Recommended: Importance of friendship essay

One joke that i’m sure everyone here knows is why did the chicken cross the road.(pause) Why’d he do it? Was it a choice that he made? Was there something on the other side that it was going for and it wanted to reach it?(pause) No matter what the reason was, what if this road was middle school and the chicken was one of us. I came to McAuliffe in 6th grade but a little late in the school year, not knowing anyone except one or two people, and still was barely friends with them. And I didn’t really know who I was.(pause) But the one person who I was friends with and they were in my crew really helped me more than I think they know of.(pause) I kind of talked to people here and there in my classes but I don’t think I was making many friends. One thing that holds me back a little is that I can be shy sometimes, but I mean who isn’t? Meeting new people …show more content…

I liked everyone in it and we worked well together.(pause) I thought it was going to be a good year… but just like last year in sixth grade, there’s the whole school thing which I was not doing great at.(pause) In one of my classes I almost always got in trouble.(pause) And then in all my other classes I was failing; either not doing my work in class or homework, goofing off with friends, not paying attention, I could go on and on.(pause) So then it’s like I have good friends and comfortable. I am also pretty sure my science teacher wished he could switch me out of his class.(pause) I finished the year with 42 missing assignments. Which yes, I had to make up over the summer which was a real big pain. Even though despite my grades I think the best memory was the camping trip car ride because my crew was really bonding and having a good time, also overall with the crew, I really liked it. So thank you Mr. Callahan for dealing with me through a whole year. (pause) Looks like this chicken has been hit by a really, really, big

    Chickens have to endure suffering that no living thing should have to go through. The egg laying chickens have to be forced into tiny cages without enough room to stretch their wings. Up to 8 hens are crammed in to a cage that is the size of a folded newspaper, about 11"-14". Stress from the confinement leads to severe feather loss so the chicken will be almost completely bald in the cold cages. When the chickens are of egg-laying age, there beaks are cut off without any pain killers to ease the pain, they do this so the chickens don’t break their own eggs and eat them because the chickens are hungry.

  • The Chicken Question

    662 Words  | 2 Pages

    What effect does a question about a chicken crossing a road have? The question of why a chicken crossed a road appears to have first been posited in the New York periodical, Knickerbocker in 1847. Written then, as follows, “There are 'quips and quillets' which seem actual conundrums, but yet are actually none. Of such is this: 'Why did the chicken cross the road? Because, it wants to get to the other side” (Anon). The question seems valid, the answer seems apparent. Suggesting a futility of effort in pondering what should be obvious. If the question, and not the chicken, actually causes effect, then the question stands alone and does not need a chicken at all. The chicken could easily be replaced by a cow and the effect of the question would remain the same.

    The Creature That Opened My Eyes Sympathy, anger, hate, and empathy, these are just a few of the emotions that came over me while getting to know and trying to understand the creature created by victor frankenstein in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. For the first time I became completely enthralled in a novel and learned to appreciate literature not only for the great stories they tell but also for the affect it could have on someones life as cliché as that might sound, if that weren’t enough it also gave me a greater appreciation and understanding of the idiom “never judge a book by its cover.” As a pimply faced, insecure, loner, and at most times self absorbed sophomore in high school I was never one to put anytime or focus when it came time

    I would switch back and forth between loving school and despising it. Often times I would be bored by the school work that was too easily completed. This was changed by a once a week class that was named Individualized Learning Opportunities (ILO). This class gave me a reason to enjoy school. The teacher Mrs. Krebbs was the most amazing person that I had ever known. She would let us play with glue and be messy and give us the attention we often lacked from our other teachers. During this time is when I made my first long time friend, Alex. I met Alex when I was in second grade. She was my first best friend and would remain in that position until we both moved away for college and lost touch. She always brought out my best qualities when we were

    The small community was a positive and negative; everyone did know everyone was a positive, and the negative was if something bad happened to you or anyone, everyone would hear about it so fast. Yet again, I was starting another school where I didn’t know anyone. I had to do it all over again, with the same thoughts going through my head, wondering what it was going to be like, always wondering if I was going to fit and make friends easily knowing how big it was. I decided that the next two years at this school were going to be focused on college and my school work, I wasn’t going to be in any clubs or sports.

    I watched the churning scene in amazement, marveling at the microcosm that these pizza boxes had become. I couldn’t bring myself to simply toss this wealth of life in a garbage can, yet the soggy pile shouldn’t sit in the yard any longer. There were only two individuals around that would appreciate this treasure more than I, and who could actually benefit from it too. A few minutes later I watched in satisfaction as my chickens, like two stately ladies, sampled the smorgasboard I offered. This is why I study zoology, I thought, for the enjoyment of just watching life act out its strange and comedic drama.
