Science

I've had trouble finding a picture for a science assignment....it has to be a picture of either competition, predation, or symbiosis....in my community...do you have any ideas of everyday sightings of one of these three interactions between organisms.

My Pear Tree

Today we cut down the pear tree in our front yard. As it slowly fell, I wondered:

-How many homes for animals did we destroy?

-How many sources of food did we annihilate?

-How many plants did we kill?

-How many organisms will suffer?

-How many organisms were in that tree when it fell?

Just thoughts.

Remember, though: One small act can change the way the world works, and not for the better.

The Last Airbender Movie Review

Hey there, readers!!!

So, here's my review of The Last Airbender, the new movie produced and directed by M. Night Shyamalan.

The four nations- Air, Water, Earth, and Fire- used to live in harmony. That all changed when the Fire Nation attacked. Only the Avatar, master of all four elements, had the power to stop them. But when the world needed him the most, he vanished. One-hundred years later, Katara and Sokka, siblings from the Southern Water Tribe, discovered the new Avatar, an Airbender named Aang. And although Aang's Airbending is great, he still has a lot to learn before he can save anyone. In this cartoon-based movie, Aang must travel to the Northern Water Tribe and learn how to master Waterbending.

First of all, I have to say, DO NOT WATCH THE SHOW BEFORE YOU WATCH THE MOVIE!!! I should know, because I am an Avatar: The Last Airbender cartoon fanatic, and the movie did not live up to the show. Second, none of the characters in the movie look anything like the anime from the show (except for Aang, and the Northern Water Tribe Princess Yue). Also, the names of people were mispronounced, from the show to the movie. (On the show, Sokka's name is pronounced Sah-kka and in the movie it is pronounced SO-kka. Plus, the name of Zuko's uncle, Iroh is pronounced I-roh on the show, but Ee-roh in the movie. And, Aang's name is pronounced An-g on the show and Ahn-g in the movie. These mispronunciations really annoyed me.) Next, the most prominent feature about the banished Fire Prince Zuko is his scar. On Dev Patel, the person who played Zuko in the movie, you could barely see the scar. And, they skipped over important parts in the show, leaving the movie all over the place, and very holey.

Basically, the movie was not really worth it. Personally, I would just stick with the show.
