Some Animals Live in Rock Caves

Many animals like the protection and shelter of rock caves for homes.

Tiger

Tigers are the largest member of the cat family. There are many types of tigers mostly living in southern continents such as Asia.

They like to live in mountainous regions where caves provide shelter from the heat.

Bear

Bears are large mammals that live in many areas of the world, including North America, Europe and Asia.

Some bears, like the brown bear, like to live in mountainous areas where caves provide a good shelter.

Fish, Crab, Sea Urchin, and Morey Eel

Many sea animals also like to live in caves. Animals such as the crab and sea urchin bury themselves among the rocks.

The morey eel likes to live in small holes or crevices in a coral reef. They hide in these holes, and quickly emerge to grab a passing fish for food.

Bat

There are many types of bats living mostly in warm climates. Bats are the only mammals that can fly. Bats sleep during the day, and come out at night in search of food. Bats use echolocation, the ability to listen to sounds bouncing off objects, to help guide them in the dark and to find food.

Many bats live in caves where they are sheltered from light during the day. They hang upside down hooking their feet into cracks in the roof of a cave or in a hollow tree.

Some Animals Live in the Ground

Lots of animals dig burrows in the ground for a home and shelter.

Gopher, Squirrel, Mole, Rabbit, and Skunk

Small rodents like the gopher, ground squirrel, mole, and rabbit dig burrows in the ground, or under logs and rocks, to provide shelter.

Many of these animals, like the gopher, create very extensive underground burrow systems. They connect together many entrance and exit holes with tunnels, allowing them to travel underground.

Worms and Ants

Other animals including the earthworm and ants also live in the ground.
The earthworm's long, slender body helps it move through moist soil. The earthworm eats and digests the soil as it moves through it.

Some Animals Live in Trees

Many animals live in trees as a safe place away from predators on the ground.

Tree Homes

Animals often make homes in old hollowed out trees. The tree provides both shelter and protection from other animals and predators.

Tree Squirrel

The tree is home to many rodents such as the squirrel. The squirrel lives in many areas of the world. It is easily recognized by its bushy tail. Although some squirrels live in burrows underground, the tree squirrel makes its home in trees.

There are about 55 different types of tree squirrels living in the United States, Europe and Asia. The gray squirrel is a very common tree squirrel living in North America. Tree squirrels have bushier tails than ground squirrels and they use it for balance as they run along tree branches.Squirrels are great tree climbers. They can make leaps of 10 to 15 feet from branch to branch.

In addition to being a safe place away from predators, the squirrel can collect nuts, berries and fruit for food, and store them in the tree.

Owl

Owls are large birds of prey who are best known for their hooting calls. Owls are generally nocturnal animals tending to sleep during the day and come out at night.

Most owls prefer to live in wooded areas, although some owls will find a home in old church steeples or old buildings.

An owl can be easily recognized by its large eyes on the front of its flattened face, and its hooked beak. Its large eyes, positioned on a flat face gives the owl very good eye sight. The owl also has very good hearing, allowing it to easily catch rodents, such as a mouse, in the dark.

Monkey and Chimpanzee

Monkeys and chimpanzees are mammals which along with humsns are port of the primate family. They tend to live in the warm climates of Africa, Asia, Central America and South America.

Monkey's fingers and toes are well adapted for living in trees, allowing them to run and swing from branch to branch.

Chimpanzees are one of the most popular animals, studied for intelligence and similarity to humans. They have the ability to use tools, such as sticks, to help them catch bugs or to crack open nuts for food. They build their nests from branches and vines in trees.

Snake

Some snakes, such as the Green Mamba of Africa, live in trees. In trees they can catch lizards, bird's eggs and small rodents for food.

The green tree python also lives in trees. Pythons can grow to be very large, some as long as 30 feet. They have powerful bodies which they use to wrap around their prey, such as rodents and small animals, squeezing tightly to suffocate their victim.

Some Animals Live in Nests

The most common animals living in nests are birds.

Bird Nests

Nests are built by birds and other animals, as a home for themselves and especially for their eggs.

