Shelf Article Story

If you could understand the life of a papaya!

One morning when I was basking in the sun on my tree I was rudely interrupted by strange creatures, they cut my off my beautiful tree and put me in this cube of wood with other papayas, what was that all about, then I realized there were more of us in here, but before I could say anything all of a sudden we were thrown around, the next thing I noticed was this terrible buzzing. We had to sit for hours and hours probably more than a day in that crowded cube listening to that buzzing noise and occasionally being thrown back and forth. After another rough bounce we were moved on a different device to another dark and confined space, at least the cube had slits in it, where a loud clang sounded a door closing and off we were this time only for a few hours and thank goodness it was smother or I might have bruised. Finally the side of the cube was torn off and I could see again! Finally it’s about time we got here! Before I could relax we were all dumped into this bin next to a bunch this strange other fruit! At least I was on the top, I wasn’t going to be pessimistic, next thing I know I’m being sprayed with water all over and it was cold, Ahhhh, plskflkjffjlskk, I exclaimed spitting the water out. Yuck it tasted gross. The next thing I knew a little creature came up to me and dug its claws into my perfect ripe skin. Ouch, that kind of hurt! Then it stuffed me into a green plastic bag, and threw me into a metal web on round things that move! Soon I get thrown again and put in another bag too and had a bumpy ride out to another confined space this one was even smaller! Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Click! The side of the box closed just as before. Finally after awhile the side clicked again and rose, again I could see precious daylight I felt myself being lifted then removed from the bag and gently placed in a basin. This is more like it, I thought. The next morning the same gentle hand grabbed me and set me down on a hard waxy surface it then rose a shiny metal object above me and slowly brought it down to pierce my skin! Ahhhhhhhhhh! I exclaimed as she brought the knife through my pit.

How did he get like that, well…

How should I know?

Wolf’s Eyes

They tell of his bravery,

His entire life and history,

 I look and see a wolf watching me,

But in his eyes it’s no surprise there is honor and loyalty,

Right there for all to see.

Why a Good Book Should Replace the Remote Control
The Harmful Effects of Television and Positive Effects of Reading a Book


TV vs. Literature: effects they have on you

-(TV) can cause seizures
-(book) builds vocabulary with less strain on eyes
-(TV) can damage your eyes
-(book) is safe for your eyes as long as you’re in a well lit room
-(TV) hidden images showed more than 20 times in one second can cause you to desire a product
-(book) no hidden messages/images

Who Does This Effect

Mainly YOU
But also….
Your co-workers
Your fellow students reaching out to help you
Your teacher
Your family

What Can YOU Do
-Only watch TV for an hour or less everyday, it will save electricity too
-Instead of grabbing the remote to turn on the TV grab a book!
-If you don’t fell like reading go outside and jog or play a sport or try writing!
-Help younger siblings or just other young children develop healthy reading habits

Where This Applies
-Really all said above is true for all electronic devices with backlights
-iPods
-Laptops/Computers
-Handheld gaming devices
-Etc.

When Can You Take Action
-NOW
-Today
-Every Day
-Forever
-Whenever
-Before You Pick Up the TV Remote
-When You Open a Book

Why Should You Care
-You should care for the health of your eyes spending more than two hours a day is bad but if you have to for work you then should not be involved in at any other tim
-It’s addictive so if you can avoid it try not to get stuck on it
-Most shows are entertaining but they are a waste of time when you could be working or doing something really important

Why You Should Be Concerned
-It's YOUR eyes and YOUR education remember that and embrace that

—-YOU have the power to save your eyes and encourage good grades

—-let me ask do want glasses for your sixteenth birthday rather than a possibility of a new car, damaged eyes aren't save to be driving with

PSA reflection

Reflection on PSAs and ads
Ads and announcements can be harmful and helpful, the harmful ones of course never state that they are harmful like an ad for tobacco products does no say these will increase risk or cancer and the sky diving ad probably does not say in big bold letters that equipment failure is possible but there are also announcements and rather than ads the state reasons why you should use their product instead of another one. These seem to be more commonly the ones good for your health and they use all the benefits of the product like reading a book instead of watching TV. I also have read that different colors and atmosphere can affect your mood; red and yellow make you hungry so they are common in fast food ads and the buildings themselves, the fast food restaurants play quick snappy music so you order and eat fast then leave so they can make a profit with their cheap meals, fancy restaurants play slow soft welcoming music to get you to stay and order appetizer, soup, salad, main course, dessert, and then a drink because you stay longer and spend more money they also have a calm relaxed environment.
