You're writing about a correlation between lack of lunches in schools and poor grades. So what? Why does this matter? The reader wants to know why your research is important, and what the purpose of it is. Start off your descriptive abstract by considering the following questions:  Why did you decide to do this study or project? How did you conduct your research? What did you find? Why is this research and your findings important? Why should someone read your entire essay? Abstracts state the “problem” behind your work. Think of this as the specific issue that your research or project addresses. You can sometimes combine the problem with your motivation, but it is best to be clear and separate the two.   What problem is your research trying to better understand or solve? What is the scope of your study - a general problem, or something specific? What is your main claim or argument? Motivation - check. Problem - check. Methods? Now is the part where you give an overview of how you accomplished your study. If you did your own work, include a description of it here. If you reviewed the work of others, it can be briefly explained.  Discuss your own research including the variables and your approach. Describe the evidence you have to support your claim Give an overview of your most important sources. This is where you begin to differentiate your abstract between a descriptive and an informative abstract. In an informative abstract, you will be asked to provide the results of your study. What is it that you found?   What answer did you reach from your research or study? Was your hypothesis or argument supported? What are the general findings? This should finish up your summary and give closure to your abstract. In it, address the meaning of your findings as well as the importance of your overall paper. This format of having a conclusion can be used in both descriptive and informative abstracts, but you will only address the following questions in an informative abstract.  What are the implications of your work? Are your results general or very specific?

This method is much easier to do with an artificial tree as you can disassemble it and get at the “roots” of the branches. However, if you want a more illuminated tree and you have a real tree, it’s possible – it’s just more work. Put all the branches in front of you, categorized by where they go on the tree. You'll be starting with the branches that line the bottom. Putting in only the bottom row makes it easier to line each branch with lights. Start at the base of one branch, wrap up to its tip, and back down to its root. Keep doing this around each branch on the bottom. Make sure the lights stay on the sides of the branch by really nestling them in there, or taking the strand and forming into a loop that you can place around the greens. Make sure the strands are snug on the tree and press them together if need be. The beauty of the artificial tree is that it's totally mold-able. Once every branch on the bottom is lined up and down, assemble the next level of the tree. Then, take your strand and move it up to the next set of branches, weaving back and forth like you just did, up and down, moving around and around. If you notice the lights are coming loose, you can wrap them around the branch, too. However, this takes a bit more of the length of the set, and you may be short at the top (unless you have plenty of lights to spare). As the tree gets smaller and smaller, you’ll need fewer lights. Unless you want it brighter at the top, make sure you’re using the same ratio of lights as you did on the bottom. As the tree gets thinner and thinner, your lighting work will be more and more visible. Take extra time toward the top to make sure your tree is as beautiful as possible. If some branches seem dimmer or brighter than others, adjust the lights as necessary, bringing them out to pop or nestling them in to be a bit dimmer. You may need to adjust the placement of the branches, too – the one obstacle of the artificial tree. Make sure to test your lights in all different forms of lighting. Turn your house lights off and look at the tree; then, turn the house lights on. Experiment with all the settings on your strands if applicable, and take a minute to refine it to your tastes. It'll be worth it – this is the centerpiece of Christmas after all.

One-sentence summary -- If you have an artificial tree, take it apart. Put in the very bottom row of branches and light them up and down on each branch. Assemble the middle of the tree, using the same method. Keep moving up to the top, lighting up and down and back and forth to illuminate the tree. Step back, take a look, and modify as necessary.


Only the player or team that served has the chance to win a point for that round. The other player or team is just trying to prevent the server from winning a point. For example, if you’re the receiver for a round and the server fails to receive the ball when you hit it to them, no one would get a point. Then it would be your turn to serve, and you’d have a chance to score a point. You can only win 1 point at a time in paddleball. Whenever the serving player or team wins a round, they add 1 point to their total score. Whoever reaches 21 points first wins the game. If you want to play another game, both players or teams start at 0 points again.

One-sentence summary -- Add a point to your score only when it was you or your team’s serve. Award 1 point each time the serving player or team wins the round. Play until you or your opponent wins 21 points.


This method is by far the easiest, but is also slightly longer than the other methods. The Taurus Demon will be waiting for you at the bottom of the tower.   It will explode and take a small chunk of health off the beast. Although it may be tempting to throw a second firebomb, usually it will take too much time to throw and the Taurus Demon will quickly kill you, or you'll accidentally fall off the tower, as throwing a firebomb moves you forward slightly. The Taurus Demon will jump onto the tower thinking you're still on it, but if you time it correctly and climb onto the ladder, he will jump back down onto the bridge soon after. It may take a little while, but this method is by far the safest and easiest way for newcomers to the game to defeat the boss.

One-sentence summary --
Use firebombs to kill the Taurus Demon. Run to the first guard tower and climb the ladder to the top. Move to the edge of the tower and look down. Lock on to the Taurus Demon using the right thumb stick on your Xbox 360 controller. Select a firebomb and throw it at the Taurus Demon using the X button of your Xbox 360 controller. Quickly run to the ladder and climb about a third of the way down it. Wait for the Taurus Demon to jump onto the tower and back off again. Climb back up the ladder and repeat the process until you have killed the Taurus Demon.