Most nests are bowl-shaped and built in tree branches, on the ground, or even in buildings. They are made of twigs, leaves, and grass held together with mud or saliva.

Some Insects Live in Hives

The honeybee and bumblebee are very social insects. They live and work in large colonies, and build large nests or hives.

Bees

Bees live in colonies, often with several hundred bees sharing the same hive or nest. The hive is usually built in the ground, in trees, or even buildings.

Worker bees collect pollen and nectar from flowers which are used to create wax to build the hive. The queen bee creates the wax in her abdomen, which she uses to build chambers or cells where she lays her eggs.

In the process of building their hive, bees play a very important role pollinating flowers and plants. As a bee gathers nectar from a flower, tiny grains of pollen will stick to its hairy legs and body. When the bee flies to another flower for nectar, the pollen on its legs and body brushes off to help furtilize the flower.

Some Animals Live in Barns

Many domestic animals live on farms. Their home is usually a barn or some form of pen. Most animals raised on farms are used to provide milk or food, but some of them like the horse, can also be used to help with farm work.

Horse

Most horses are domesticated, living on farms. They are used for a wide variety of things. People ride horse for fun or to help with farm work. Horses can also be used to plough fields. Many horses are used for sport, such as horse racing.

There are also wild horses that live in grassy plain areas, but there aren't many left, as people have taken over the land.

Cow

The cow is a very common farm animal. There are many types of cows. Some cows are used to provide milk and cream, which in turn is used to make other foods such as cheese. Other cows are raised for beef.

Some Animals Live in Webs

A spider's home is very easy to recognize. Their distinctive web has many other purposes. Read on to find out ...

Spiders

There are over 32,000 types of spiders living on Earth. They live in almost every area from the hottest tropics to the cold continent of Antarctica. Spiders are easily identified by their 8 legs and their ability to spin a web.

Spiders eat insects that they catch in their web. They have fangs to bite the insect. Many spiders also have poisonous glands to help kill the insects, and some are even poisonous to humans.

Spiders have the ability to produce silk from an organ in their abdomen called the spinneret. The spider's web has many purposes in addition to being a place to live.

Spiders use their web to trap insects for food. Once an insect is caught, they may also use their web to tie up their victim.

Spiders also lay a line of silk as they move around. They anchor the line to a surface, and use the line just like a mountain climber uses their safety rope.

Some Animals Live in Water

About two-thirds of the Earth is covered with water. This is home for many of the Earth's creatures.

Fish

A wide variety of fish live in the sea. Many types of fish live in fresh water like rivers and lakes. Other types of fish live in the salt water of the oceans and seas.
The water is not only the fishes' home, but it also provides them with the food and oxygen they need to live.

Crabs and Lobsters

Crabs and lobsters live mostly in the ocean or other waters.

Sea Ray

Sea rays fly through the water like birds through air. The biggest rays are the manta rays. Some kinds of mantas can grow to over 20 feet from tip to tip, and can weigh more than 3000 pounds.

Whales and Dolphins

Although whales and dolphins live in water, they are mammals. They cannot breathe under water. They must come to the surface to breathe air. They breathe through a blowhole, or nostrils, on the top of their head. Babies are born under water, but must be pushed to the surface by the mother so the bady can take a breath.

The circulatory and respiratory systems have adapted to living in water. Whales and dolphins can dive deep in the water on a single breath.

Pets Live in Peoples Homes

Look familiar? Many animals live in peoples' homes as pets.

Dogs and Cats

Dogs and cats are very common pets. Most live in the home of their owner.
There are many other types of pets living in their owner's home, such as fish, hamsters, birds, and even unusual pets like snakes and lizards.

ANIMAL CLASSES

Vertebrates

The five most well known classes of vertebrates are mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, amphibians. They are all part of the phylum chordate.

