Polar Express Research Paper

In the year 2008, I received my first elf for Christmas. Her name was Snowflake and she appeared with my brothers’ elves and my mom’s old childhood elf, Duende. She’s so beautiful with her velvet green dress, red and white striped tights with green velvet elf shoes with tiny bells. Every year after Thanksgiving, my elves would arrive. I have about twelve elves because I take such good care of them that Santa sends me his elves. Our family elves are extremely mischievous and do tricks every day during the Christmas Holidays. It is my favorite time of the year. Every morning as soon as I wake up, I run downstairs to see what mischievous things my elves have done. They are very smarting, witty and extremely creative. Christmas is my favorite holiday. I love Christmas carols, decorating the house with my mom, baking cookies for Santa, the smell of pine from the Christmas tree and opening presents Christmas morning.

December events should be filled with joy with the Lights on Rice Parade, Festival of Lights, Bell Ringing and much more! Please don’t forget that the minimum hours for December is 6, so be sure to sign up for these events and show your Christmas spirit to the community.

The Polar Express is a classic children’s Christmas story written by acclaimed author Chris Von Allsburg. Chris Von Allsburg writes and illustrates all of his books and won the Caldecott medal for The Polar Express. The Polar Express is a Christmas story of getting a kid to believe in Santa. The boy climbs aboard a train to go to the North Pole to see Santa. He is the one chosen to receive the first gift of Christmas, which was a silver bell off of the reindeers. He cannot hear it at first, but then he finally lets himself believe in Santa and can hear the bell for the rest of his life. The movie The Polar Express is the only adaptation that has been made from the

The exhibit contains mostly all the pre historic animals, plants, rocks, and are arranged in chronological order. My favorite dinosaur was the Triceratops. This dinosaur is known for their three horns and bony frill around the back of its head. . It needed its three horns to try and protect itself from the Tyrannosaurus Rex which lived during the same time period. I learned that the Triceratops roamed North America about 67 million to 65 million years ago, during the end of the Cretaceous Period. Also, these herbivore dinosaurs grew about 26 feet in length, 10 feet in height and weighed anywhere between 6 to 12 tons. The Skeletal display at the Museum was not the real skeltons of the Triceratops , it was just a copied replica of the bones that was found in dessseret of Colorado. Overall, I had a great experience at the Museum of Natural Science and it made me want to go to its sister museum at the Houston Museum

As Christmas time approaches this year, I turn my thoughts to the many traditions that my family holds. Though most of the family tradition are convention, my family places a unique twist on the idea of family time. Most of my family members are avid outdoorsmen, and from this shared characteristic a new tradition was born: Christmas Eve ice fishing. Unusual as it may seem, this tradition has become one of my most anticipated family activities each year.

Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” has been a staple story relating to Christmas since the 1840’s. Due to this, it has inspired others to make movies similar to this beloved tale. Namely, “A Muppets Christmas” from 1992 and “A Christmas Carol” from 2009. These two recreations may have similarities to the original story, but they share quite many differences. One major contrast is that they are not all similar in telling the tale: Charles Dickens’ original story was a book, while the other two were movies from not long ago.

“Parents who can’t get their kids gifts want to do that, and some kids believe in Santa, which is awesome,” Manibusan explained. “So we took the gifts and put them where the kids couldn’t see them, and while they were having fun, the parents could take them to the car. That way they could give it to them on Christmas like any other family.”

No matter how old I get, I still can’t sleep on Christmas Eve. As a child, my brother and I would be ushered off to bed early, just to lie there with heavy eyes. We would try so hard to catch a glimpse of Santa Claus. Growing up we are all imprinted with the idea of a portly man in a red suit coming down our chimney to deposit gifts under our tree; that is, if you made the nice list. This ideology is a hundred and fifty year old tradition that encourages a child to believe in a fabricated being in exchange for a reward. As much as our parents try to shelter us from the truth, it is inevitable that we will discover that our beloved Santa is nothing more than a fable. As a child our naivety is attributed to our innocence, but as adults, there is a myriad of information out there for the taking.

A standout amongst the most surely understand Jurassic dinosaurs around, the Pterodactyl is prepared to take flight and chase everything in sight. Enter this Jurassic world as a youthful flying reptile, offer him some assistance with building his own tribe, develop into a monster, and overwhelm the

A lot of people have dreamed of seeing the Northern Lights. Have you ever thought about the science behind the Aurora Borealis? Did you even know it was also call the Aurora Borealis? Well know here is your chance to see and gather information about the Northern Lights/ Aurora Borealis.

The Northern Lights are collisions of gaseous particles in Earth’s atmosphere with charged particles released from the sun’s atmosphere. The northern lights form when charged particles released from the sun during a solar flare that kind of spike the Earth’s magnetic shield and collide with molecules and atoms in the atmosphere. The lights are seen in different types of colors like yellowish green, pale green, pink, purple, blue, and sometimes orange. The green or pale green is the most common and the most people have seen.

I watched Jurassic World when it came out and enjoyed it. Does it give more about the rogue dinosaur on how it was created in the lab? I would find that very interesting to know how or what the dinosaur is created out of. I think I might check this website out because it would be interesting to learn more about the characters and about other dinosaurs. I think it is cool how they include make believe events for Jurassic World like it is really up and running. The website creator put a lot of thought into the making of the site if they put events up of what is going on in Jurassic World. What else make the website more educational beside the pictures and information of dinosaurs? For example games for the kids
