My Vacation

My vacation is going well. I earned 50 bucks these past weeks. For cleaning up my brother house and feeding his dogs becaues he was away for a week. I've been reading Christopher Pike books but I still wish it was a AR book. My vacation has been boring I wish i'm at school. I've been talking to friends on the internet. Well, that is all I have to say.

On top Of The World.

In the story "On Top Of The World" Hillary and Norgay faced many obstacles.

Hillary and Norgay faced many obstacles by 40 foot rock they couldn't get over it. Then they found a crack and they wedged in. Other obstacles they had encounter was the cold. They wore boots with insulation to protect them from the cold helped each other when Hillary' s oxygen tank was full of ice helped him by taking out the ice. They had no more food left but they kept going.

Hillary and Norgay faced 40 foot rock,the cold,no more food,and teamwork those obstacles in Mount Everest.

Early Man

In chapter 1, I learned many things about early man.

I learned that Eugene dubious discovered a Homo Erectus and that he found it in Asia.Raymond Dart found a austolopithocine in South Africa.Lous and Mary Leaky found Homo Habilis "Handy Person" The age was 2 million years ago.I learned a lot of vocabulary like Excavate,Migration,Tundra,Domesticate,Agriculture,Etc.The first Domesticated animal was a dog.Jericho is the oldest walled village and that they had made that wall for protection.Every state grew something different.

For what I know about early man i don't want to be one.

Mr.Ferreirae

Mr.Ferreirae is my teacher. He's funny and nice. He's also smart. I know he traveled to England I know because of his blog. He's sometimes unpredictable but most of the time I think he's predictable hahaha. Well that all I have to say

Miyax

What characteristics helped Miyax survived.

In the story "Amaraq The Wolf" Miyax was able to survive because she was intelligent.

intelligent thing she did was that when she was lost and hungry she went to the Amaraq (the wolf). She didn't just run up to him and scream or started talking to him.

Also the next intelligent thing she did was that she studied them. So when she ask for stuff she can use wolf language.

Finally the last intelligent thing she did was built her own little shelter. Between the rock she put mud through there so when it's cold so the wind can't go through.

How did Brian demostrate perseverance?

In the story"Fire Builder" Brian showed perseverance in many ways in his struggle to survive.

One way Brian persevered was when a porcupine had put its quills in him.He didn't just let it stay there he took them out.The author had said "having only 8 quills in you feeling like have a thousand needles poked into you.!He also persevered by colecting food (wild berries). Instead of saying i'm not going to do anything and just sit here.A diffrent challenge was that he struggle to make fire. When he almost does it will be a failure but he kept going and never stopped.Even when he failed he kept going.Brian survived because he took allthe quills out of him,made fire and found food for himself. Those are someways that i thought Brian persevered.
