The Ghost From The Grand Banks Summary
By: Arjun Agrawal


Plot
     Donald Craig owned a very rich company that was constantly looking for new adventures and projects. Another company owned by Jason Bradley is looking for money and fame. 100 years have passed since the great Titanic has sunk. People felt as if their technology was advance enough to overcome the obstacles of raising the Titanic.

Problem/Opportunity
     Both of the companies saw potential in raising the Titanic. Donald Craig's company looked forward to lifting up the hull of the Titanic. They hoped to fine old artifacts of the forgotten past. Jason Bradley's company saw that raising the rest of the Titanic as an opportunity for earning money. They wanted to find old treasures hidden deep in the Titanic for money, and to set the Titanic in an amusement park.

Solution
     Both companies raced towards raising the Titanic. The first company would be able to salvage most of it. Jason Bradley's operation was ready and came first. However, the plan did not work out so well. During the operation in lifting the Titanic, a massive submarine earthquake occurred.  Every machine underwater was destroyed, including the Titanic. The project wasted billions of dollars and the Titanic was gone. Donald Craig's operation was cancelled since there was nothing to lift.  The Titanic was never to be seen again.

Conclusion/Lessons learned
     There are many exciting projects out there, however some of them do not succeed. Raising the Titanic did fail. However, it opened up the rest of the world to search and explore old things and to salvage the past.

Social Anxiety Essay

     My name is Arjun Agrawal. I am a 16 year old teenager in High School. I have received a lot of feedback stating that I have social anxiety and am scared to mingle with strangers. I will be taking three steps towards addressing this. I will play less video games, play more physical games with familiar people, and interact more with strangers.      Firstly, I vow to play less video games. Video games give instant gratification and happiness. This creates addiction. Addictions to video games consume a lot of time. It takes away time from interacting with other people or playing outside. Playing less video games will create much more space for social interaction.      When I am invited to play basketball with my friends, I don't join. This is because I am afraid that I will embarrass myself. Therefore, I dedicate some of my free time playing physical games with familiar people to build confidence. First, I will play basketball with my little brothers outside in my front yard.

TA-14

   John A. Fisher is a concerned parent. He believes that garden education is vital to the future of children.  His article, "Growing the Kinder-Garden" argues that schools should teach garden education. In order to convince his audience, Fisher instills a feeling of guilt, appeals to logos, and uses collective pronouns.      First of all, Fisher instills a feeling of guilt into his audience. He talks about how children in today's society barely know about gardening. He provides a strong point stating that, "if you have a young child, ask him or her where food comes from. Don't be surprised if the answer you get is 'From the store!'" This shows that most children don't know where food truly comes from. They are so isolated from the real world of farming, they think that food comes from the stores. In reality, all food comes from farms and gardens. Kids these days are becoming obese. They're eating manufactured foods instead of natural food

Positive Outlook Essay

     If a glass is filled halfway, is the glass half-full or half-empty? This is a commonly asked question to test a person's outlook. Although both choices are correct, each represents a different outlook. If they say it's half full then they are most likely a positive person. If they say it's half empty then they're most likely a negative person. Having a negative outlook on life can be pretty depressing. However, this is not permanent. It can be fixed. In order to have a positive attitude you must appreciate what you have. You can start out by cherishing nature, cherishing family, and cherishing knowledge.    The world is a beautiful place. You must learn to cherish it. Travelling and hiking are both great ways to appreciate nature. Mountainous landscapes formed by small rivers will amaze you. You don't have to go far to embrace nature. Every morning there is a beautiful sunrise right in your backyard. Chances are, if it in your backyard, it is everywhere. How
