The Nazca Lines  Hot

Posted by Curtis in persuasive writingessayaliens

Description

In the desert in Peru, there are lines on the ground called Nazca lines. The Nazca people made them years ago. The Nazca lines form pictures that you can see from the air, and some of them are very complicated. Some people have claimed that the Nazca lines were made as landing strips for alien spaceships, but these lines are not proof of aliens.


Believers ask why the Nazca lines are there, as if the best reason why people would make these lines is for aliens spaceships. But lots of scientists say that people could have used the lines for rituals. Maybe if it didn't rain, the Nazca people walked through the lines to get rain gods to make rain, for example.

Believers also say that the Nazcas couldn't have made the lines, since the pictures can only be seen from the sky. That's not true. You can draw a small picture, and then measure it to enlarge the drawing on the ground.

The simplest explanation for something is usually the best one. Is it simpler that people held rituals or that they knew aliens? Is it simpler that people drew a large picture from a small picture or that they were directed by aliens? Since there are lots of good explanations for the Nazca lines, there's no reason to say they are proof of aliens.

Hi, Curtis. I think this is really good, except the writing seems a little awkward and maybe choppy, too. Maybe you could have some better transitions or combine sentences. Like, it says "In the desert in Peru, there are lines on the ground called Nazca lines. The Nazca people made them years ago." Maybe it could say, "Years ago in the Peruvian desert, the Nazca people made mysterious lines on the ground, called Nazca lines." Do you kinda see what I mean?

All Intelligent Life Loves Pizza

How many aliens does it take to make a lasagna? None! Aliens don't make lasagna because they like pizza! Since alien pizza is the best pizza in the universe, I'm gonna give you two types of recipes, alien head pizza and UFO ship pizza. These two recipes show you how to make pizza meals that are delicious, fun, easy to make, and totally extraterestrial!
Imagine a green alien face... and from it come the delicious smells of garlic and cheese! That's alien head pizza--little green pizza men that are great for a snack or meal.

Alien Head Pizza
--6 English muffins
--1 cup pesto sauce
--1 cup baby spinach leaves
--1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
--garlic powder to taste
--24 unsalted almonds

1. First, cut the English muffins in half.
2. Cut the sides of the muffins to shape them like alien heads.
3. Put pesto sauce, half the cheese, the spinach, and then the rest of the cheese on the English muffins.
4. Sprinkle the muffins with garlic powder.
5. Bake the pizzas on a cookie sheet at 350 degrees for 10 minutes, until the cheese is gooey!
6. Put almonds on top to be alien eyes.

When you need a full-size pizza; think of flying saucers. UFO ship pizza is the aliens' favorite. Romombulus says, "It's out of this world!" It looks like a real UFO, with extra gooey pizza goodness!

UFO Ship Pizza
--1 large round roll, about 5"
--3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
--1-1/2 cups pizza sauce
--1 cup sliced mushrooms
--1 cup sliced olives
--1 prebaked pizza crust

1. Cut a round hole in the bottom of the roll and hollow it out.
2. Spoon some sauce into the hollowed-out roll and fill with mushrooms, olives, and cheese.
3. Put the filled roll, round side up, on top of the pizza crust to make a UFO.
4. Spread the rest of the pizza sauce all over the crust and on top of the bread.
5. Spread half of the cheese on top of the pizza sauce.
6. Spread the mushrooms and olives on top of the cheese.
7. Put the rest of the cheese on top! You can never have enough cheese!
8. Bake the UFO at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.

For a special alien pizza party, you can serve a UFO ship pizza complete with a batch of alien head pizzas. Even non-believers will like alien pizza as a Halloween treat. Besides, October is national Pizza Month, so in honor of the great food of pizza, try your own alien pizza at home! Just follow the recipes, and you'll have a totally cool pizza any time.
