Expository Essay

What can you learn about yourself by studying the lives of others?

We can learn about our self by studying the lives of others in many ways. When I look at other people life it teaches me how lucky I am. For example when I see a homeless person on the street I see how lucky I am to have a home and be able to eat food. Also when I see someone who is mean and disrespectful to their elder I see that the consequences to their action aren’t so good so that teaches me to respect my elders. When I see other people life’s it shows how to control my actions to learn from other people mistake and study their ways to know how lucky I am and how to not make the same mistakes they did

One way I can learn from others is in the book Maniac Magee, Jeffrey Magee goes threw a situation where he doesn’t know about the racism in life. If I was in that situation it would be hard for me knowing that I can’t communicate or have a friendship with any type of race. That shows me how lucky I am to be in a time period where I can be friends with different races. In the book maniac is homeless and has to live a rough life. I know if that was me I would go crazy. He also had to live without his parents. If I had to live without my parents I couldn’t live at all. Going thru life without a home without education must be very hard. It shows me how others life help me make the decision for mines.

the buffalo is a very interesting animal. It also has a pronounced hump at the shoulders, heavy forequarters, and 14 ribs instead of the 13 found in cattle. The shaggy fur is dark brown in color. It grows especially long on the head, neck, and shoulders and usually forms a beard on the chin. On rare occasions a white bison is born; these unusual specimens were especially honoured—and even worshiped—by American Indians.A mature bull stands about between 6 to 7 feet at the shoulder and weighs more than (1,980 pounds). The female is about (5 feet) tall and weighs about (700 pounds). buffalos live in small groups, or in other words bands, whose basic unit is one or more females and several generations of their offspring. Adult males live on the band's or form their own small groups.Bison prefer grass and herbs, but they will also eat twigs and leaves. Bison herds undertake short seasonal migrations, moving a few hundred miles southward in winter and then moving back north when warmer weather returns.

how would you feel if you were peg ?
=﻿=

If I were peg from the book Small Step by Peg Kehret I would feel scared and terrified. The reason I would feel scared and terrified is because if I had repertoire, billboard, and spinal I would be worried that I would might wake up knowing that I wouldn’t be able to move and a difficult time breathing only at the age of 13. It would be horrible that I can’t be near my family and friend staying on a hospital bed all day and not to be able to do things on my own. I would feel like my life is going to be trapped like a dog in a cage. The consequences of having the dieses is that spinal is when you’re paralyzed from the neck down, repertoire is when you have a difficult time breathing and billboard when it’s hard to breath or eat because you will have a hard time and it will hurt. This can relate to the time when my teacher Miss.Vasisht told the class to relate to a kid who has ADHD I said that I would feel different from other people and people will make fun of me. Peg took the situation very well and I think that’s very brave.
