The ocean is ever changing
Sometimes cold and harsh
Storms rocking all the boats
Sometimes warm, smooth, and inviting
Welcoming others to play

Always different
Never the same
Forever changing

Mean when mad
Welcoming when glad
The family of waves
Will let you decide
As long as you’re good
By removing the waste from it’s home

“Mr. Utterson the lawyer was a man of rugged countenance, that was never lighted by a smile”(Stevenson 1). The novella The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, by Robert Louis Stevenson, is a story about a caring man, Utterson, who goes on a journey to discover the secret of his friend Dr. Jekyll. During the story The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, by Robert Louis Stevenson, Mr. Utterson displays himself as a loyal, trustworthy, curious man. This helps him discover the secret of Dr. Jekyll.

Mr. Utterson is a loyal friend because he listens to his friends and tries to make the right decisions. The narrator is explaining Utterson to the reader when he says, “His friends were those of his own blood, or those he had known the longest”(1). This quote shows that he was loyal to only his relatives or people that he had been friends with for the longest amount of time, such as Mr. Enfeild, Dr. Jekyll, and Dr. Lanyon. During another point in the story, Jekyll is pleading to Utterson to get Hyde’s rights for him in regards to his will. Utterson replies, “I promise”(13). Even though Utterson doesn’t want to do this task, he stays loyal to Jekyll and promises to give Jekyll’s belongings and job to Hyde. At one point in the story, Utterson’s friend, Lanyon gives him a letter, and Utterson is scared to open it. “The lawyer dreaded its contents ‘I have burried one friend today,’ he thought:’what if this should cost me another’ And then he condemed the fear as a disloyalty and broke the seal”(24). This shows that as much as Utterson is scared to open the letter for fear of his friend dying, he is even more scared of being disloyal.

Mr. Utterson is a trustworthy person because he is a lawyer and therefore has the ability to make the correct choices, so people trust him. During one part in the story Jekyll has something he needs to tell someone, but he is scared to tell anyone. Utterson tries to get Jekyll to confide in him by saying, ‘I am a man to be trusted’ (13). Utterson tries to convince Jekyll to trust him by telling him how he is a lawyer and he can be trusted. Right after this Jekyll is trying to figure out how to tell Utterson what he wants to know without giving too much away. ‘I would trust you before any man alive’ (13). Jekyll wants to tell Utterson that he trusts him, without giving everything away. A little later in the book, Jekyll has received a letter and gives it to Utterson to look over and decide whether or not to give it to the police. Jeykll says, ‘I have so a great trust in you’ when he gives Utterson the letter (19). Jekyll is telling Utterson that he trusts him enough to give him such an important document and make the right decision in what to do with it.

Mr. Utterson is a curious man because he wants to make sure everything is running smoothly with his friends. Mr. Hyde just killed Mr. Carew and Jekyll seems to be hiding something, so Utterson is trying to figure out what he is hiding. He tells Jekyll, ‘Carew is my client, but so are you; and I want to know what I’m doing’ (18). Utterson is being curious because he wants to know what he is happening around him. Right after this, Utterson is looking  for Hyde so he can confront him about running over a little girl. ‘If he shall be Mr. Hyde, I will be Mr. Seek’ (18). Utterson is using a play on words to tell the readers that he wants to find out more about Hyde. Later on, Utterson is talking to Dr. Lanyon and asks him if he has seen Jekyll recently. ‘Have you seen him?’ (23). Utterson hadn’t seen Jeykll lately and he wants to know what’s going on because no one has seen Jekyll. His curiosity led him to question his other friends

Mr. Utterson displays himself as a loyal, trustworthy, curious man during the story The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. These character traits have allowed Utterson to politely pry on what has been happening with Jekyll and in the end find out what was going on with Jekyll and Hyde.

Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams end
Life is a shopping spree
With no money to spend

Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams fall
Life is a cockroach
That makes my skin crawl

Every Friday night,

We watch a movie.

The lights dim low,

The bright colors of the movie flashing.

We eat the gooey cheese pizza.

Our house smells like heaven walked through the door.

We have some close friends,

Come over to our house,

Along with their two small kids,

Two girls of two and four.

They pick out a movie,

We eat our delicious pizza.

We watch and cuddle.

Rapunzel, Aladdin, Peter Pan,

There is always a movie to see.

We have pizza night all watching the T.V.

We must make the world safe for democracy. This is what Woodrow Wilson said before entering WWI. The war first started because a man named Gavrilo Princip shot the archduke of Austria-Hungry, Franz Ferdinand  and his wife, causing Austria-Hungry to go into war with Serbia. Sides were formed into  the Central Powers – Germany, Austria-Hungry, and the Ottoman Empire and the Allies – Russia, Great Britain, France, and Italy. The United States should have joined WWI because of Germany’s unrestricted submarine warfare and the alliance system.

