Lost in Antarctic: The Doomed Voyage of the Endurance by Tod Olson is a non fiction book that tells the true story of the ill-fated expedition of Sir Ernest Shackleton and his crew on the ship Endurance in 1914. The book follows the incredible journey of the crew as they become stranded in the harsh and unforgiving Antarctic wilderness after their ship gets trapped in ice. Because the ship was trapped, the crew have to walk back home. When they were walking back, they faced many problems. For example, lack of food and other supply.

Here are some notes I took while reading this book.

 

The central Idea I found in the book was “Nothing is more important compared to human life.” I wrote down some evidence to support the central idea below.

 

I also wrote a CER notebook page for the town hall debate.

 

I also wrote the cause in the book and wrote the effects that supports the cause. The effects are all the evidences I found in the book.

 

Lastly, I reread the book because I still had some parts that were confused. And when I finish rereading, I wrote a piece of evidence that I was confused about and below that, I wrote how it further demonstrates the central idea.

 

Conclusion: I recommend you read this book because it tells lots of stuff about the world and I think this is a very fun and very cool book.