Mammals

People are mammals. So are dogs, cats, horses, duckbill platypuses, kangaroos, dolphins and whales. If an animal drinks milk when it is a baby and has hair on its body, it belongs to the mammal class. Dog , Coyote , Polar Bear , Elephant , Giraffe , Camel , Dolphin , Vampire Bats , Horse , Fox

Birds

Birds are animals that have feathers and that are born out of hard-shelled eggs. Some people think that what makes an animal a bird is its wings. Bats have wings. Flies have wings. Bats and flies are not birds. The truth is that it is the feathers who makes an animal a bird and not wings. All birds have feathers and birds are the only animals that do. The feathers on a bird's wings and tail overlap. Because they overlap, the feathers catch and hold the air. This helps the bird to fly, steer itself and land. Crow , Peafowl , Birds , Duck , Owl , Pigeon , Flamingo , Woodpecker , Ostrich , Sparrow , Chicken

Fish

Fish are vertebrates that live in water and have gills, scales and fins on their body. There are a lot of different fish and many of them look very odd indeed. There are blind fish, fish with noses like elphants, fish that shoot down passing bugs with a stream of water and even fish that crawl onto land and hop about! Fishes

Reptiles

Reptiles are a class of animal with scaly skin. They are cold blooded and are born on land. Snakes, lizards, crocodiles, alligators and turtles all belong to the reptile class. Reptiles , Crocodile , Chameleon , Tortoise , Turtle

Amphibians

Amphibians are born in the water. When they are born, they breath with gills like a fish. But when they grow up, they develop lungs and can live on land. Frog

Invertebrates

There are also a lot of animals without backbones. These are called invertebrates and are part of the phylum arthropoda (arthropods). Two of the most commonly known classes in this phylum are arachnids (spiders) and insects.

Arthropods

Arthropods is a huge phylum of animals -- it includes eleven animal classes: Merostomata, Pycnogonida, Arachnida, Remipedia, Cephalocarida, Branchiopoda, Maxillopoda, Malacostraca, Chilopoda, Diplopoda, and Insecta. Any animals that have more than four, jointed legs are arthropods. Insects, spiders and crustaceans all belong to this class of animals. Insects , Spider , Grasshoppers , Praying Mantis , Dragonfly , Butterfly , Bees

Some more classes of Animals

Cannibals

A cannibal is an animal that feeds on others of its own species. This is not an animal unnatural characteristics: around 140 different species show cannibalistic tendencies under various conditions. Cannibalism is most common among lower vertebrates and invertebrates often due to a predatory animal mistaking one of its own kind for prey. But it also occurs among birds and mammals, especially when food is scarce.

In sexual cannibalism as recorded for example for the female red-back spider, black widow spider, praying mantis, and scorpion the female eats the male after mating (though the frequency of this is often overstated).

The more common form of cannibalism is size structured cannibalism, in which large individuals consume smaller ones. Such size structured cannibalism has commonly been observed in the wild for a variety of taxa, including octopus, bats, toads, fish, monitor lizards, red-backed salamanders and several stream salamanders, crocodiles, spiders, crustaceans, birds (crows, barred owls), mammals, and a vast number of insects, such as dragonflies, diving beetles, back swimmers, water striders, flour beetles, caddisflies and many more.

Carnivores

A carnivore meaning 'meat eater' is an animal with a diet consisting mainly of meat, whether it comes from animals living or dead (scavenging). Some animals are considered carnivores even if their diets contain very little meat but involve preying on other animals Animals that subsist on a diet consisting only of meat are referred to as obligate carnivores. Plants that capture and digest insects are called carnivorous plants. Similarly fungi that capture microscopic animals are often called carnivorous fungi.Cat , Tiger , Cheetah , Lion , Brown Bears , Penguin , Sharks , Snake

Herbivores

A herbivore is any organism that normally consumes only autotrophs such as plants, algae and photosynthesizing bacteria.Gorilla , Orangutan , Monkey , Panda , Hippopotamus , Rhinocerose , Kangaroo

Omnivores

Omnivores are the animals who eat and digest both animals and plants. They are primary and high level consumers. Humans are omnivorous as they take vegetables and meat. It include fish, humans, domestic dog, pig, bear, rodents, Opossums, Raccoons, Foxes, Rails, Rhea, Most gulls, Chickens, Crows, Domestic pigeons. Squirrel , Chimpanzee , Pig

