WATER

Last week I wrote an opinion editorial on the topic of fire, which was the first installment in the element series. This week I am going to continue the element series, and give my opinions on the element of H20 (water for the layman).

Water has been on planet Earth for approximately 4.5 billions years. That is an extremely long amount of time. That’s almost as long as it will take my instructor, Mr. Jeff Kocur to grade my fire story, but that’s another topic.

In the music industry, water is a very popular topic with songs about the topic coming in from French Montana, Deep Purple, and of course, who could forget the god of ugliness himself, Ugly God. From this you can see humans see water as vital to everyday life, which it is. At least that’s what experts like Bill Nye, John Williams and Aquaman try to make clear everyday.

In my last article, the fire installment, I mentioned how cavemen founded fire and learned how to control over time. Water, the wet kind no doubt, was discovered by someone, I’m quite certain of that but it remains unknown who that someone or group is. It is very well possible that cavemen could have went 2 for 2 in their discoveries and founded water as well. If that be the case then those guys really were quite the discoverers.

With origins of water on my mind as a young whippersnapper, I got to thinking about how dangerous water really was. When I was a young lad, I watched the series of “What’s New, Scooby Doo?” on a very high number of occasions.

In the ninth episode of season one, which was titled “She sees Sea Monsters by the Seashore”, I found out that water can produce some seriously scary monsters. Scooby and the gang were up to their usual mystery solving antics when a robot sea monster started terrorizing civilians. Mystery Inc solve the mystery of course and everything was fine. Although all was swell in cartoon land, that episode instilled in me that water could be very dangerous.

With that being said, my time in the thought pool of water has come to an end. If you take three things from this article I would hope they would be water is wet, Scooby Doo can also be informational and this will most likely not be graded although it meets the requirements of an OP/ED.
