Cats vs. Dogs
Cats and dogs are both loving animals. Cats and dogs have different characteristics that make them both interesting. I would say dogs are more of a loyal friend who will be there when you need then, while a cat is just crazy friend who will make you laugh. Dogs are are the type of animals who are the opposite from cats because you will never see a dog jump to high places and climbing things. How many times have you found a dog climbing up a tree or telephone pole? For this reason, dogs are known to stay and face their danger. When challenged, dogs will more likely become aggressive and attack. Dogs are also way more social than cats are. Dogs enjoy the company of other dogs and people. In contrast, Cats are extremely skilled in jumping and climbing. It is quite often that I spot a cat climbing a tree or jumping down from the top of a statue. For this reason, whenever they are faced with danger or feel threaten they will resort to their skill and flee. Trained dogs will let random passersby pet them and play with them. The same cannot be said for cats. Cats, most of the time, prefer to be the only pet of a household. As for letting random passersby pet them, not even trained cats like this. Most cats, or at least in my case and from those I have witnessed, runaway the moment you look at them or move one step towards them. Another difference is in their hunting skills. Cats are better at picking up quick movements and reacting while dogs are better at using their sense of smell to track. Dog and cat are one of the two most popular pet there is and you can find almost in any home or even in the streets. Both animal carry different personalities, but yet both can be lovable and carrying with their owner in their own way. Both have different personalities but both benefit from great owners and love.
The Special Person
A person who is very interesting would be my five year old cousin, Maria Elena. She is so unpredictable but yet funny. She is about 4 feet tall, average size, light brown/blonde haired, light brown eyes, and light skinned. She is always up to something which is why she is very interesting. She loves me because I am always with her and I like to hang out with her because she makes me laugh. If we are at her house, and she sees me sitting down, she comes to me, takes my hand, and leads me to her room, and begins taking out all her toys. She has a play kitchen in her room, so she pretends to cook for me and feeds me. We then begin to take pictures and we both laugh at our faces. Maria Elena is such a small trouble maker, because she is serious for a second and next thing you know she makes a little suspicious face and does something crazy and funny. Maria Elena can be very energetic at times, but she can also be calm at times. Maria Elena is always full of surprises; she is one special little girl. Maria Elena looks like such an innocent good girl, but she is such a little cute devil inside. She likes to feed her bunnies and always makes sures they have clothes on. She has an imagination of comedy writer because all she does is make you laugh to always see you happy!
Dressing Formally vs. Informally
When people dress formally is because they are dressing to impress the public around them then dressing informally, were you make no sense. Dressing formally and informally are two different style of dressing. Dressing informally is like a regular plain t-shirt or blouse with jeans or sweats pants and sneakers, with your hair not so well done, looking like if you got up from bed. For a girl, when dressing formally we have to consider many things and do many things to make us look WOW. Girls usually dress up in a nice cute dress with flats or heels (heels look more elegant), do their hair nice (some may even go to a beauty salon to do their hair), we add some nice pair of earrings, a nice set of a bracelet and necklace and we are ready to go. Some girls choose to go a little extra and go do their nails at a nail spa, get either a manicure or get acrylics; other girls do their makeup because they feel more confident and it’s a formal occasion. For guys, they dress up in a tuxedo or a dressy shirt, slacks, and add a nice watch, belt, and a nice tie or bow. Some guys go get a haircut for extra because they like to look fresh rather than having their hair long like a bum. You can straight tell when a person dresses formally and informally. When someone dresses formally, you look at the person differently in a good way and you are with a face expression that says “Woah, you have class and style!” So both terms have their suggestion of dressing and how people want to expose it.