Detritivores

Detritivores (also known as saprophages, detrivores or detritus feeders) are organisms that recycle detritus (decomposing organic material), returning it into the food chain. Earthworms are a well-known example of detritus feeders, eating rotting plant leaves and other debris. Groups of detritivorous animals include: millipedes, woodlice, dung beetles, dung flies and burying beetles

Scavengers

The word scavenger, in zoology, refers to animals that consume already dead organic life-forms. Scavengers are useful to the ecosystem by feeding on and therefore breaking down dead animal and plant remains. The remains that are left behind by the scavengers are then used even further by decomposers. Well known scavengers include vultures, burying beetles, blowflies, and raccoons. Many large carnivores that hunt regularly--such as hyenas and lions--will scavenge if given the chance.

Cloud

- is a visible mass of droplets or frozen crystals floating in the atmosphere above the surface of the Earth or another planetary body.

- is also a visible mass attracted by gravity, such as masses of material in space called interstellar clouds and nebulae.

- are studied in the nephology or cloud physics branch of meteorology.

What are clouds?

A cloud is a large collection of very tiny droplets of water or ice crystals. The droplets are so small and light that they can float in the air.

How are clouds formed?

All air contains water, but near the ground it is usually in the form of an invisible gas called water vapor. When warm air rises, it expands and cools. Cool air can't hold as much water vapor as warm air, so some of the vapor condenses onto tiny pieces of dust that are floating in the air and forms a tiny droplet around each dust particle. When billions of these droplets come together they become a visible cloud.

Why are clouds white?

Clouds are white because they reflect the light of the sun. Light is made up of colors of the rainbow and when you add them all together you get white. The sun appears a yellow color because it sends out more yellow light than any other color. Clouds reflect all the colors the exact same amount so they look white.

Why do clouds turn gray?

Clouds are made up of tiny water droplets or ice crystals, usually a mixture of both. The water and ice scatter all light, making clouds appear white. If the clouds get thick enough or high enough all the light above does not make it through, hence the gray or dark look. Also, if there are lots of other clouds around, their shadow can add to the gray or multicolored gray appearance.

Why do clouds float?

A cloud is made up of liquid water droplets. A cloud forms when air is heated by the sun. As it rises, it slowly cools it reaches the saturation point and water condenses, forming a cloud. As long as the cloud and the air that its made of is warmer than the outside air around it, it floats!

How do clouds move?

Clouds move with the wind. High cirrus clouds are pushed along by the jet stream, sometimes traveling at more than 100 miles-per-hour. When clouds are part of a thunderstorm they usually travel at 30 to 40 mph.

How is fog formed?

There are many different types of fog, but fog is mostly formed when southerly winds bring warm, moist air into a region, possibly ending a cold outbreak. As the warm, moist air flows over much colder soil or snow, dense fog often forms. Warm, moist air is cooled from below as it flows over a colder surface. If the air is near saturation, moisture will condense out of the cooled air and form fog. With light winds, the fog near the ground can become thick and reduce visibilities to zero.

CIRRUS CLOUDS

Cirrus clouds

- are the most common of the high clouds. They are composed of ice and are thin, wispy clouds blown in high winds into long streamers. Cirrus clouds are usually white and predict fair to pleasant weather. By watching the movement of cirrus clouds you can tell from which direction weather is approaching. When you see cirrus clouds, it usually indicates that a change in the weather will occur within 24 hours.

Cirrostratus clouds

- are thin, sheetlike high clouds that often cover the entire sky. They are so thin that the sun and moon can be seen through them. Cirrostratus clouds usually come 12-24 hours before a rain or snow storm.

Cirrocumulus clouds

- appear as small, rounded white puffs that appear in long rows. The small ripples in the cirrocumulus clouds sometime resemble the scales of a fish. Cirrocumulus clouds are usually seen in the winter and indicate fair, but cold weather. In tropical regions, they may indicate an approaching hurricane.

