How I Imagine Aliens

I imagine aliens as dangerous creatures. They have acid on their rough flesh that can burn you severely. In the early stages of aliens they always seemed to trip over their 6 legs, causing the newer versions large left eye to appear red, not black like the other 6. It's bright skin signals that it is poisonous and you should not consume it.


Like most animals, the alien has a predator, the Fegnusrom. The Fegnusrom is a menacing creature with yellowed teeth and a signature scar across it's rump. It is a whopping 30 feet tall and 25 feet wide. It's 12 sharp claws are used to rip apart aliens. You may be asking, Well, if the skin of an alien is toxic, how can the Fegnusrom rip it apart? Well, it is immune to the acid, which is why it is the only predator.

The SPCA and What it Does (SLJ)

The SPCA is a animal charity that focuses on rescuing neglected, abandoned, and abused animals. It is the only charity that has legal power to help animals in need with horrible owners and bring animal offenders to seek justice. They take in dogs and keep them under their wing until they can find a home with a loving owner. As soon as an animal comes in, they give them necessary treatments and checks.

The SPCA first calls the ambulance team if an animal has been abandoned, neglected or abused. They have a national rescue unit based in Wellington. Up to twelve people are able to go around New Zealand and rescue dogs in the following situations:

Floods/Fast water
Small spaces
Heights
Earthquakes
Fire

The SPCA has helped many animals find forever homes and reunite them with there original owners. As soon as the animals arrive they receive food, water, bed and shelter. They work hard to ensure that all of their animals get the best home they can possibly find. There is no time limit for an animal to get adopted that comes into the arms of the SPCA.

All animals are given a health check as soon as they reach The SPCA. It is usually  just a checkup, seeing how the animal is doing, but in some cases, they have to get special treatment  or even life saving surgery.

The SPCA is an amazing group of people. Since there are so many creatures everywhere getting abused and neglected, all those feed bags, water bills, beds and toys are going to cost. That is why The SPCA needs all the money it can get. If you donate, a dog will be granted a bed.

The Water Project (SLJ)

The Water Project is a charity filled with many amazing people. Their goal is to produce clean water for the 1,000,000,000 at least who can't access it. The Water Project is affecting millions of communities over Africa with cleansed water from taps, wells, and hygienic toilets.

Girls around Africa are twice as likely to be sent out to collect water and drop out of school when they reach puberty as they give up on travelling miles just for water. This obviously damages their education. Kids are said to be shivering, having headaches and sore stomachs. The Water Project is replacing the water they drink (infested with bacteria and other dangerous cells) with clean water.

School food costs are expensive because less water = less crops. The children go hungry and clean water can stop that. The Water Project is trying to support them with more water to grow food which will help them focus in class.

Lots of little worms and bacteria live in natural, muddy ponds. Because the bacteria can't be seen by the human eye, people drink the water. Most bacteria is harmless, but some can cause major diseases and illnesses in humans. The Water Project goes to countries with water like this and builds taps that produce filtered water with no bacteria.

The main cause of poverty in Africa is also the cause that is the most missed, the lack of clean water. When people drink infected water, they become sick. When you become sick, you cannot work, as you are too exhausted. The Water Project is making sure people can work by providing safe water.

So... yeah! The main point is, The Water Project is providing bacteria free water for peoples benefits. Kids can go to school without losing focus or dropping out because they are tired of lugging water 5 miles there and 5 miles back. People will go out of poverty as they are no longer sick. If you donate to The Water Project, you might just make the most depressed person in the world, the happiest.

Would it be good to be Garry Kasparov? (SLJ)

Garry Kasparov is the worlds best chess player. He is most likely very smart, but would it be good to be the greatest of all time? Here are 2 pros and 2 cons of being Garry.

The Pros:
-You're famous! Being famous is great! Everyone wants to be famous! Right?
-You must be smart. If you're at least good at chess- a game of skill and planning ahead - then you're already quite smart. Imagine being the best!

The Cons:
-If you don't play enough, the neural pathways will break and you will lose all your progress, like when you forget to save a video game you've been playing for a while.
-Connecting to the con above, you'll have no time for your close friends and family, you'll have to spend time isolated

So, would you like to be him?
