Answer: "The World on the Turtle's Back". This Native American story is a creation myth about two brothers who helped create humans, animals, and all other earth inhabitants. Creation myths are often defined as stories which explain how life and the universe began. In this excerpt, twins were born from their mother who then died during birth. The twins buried their mother, where she grew corn, beans, and squash. "And from her grave grew the plants which the people still use." (Page 28) The twins had tension between them and the right-handed twin was inferior to the other. "The right-handed twin was the one who did everything just as he should." (Page28) He always tried to do what was right. As for the left-handed twin, the "devious" one, he "never said what he meant or meant what he said", (Page 28) he was always lying and doing things he shouldn't be doing. The twins created balance though, which is what the world needs to sustain life. The Indians called them "the straight mind and the crooked mind". (Page 28) With their special powers and ability, the brothers created animals from Clay and brought them to life. "The right-handed twin made the deer, and the left-handed twin made the mountain lion which kills the deer. But the right-handed twin there would always be more deer than mountain lions." (Page 30) The brothers then made more animals, and the right-handed twin created all delicious fruit and berries for the animals he had created, but the left-handed twin made poisonous plants and roots, as well as medicines "for good and for evil". (Page 30) The right-handed twin also created man, his "favorite creatures." (Page 30) Due to the tension building between the two brothers, they decided to battle one another in a lacrosse match, a Native American game played by two teams. The twins played vigorously all day and "the game was done. And neither had won.

Answer:
One place I've never been to is Japan. Japan is the home of many different cultural things. It seems like a cool place to go because it is very far away from where I live and they have many different things to go visit and do. They also have a lot of stores with cool things in them. It seems very entertaining to go to and the cities seem cool. Especially the one where they have all the lit up bill boards and stuff. Japan is also home to anime and although I don't love anime there's be many cool anime stores and stuff to purchase there. Also, they have many different fashion clothes and things to buy. I like putting together outfits and since they have a lot of fashion stores and clothes. They probably have great stuff there because they have such expensive cities. Japan seems like a very cool place to go visit and they have a very foreign language which would be a really cool experience to learn a different language and speak with the people there. I'd love to go visit someday with friends and maybe family.

A short story with Snowman, haunted house and beach ball...please help
Answer:
One morning, a 7 year old boy named Trey looks outside of his house. He sees that it's snowing. His face brightens, His heart races, and his hands fumbling to put on his snow gear. Before his hand reaches for the handle of the door, his mother intervenes between both Trey and the door. She says: "Trey I told you to go throw that beach ball away! It's been sitting there since spring! And it's all deflated now." Trey, still happy that he gets to go outside anyway, says: "Yes Ma'm" he goes through the back door into the backyard. He sees the deflated beach ball, but instead decides to make snow man. As his back yard piles up with snow, Trey slowly gets tired and bored. He decides to visit his friend Henry's house to invite him over to play. Trey exits his backyard and onto the sidewalk next to the street. He walks pass several houses before he reaches the end of his neighborhood. As Trey walks up to Henry's house, Trey wonders why Henry would live in such a beat down, dark, old, and scary house. It was 2 stories tall, had 4 windows, 2 on the top and 2 on the bottom, and it was wearing down due to old age. The house looked abandoned. Before Trey could walk in, an old man yells from across the next house: "I wouldn't go in there if I was you! People say it's a haunted house!" Trey walks in anyway.

Statistics are the final word on every issue? True or false
Answer: False
Explanation:
Statistics are the final word on most issues but not every issue. When making a decision, it is true that numbers do not lie and so it is very hard to refute statistics. Sometimes however, people go against the statistics or rather interpret them in a way they are not to be interpreted thereby negating them.
Other things can go wrong with statistics as well such as research bias. The people doing the research and coming up with the statistics might control the research to make it bring out some biased statistics. People on seeing this, can then go against the numbers.
