Jason and Susie walked very quickly to the old ampitheater, panting for breath. "Tell me again why we are hurrying so fast?" Sus

ie gasped as she asked the question. They had run at least four blocks already and she was extremely out of breath.
"My grandpa said to meet him here at exactly 3:00 to go through the old maze. And we have to go through the maze- it's for that weird assignment Mrs. Hicks gave us."

Susie rolled her eyes. There had been a lot of confused students when strange Mrs. Hicks gave out her last big project description. They had each been assigned to go through the town's maze. No other instructions were given. Just 'Go through the maze by the end of the semester." Below the very unhelpful instructions was a list of contact people who could assist everyone in getting started.

The maze had been designed ages ago- before the dinosaurs died out, probably- in a feeble attempt to attract tourists. And it worked- for about thirty years. Of course, all that ended about fifty years ago. It was no surprise that Jason's grandpa was one of the people on the contact list. Everyone on the list was old enough to be the students' grandparents. Some were even old enough to be their great-grandparents.

When they finally reached the base of the ampitheater, which was also the main entrance to the maze, there was no one there waiting for them. "Nuts!"Jason cried out. "We've missed him! It's 3:15."

"We aren't THAT late," Susie muttered. Jason nodded his head in agreement. But his grandpa prided himself on punctuality. If he said he was going in the maze at 3:00, he was going in at 3:00 sharp whether he had his tourists in tow or not. "So we have to make another appointment with your grandpa?" Again, Jason nodded, grimacing.

That's when he spotted the paper stuck to the memos sign at the edge of the ampitheater. It said 'Jason' on the front of it, and he recognized his grandfather's handwriting.

"Wait, maybe not!" he said, hopefully. He yanked the paper down and unfolded it. But his hope quickly drained and confusion replaced it.

​

He read aloud, "Jason, I am heading into the maze. Here is the key to get in."

"I don't see a key," Susie interrupted.

"That's because there isn't one." Jason motioned for her to look at the paper, then continued reading. "I couldn't wait so I went in without you too bad you were late."

"So.... what's the key?" He looked at Susan for help. She shrugged.

"Wait, here's a lock on the gate of the maze," she said. "It has a combination lock."

"So, that weird sentence is a clue to the combination? We were supposed to be here at 3:00. Is it 300?"

"No, it's letters. Let's see... Six letters."

A short paragraph on wasting time plsss fasst
dimaraw [331]
Why do humans waste time? We all do it. We put off tasks we see as boring or procrastinate to avoid having to complete a task. We waste time by over thinking about situations when they require a split second decision. But is this really wasting time? Some situations require a little over thinking so could it be deemed un-nescassary to ponder over other options. You could save money, time and effort by just wondering about a simple 'what if?'. This brings up the question - is wasting time really a waste?

Read the excerpt from Chapter 4 of Wheels of Change.
qaws [65]

The answer is the last option: Someone else may view the actions of the female cyclists as admirable and impressive.

Something is subjective when it is a judgement influenced by personal feelings and outlooks. And these events happened in the 1900, so you could say that whoever wrote the piece was subjective and biased againt women in general, and if it had been men competing even if no money was involved they'd say it was a great show of sportsmanship

The snapping turtle by: Joseph bruchac
NARA [144]
In Joseph Bruchac's The Snapping Turtle, Sonny (protagonist) lives in a rural area with his grandparents. The grandfather is part Native American, and makes sure Sonny learns important values from his heritage. is trying to hunt a Snapping Turtle. On his way to catching the turtle, he sees a group of pre-teens and tries to avoid them, remarking on how he tends to avoid that kind of people as they don't seem to care about nature like his family does. He also says how he would never fit in among them as they would make him participate of a <em>ritual</em> involving tying him up and burning his toes, and calling him names. Furthermore, he mentions how these youngsters were noisier than his grandpa and himself, scaring game away. 

We can infer that these kids acquired these values at home or somewhere else in the city, where adapting to nature is not a vital skill anymore.
