A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings

A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings was a very interesting and weird story, but held a great message. An old man with huge, nasty wings on his back was found on a beach and looked like he was in pain. He is then taken in and is housed in a chicken coop. The old man was abused and treated poorly because he didn't look like everyone else. People from all over came around to the see him and paid lots of money to do so.

The people began to believe that the old man was an angel and everyone was shocked. Later in the story it tells us that other people have been cursed, by having faults of their own. These people might've done something bad to get cursed. If you look deeper into this story and try to find an overall purpose and theme of the story it has a great message. It shows that you should treat everyone the same and should apply it to your daily life.

Hurricane Katrina

Hurricane Katrina was an extremely destructive and deadly cyclone and is ranked among the five deadliest hurricanes in the history of the United States. This hurricane disrupted many citizens lives in the south and ruined most of their belongings, maybe all they had. This left many people with no homes and the feeling of loss.  Hurricane Katrina was the largest and 3rd strongest hurricane ever recorded to make landfall in the United States.  In New Orleans, the levees were designed for Category 3 hurricanes, but Katrina was at a Category 5 hurricane, with winds up to 175 mph. The levees ended up breaking and flooding the city of New Orleans. I pray for the families that lost loved ones or that are still recovering from this horrific event. I also pray that we all stay safe during this hurricane season.

200. How do you use Wikipedia?

Wikipedia is described as a "multilingual, web-based, free-content encyclopedia project supported by the Wikimedia Foundation and based on a model of openly editable content." Basically it is a single website that has any answer you could ask for. This website is extremely easy to gather information, but it also has some catches. It is openly editable to all people which means that some people can post on this website even if they are not fully qualified to speak on the topic. Many students may want to go straight to Wikipedia to get their information because it is extremely easy, simple, and mindless. However, this may not always be the best option. You may receive false information and this will come back to hurt you after turning in your assignment. I us wikipedia to maybe get a general topic overview, but I do not use this site to gather all the information needed for my assignment.
