Essay Brainstorming

School should be closed when its hotter than 30 degrees:

"Agree"

I agree that school should be close when its hotter than 30 degrees. During class while working, it will be hard to focus while competing against the heat. Sometimes being hot can make you tired, your body won't handle the heat and you would lose ideas. Sometimes people can handle the heat, and they like it, because they could think of many things to do during interval or after school. After all I would still have to agree with my choice, to close school during hot days, I can't focus with work, and I can just melt on the spot.

321 The rocket shoots,

Setting 7 rifts coming from the roof,

Building power to teleport the meteor,

It was too strong it shot to the core.

Fortnite with the black hole,

Staring deep at it to its soul,

Fortnite coming to its finish line,

Let Chapter 2 begin its time.

Memories saved since season 1,

Chapter 2 has now begun,

Map looking ugly as hell,
I really don't know about the game I can't tell.
