A time I had to Show Courage

Well, one of my first courageous experiences was when I had to ride my first roller coaster . I was at 6 Flags Chicago and my cousin dared me to go on the America Eagle. When we reached the place I took a deep breath and saw how this monstrous ride dashed up and down, and turned around. It looked absolutely terrifying.We got our places in the queue and started to move along the line.

After a few minutes we reached to the top of the line. When we were just one person away I wanted to turn back and give up, but my cousin kept reminding me and that I had a choice  to be brave or be a coward. I chose courage and sat on the rickety kart.

Suddenly the ride started to move ever so slowly. I could feel my stomach churning and my nerves were tingling.Slowly it started to climb the bumpy slope and when we were at the top it suddenly took off at top speed with a loud crash, I could hear my self saying "you made it! " I screamed at the top of my voice hysterically, hoping it would all finish soon.


After it finished I was shocked, I had just gone on my first roller coaster, my cousin patted me on the back saying
" Wow Ramon I'm proud of you, you achieved your goal ".Back at the car I sat and thought to myself, wow that was a real adventure!

How did early Humans use their art to express there culture?

Early humans paintings were very fascinating. They used their imagination or their dreams to make some of their paintings and in others they painted their hunting experiences or major events in their lives. They also painted their hands on the wall to pass on to people to show that early humans lived there. Early Humans may have painted animals that they may have killed or embraced during hunting or if they were pets to them. Sometimes early humans may have left spears that they decorated as a remembrance that great  warriors used spears to keep off there enemies from attacking them.


Early humans may have left pictures of them to note that they lived in these caves for a period of time. Some early humans may have drawn pictures of their great discoveries that they did during their evolutions. They painted on the walls of the caves where they lived to express to others what knowledge they may have gathered, and it is through these early paintings that we have information of what early human life may been like. We also know from these paintings that much of the artifacts and tools we  use today may have had  its origins in what these early humans found.
