From Message Regarding Labor Legislation (March 25, 1908)
by Theodore Roosevelt
I call your attention to certain measures as to which I think there should be action by the Congress before the close of the present session. There is ample time for their consideration. As regards most if not all of the matters, bills have been introduced into one or the other of the two Houses, and it is not too much to hope that action will be taken one way or the other on these bills at the present session. In my message at the opening of the present session, and, indeed, in various messages to previous Congresses, I have repeatedly suggested action on most of these measures.
Child labor should be prohibited throughout the Nation. At least a model child-labor bill should be passed for the District of Columbia. It is unfortunate that in the one place solely dependent upon Congress for its legislation there should be no law whatever to protect children by forbidding or regulating their labor.
I renew my recommendation for the immediate reenactment of an employers' liability law, drawn to conform to the recent decision of the Supreme Court. Within the limits indicated by the court, the law should be made through and comprehensive, and the protection it affords should embrace every class of employee to which the power of the Congress can extend.
In addition to a liability law protecting the employees of common carriers, the Government should show its good faith by enacting a further law giving compensation to its own employees for injury or death incurred1 in its service. It is a reproach to us as a Nation that in both Federal and State legislation we have afforded less protection to public and private employees than any other industrial country of the world.
I also urge that action be taken along the line of the recommendations I have already made concerning injunctions2 in labor disputes. No temporary restraining order should be issued by any court without notice; and the petition for a permanent injunction upon which such temporary restraining order has been issued should be heard by the court issuing the same within a reasonable time—say, not to exceed a week or thereabouts from the date when the order was issued.
1. to bring on oneself
2. bans

A.

Write about a time when you successfully kept a News Year's resolution- or write about why you don't make New Year's resolutions.
Why I Don't Make New Year's Resolutions:
The thing about New Year's resolutions is that it's similar to saying "I'll do it tomorrow". Some people say "hopefully next year I lose weight and exercise", see it sounds like a nice goal, but half the time it's just a method to push doing it farther back. It's not supposed to be a deadline that you extend and I get tired of seeing people do that because that means they won't do it here and now.
If you want to get something done, do it now. Not tomorrow, not the day after, and definitely not next year. If you have the time to dream to do this next year, then why can't you do it now? (This applies to the people that truly have time to make these improvements and meet these goals.)
Sorry if this isn't the best, but I hope this helps.

we discovered that the water level was low due to lack of rain,
meaning that we often had to carry the canoe. We were all wearing flip-
flops, and they kept slipping off and floating downstream, sending us
chasing after them over the rocky river bottom with bare feet. Finally,
we got afloat again. when a bee began buzzing around, my
sister got scared and jumped up, tipping over the boat and sending all
of us, along with our picnic lunch and dry towels, into the water.
Luckily, we all landed on the same sandy bank. Our lunch and towels,

What is a fantasy story?
I have to write a story which includes "fantasy" genre? I think I'm confused about its meaning.
I wrote a story which was of fiction genre but the person who read it said that it was too dreamy, not factual. And then gave me another story to write adding fantasy and giving true facts.
How is fiction different from fantasy?
Answer:
Fiction is a bit difference from fantasy. Fantasy is more on the mystical side with things like magic, supernatural, imagination, etc. While fantasy is fiction, fiction can be a bit more realistic than fantasy fiction. Fiction is based around real events that never happened. Like making up a baseball game that never took place even though baseball is real. Fantasy is more of a imagination thing, like dragons, magic wands, etc.
Ex. of Fantasy: Lord of the Rings or Wonder Woman
Ex. of (Science) Fiction: Godzilla vs Kong or Ready Player One
For this story you need to write, since you said you were being too dreamy, I suggest staying on the thin line between fantasy and realistic events. Think of an event that took place in your life, or someone else's, but change it slightly to how you may like it.
Ex. My brother wouldn't let me eat ice cream when mom wasn't home(Fact) because he said it gave him magic powers and he didn't want the same incident to occur with me(fantasy). So, I'd chase him around the house until my mom got home, stopped him, and let me have some ice cream.(Real ending)
This may not be great and it might to help you at all, but this was just an idea to help you get closer to solving your problem. :)
A fantasy story is an imaginative story that includes supernatural events , mythological creatures , magic , etc. It occurs as a strange story if compared to the normal world i.e there are not such things in normal life or what we know of , for an example we know that witches and wizards don't exist in real world but we (here I am assuming all) love reading harry potter. The Harry Potter series is a work of fantasy.
Now about fiction , so fiction is nothing but a work created from imagination but it may or may not be based on a true story , here am not saying that it is a real story but just can be based on such, fictional stories aren't like the non-fictional stories which are based on actual events and people. Fiction covers all the stories that comes from imagination.
So now how is fiction different from fantasy? As I said above all the imaginary works come under fiction. So Fantasy is a sub-genre of Fiction.
As I have read your story , it's genre comes under science fiction coz of the time travel through the portals. Sci-fi is also a sub-genre of fiction.
Now if I remember correct , the question
went by asking the answerer to write a
'Fictional' story , which you did. From
your question I infer that The person who
read your story said it was not factual (to
that person) that is why it's a fictional
story. Fictional stories don't need facts it's
a work of imagination that is what makes
it a "Fiction".

Some of the spectators and onlookers were so confident, they had pitched their position some distance away from the battlefield to watch the war come to an end with drinks and snacks to entertain themselves.
When it became obvious the Union wasn't going to win as easy a Manfred had predicted, picnickers which included some congressmen were seen scampering for safety along with the fleeing Union soldiers.
