Arghh i got teeth in my eye
Today we went to LACMA and I saw an interesting piece. It was in the Art of the Pacific exhibit. It was a hand weapon made of wood and shark teeth. It had a handle you could easily slip your hand into. The shape of the weapon was a half circle and it had a shark tooth on each end of the end. The end was also curved so the wooden part of the weapon looked like a crescent moon.
What’s strange about this piece is that it was probably made with intentions of killing but makes you feel happy because the wooden part is in the shape of a smile.
I imagine that someone would use it in one hand and in the other they would have a shield or a sword. Pretty vicious hehehe. It might be used in war but I don’t think it would be good for hunting because you would probably just get the animal mad. Imagine getting punched with that fist!!!

A “How To” Not Lose Your Phone
99.9% chance that you will lose it.
Here are some tips on how not to lose your phone. One way is by keeping it in larger pockets or bags. Another method is to not hand it to people because you might forget that they have it. You could also try to put it in the same spot. If you don’t like any of these methods or they don’t work for you, you can try putting a tracking application on your phone.
If you actually do lose your phone then you can call it. Even if someone picks up that doesn’t mean that they are going to give it back. If you do find your phone you must have some really good luck. You could try many methods at once and you would be less likely to lose your phone. There are probably more methods but I
just told you about the ones I know.
If these methods don’t work for you, you can try other methods too. You can also try making up your own methods. You could try not taking out your phone when you don’t need it. You could also try putting it in a really bright or neon colored case.
I myself like to put it in the same spot when I get home or I always keep it in a purse, a bag, or a backpack.
I was inspired to write this when I myself lost my cell phone. Ever since I lost my phone I’ve been trying to come up with ways not to lose it. So far these are the ways that I’ve heard of and made up. In the beginning when I said that it’s not very fun to lose your phone, I meant it. Trust me, it wont be very fun.
Going Green: Let Me Count the Ways
One way you can go green is by becoming a vegan or a vegetarian. If you become a vegetarian you don’t eat meat, if you become a vegan you don’t eat meat or animal products. If your not eating meat workers will stop selling it. If the farmers stop selling meat then there won’t be so many animals on the farm. The farmers won’t have so much manure and it wont end up going into our water. Manure has lots of nitrogen so if the water gets too much nitrogen it will make the animals in their habitats die.
Another way you can go green is to bring you own bags to the market. That way you don’t waste plastic bags at the market. You should also try to use very little plastic bottles. If they end up falling on the ground or into the storm drain they could get in the ocean. When they get in the ocean the oils that are in the plastic of the bottle melt in the heat and when they get in the ocean the sea animals consume the oils. These oils in the plastic water bottles are poisonous and the sea animals will become sick or die.
You could also try to use methods of transportation other than driving. You could try riding the bus, riding your bike, or walking. You could also get a hybrid car, which runs on electricity and gas. When you drive the burning fuels create smog and human’s lungs will get weak, which can result in death. You can also make a difference at home. You can use rags instead of paper towels. You could also wash your car on your lawn so the harmful chemicals won’t go into the storm drain and straight into the ocean.
There are also other ways you can help the environment. You can try to not let the water run while washing up. Wasting water is also a very important problem in our environment. Just saving a little bit of water can make a big change. Our watershed is slowly dying. That’s why we need to take care of it. If we don’t lots of ecosystems can die. Helping the environment little by little can make a big change.