"ALTO" CLOUDS

Altostratus clouds

- are gray or blue-gray mid level clouds composed of ice crystals and water droplets. The clouds usually cover the entire sky. In the thinner areas of the clouds, the sun may be dimly visible as a round disk. Altostratus clouds often form ahead of storms with continuous rain or snow.

Altocumulus clouds

- are mid level clouds that are made of water droplets and appear as gray puffy masses. They usually form in groups. If you see altocumulus clouds on a warm, sticky morning, be prepared to see thunderstorms late in the afternoon.

STRATUS CLOUDS

Stratus clouds

- are uniform grayish clouds that often cover the entire sky. They resemble fog that doesn't reach the ground. Light mist or drizzle sometimes falls out of these clouds.

Stratocumulus clouds

- are low, puffy and gray. Most form in rows with blue sky visible in between them. Rain rarely occurs with stratocumulus clouds, however, they can turn into nimbostratus clouds.

Nimbostratus clouds

- form a dark gray, wet looking cloudy layer associated with continuously falling rain or snow. They often produce precipitation that is usually light to moderate.

CUMULUS CLOUDS

Cumulus clouds

- are white, puffy clouds that look like pieces of floating cotton. Cumulus clouds are often called "fair-weather clouds". The base of each cloud it flat and the top of each cloud has rounded towers. When the top of the cumulus clouds resemble the head of a cauliflower, it is called cumulus congestus or towering cumulus. These clouds grow upward and they can develop into giant cumulonimbus clouds, which are thunderstorm clouds.

Cumulonimbus clouds

- are thunderstorm clouds. High winds can flatten the top of the cloud into an anvil-like shape. Cumulonimbus clouds are associated with heavy rain, snow, hail, lightning and even tornadoes. The anvil usually points in the direction the storm is moving.

SPECIAL CLOUDS

Mammatus clouds

- are low hanging bulges that droop from cumulonimbus clouds. Mammatus clouds are usually associated with severe weather.

Lenticular clouds

- are caused by a wave wind pattern created by the mountains. They look like discs or flying saucers that form near mountains.

Fog

- is a cloud on the ground. It is composed of billions of tiny water droplets floating in the air. Fog exists if the atmospheric visibility near the Earth's surface is reduced to 1 kilometer or less.

Contrails

- are condensation trails left behind jet aircrafts. Contrails form when hot humid air from jet exhaust mixes with environmental air of low vapor pressure and low temperature. The mixing is a result of turbulence generated by the engine exhaust.

Green Clouds

- are often associated with severe weather. They form when the clouds are illuminated by light reflected off green vegetation, such as large corn fields or a heavily wooded forest. In the Great Plains region of the U.S. green clouds are associated with storms likely to produce tornadoes.

CLOUDS

Cloud

- is a visible mass of droplets or frozen crystals floating in the atmosphere above the surface of the Earth or another planetary body.
- is also a visible mass attracted by gravity, such as masses of material in space called interstellar clouds and nebulae.
- are studied in the nephology or cloud physics branch of meteorology.

PARTS OF FLOWER

The flower is the plant part where seeds are made to make more plants of its type. There are many different types of flowers, however they all have four basic parts; the petals, the sepals, the carpel and the stamen. The main parts of a flower that are important for its function are its male and female parts, the carpel and the

1.Petals
Petals are the most visually attractive parts of the flower. Petals grow in all colors and in a wide range of styles and shapes and the function is to attract insects to enter the center of the flower. In addition to vibrant colors, petals are often pleasantly scented.

2.Carpel Parts: Stigma and Style
The stigma and style are two of the four parts that make up the carpel part of the flower, which is the flower's female part. The stigma is located at the top of the style, and it is very sticky so that pollen will stick to it.
The style is located at the base of the stigma and its function is to widen the gap between the stigma and the plant's ovary, to prevent overpollination.

3.Carpel Parts: Ovary and Ovule
The other two parts of the carpel are the ovary and the ovule. The ovary houses the ovule. Fertilization of the flower converts the ovary into the fruit and the ovule into the fruit's seed.

