Describe the Rusty Ruins. What are they? What happened during this time period?

The rusty ruins is an old civilization that doesn't exsist anymore. It is where the school takes a field trip to every year to see how the older people use to live. It is basically like the places where we live now.

Define peer pressure. Think of a time when it happened to you or someone you know and explain the situation in a paragraph.

Peer pressure is the influence exerted by a peer group in encouraging a person to change his or her attitudes, values, or behavior in a better or worse way. Better is by pressuring someone to get a good grade on a test. Worse is pressuring someone to smoke a cigaratte or drink alcohol.

About 2 years ago we were playing a baseball tournament at Baseball USA, we had made it all the way to the semi finals. In the last inning we were down by 2 runs, and we were down to our last 2 outs. I came up with 2 men on base. I thought to myself homerun wins it, base hit keeps us alive. I was being pressured from everyone on the entire field, even if they weren't making it obvious. On a 2-0 pitch I hit one of the prettiest hits I'd ever seen it sailed right over the left field fence... Home Run we were going to the finals. One of the very few times I didn't crack under the pier pressure.
