  3. Mr.Buxton-

    In stead of... "my happiness dropped just like a pen from your hand"

    Would this be better... "my happiness dropped just like it would when a dog dies"

    or should i think of something different???

    Also the writing for a moment in time is just about 3 paragraphs long and about a typed paper length wise?????

  12. I accidently put conservation under my natural resources mind map, so can I just go with 3 mind maps? (I also put essay questions in individual categories)
