robotic pets my opinion

Robotic pets, like cats and dogs are now availlable. But I think they should be banned. If a robotic pet are bought for a yung child it could teech him or her that pets can be ignored or mistreated whenever the childs mood changes. What would hapen if one day the child recieve a real pet He or she may treat it the same way.

Some robotic pets are used in nursing homes for eldely people who are unable to take care for a real pet. I understand that this may give them some cumfort, but a robotic pet cant give you no love like a real animal can. I think nursing homes should has volunters who regularly brings in real pets for a few hours at a time insted.

The only positiv thing about robotic pets is that it might save some animals from being treated cruely by their owners. But the cost of robotic pets is still too high for most peoples budjets.

Some robotic pets are used in nursing homes for elderly people who are unable to care for a real pet. I understand that this may give them some comfort, but a robotic pet can’t give you no love like a real animal can. I think nursing homes should has volunteers who regularly brings in real pets for a few hours at a time instead.

The only positive thing about robotic pets is that it might save some animals from being treated cruelly by their owners. But the cost of robotic pets is still too high for most people’s budgets.

The spider maid the web a perfect circle with a hole in the middle. It told the elder that webs like this wood help the Lakota people will reach their goals and make better use of there ideas and dreams. The webs would cach their good ideas and dreams and let the bad ones go straight threw the hole. The elder will take the web to his people and told them what the spider had sed the lakota people then made their own “dreem catchers”.

Tooday many native americans hang dream catchers above their beds too capture good dreams and ideas.

Tall Story

The book ‘Tall Story’ is about an 8 feet tall boy named Bernardo. Bernardo does not live with his half sister and mum in London, instead he lives in the Philippines. Bernardo’s half-sister Andi wishes to see her brother and she wishes he would love basketball just like her. Finally, Bernardo comes to London and the big day for Andi. Andi would finally see her brother but when she does, she sees a tanned boy that’s eight feet tall. The cause of his strange height is unknown to his family but the secret stays with Bernardo. What will happen to Bernardo?

My favourite character in the story is Bernardo. He is my favourite character in this book because he is kind and shows his brotherly love to Andi. Bernardo likes basketball and he doesn’t care whether people think he is odd because of his height. He never let’s anything drag him down.

I recommend this book to children who like stories based on legends. I also recommend this to children who like books that express the characters emotions and feelings in different chapters.

Deer Oh Deer!

Deer are just those typical animals that wander and frolic through fields of green grass like they have all the time in the world. But sometimes deer can be monsters. Right?

When European settlers came to New Zealand, they found dense or thick bushes. What did they do? Well they cleared the hills for farming and the hills were soon covered with different animals. But deer wasn’t brought in until some wealthy men suggested having deer hunting as a sport. Numbers of deer died on the journey because they were fed carrots, old hay and stale water.

Deer have been roaming around New Zealand for 140 years. For a long period of time deer have been protected until the year 1870. Numbers of deer grew and grew because there was no predators. Because of the great numbers of deer, they made lots of destruction to the plants and fields. The government was concerned so they hired deer cullers to shoot deer.

1870 was the year when hunters could buy a license which allowed them to have a number of stags to hunt down. This lessened the numbers of deer. Some years later, hunters made money by selling skins of deer. Venison wasn’t a big hit then. But even though dead deer were hard to get out of the bushes, hunters tried and tried different methods but it didn’t make a difference.

Then the year 1964 came. That was when helicopters were brought in to lift dead deer out of the bushes. This wasn’t a safe method because there were many deadly accidents. But still hunters didn’t give up. Instead they threw nets down from the helicopters and trapped deer. When prices dropped, the business went down and they could not get any profit from helicopter hunting. So hunting from helicopters were reduced and the population of deer grew and grew.
