Vault 111

(Nate saying introduction)
In the year 1945 my great-great-grandfather served in the army he wondered when he would get to go home to his wife and to the son he’d never seen. He got his wish when the U.S ended world war 2 by dropping the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The world awaited Armageddon instead something miraculous happened. We began to use atomic energy not as a weapon but as a nearly limitless source of power. They use this to make the world better. The idea of nuclear powered cars has been brought back. Domestic robots have been invented to help people. But with every great new thing that happens in the world there always seems to be a war over it.

Robots have been built to go to war and hydraulic amour has been designed for the heavy infantry. Wars have been raging against the U.S.A and China. A company called Vault-tec designed special vaults (a fallout bunker) to keep civilians safe from nuclear fallout. Let me tell you of an event, news of nuclear detonation has been received. Residence who have been put on vault tec's list are authorized to proceed to their local vault, vault 111. Unfortunately some people did not make it to their vaults in time and those who did not make it would have had to evolve with their surroundings or perish.

Not all vaults where safe. Some vaults where conducting experiments to see how well the average human could

adapt/survive with their surroundings. One vault in particular (vault 111) they were focusing on cryo stasis pods to observe the effects of long-term cryogenic suspended animation on unsuspecting test subjects. Only people with war experience or relations to people who have had war experience are put on this list.

But all that changed when two scientists escorted by a mercenary broke into the vault. Their mission was to extract the only baby in the vault. The mother of the child was holding him. She was not eager to give up her infant son she and one of the scientists struggled but the fight was ended when the mercenary pulled out his large caliber .44 magnum revolver and shot the women. In the pod in front of her was her husband Nate he was devastated witnessing the death of his wife and the abduction of his son. He was paralyzed with anger. After the abstraction was made only the 2 pods were re-frozen. Set for another 60 years.

As Nate gained consciousness he heard the vault computer say “Manuel seal override”. His pod opened up he instantly without hesitation rushed over to his wife. Disengaging her cryo pod the wound was still as fresh as the day she got shot. Nate then realized it was too late to give her medical attention. He then grabs her wedding ring and promises to save their infant son. He attempts to leave the vault he comes across a handful of large irradiated cockroaches luckily for him they died just as easy as regular cockroaches. On his way out he comes across the skeletal remains of a scientist with a Pip-boy (portable information processor) attached to its severed arm he equips this and attaches it to a plug in the vault door control board and overrides it to exit the vault.

(Pip-boy)

He emerges from the the vault laying his eyes on the wasteland for the first time he gave a long shocked gasp. He then says to himself war...war never changes.

(The Vault the main protagonist was in)

Why animals should not be held in captivity

I strongly believe that animals should not be held in captivity. I will provide you with many reasons as to why animals should not be held in captivity.

God has created every living creature to be free because they were born free. Every animal has a natural habitat like the polar bears for example are made for snow and camels are made for the deserts. What right does man have to trap animals and put them in the zoo or in a cage. If animals were free then they will be healthy and will not be sad or angry. How would you feel if you were in a cage?

When you go to the zoo some people mock and tease animals because of their appearance or their action, but some of those animals get angry or upset and sometimes they get hostile. But some people usually throw objects at the animals and may harm them and injure them. How would you feel if you were treated disrespectfully, was mocked at and had objects thrown at you?

Although the animals are being feed they are being feed processed food. Processed food is full of chemicals these chemicals make the animals sick the animals can die from being sick.

Some animals are born in captivity like lions. Lions are natural predators they are born to hunt. The lions in the zoo are just given food the lose their ability to hunt. Birds. Birds are born to be free and fly birds in the zoo are put in a cage their space is limited birds in the wild fly all over the place. Some birds in the zoo are chased and mocked because of the way they look. Most elephant enclosures at zoos are filthy. Elephants are forced to eat and sleep in there own filth they don,t get feed their proper food only bananas and apples elephants natural diets are made up of grasses, small plants, bushes, fruit, twigs, tree bark, and roots.

These are just some of the animals that have to suffer in the zoo. In my opinion i believe that animals should not be held in captivity.

An Explanation Exemplar Why the sea is salty

An Explanation Exemplar

Why the sea is salty

Seventy percent of the world’s surface is colored with water. Most of the world's water is salty how did it become salty?

The salt in the oceans has come from the soil and rocks on the land. Rain falling on the land flows through the the soil and soaks through the rocks. As it does dissolves traces of chemicals called minerals is common salt.

Much of the water, now containing traces of salt eventual makes its way back to the oceans either along rivers or rocks.

Water is being constantly evaporated from the oceans, forming clouds that result in rain. However, when water is evaporated the salt is left behind.

In this way, over millions of years, salt has built up in the ocean, making the sea water gradually more salty.

Why do houses have windows

Why do houses have windows

There are many reasons why houses have windows. I will provide you with many reasons as to why houses have windows.

Windows are a big part of your house’s appearance. Imagine looking at a house with no windows it would really plain and dull.

Houses are full of carbon-dioxide from cooking, dryers, microwaves and so on. Windows help foul air out your house and gets rid of carbon-dioxide. If air didn’t enter our houses we would either get ill or suffocate. Would you want to be sick because of a lack of oxygen? I certainly wouldn’t.

Windows allow us to see out of our houses that’s because they are transparent. They let us see things that are occurring outside things such as construction, farming, flooding etc.

Some houses are colder than others. When winter comes it will very cold and light provides warmth windows let light shine all throughout your house.

Windows let in a form of light called natural light. A house without natural light would be really dull and gloomy. When a house is gloomy, it makes people feel depressed.

I trust that I have convinced you why there is a need for windows in our houses.

How do seeds germinate

How do seeds germinate

How do seeds germinate? When seeds germinate they begin to grow and put out shoots after a period of dormancy.

But for this to happen it needs three things. Oxygen, water and the correct temperature. When you place the seed in the ground, it instantly begins to absorb oxygen and water from the soil. There is a substance on leaves called chlorophyll. What this does is it draws in sunlight for the plant to grow.

Seeds also have food inside them. Oxygen, sunlight, water and food helps seeds germinate. The seed then germinates and roots are formed below the ground. The roots absorb the water and food in the soil.

I bet you thought all a plant needed to grow was water and soil but plants a far more complex than that so if you want to grow a plant I would suggest growing it outside.

How does a bee develope

Bees are social insects. They live in organised groups called colonies. Bee colonies live in a hive. Hives have male or drones, worker bees and a queen. Queen bees lay three thousand eggs a day and they never leave the nest.

Four days after the eggs are laid they hatch into larvae. The larvae are fed with bee bread. Bee bread is a mixture of nectar and pollen.

Nine days after the eggs have been hatched, the larvae are then put into a cell in the honeycomb and are covered with wax. The larvae do not eat during this time as they are beginning their transformation in the pupa stage.

After twenty one days, the pupa then opens up and a worker bee emerges ready for action to collect pollen for the hive.

The life cycle of the bee is called metamorphosis.