Germany’s unrestricted submarine warfare had caused many problems because they were targeting innocent ships. Unrestricted submarine warfare was the sinking of any ship in a certian area without warning. Germany was doing this so food and supplies couldn’t get to Great Britain. This is what happened to a passenger ship called the Lusitania. On May 7, 1915, it was shot down and 1,198 people died, including 128 Americans. Germany claimed that it was carrying ammunition for Great Britian. It turned out that it had been, but that didn’t account for all of the lives lost. If the US didn’t enter the war, what could have happened if the Germans kept up this warfare? Many more innocent people would have been killed; the US needed to do something.

The alliance system is another reason the United States should have joined WWI. The Zimmerman Telegram was a telegram sent from Germany to Mexico requesting an alliance. Germany’s plan was to have Mexico take out the United States so the Central Powers wouldn’t have to fight against them in the war. Mexico’s part of the deal was that when they win, as Germany was sure they would, they would regain their territory of Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. But before Mexico could recive the telegram, Britian intercepted it and told the United States. After this the US should have definitely entered the war on the Allies’ side because of the Lusitania and the Zimmerman Telegram. It would have been easy to join the Allies because the United States traded with Great Britain and France more. If the US didn’t enter the war, what would Germany have done if they won? If the United States entered, the Allies would win because they would be sending fresh troops and supplies to the Western Front, ending the war quickly.

People who didn’t think that the United States should go into war would have said that many lives would be lost. They also said that the US would lose too much money. More lives and money would have been lost if the US didn’t enter the war when it did. The war would have kept going on and no one would have won for another few years. Another reason people might have thought the United States should stay out of war was because the people of the US were isolationalists, which means they wanted to stay out of European affairs. But soon the French and British people would be asking the US to join the war whether or not the US people are isolationalists.

The United States should have entered the war. Germany’s unrestricted submarine warfare had to be stopped. The Allies needed help if they were going to defeat the Central Powers. Both of those problems could have been fixed if the US entered the war. The US entered WWI in 1917 and luckily the war ended a year later in 1918, due to the help we provided

We need a strong military

Our force will overpower other countries

We will take their military and train them into ours

If they die, oh well

We will still get to keep OUR land

Their land will become our crops,

Our trade

And our money

We will take it all and make it ours

We are better than others

We will prove it by teaching them our ways

They will now have a good life

Dear Mme. Loisel,

With this letter I have sent a beautiful necklace made from recycled material. Your husband told me that you were going to a ball and wanted a necklace to wear. This necklace that I’ve made for you is made from buttons, yarn, and recycled paper that I’ve colored, rolled up, and used water to hold together. The benefits to this necklace are that if you lose it you won’t have to pay any money for it, but you will still be the most beautiful woman at the ball. I would still like it back, but like I said it’s okay if you lose it.

You shouldn’t be greedy and want a better necklace, such as a diamond necklace because if you lose it, you could be in debt for a long time. I knew a woman who had to work the rest of her life to pay back loans that she took out, because she lost a necklace that was made out of diamonds. She turned ugly from all the labor she had to do. Greed is bad because it means that you always want what you can’t have, whether it be more of something that you have, or something that you can’t afford. The woman who lost the necklace had to face the consequences of being greedy. I hope that you will not become greedy and end up the same way.

Sincerely,

Janel

Robots are being used to help humans by doing things that are dangerous, humans don’t do well, or just don’t like doing. A French scientist named Frank Van Der Velde wants to make robots learn from their mistakes, “for instance if it spilled coffee, next time it wouldn’t pour as much, so it wouldn’t spill.” He also wants robots to have brains like humans do, except smarter. A new robot, I-Cub   has skin fingers that can actually FEEL! Frank thinks that in about ten years there will be robot watch dogs! These robots would help  people because they wouldn’t have to train real dogs. Now people even have robot prosthetics, that move depending on how your muscle and nerve endings move!

Someday robots will be doing everything for us, because of the things that engineers are making them do now. Therefore, humans will become lazy because robots will be doing everything for them. There will be more consequences than benefits if we continue to enhance robots.

I made a robot that is designed to help humans in some way. My robot, NAME,  has extendable arms so it can do things like turn off the lights when you’re in bed all cozy and don’t want to get up. It can also reach up and get things that are up too high to reach for people. I don’t know how to make it actually work, so it is just a model of what it would look like. It was made out of bottles, cardboard, and duct tape. It would have extendable arms with fingers that could wrap around the object that it needs to pick up or move. In order to make it work you would just tell it what to do. There would be a microphone so it can be controlled by voice command. It will solve the problem of not being able to reach things. The kinds of people who would need my robot the most are short people or people who are handi-cap.

This project is related to The Last Dog because in The Last Dog it is futuristic where robots do almost everything, for the characters. For example, they check out people who want to leave the dome and disperse food and water. The positive consequence of the robots in the book is people don’t have to do most things, but the negative consequence of the robots in The Last Dog is people get lazy because they don’t have to do a lot.
