Oponion Prompt #13

Opinion Prompt 13. We should replace number grades with letter grades. 

I think that number grades shouldnt be replaces with letter grades. I like number grades in that, they are more specific and that they can be turned into letter grades. With letter grades, if you recieve an "A" that could be anything from a 93-96. While with a 94, you are able to have an exact grade and also you are able to change that to an "A" if you wanted to. I really like the number grades just because you can average out your grades and then see what your GPA is. I like that because with letter grades you are unable to find out your final GPA because they're not specific enough. I disagree in that number grades should be changed to letter grades.

I Want to Write About #86

The first time I saw the ocean was when I was about eight years old. I traveled to Maya Riviera, Mexico. My family and I stayed at a very nice hotel, and I remember loving and enjoying the enormous pool. Although the pool was very luxurious, the ocean was simply breathtaking. I remember jumping in the slow but powerful tides and looking for small and colorful tropical fish. The powerful ocean can do anything it desires, it can sweep you out to a remote island in the blink of an eye. Its beauty and ever lasting distance along the bright and forever going horizon during a beautiful and magnificent sunset. Out of all the oceans that I've traveled to, the Maya Riviera ocean was definately the most memorable. Its beauty, power, and sound takes you to pure paradise.

A cat has nine lives.

"a cat has nine lives," is an old expression saying that cats can resurrect from the dead, or that they tend to stay away from harm. I think this expression actually means that cats have such fast reflexes that trouble or danger is not much of a problem for them. Their nine lives derive from their "cat like reflexes" and simply just means that cats are very fast and quite lucky at some times. Their jumping, clawing, and flexible body allows them to accomplish many dangerous and incapable tasks that us humans are unable to perform. I don't know where the "9" part comes from, but I do know that cats are quite capable of avoiding the gates of death. Maybe this is suggesting that after a certain amount of certain death encounters, their fate catches up with them and finally stops them. Cats are extraordinary animals that are much capable of more than just 9 lives!
