Survive in the Antarctic

The Book I read is called Lost in the Antarctic by Tod Olson. The Crew of The Endurance are going to the Antarctic. They want to be the first time of explorers to cross the Antarctic. But they ran into trouble and became trapped. The nearest civilization was more than 1000 miles away, so they had to try and find a way to escape and survive. The central theme of this book is survival.

In chapters, 2-6 people want to go across the Antarctic, but they had many troubles in the way.  sometimes they almost give up but when they think about their family so they stand up and continue walking. this is the key theme in my book because the whole book is talking about 29 Crews being trapped in the Antarctic.

I think people should read this book because it tells an incredible true story of survival against all odds. This book is also good for second language learners as the vocabulary is quite simple and the story exciting.

Lysander CER

In the play, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” written by William Shakespeare, Lysander loves Hermia but he is not allowed to marry her because her father, Egeus forbids it.  Lysander is brave and persuasive, but to Egeus Lysander is cunning. Lysander is brave because he stands up for who he loves, even though he knows Egeus is powerful. For example, he says to Demetrius “you have her father’s love, let me have Hermia’s. Do you marry him?” “And she is mine, and all my right of her I do estate unto Demetrius”. (lines 93-94) To which Egeus says “Scornful Lysander.” (Lines 95-98)

Lysander is Persuasive because he loves Hermia and wants to marry her and another reason is, he would run away with Hermia. Lysander says to Hermia “And to that place,` the sharp Athenian law Cannot pursue us. If thou lovest me then. Steal forth thy father’s house tomorrow night. And in the wood, a league without the town.” (Lines 162 – 165). He convinces Hermia to run away and get married!

Egeus thinks Lysander is cunning because he believes that he stole his daughter’s heart.

Egeus says Lysander, with cunning “has filched my daughter’s heart.” it means Hermia’s father doesn’t want Lysander to stay with who she loves, but Lysander somehow cunning his daughter.

Lysander is a person who is brave and persuasive and he takes the risk and stays with the women he loves and they run together.            (  away with Hermia)
