I was cheerful to be with my human Lilly and Maddy. Also proud that I was made. I was in Colorado when I was hoping around on the last day of winter. With my friends Lilly and Maddy when it started to get hot. Then my friends went inside to get some ice cream. “Wait don’t leave me outside in the Heat I will melt.” “Then Lilly said sorry Dexter we were just going inside for ice cream.” I had mittens, a hat, and a scarf on. Man was I boiling hot out there. Then Maddy said “are you ok Dexter?” “Um I’m i’m i’m FINE.” By: Tatum, grade 3 Once a snowman named Carly came to life on a dark snowy day. She came to life by a scarf that had a little magic that the kids dad had from when she was a magic man. She was so happy that she came to life, she decided to go to school. Carly met people and had lots of friends. The next day it was sunny and hot so she hopped in sher car, and when to the school. But in school it got hot but right back to cold, she always got scared so she went home and never went back to school again. But she did hang out with his friends they played in the pool she floated at the top. Some people used her as a floatie thing. But they all had to leave school first. So she went to school again but it was cold that day so it was hot in the classroom she did not notice. Everyone warned her but it was too late melted snow,water on the floor, everyone was so sad that day. B y: Sonya, grade 3 W inter Break By : Manya and Bailey 4th grade Winter break, winter break , winter break is so much fun School is finally done It’s time to have some fun Oh, there was not much sun Time to play Every day I can drink hot coco and sled in the snow. I don’t need to worry about by grades though! The race for life By Dylan Grade 3 I raced off the cliff, sure to beat Kogure. Instead, I went off a little bump next to the edge of the cliff engulfed in snow. I flew off like a hawk, but gravity shut it down. My snowboard flew off my feet, and I tumbled in thin air, while I was falling at least 100 million feet off a cliff! I was a pro at snowboarding, my casual look is just a plain blue shirt and black pants. My snowboarding look was a scarf, mask, a snow shirt and pants, and, of course, snow boots. I was 16, Kogure was a mean snowboarder, champion of TV, a teaser, and a big bully. Sathvik was a helper to me, he gives me tips when I'm troubled! The time was 3:56 in the afternoon, and I was practicing snowboarding again in the training course where there was a giant cliff, next to the snow resort where I was staying. I fell off 5 feet of one of the training places with a faceplant, and my face stinged from the snow in my eyes. All I could see was pure whiteness. Suddenly, Kogure and his gang slowly walked by, but of course, not without being a little bit mean. “Guys, look at Dylan the snowface. Hahahahahaha!” All of Kogure’s gang members laughed straight at me! Now, I was one of the victims of one of the most mean teasers and most powerful; Kogure and his gang. I walked inside my snow resort and, unluckily, Kogure was my roommate! A bully was gonna be my roommate; for 8 days! “So, Dylan Otto. total noob.” Kogure stated. “No, it’s YOU that’s the big noob,” I stated, defensively. I wanted to twirl up in my bed and rest, but I knew that would do no use since Kogure had access to my bed. Seems like getting bullied will be my morning routine. I thought, groaning. I felt like sitting down and watching shows, but there Kogure was, trashing up the TV. Seems like him bullying me is better than TV to him. Since Kogure ruined everything, I had nothing to do. Luckily, I kept my stuff untouched in a locked closet. Suddenly, Kogure came up to me, with a smile on this face. “(Sigh) Oh brother, guess Kogure will torture me AGAIN,” I stared at him, ready for the bully inside him to jump out at me. “I see you don’t like my pleasure,” he stated, sarcastically. Then he started getting serious. “I have a challenge. A snowboarding race. If I win, I will torture you…. FOREVER. If you win, I will never bother with you again.” I quickly replied. “Yes! I would LOVE to have you go away­ forever.” I quickly ran out, eager to get to the training place again. I kept on falling when I tried to finish the training course. “Come on!” I yelled at myself, for what seemed the 100th time. There was no WAY I could beat a pro if my stats were like… this. I felt like my mind drifting to Sathvik for help, so I texted him for advice. “What do I do? I'm supposed to beat Kogure at a snowboarding race!” I texted. “Well, you should decline it or move or something.” Sathvik texted back. “Well, that wasn’t helpful,” I stated. “Looks like I'm alone.” It’s 6 minutes before the midnight race. I felt like sleeping in my hotel bed, all cozy, but it was a bunk bed and Kogure just messed it up really badly. The bed was ripped and decimated, at least my side of the bed was. Kogure’s side was squeaky clean, like something I would want. Unfortunately, Kogure wouldn’t even let me TOUCH it. This just happened today. A GH! I’VE HAD ENOUGH! I thought. I walked up to Kogure. “This race is over! I officially decline it!” “You accepted to do the race,” Kogure explained. “Yeah, but…” I couldn’t manage to squeeze in a word. We stared at each other for hours until Kogure stated… “Oh! Times up. Time for the race of d eath. ” Me and Kogure were on the hill, snowboard in hand. “Ready for sweet death?” Kogure stated, shaking my bones. I jumped on my snowboard and started to race. I raced off the cliff, sure to beat Kogure. Instead, I went off a little bump next to the edge of the cliff engulfed in snow. I flew off like a hawk, but gravity shut it down. My snowboard flew off my feet, and I tumbled in thin air, while I was falling at least 100 million feet off a cliff! I managed to grab onto the side of the mountain, as Kogure zipped past me. I managed to clench enough courage to jump off 12 feet onto Kogure’s snowboard, totally throwing him off. Unluckily, he tumbled towards the finish line. N O!!! I jumped off the snowboard and ran fast as the wind. I won, at least ONE millisecond before Kogure! I smiled at him, while he looked like he just did something embarrassing in front of his special fan club. He whirled around and coughed, while my body felt like I just ran 200 miles in a minute. It’s not possible, but it is a pretty wild feeling. I managed to push a sentence through my exhausted body. “This race is over, Kogure.” “No, no, IT’S NOT!!! I WANT A REMATCH! I MEAN, WITHOUT YOU BEING LUCKY!” Kogure complained. “Nope, you made the deal,” I stated. Up to the hotel, Kogure and I had a really big argument.

