Personal Narrative: Tupa's Death
Afa’s perspective: Ghost of the lagoon. I kicked back and forth faster and faster all just to find Tupa right behind me“ Afa come back if you don’t Tupa will kill you” Mako Yelled, but it was too late Tupa surging out of the water to make the first attack, I bit him in the fin and then swam away. Tupa trying to attack again this time on the canoe, Mako drove back his spear and let flow in the wind hitting tupa. I made it back to the canoe barking as loud as I could. “Calm down Afa.” as Mako went closer to Tupa the more I started growling, I knew something sharks did that Mako didn’t, or at least I think i did . Mako going for the final attack pointing the spear at the chest slayed Tupa. They dragged the dead shark to shore to show the rest of the islanders. …show more content…
They cut open Tupa for all the meat that was inside him, but as Mako cut open the shark he found something bizarre “MAMA COME QUICK” Mako yelled at the top of his lungs “BARK BARK” I screamed. “Calm down afa” an islander said “MAMA” Mako then screamed again “I’m Coming” She said “Whats Wro-” She has been cut off by the thing that was inside the shark but I don’t know if “thing” was right More like “THIS MAN” but he looked so familiar could he be oh more like he

    It had been such a long and hard journey. The long walks and difficult terrain, the materials and luggage we had to carry seemed to weigh tons and the sweltering of summer and bitterness of winter was almost unbearable. Not to mention how precarious the whole trip was, one wrong step and we were goners, especially by the natives. We ran into some Mandan Indians and they refereed to us as the pretty people, which I mean, who am I to complain? But not all encounters with the natives were good, we had an especially frightening run in with the Teton Sioux Indians. We were just passing through the river and they cornered us! Luckily their chief called them off and we were on our way. We’re coming back home and all so obviously the journey was a…

    “Thaumaturgy the capability of a magician or a saint to use magic to make miracles,” that’s the general definition of a thaumaturge. Of course, there’s a lot more to it than just being a simple magician or some ‘Holy’ saint. Magic itself, also called Vis (v-ee-ce), is what’s hard to come by as in this world it’s all but forgotten, at least as far as I know. I haven’t come across anybody with a high affinity for magic in the entirety of my career, except for my master, but he’s long dead. I honestly never would’ve expected what was about come next either, my first encounter with a wizard that is.…

    The first time I met Anastasija was not quite the first time she ‘met’ me. In particular, before starting her high school education at NOVA International Schools, I had heard of Anastasija and her interests through my contact with one of her cousins, Ms. Bela Gligorova, who was my guidance counselor at that time. I was introduced to Anastasija in person in December 2010, right after I finished my college applications. An inquisitive young mind, a polite and thoughtful person, Anastasija’s curiosity and questions about my college application process and my high school accomplishments, struck me as novelty, since Anastasija was only in seventh grade at the time.…

    With my heart beating out of my chest, the only thing I could think of was that I did not want to die in Mexico. It was a warm sunny day as we started our ATV adventure outside of the comforts and security of the resort walls. There were 6 of us and we planned to take turns driving. When it was our turn, we could go anywhere we could get the machine. The rental guy was nice enough to loan us his personal iPod, as the machine had a stereo. The iPod was filled with Mexican music of all sorts. How fitting, we realized. What would a Mexican adventure be without the music?…

    Taiji Dolphin Hunt

    Imagine you are gliding through the still blue ocean, surrounded by your family and friends. Suddenly, a loud booming sound breaks through the peaceful underworld. Before you know it, you have been herded into a bay and sealed off from the free world. You watch and wait as others are picked and plucked from the water; they are the “lucky” ones. Next thing you know, a metal rod has pierced your spine, instantly paralysing you but not yet killing you. You are then tied to a boat by your feet and dragged through, struggling for breath and slowing drowning. The last thing you see and feel is a blade slicing through your body, spilling out the contents as you drift into eternal darkness. Shocking as it may be, this becomes a harsh reality for many helpless dolphins swimming the Taiji waters.…

    According to Bethany, this attack came from out of the blue. She said,” the water was crystal clear and calm; it was more like swimming in a pool, rather than the deep ocean waters in Kauai, Hawaii.” The waves were small and consistent, and she was just rolling along with them, relaxing on her board. Suddenly she saw a flash of gray. Bethany felt a lot of pressure and a couple of fast tugs. The fifteen-foot tiger shark covered the top of her board and her left arm. Then she watched in shock as the water turned red. Bethany managed to stay calm and she paddled out of the water.…

Our family is sitting at the dinner table and he’s giving my sister’s new boyfriend a hard time.

    Hello everyone. Today, I'm going to be taking a bit of a different route than I normally do. Normally you see me laughing and stuff, but for this post I want to be a little serious. Now, February 1'st marked the one-year anniversary of Monyreak "Monty" Oum's death. As for how he died, he went to the hospital last year on January 22. After being hospitalized, he endured a severe allergic reaction during a routine medical procedure. Then, on February 1 at 4:34 PM, he succumbed to the result of the severe reaction he previously underwent. For those of you who don't know, Monty was one of the proud people to have worked Rooster Teeth. And he didn't just work at Rooster Teeth; he also directed many of the shows there and was the original creator…

    Along the coastlines of U.S.A, Africa and Australia, sharks, especially the Great Whites, have received a bad reputation as very aggressive predators that like to attack and eat human beings. There is a long, complex and often bloody relationship between Carcharodon Carcharias and Homo sapiens. The great white’s reputation as ferocious predator is well-earned, yet these marine animals are not as once believed –indiscriminate ‘’eating machines’’. They are ambush hunters, taking prey by surprise from below or behind. After some research about these creatures, it is very easy to accept the belief and idea that they do not attack people without a definite or convincing reason.…
