Katherine's Post

The Earth
by: Katherine



         
There are many wonders in this world, but my favorite thing about it is watching the stars, making things, and animals. When your in America, the stars are numerous and make the sky even more beautiful than it is without it. The stars light up the sky and make you feel better even though it doesn't even say anything. Stars are peaceful and seem to reach out to you. Another reason I like them is because I'm a Christian, and a story in the bible said that a star guided men to where Jesus was born even though Satan made it shine, but then an angel made them go another way so they wouldn't obey Satan. It shows the power of God. Sometimes when I'm bored while on the grass with flowers all over the place, I make a necklace or bracelet, but sometimes there's not a lot of flowers so I make rings. You poke in near the end of the stem and make a hole, but don't make a hole that's too big! Then you put another flower through it until you want to stop. Lastly, I like animals, but not the ones that could hurt you, like snakes. Two times this year, pigeons laid eggs in a broken lamp because the shape is perfect for a nest! My family actually saw the baby birds grow up! Now they have their own little babies, but they don't visit often because a cat is there. The cat plays with them until they are too tired and leave them there to die. Isn't that cruel? One of their little babies was hurt very badly, so we took it in and fed it food and gave it water, but the next morning, it was dead! That's when the pigeons stopped coming as often, and I was sad and wished that the little bird's friends forgave us. I wish that next year birds would lay eggs again! What are the things that you like on this earth and why?

Ahh yes, watching the cosmos in the sky is also one of my favorite things too! It is very hard to watch stars in the city though, because all the city lights make it harder to see the stars (just like its hard to see the moon in daylight) Although one thing I like better then that is...watching airplanes zoom by! Some are F-16 Falcons, some B-52 Stratofortresses, and even the fastest plane in the world, the SR-71 BlackBird! No...I'm just joking...the SR-71 flies at a too high altitude to be seen with the naked eye! I like to watch the planes to indentify them and telling which one gives the best lift, drag, or thrust! Yeah earth is a good place, but soon man-kind will sucide iteself by tarnishing the world by creating global warming!

Air, plants, and animals are the things I like about earth. The air around me makes me feel calmer when I breath in and breath out. It makes me like way calmer because smelling the aroma around me makes me feel soothing and that is what I always need to calm down. I like the plants because of their flowers they produce. Sometimes they turn into fruit and I can pick them off, wash it, and enjoy. The flowers in Spring smell like perfume when you smell them. Also, in Spring the flowers attract a lot of bees. I like watching them get pollen and flying away. The reason I like animals is because of their cuteness. Like a dog, of course some look a little bit weird, but they still look cute to me. I want a cute dog because I can't resest the cuteness! I love cute animals they are so cute!

I enjoy nature especially animals. I love watching the birds chirp while I eat my breakfast in my backyard.One time in summer,I saw a racoon in our backyard when I was watching stars. My favorite animal is.... EVERY ANIMAL! I even want to be an animal scientist when I grow-up.

I like that nature helps keep me alive. Without nature, I would not be alive and typing now!
I also like nature because then I can have different fun at different times. For example, In the winter I can go to Lake Taho and ski, and in the summer I can go to the beach.

I like earth because there is life. If was no life here on earth, I wouldn't be here typing. I could say I liked all the interesting things to see on earth, but without life,I couldn't see those things. Without life there wouldn't be any grass to lay on,no computer to play on(humans build computers),and many other things wouldn't be here. Scientists only have discovered so far that earth has life, so life is very rare.

On this earth I like many things. First, I like the plants. They help you breathe and the air would be much calmer with plants. Plants also help us in a way; sometimes you trip and fall on the grass and you don't get hurt. It is a good place for running instead of running on the blacktop . I also like animals. They help us keep company and fun to play with.

I am lucky to be in this earth!
