How is the world going to end? By: Kassandra Carrillo
A question has been
burning in everyone’s mind:
how is the world going to end?
Is it really going to end in
2012 as we are all expecting?
Well, most of us anyways.
We know the Mayan
calendar ends on December
21, 2012 but does that mean
our world, too? When asked if
the world is coming to an end
Dustin Sewell said,
“Eventually.”
The world will eventually die out possibly the ice
caps will melt and drown us all
or the sun will die out and all
plant and animal alike will die
too. Maybe it could be from
radiation when our ozone layers vanishes. No one is sure.
There have been
wrong predictions of the world
ending by Harold Camping and
both times he was wrong.
Many people gave up their
L i v i n g
earthly possessions and others made sure they were
with family and close ones.
There have been
earthquakes in Japan lately.
These earthquakes are
caused because of the grinding of plate tectonics against
each other. Not to mention
that the country is on the
Pacific Plate , which is on
the edge of the Pacific Ring
of Fire.
One of the reasons why one
should live under water is
because you can make your
own country. Wouldn’t that be
awesome. There would be

Everyone has their
own opinion whether or not
the world will come to an
end on December 21, 2012.
If you wish to share your
opinions please feel free to
write a letter and drop it in
Mrs. Vela’s class or feel free
to personally hand your letters to the editors.
