Are Maggots Useless or Helpful/ Maggot Diagram - By Giselle
My Class and I read an article about A 17 year old girl who finds herself in a rain forest after surviving a 10,000 feet fall from a disintegrating plane. Once the girl found civilization, after 11 days of walking and surviving, she realized her wounded arm was infested with maggots so thats when the topic of "are maggots helpful or useless" was brought up.
I have researched about it and saw some pretty disturbing photos but found out maggots are helpful. Once you put a maggot into your wound they each your rotting flesh and leave you with healthy flesh, its called maggot therapy. Also if you were interested in maggots take a look at my maggot life cycle.
Maggot Life Cycle Time Span:
How Long does the fly live for - 28 days
How Long do the eggs take to hatch - 24 hours
How long does the larva - 10 - 14 days
How long does pupa turn into a fly - Three - Six days

Diary Entry ( Christians Suffers ) - By Giselle
Dear Diary....
I was in my class presenting a piece of work I had done, not able to finish my sentence. A bomb went off, the explosion consuming a third of the classroom. Children were running as they scream in fear, I was able to escape. I was running towards the exit as a tear had fled from my eye but the look of surprise has not uncommon upon my face, as this well known bombing happens...constantly.
I run and run, as houses collapse,guns go off and bombed cars erupt. I make my way back home, the looks of happiness and the tears of relief appear on my family's faces when they see me safe and clean of pain. I sit down in the corner of the house writing in my diary. It helps me to stay calm as I know their is horror outside of these walls.

A Yellow Umbrella - By Giselle
A Yellow Umbrella
A flood of mixed emotions has come upon me. I gave him my umbrella, no words came out of my mouth just a friendly smile, though in my head that's not what I'm feeling. What a terrible person am I, I came in to this attic thinking I would just get my umbrella and get out taking my bad intentions with me, instead I learnt a valuable lesson on being grateful. I apologized to him with a stuttering voice, I expected no forgiveness, his heart was so pure, humble, kind and loving. My eyes glistened and sparkled when I heard him say... "I Forgive You."
