creatures lay eggs outside of their bodies while other eggs stay inside of a body. Mammals have eggs inside of their bodies that the sperm comes to. The egg will stay still and the sperm will move to it.


The gametes are eggs and sperms. They are what make babies. These babies could develop inside the body of a mammal or outside of another creature. Fish reproduce by laying many eggs and spraying the sperm on them. Not all the eggs will get hit by the sperm.

Art history Writing

George Bellows was  very involved with his subjects. He saw them and met them and painted them but he didn't really know them well. His paintings made me feel sad. His paintigs made me feel sad because people died in some and they were not the people on Glee. He did know his most popular models pretty well though. He painted soon-to-be famous people.

Seize the day

Seize the day is about Tommy Wilhelm. Tommy is away from his wife and wanting a divorce. But she will not divorce him. His father told him not to trust a man named Tamkin who is a psychiatrist and knows about the market. He convinces Tommy to buy some lard and says it will go up in price. He is very wrong. 

Tommy always goes to breakfast with his dad and one day he finds his dad's new friend there. He drinks Coca Cola and eats breakfast. He meets Tamkin and talks about Tamkin's patients. They go to the market and check lard but its price has gone down. So Tamkin buys December rye. Tommy is soon nearly broke and his dad will not lend him money,but his wife needs money for her boys and asks him for it.

Tommy goes down to a street corner. There he sees Tamkin standing. Tamkin is talking to man,but Tommy cannot hear what about. Tommy sees he is near a funeral and leaves. He soon thinks about money again and asks his dad again. His dad says no and his wife needs more money soon. Tommy tells her about how he is broke and cannot send money,but she does not listen.

Science

While many creatures use sexual reproduction,others can use asexual reproduction. The anemone is one such creature. It can stretch over areas to make two of itself. This makes a clone. A clone is an exact copy of something else. If the original had a defect,the clone will too.
