How Did Nando Change
Nando Parrado was an average Joe, always went with the flow. He didn't really have any strong leadership skills that is until, his plane, the fairchild, crashed in the Andes mountains. Nando changes drastically from the beginning of the story to the end. He goes from not speaking up to the leader who saves lives, gives hope and encouragement. When his plane first crashed all he could think of was his sister Susy, and how he could keep her alive. Once she died he was lost. He questioned things and thought little of himself as a leader. He always wanted someone else to step up to the plate. He would tell himself he couldn't or wasn't good enough.

    3.5 I encourage children and young people to try and deal with issues and conflict themselves, by mentoring them so that they know right from wrong and are therefore able to make the correct choices. If a situation arises where children disagree then I try to allow them time to discuss their opinions and come to a mutual agreement that is suitable and appropriate to both sides. Making sure that the children have the opportunity to express their emotions using a calm and measured approach. Allowing the children to discuss various ways that they could solve their problem or issue and finding a resolution using the best way forward to do this. One way of getting this message across to children could be by reading a story book that involves a conflict between people but is ultimately resolved with a positive outcome.…

Then their jobs were shutting down so their amount of money was shrinking and shrinking. They would do neighborhood favors and jobs but the amount of money they would get was five dollors. They also had to pay a bill for electricity every month. They had to pay for gas if you had a car and their house. That is why having almost no money affected them a lot.…

    After 1315, this pattern was disturbed. 1315 was the beginning of the first major famine England and western Europe had seen in a long time. Many people who had been living at the bare subsistence level died. Thereafter the population continued to decline, perhaps because peasants began to marry later and limit the size of their families. The great expansion had come to an end. A long recession, in which markets shrank and prices fell, began.…
