Hope from Surviving

“Lost in the Antarctic” A book by Tod Olson that talks about The Endurance, with 28 men, took off from England in 1914 to explore Antarctica. Half way through the expedition, The Endurance crashed in ice leaving the crew with no food nor water. How do they survive in these harsh, freezing conditions? Reading through the book, I eventually figured out that one theme is working together often helps people survive and overcome challenging situations

I recommend that you read this book because the suspense parts of the book that makes you want to turn the page until you find out the consequences. The crew found ways to entertain and make themselves destress throughout the adventure; find out how they do this.

After reading, I learned that being selfish would not solve any problems to do with natural phenomenon. Rather than having one person pulling a one ton boat, I would have a group of people. In my eyes, I see these men very tough. I should try to find more books about Man vs Nature and learn how they survive.

Fear the Uprising Boxers

With violence and negativity in the actions of the Boxers, they do deserve a bad reputation. The violent horrible Boxers stupidly thought the cause of the drought were catholic churches built in China. The westerners does not deserve the false rumor of the drought. Additionally, thousands of Boxers grouped up and burnt down mission buildings and catholic homes around the whole country. They bombed walls of the French legation, killed two German missionaries at their home, and also killed the Japanese diplomat. These are reasons of Boxers deserve a bad reputation. They hurt China in different ways such as killing people from their country and burning Chinese famous architectures. Violence does not lead to a good and peaceful ending.

Star Magazine :Lysander

Lysander by Jerry

This Magazine is about Lysander, a role played in Shakespear’s MSND. (Mid-Summer Nights Dream) I chose Lysander mainly because of the interesting relationship between Lysander and Demetrius. Lysander to my seems like a gentleman, that’s why I chose this picture. Young man in the picture looks formal.
