Hollow Earth
Preface
On a summer morning when almost everyone was in Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia was awake, an asteroid as big as a 30-story building hit near Tunguska River. It flattened trees and scorched buildings, but when we tried to investigate, they neither found the crater nor the asteroid, that’s when we surmised about them.
Crash Landing Thomas Vermin, an ordinary kid in the magnificent city of Kalcrest the capital of the entire Hollow Earth was not ordinary for the past few days. For the past few days he’s been chewing on his finger nails, waking up in an unorthodox manner, head nearly hanging of the edge, feet where the head is supposed to be and head where is feet are supposed to be. Not to mention how early he’s waking. The reason is that his dad, Andrew Vermin, an astronaut that works for the UOTS (Up on the Surface), was to return a few days ago. “Since I can’t sleep why not take a walk outside.” Thomas thinks. He happens to stroll by the UOTS’s Ground Station when he hears a BOOM. When he up he could see the space ship his dad used when he launched, the xXSurfaceoftheEarthXx, a few keces (equivalent to a kilometer) away. He runs to the space ship to see if his father’s okay. In a matter of minutes he was there, but he wasn’t the only one to arrive,

With no experience with flying and no rules he had learned so he was screaming in the cockpit thinking about his will. Then he remembers that planes always have controls. He took hold of the joy stick and pulled up. He still ploughed through the ground, but at least it didn’t explode. He got out and waved the dust away from his face. He trudged out of the forest and made way to the nearest city. When he arrived at Krasnoyarsk Krai it was nearly empty it was only 3:00 in human time so he was pretty early. He just realized how tired he was so he made a bed of tall grass in the meadows and he instantly closed his eyes and went to
to land he managed to kill nine sea monsters with his bare hands and still

You’d wonder, ‘Where is he? Is he warm? Is he hurt? Is he lonely? Is he OK?’”(125)
Plot Summary: This flight to see his father in the Canadian wilderness is Brains first time in an airplane. He explains this to the pilot and tells him that he is scared. The pilot feels sorry for Brian and decides to show him that flying is not very difficult. He lets Brian take the steering control and direct the line of flight for a while. Just when Brian thinks that everything is going well, the pilot has a heart attack and dies. Brian knows he must land the plane himself or die. He tries to use the radio without success. He knows that if he hits the trees, he can die, so he decides to land in the water of a lake. When the plane is in the water, he gets out through a window. He lay on the bank of the lake for a while to rest. Brian knew he needed food and shelter to survive so he set out to find both. He was very careful not to get lost or go too far from the lake where his water was. He found a cherry tree and because he was very hungry, he ate his fill. He filled his windbreaker with cherries to eat later and then managed to find a cave for shelter. He slept very well, but in the morning when he awoke, he saw a bear in the cave. He was terrified, because the bear was only about 20 feet away eating his cherries out of his windbreaker. The bear only looked at Brian and then left. The cherries must have been enough to curb his appetite! The discovery of how to make a fire was very important to Brains survival. He needed to have one at the mouth of the cave to protect him from wild animals, and to signal for help.
Having studied George Orwell's 'Nineteen Eighty-Four', I intend to discuss the type of Government envisaged by Orwell and to what extent his totalitarian Party, 'Ingsoc', satirises past regimes. I will also discuss Orwell's motive in writing such a piece and how his writing style helps it become clear.The main theme of Nineteen Eighty-Four concerns the restrictions imposed on individual freedom by a totalitarian regime. Orwell shows how such a system can impose its will on the people through manipulation of the press, the elimination of democracy, constant supervision (courtesy of the Telescreens) and more. Orwell also shows how the state has more subtle methods for imposing its authority, such as the manipulation of language and control of the media.

Tragic events occur daily around the globe in 2015, these occurrences have become routine. The world has considerably changed in the past five years; this is mainly due to the Arab spring (A term that symbolizes the fall of oppressive regimes in the Middle East. While in the Middle East the Arab Spring is TAKING PLACE, in America gun control is a major issue. One of the many letters written by George Orwell in Nineteen Eighty Four is that of oppressive governments and the basic freedoms of humanity. This specific article and 1984 share similarities in how both discuss the nature of humans. The main themes they discuss are: Death, Loss of innocence, as well as hope.
Not long ago on the 15th of February 2013 an asteroid named 2012 DA14 merely scrapped the earth’s surface by a tiny margin, even closer than some satellites. According to the NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) the asteroid was 17,200 miles above our planet's surface, which may seem a long way from earth. However, in terms how big the earth is compared to the 17,200 miles, we can acknowledge that many people were saved from death.
Pete, an astronaut on the shuttle Atlantis, is speaking via satellite radio to NASA’s executive director, Dan Truman. Pete is completing maintenance on a satellite when it is struck by several small meteorites. Atlantis, Pete, and the Satellite are all destroyed by the meteorites. As Truman gives
Upon my reading of the novel 1984, I was fascinated by George Orwell’s vision of the future. Orwell describes a world so extreme that a question comes to mind, asking what would encourage him to write such a novel. 1984 took place in the future, but it seemed like it was happening in the past. George Orwell was born in 1903 and died in 1950; he has seen the horrific tides of World War ² and Ï. As I got deeper into this novel I began to see similar events of world history built into 1984.
He succeeded in this task and he was in the air in no time. It took him about 30 minutes to get to his destination: Gravisho’s meteor kingdom, of which was called, Grateon. (Gray-tea-hon)
Dystopian novels are written to reflect the fears a population has about its government and they are successful because they capture that fright and display what can happen if it is ignored. George Orwell wrote 1984 with this fear of government in mind and used it to portray his opinion of the current government discretely. Along with fear, dystopian novels have many other elements that make them characteristic of their genre. The dystopian society in Orwell’s novel became an achievement because he utilized a large devastated city, a shattered family system, life in fear, a theme of oppression, and a lone hero.
It created a gouge several hundred feet long and was scattered over a large area. Some of the debris had strange physical properties. He took some debris to show his neighbors then his son. Soon after that he notified the sheriff. The sheriff then contacted the authorities at Roswell Army Air Field Base. The are was closed off and the debris was eventually flown by B-29 and C-54 aircraft to Wright Field in Dayton, Ohio.
Although it is impossible to rewrite history, we still have to be careful to prevent a catastrophe like the asteroid said to have hit the earth sixty five million years ago. If there is ever a scare of an asteroid as big as the Alvarez Asteroid, one way of preventin...