4.Receptacle and Peduncle
The flower is attached to the peduncle--the flower stalk--by the receptacle. The flower stalk is responsible for giving the flowering plant elevation and support, so that it is not destroyed by contact with the ground and insects.

5.Nectary
Flowering plants produce nectar to attract insects to it, so that the insects can assist in the pollination process. The nectary is the flower part that stores the flower's sweet nectar.

6.Sepal
At the base of the flower is a leaf-like part. This is the sepal, which is responsible for protecting the budding flower from damage in its infancy stage. The sepal also graciously cradles the mature flower at its base.

7.Stamen
The stamen of a flower is the flower's male part. It is composed of two parts, the filament and the anther. The filament supports the anther, which is at the top of the filament. Pollen is released from the anther's pollen sacs. In pollination, the flower attracts beneficial bugs by its bright color and sweet nectar to rub against the anther's pollen sacs. As the insect moves, the pollen rubs off, either onto the stigma of the same flower, or another flower's stigma. Wind also transfers pollen from the anther to the stigma. This is the method by which flowers are fertilized.

2. Sequence

The Olympic games began as athletic festivals to honor the Greek gods. The most important festival was held in the valley of Olympia to honor Zeus, the king of the gods. It was this festival that became the Olympic games in 776 B.C. These games were ended in A.D. 394 by the Roman Emperor who ruled Greece. No Olympic games were held for more than 1,500 years. Then the modern Olympics began in 1896. Almost 300 male athletes competed in the first modern Olympics In the games held in 1900, female athletes were allowed to compete. The games have continued every four years since 1896 except during World War II, and they will most likely continue for many years to come.

Pattern

3. Comparison

The modern Olympics is very unlike the ancient Olympic games. Individual events are different. While there were no swimming races in the ancient games, for example, there were chariot races. There were no female contestants and all athletes competed in the nude. Of course, the ancient and modern Olympics are also alike in many ways. Some events, such as the javelin and discus throws, are the same. Some people say that cheating, professionalism, and nationalism in the modern games are a disgrace to the Olympic tradition. But according to the ancient Greek writers, there were many cases of cheating, nationalism, and professionalism in their Olympics too.

Pattern

4. Cause and Effect

There are several reasons why so many people attend the Olympic games or watch them on television. One reason is tradition. The name Olympics and the torch and flame remind people of the ancient games. People can escape the ordinariness of daily life by attending or watching the Olympics. They like to identify with someone else's individual sacrifice and accomplishment. National pride is another reason, and an athlete's or a team's hard earned victory becomes a nation's victory. There are national medal counts and people keep track of how many medals their country's athletes have won.

Pattern

5. Problem and Solution

One problem with the modern Olympics is that it has become very big and expensive to operate. The city or country that hosts the games often loses a lot of money. A stadium, pools, and playing fields must be built for the athletic events and housing is needed for the athletes who come from around the world. And all of these facilities are used for only 2 weeks! In 1984, Los Angeles solved these problems by charging a fee for companies who wanted to be official sponsors of the games. Companies like McDonald's paid a lot of money to be part of the Olympics. Many buildings that were already built in the Los Angeles area were also used. The Coliseum where the 1932 games were held was used again and many colleges and universities in the area became playing and living sites.

Expository Writing

Expository Writing

Exposition is a type of oral or written discourse that is used to explain, describe, give information or inform. The creator of an expository text can not assume that the reader or listener has prior knowledge or prior understanding of the topic that is being discussed. One important point to keep in mind for the author is to try to use words that clearly show what they are talking about rather then blatantly telling the reader what is being discussed. Since clarity requires strong organization, one of the most important mechanisms that can be used to improve our skills in exposition is to provide directions to improve the organization of the text.


