What Kind Of Language Do I Use When Writing A Story For Children Between The Ages 7-11?

From Homework Help Forum:

What kind of language do I use when writing a story for children between the ages 7-11? For my assessment, I have to write a book aimed for kids between 7-11. I really don't know how to write kids books. What sort of language do I use?

Answer: Don't try to "aim" your vocabulary or style at any specific age group. The best writing for children is the same as good writing for anyone. It is even fine to use a word here and there that few people 7-11 could be expected to understand. The tone is critical. At all costs, avoid a cute, coy, arch, or condescending tone. Like everyone else, kids hate being talked down to. > The story's subject matter distinguishes literature aimed at children more than language does. Choose a plot that is of interest to the realities of the lives of children that age -- peers, friends, siblings, parents, school, sports, etc. Fantasy and science fiction are always popular too. > Let the main character be the active agent of the plot -- not merely the passive recipient of external forces. For example, it is better to show the child cautiously entering a flying saucer -- rather than being vacuumed up into it outside of her control. > Wit and humor are vastly appreciated at that age, as well as mild transgressions (such as getting gleefully covered in mud.) > Avoid heart-wrenching plot developments such as the death of a beloved pet. > While children can be represented as making adults "happy" or "sad," they should not be depicted as being necessary for the well-being of adults (rescuing someone from homelessness, for example.) > Avoid topics that may produce too much anxiety in children whose data base about the world is too small to let them be realistic. Fears of illness, death, loss of parents or other loved ones, becoming the victim of an accident or a crime, etc. should not be stirred up.

When Is 7-11 Going To Introduce A Bur pee Machine?

From Beer, Wine & Spirits Forum:

When is 7-11 going to introduce a Bur pee machine? Did you ever stick a can of beer in the freezer for around an hour? It's still carbonated, but it's thick with ice crystals. A lot of 7-11 stores sell beer, so why don't they either get a license to serve Bur pees or license the technology to bars? Am I the only person to think of this?

Answer: I think you should patent and market the idea yourself and then sell it to 7-11 or another store. I don't drink beer but the sounds of that makes me want to.

What Is The Spending Limit In 7-11 For A 14 Year Old Boy?

From Small Business Forum:

What is the spending limit in 7-11 for a 14 year old boy? I want to buy something in 7-11 and all together it will be 80 dollars. Do they care that a 14 yr old boy would have that much money or would they call the cops?

Answer: I disagree with my peers. signing a written document is one kind of contract, and buying things from anyone is another type of contract. IF you came to a store and bought more than a few $ worth of anything, I would ask to call your parents for permission; because you can bring stuff back and demand cash back.

How Much Profit Can You Make From Owning A 7-11 Store?

From Investing Forum:

How much profit can you make from owning a 7-11 store? My general question is how much net profit will you make annually if you own a 7-11, what does it take to become a owner of a 7-11, gas-station, or a coin laundry store?

Answer: 7-11 stores are all company owned and operated. You can not own one. You might think the profit margin is good, however the markup on the types of items they sell is small. They rely on volume and higher cost for convenience. You would probably make more money being a management employee than gambling in this business.

Does Anyone Know The Phone Number For 7-11 Corporate Offices In Colorado--I Need To Make A Complaint?

From Other - Business & Finance Forum:

Does anyone know the phone number for 7-11 corporate offices in Colorado--I need to make a complaint? The manager at the 7-11 store I visit every day is really being rude and unprofessional. I've asked several of the employees about it, they all have the same problem with her. None of them has access to the number to make a complaint either. I've even tried calling other stores in the area and am running into the same problem.

Answer: Go to WNW.7-11.com and click on "Contact Us". It will give you a link to their Customer Relations page, where you can submit a complaint on line. It may have a phone # too.

How Many Different Values Can Be Obtained With The Expression 1÷2÷3÷5÷7÷11?

From Mathematics Forum:

How many different values can be obtained with the expression 1÷2÷3÷5÷7÷11? I'm stuck on that problem. I know they're prime numbers, but I can't seem to figure it out. Any help please? Full question: How many different values can be obtained with the expression 1÷2÷3÷5÷7÷11 if an unlimited number of parentheses may be placed in the expression?

Answer: Only one correct answer. They are to be done left to right. By adding parentheses, variations are possible. Suppose there are n numbers in the division string. Then there are (n-1)! ways. Here that gives 24. Sorry, it is harder than this. Some of these turn out to be the same. So at most 24. I actually think it is the Bell numbers, but can't tell that each is different in value.

How Do I Go About Filming A Scene At 7-11?

From Other - Visual Arts Forum:

How do I go about filming a scene at 7-11? I'm trying to make a short film and one of the scenes takes place in front of a 7-11 (Not inside).Do I have to talk to the manager or contact the corporation itself and would it cost alto of money. I'm basically making a slacker comedy and operating on a very low budget around $4000

Answer: You don't need permission to shoot in public. You don't need a permit, unless your activity impedes car or pedestrian traffic. If you are going to shoot outside the 7-11 for a good length of time, you should ask the manager - otherwise they can call the cops for loitering or whatever if they just don't like what you're doing. Just be quick and out of there before anyone knows it, you wouldn't have a problem. You're just shooting outside, you may be on their property but it is still a public area, the most they can do is tell you to leave.