Sweet Vs. Spicy
Spicy and sweet foods are very different from each other because they have complete opposites in taste! The only resemblance is that both are two kinds of foods. Spicy foods have some sort of sharp taste. A sweet food has its sugary side. Spicy foods include anything with any type of chili. Sweet foods are foods with the complete opposite taste. Sweet foods contain sugar of some sort. Some common spicy foods are spicy chicken, nachos with jalapenos, and more. Sweet foods are more common to everyone because they are always around the house and parties. Sweet foods like cake, ice cream, milkshakes, candy, cookies, fruit and more. Sweet foods contain lots of fat in them so they make a person gain a few pounds or so with no health benefit. According to scientist’s research, spicy foods help cure cancer because the spiciness attacks the cancer cells in one’s body. Many children and teenagers choose sweet foods because their taste buds like sweet foods and the fat it contains. Majority of adults like spicy foods because their taste buds ask for it. Sweet and spicy foods are the complete opposite because they satisfy different taste buds. I’m the type of person who goes for sweets food and not spicy food because I’m the type of person who doesn’t eat spicy. In which it all equals to the person on what they want to choose to eat. Of these foods are equally as satisfying, depending on the hunger of the person.
The Mood Of Weather
When I see the weather it makes my mood changes. In my opinion weather has makes people have mood swings just like when a ring show you your mood. Weather affects my mood in many ways. Depending on the weather is how I feel inside. If it is burning hot outside, I get sleepy and want to go to sleep or I want to go swimming. I like the hot weather because I can wear some of my favorite summer clothes. If it is warm outside, I want to go to the park for a walk. If it is windy and cold, I like to stay inside because I feel lazy and gloomy inside. During winter, I get really lazy because I do not like being active in the cold. If it is raining outside, I get calm because the sound of rain calms my body and mind. Depending the weather depends on my mood. If it is hot I am tired exhausted, peaceful, or sleepy. If it is cold and windy, I am lazy, gloomy, mad, cold, or disappointed. If it is raining I am most likely calm and serene. No one wants to go out swimming with a big smile on cold a day which is why people get lazy and cold on chilly days. On sunny days no one wants to go to Big Bear Lake because its just not the right day to feel like taking a road trip to a place that there is nothing to do on a sunny day but rather on a chilly rainy day. On rainy days some people get extremely lazy and don’t feel like going out at all so they choose to stay home and spend quality time with their family or friends. Mood weather I part of life that everyone goes through.
Public schooling and home schooling
Public schooling and home schooling are very different from each other but with the same learning intentions. The good thing about them is that they both intend for the students to learn whether it is public or home schooling. Public schooling requires the students to go to a certain location where the school is located at. Home schooling is school right at home. A teacher can come over to your house or you may go to the teacher’s house or you just study on your own with the help of your parents. Public schooling has a strict schedule and home schooling may or may not. Public schooling offers nutritional break, and lunch. Home schooling may offer nutritional break or it may not. Homeschooling is different from public schooling because home schooling could vary in the times and public schooling does not. Public schooling requires students to move from class to class, and home schooling does not. Throughout public schooling, you will get to meet new children your age other teachers, and in home schooling you most likely will not get to experience that. In public schooling you will get the chance to make friends and enemies and learn how to choose your friends wisely and in home schooling you will not. In home schooling you will have more time to do more things because you will be home after your home schooling is over so you can do chores, homework right away or whatever else you choose to do. Public schooling is not like home where you can sit however or do whatever you want, there are rules that the students and teachers must follow and strict standards that the teachers have to follow throughout the year. When it comes to public schooling vs. homeschooling, both have much to offer, they both have their pros n con, and both are up to the parents to decide where to send their child.
Knowledge and Understanding
Understanding and knowledge have two different views in tem of concepts. Understanding is defining as the mental process of a person who comprehends while knowledge is the acquaintance of facts, truths, or principles, as from study or investigation. Both understanding and knowledge are mental process a person makes. However, I believe there is a difference. For you to understand something there must be a "click" in your mind. for example if you see a rose flower with thorns on the stem and someone tells you that thorn hurts, it is easy for something to click in your mind and you to see the sharpness to the thorn and understand that that thorn can hurt you. However, you do not know how much it could hurt you or what the degree of pain is. That comes from knowledge because the only way you can find out exactly how much it hurts is by experiencing it yourself. Understanding comes from the mind while knowledge comes from an act. In other words you do not need knowledge to understand. You can understand something first and then choose whether you want to investigate it and become knowledgeable on the particular subject. Having knowledge is going beyond what a normal person would understand in a subject. Knowledge has the concept that no one can take away from you, and understanding you do not have until finalize what you gather in your information
