J0h^ http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/TheGuitarArbiter/299268/ Wed, 14 Mar 2007 09:45:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/TheGuitarArbiter/299268/ Here's my Book Report On the great divorce by C.S Lewis. The Great Divorce Synopsis: The great divorce is about a man dreaming about heaven and hell the difference, and the journey in between. Before I start about the book here is some information on the author Clive Staples Lewis (29 November 1898 – 22 November 1963), commonly referred to as C. S. Lewis, was an Irish author and scholar. Lewis is known for his work on medieval literature, Christian apologetics, literary criticism and fiction. He is best known today for his children’s series The Chronicles of Narnia.         The Great Divorce starts with the narrator finding himself at a bus stop-there are several lines and buses leaving and coming. He of course gets in line not knowing where the bus leads or if he’s even in line for the bus. While he is in line he talks to several people learning, more and more about Gray Town.         He was at the bus stop of Gray Town and could see all the houses and shops were empty, he learned that in gray town people couldn’t get along so they just kept moving farther and farther away from each other. Finally a bus arrived and all the people in his line could fit into the bus, once the bus left it started to take off and all you could see was grayness of the never ending twilight of the town. Once the bus had finished its trip you could not see Gray Town and everyone rushed off of the bus, after they got off the bus they found the grass to be as hard as diamonds and a leaf almost impossible to pick up. After several minutes like this all the ‘ghost’ people could see bright lights far away in the distance coming towards them as they cam closer it was men and woman covered in light, the ghosts could feel warmth coming off of them. As they came closer the light people separated and went to separate areas and approached the ghost they were assigned to and began talking to them begging for forgiveness for wrongs they had done to them on earth. Some of the ghosts agreed to go with them into the mountains (the foot hills of heaven) And others ran onto the bus and begged the driver to leave immediately.     While the ghosts were still talking the narrator slips off into the trees and follows a river. Since his body is so light he can walk up stream but after an hour of very little progress he decides to walk on the smooth stones on the shore. He reaches the water fall and sees a man trying to get an apple but he can barely pick it off the ground using all of his might. He then turns back and heads back to the bus. But not before he sees someone else.         A tall skinny man with red hair sitting on a fence a little way out of the forest as our narrator gets closer he finds the man to be a Scottish author who’s books he had read over and over as a child. He then finds out that the author is the master destined for him so they begin walking and the author tells him many things about the land. You begin in the plain as a ghost but as you climb toward the mountains you become more and more solid.     After a long time walking the came back near the bus and listen to conversations of people and the solid people assigned to them, A woman is begging a ghost to leave her alone and bring her son to her because she loved him so much. The solid person tried to explain to her if she loved him she would let him take him journey into the mountains, She would not listen so the solid person blew a trumpet very suddenly many unicorns stormed through the patch of trees and continued on and the ghost woman disappeared.     Once they returned near the bus the Scotsman told our narrator that the bus traveled through a hole so small he could not see it, he pointed out a crack barely visible and said you came here through a crack no bigger than that. He then explained hell was so small because in the after life things are measured with joy and love so hell is so small it could easily fit in your hand. He also explained he will become solid as he learns more and grows in the lord because you can’t have true love or joy without God. Most of the ghosts had gone back on the bus except a few who accepted God and wanted to travel to the mountains to find his love.     Then our narrator wakes up and finds himself fallen backwards at his desk with writing ink on his face and that a large amount of time has passed.

West Virginia, which has the worst childhood obesity problem in the United States, is stepping up plans to use Konami Corp.'s "Dance Dance Revolution" to battle the bulge in its schools. The state, which plans to put the popular dancing video game in every one of its public schools, said on Wednesday research suggested that it helped put a halt to weight gain. Preliminary results from a 24-week study of 50 overweight or obese children, aged 7 to 12, showed that those who played the game at home for at least 30 minutes five days per week maintained their weight and saw a reduction in some risk factors for heart disease and diabetes. The study's control group included a dozen children who did not play the game for the first 12 weeks, then did so for remainder of the study period. Those children piled on an average of 6 pounds during the first portion of the study but saw their weight stabilize in the second half. The West Virginia Public Employees Insurance Agency sponsored the research project, which primarily involved children of its policy holders. Food intake was not monitored as part of the study, said Emily Murphy, a pediatric exercise physiologist from the West Virginia University School of Medicine's pediatrics department, who was part of the research team. Murphy said that, prior to the study, most of the children reported feeling awkward about participating in gym and physical activity at school. Following the study, children from the group reported feeling more confident and willing to try other exercises, she said. Murphy West Virginia plans to develop after-school clubs for playing the game. "It's going to allow kids to be active in an after-school activity that's not sports," she said.   John http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/TheGuitarArbiter/278921/ Fri, 2 Feb 2007 07:33:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/TheGuitarArbiter/278921/ Sup my people! ok your not my people.
