    Personal Response The Blue Marble is a photograph of Earth that was taken December 7th‚ 1972 when the Apollo 17 crew were travelling toward the moon.

    The Marble Champ

    As I began reading the story The Marble Champ by Gary Soto‚ I realized that the main character‚ Lupe Medrano‚ often compares herself to others. As a result‚ she feels badly about her athletic abilities. She seems to think that she’s only good at something in which she can win. Right at the start of the story‚ Lupe’s accomplishments are impressive. But all Lupe seems to notice is that she cannot run as fast as the other girls in school. Another example of Lupe comparing herself to others

The experience cannot be obtained

    Walter C. Gwin Sr. HUMN-B21 Elgin Marbles I will take the position that the Elgin Marbles should remain in the British museum. Ancient artifacts are a means of understanding a culture’s value system‚ their beliefs and their worldview. It is important that these artifacts be preserved as much as possible. The Parthenon is “the greatest of all Greek temples. It was built in the old Doric order‚ even though it was built in the middle of the classical age when the Ionic style was coming into vogue”
