The Wolf and the Sheep's clothing

I think the fable of this story is...... " Appearences can be misleading." I say this beacuse, just the fur of the dead sheep tricked the lamb to follow the wolf.

Lit

The four Oxen and the Lion

I think the fable of this story is....... "When we are together we can't be broken, but when we leave each other we all fall." I say this because when they stayed together the lion couldnt attack but when they were alone there was no hope for any of them.

Lit

The fisher and the little fish

I think the fable of this story is..... "You may only have one chance to do something, so take that chance when you have it." I say this because in the story the fisherman says he may not catch the little fish again.

Lit

The Crow and the Pitcher

I think the fable to this story is..... "Little by little will get the job done." I say this because the crow took pebble after pebble and droped them into the pitcher and after a while his work payed off.

Lit

The Fox and the Goat

I think this fable to this story is..... "Never trust someone you know is between a rock and a hardplace" I say this because the goat didn't know if he was lieing or not so he could easily trick him.

When i read this story i didn't know what to say. I thought to myself how could they do that to a loved one and how would they feel if they couldnt do anythhing right. It wasnt like he chose to be old and frail. It really annoyed me that the son and daughter-in-law couldn't see how upset he was. They were being extremely selfish and they seperated him from everyone, like he was not important. To me this relates to empathy in C.A.R.E.S because you have to realize how others feel and be empathetic towards their disabilities. I think the moral to this story is put yourself in the other person's shoes. It is like the golden rule, Treat others the way YOU want to be treated. If you wouldn't want it done to you then don't do it to others.

Science

The articles I read have told me a lot of important information. For example, in the first article I found out that there is no relationship between the number of chromosomes and the number of genes an organism has. In fact, some organisms, like a goldfish have more chromosomes than we do. Also, closely related species have a close amount of chromosomes. So since we are nothing like a goldfish we are bound to have a complete different number of chromosomes. Lastly, i found it interesting that there are ten trillion chromosome possibilities!That is a lot of numbers.

Science HW due jan 5th

I visited the website (posted below) about traits and heredity. I learned many things i did not know before. For example, I learned that each parent has two sets of 23 chromosones, in total they have 46 each. So when one set from both parents meet it will eventually turn into a child giving the baby 46 as well. Also, a parent contributes to one full set of chromosones. The chromosones can come from either of the parents two sets. The only rule to this is, the child has top recieve exactly one of each chromosone. Lastly, every child has a different set of chromosones wich will lead to some resembling the mother and some will resemble the father.
