Narrative Essay Samples For Middle School
The document discusses predicting the outcome of the US presidential election before voting day on November 8th. It notes that while weather forecasts and election polls are not perfect, they have historically predicted the winner correctly around 80% of the time. It argues that if a candidate has maintained a strong lead throughout the campaign, barring unexpected events, they will likely continue their lead and win the election. However, predicting the future is not guaranteed, as shown by the inaccurate 5% margin of error in the 1948 election. Overall, while pollsters and pundits can make educated predictions, uncertainties remain until actual voting is complete.

How to Use Digital Storytelling and Social Media to Market Your Responsible T...Audrey & Dan Uncornered Market
The document discusses using storytelling and social media to market responsible tourism offerings. It argues that storytelling helps cut through the noise, delivers a deeper impression, and differentiates offerings. The key is to communicate the experience first before mentioning responsible tourism. Case studies show how organizations like Hostelling International and G Adventures use social media to tell stories that highlight their responsible tourism impacts and benefits to local communities. The document encourages tourism marketers to experiment with social media to build depth, address environmental and social pillars, and have fun with storytelling.3 of the World’s Strangest Charities
The document discusses 3 of the strangest charities in the world:
1. The ISPCA held a dog sledding fundraiser in 2010 that forced huskies to endure hours of freezing cold and running, which goes against the ISPCA's mission of preventing animal cruelty.
2. Tall Clubs International is dedicated to promoting awareness of tall people and offers a $1,000 scholarship solely based on being at least 5'10" for women or 6'2" for men.
3. The Order of the Azure Rose is a charity that does renaissance-era reenactments focused on chivalry and etiquette to fund their educational programs, despite chivalry being considered outdated by many today
