The Silent Threat talks about plastic pollution and its effect on humans and animals. As more and more plastics go into the ocean, it deeply affects marine animals. Each year there are over 100,000 animals that die because of plastic. We need to take action to stop letting it harm the animals and us.
Continuity and Change
As we won this revolution, many things changed. Land expansion is now possible. Our land expanded to the west and it was much larger than before. England now no longer controls us. We now have our government, and our president, George Washington, the creates leader of all times, who led us to victory and independence. But the more It changed, the more it stayed the same. Slavery still exists in America. There were still wealthy landowners, the poor were still poor. All things are still in charge by those white and rich men.
“The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil constitution, are worth defending against all hazards: And it is our duty to defeat them against all attacks” — Samuel Adams
The American Revolution was a very pivotal event in American history. This revolution helped America to be an independent nation from British rule. In October 1492, America was founded by Christopher Columbus. After in 1763, the British and French fought the Seven Years War with the British gain over America. The revolution began in 1775 with a conflict between the American colonists and the British parliament. At that time the British parliament was taking taxes on sugar, tea, paper, and many other things which the colonists used every day. The colonists then started protesting and caused multiple battles to happen. Now, watch the video below to see more details about the American Revolution. Do you think this Revolution is worth it or not?
The book Unbroken, by Laura Hillenbrand, talks about the true story of Louis Zamperini, an Olympic runner and also a World War II veteran. It tells the journey from his childhood to surviving a plane crash being trapped into the ocean for 47 days and being captured by the Japanese Navy becoming a POW. In the POW camp, he endures incredible hardships, and physical and psychological abuse, and how his perseverance saved him and let him come through this terrible and unbelievable journey.
On this page, I wrote the central idea of the book Unbroken: Belief and faith are very powerful and essential for overcoming challenges and adversity. This is a central idea I saw that runs throughout the book.
On this page of my notebook, I wrote down the theme that I saw reading this book. When facing challenges, you will need the power of resilience and perseverance to overcome them.
In this page, it talks about the causes and effects happening in the book Unbroken. I can see that all the causes and effects are connected to each other. It started with Louis showing his talents in running. A very important cause that changed Louis’s life was when he enlisted in the U.S. Army and became a bombardier where all the bad things started happening to him.
On Day 5, we did a TownHall presentation and did a should statement with evidence. Our should statement was: People should have faith in themself’s regardless of oppression or frustration. We find our evidence on page 114 when Louis was trying to distract Mac and Phil from thinking about the crash.
In conclusion, The book Unbroken takes you through the journey of the extraordinary resilience and determination Louis Zamperini faced and how he overcame it. If you are interested in this topic, go watch the movie or the book for more details!

The found poem above was taken from page 4 of the short story The Bass, the River, and Sheila Mant by W.D. Wetherell. It shows the man versus self conflict between “I”, the protagonist and the antagonist, the bass, and Shelia Mant. In the climax of the story, this conflict shows “I”‘s frustration with choosing from the bass or Shelia. In this passage, “I” comes across as a confused, teenage boy who tries to choose from the the girl he likes, Shelia, and the big bass.”I could see the way her hair curled down off her shoulders, the proud, alert tilt of her head, and all these things were as a tug on my heart. Not just Sheila, but the aura she carried about her of parties and casual touchings and grace. Behind me, I could feel the strain of the bass, steadier now, growing weaker, and this was another tug on my heart” shows the emotion he has in the situation (Wetherell 4). Hopefully this conflict between himself and will have a good way to resolve this conflict.