  • Blink by Steven Moffat EXT
    Blink by Steven Moffat EXT. WESTER DRUMLINS HOUSE - NIGHT Big forbidding gates. Wrought iron, the works. A big modern padlock on. Through the gates, an old house. Ancient, crumbling, overgrown. Once beautiful - still beautiful in decay. Panning along: on the gates - DANGER, KEEP OUT, UNSAFE STRUCTURE -- The gates are shaking, like someone is climbing them -- -- and then a figure drops into a view on the other side. Straightens up into a close-up. SALLY SPARROW. Early twenties, very pretty, just a bit mad, just a bit dangerous. She's staring at the house, eyes shining. Big naughty grin. SALLY Sexy! And she starts marching up the long gravel drive ... CUT TO: INT. WESTER DRUMLINS HOUSE. HALLWAY - NIGHT The big grand house in darkness, huge sweeping staircase, shuttered window, debris everywhere -- One set of shutters buckles from an impact from the inside, splinters. SALLY SPARROW, kicking her away in -- CUT TO: INT. WESTER DRUMLINS HOUSE. HALLWAY/ROOMS - NIGHT SALLY, clutching a camera. Walks from one room to another. Takes a photograph. Her face: fascinated, loving this creepy old place. Takes another photograph. CUT TO: INT. WESTER DRUMLINS HOUSE. CONSERVATORY ROOM - NIGHT In the conservatory now - the windows looking out on a darkened garden. And a patch of rotting wallpaper catches SALLY'S eye -- 2. High on the wall, just below the picture rail, a corner of wallpaper is peeling away, drooping mournfully down from the wall -- -- revealing writing on the plaster behind. Just two letters we can see - BE - the beginning of a word -- She reaches up on tiptoes and pulls at the hanging frond of wallpaper.

He grew up in Canada and graduated with a degree in history from the University of Toronto in 1984. From 1987 to 1996, he was a reporter for the Washington Post, first as a science writer and then as New York City bureau chief. Since 1996, he has been a staff writer for the New Yorker magazine. His curiosity and breadth of interests are shown in New Yorker articles ranging over a wide array of subjects including early childhood development and the flu, not to mention hair dye, shopping and what it takes to be cool. His phenomenal bestseller The Tipping Point captured the world’s attention with its theory that a curiously small change can have unforeseen effects, and the phrase has become part of our language, used by writers, politicians and business people everywhere to describe cultural trends and strange phenomena.

  • Lorna Jowett Is a Reader in Television Studies at the University Of
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by NECTAR 1 The Girls Who Waited? Female Companions and Gender in Doctor Who Lorna Jowett Abstract: Science fiction has the potential to offer something new in terms of gender representation. This doesn’t mean it always delivers on this potential. Amid the hype surrounding the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who, the longest running science fiction series on television, a slightly critical edge is discernable in the media coverage concerning the casting of the twelfth Doctor and issues of representation in the series. This paper examines Doctor Who in the broader context of TV drama and changes to the TV industry, analysing the series’ gender representation, especially in the 2005 reboot, and focusing largely on the female ‘companions’. Keywords: gender representation, television, feminism, BBC. When I put together an earlier version of this paper two years ago, I discovered a surprising gap in the academic study of Doctor Who around gender. Gender in science fiction has often been studied, after all, and Star Trek, another science fiction television series starting in the 1960s (original run 1966-69) and continued via spin-offs and reboots, has long been analysed in terms of gender. So why not Doctor Who? Admittedly, Doctor Who’s creators have no clear philosophy about trying to represent a more equal society, as with the utopian Trek. The lack of scholarship on gender in Doctor Who may also be part of a lack of scholarship generally on the series—academic study of it is just gaining momentum, and only started to accumulate seriously in the last five years.

Don't blink. Don't even blink. Blink and you're dead. They are fast, faster than you can believe. Don't turn your back, don't look away, and don't blink. Good luck. The letter from Kathy to Sally, 1920 My dearest Sally Sparrow. If my grandson has done as he promises he will, then as you read these words it has been merely minutes since we last spoke for you. For me, it has been over sixty years. The third of the photographs is of my children. The youngest is Sally. I named her after you, of course. I suppose, unless I live to a really exceptional old age, I will be long gone as you read this. Don't feel sorry for me. I have led a good and full life. I've loved a good man and been well loved in return. You would have liked Ben. He was the very first person I met in 1920. The Doctor talks about the weeping angels, 1965 DOCTOR: What matters is, we can communicate. We have got big problems now. They have taken the blue box, haven't they? The angels have the phone box. LARRY: The angels have the phone box. That's my favorite, I've got it on a T-shirt. SALLY: What do you mean, angels? You mean those statue things? DOCTOR: Creatures from another world.