PATTERN:

1.Description- The author describes a topic by listing characteristics, features, and examples. (cue words)for example, char- acteristics are

2.Sequence- The author lists items or events in numerical or chronological order.
(cue words)first, second, third; next; then; finally

3.Comparison- The author explains how two or more things are alike and/or how they are different. (cue words)different; in contrast; alike; same as; on the other hand

4.Cause and Effect- The author lists one or more causes and the resulting effect or effects. (cue words)reasons why; if...then; as a result; therefore; because

5.Problem and Solution- The author states a problem and lists one or more solutions for the problem. A variation of this pattern is the question- and-answer format in which the author poses a question and then answers it.(cue words)problem is; dilemma is; puzzle is solved; question... answer

WRITING

Writing

Writing is an active process of creation, discovery, reflection, and reinforcement. Writing in the content areas helps students to learn and construct knowledge: to acquire, synthesize, and analyze information as they make sense of key ideas. Writing is also a key element in representing knowledge.

The following basic tenets guide writing instruction in the content areas:

1.Each discipline has its own conventions of language use and style, and these conventions must be taught to students.

2.Writing tasks should be rooted deeply in meaningful content.

3.Students should have an opportunity to engage in the writing process, which includes planning and revising across multiple drafts.

4.Students should write for authentic audiences and purposes, exercising some choice over their topics, as relevant.

5.Students should be given opportunities to collaborate with others (teacher or peers), incorporate feedback, and reflect upon their work.

6.Students should have a chance to write frequently and regularly.

7.Students should know in advance the criteria that will be used to assess their writing.

Narrative Writing

The purpose of narrative writing is to tell a story. Good narrative writing is more than a list of random events. It has tension – a problem to be solved or a challenge to be overcome. There is a point to the story.

Narrative Writing Should:

•Answer the question, WHAT HAPPENED?

•Go beyond WHAT HAPPENED (the facts), and tell WHY (the motives or reasons) behind the event. The WHY will focus on facts as they led the writer to some type of knowledge, insight, or lesson learned.

We ate, and then headed on up the trail that led to the truck.
Malcolm reached out for my hat and missed. It fell in the river. He reached out to pick it up as it started to drift away. He reached a little further. Malcolm got ahold of it.

“Yellow Mama”

When I was one year old we moved to a ranch about seven miles from the highway. After we arrived and were fairly well settled we found out there were some cats living on the ranch too. Yellow Mama was one of them. She was a yellow cat with a white bib.
Yellow Mama was a gentle cat, in the years that followed she had at least five batches of kittens. She cared for them all, they usually looked like her, but not always. Sometimes she had six kittens in one batch!
When I was seven years old Yellow Mama was still with us. During the summer, Kirk, my brother who was nine, and I decided we wanted to climb a big rock on the hillside near our house. We were almost to the rock when I saw poor Yellow Mama lying near a brush, dead. I told Kirk to come see what had happened.
We were both very sad, we had loved her very much. We decided not to climb the rock, I was crying. When we were running back to the house, mom heard me crying and came out to see if I was hurt. We told her what had happened and then went into the house.
When dad came home we told him. The next day he buried Yellow Mama. Said it looked like a snake or something had bitten her neck.
I will never forget Yellow Mama. I am eleven years old and still think about how nice and kind she was, she had been a good cat.

Broken Heart? If you believe your life is over, think again... there is hope!

There are times in everyone's life when tragedy strikes and all seems lost. And, indeed, sometimes there isn't anything you can do. But in the case of a broken heart due to a lost love, there may be additional avenues that could be of great benefit to you.

If you believe in the spiritual world--that there are forces beyond our grasp of knowledge that we simply can't comprehend, then you may have a pleasant surprise ahead of you. A Master Psychic could make contact with the one you love--no matter how stubborn the resistance, no matter how far this person may be from you, no matter how hopeless your situation appears.

And upon making contact, the seed will be planted to soften their heart! After all, if you have read this far, you most likely believe that once the love of your life comes to his or her senses, they will realize you are their one and only. It is you they love. And it is you who will be their partner for the rest of time.

So if you are alone and miserable without this special person, you are at a crossroads. And you have an important decision to make. You must decide if you are ready to give this person up once and for all, and move on with your life. Or you may want to give it one last try. One last attempt to retrieve this person who presently seems so adamant about staying away.
