Why Did Fishtank's Collapse?
When Fishtank woke up, it was almost morning. Fishtank didn’t feel well and couldn’t remember anything except for the events of the big blue box and before that. Fishtank also had a hunch that he was farther away from his home now. Anyways, he decided to look around to try to pinpoint where he is, rather than to just sit around and hope for the best. When Fishtank got to where the humongous boxes were, his legs weighed a ton. Fishtank could barely walk and he was about to collapse because his legs couldn’t support him. Immediately, he noticed something that shocked him. Fishtank could see his family and his relatives! He was so overjoyed he almost peed his pants. On top of everything, he was proud of himself for not giving up, or else he might

    It’s my day off; we’ve landed at the island of Tristan D’Acunha. It’s a beautiful island with perfect weather conditions. It felt good to finally be back on dry land. Our ship has run out of food so I volunteered to go look for food. We had men fishing, men hunting, and men looking for food that’s been growing. I was searching for grown food when I came across a spring of fresh water. I knew we were running low on fresh water so I ran back to the ship, brought some help and hauled tons of drinking water to the ship. When we got back the captain had our meal ready, it wasn’t much but at least it was something. All we had was fish to eat but there was plenty enough there to feed the crew. The fish was gray in color with a bunch of black dots on the upper half of the body. Coming down the side of the fish looked to be a reddish almost pink stripe.…

    Emotional Attachments In The Boat By Alistair Macleod

    He fished for a living, to keep his wife happy, but he was never truly a fisherman. He did not enjoy fishing like the rest of his wife’s family did. His skin was not tough enough as “the salt water irritated his skin as it had for sixty years…and his arms, especially the left, broke out into the oozing saltwater boils”. (paragraph 60) The sun and wind took a toll on his body that the others did not experience. To him, the boat held emotions such as pain, despair and struggle. He would rather be inside, reading and learning, but was instead forced to…

    Why Did Rome's Collapse?

    Have you ever wondered what the what the main causes for Rome’s collapse? Multiple Roman historians believe Rome’s declining empire was caused by military weakness, legal justice/lack of trust, followed by political instability. Rome began as a sparsely populated western town in 750 BCE that was rarely known by any large empire such as Greece. Then at it’s height; it expanded, covering most of the Mediterranean, a small part of Africa, Asia, and Europe. After defeating many threats; the Romans began to feel that luxury was a need, not a necessity to the Romans. Rome became lazy and developed soft bellies. They began to neglect multiple social and political problems. People could not trust each other because of the heinous crimes and mysterious…

    A small ripple ran across the surface of the water where he had been. I called out his name, hoping that he had just swam underwater for a second. There wasn't a response.

    What's Killing the Fish?

    Lake Gordon, a large recreational lake is New Jersey, is home to large amounts of fish. However, residents near the lake are starting to notice that unusual amounts of dead fish are appearing on the lake. EPA investigators found that toxic substances were not present in the water, leaking of sewage into the water has caused an increase in the number of aerobic organisms in the sediment of the lake bed along the south shore, and that runoff of detergents and household fertilizers has caused an excess of algae around the south shore. From the data and graphs presented to me on pages 2, 3, and 4, I believe the algae accumulation in the lake is the cause of the dead fish. It could be because the algae are using up vital oxygen sources that the fish need to survive. Table A on page 3 shows the amount of dead fish increase as the number of algae cells increase. This shows that the algae and fish are competing for oxygen, and the fish are losing. Also, oxygen levels in the lake slowly decreased over a 3 day period, as shown by Table B on page 3. This possible algae-fish competition might have contributed to that. Furthermore, the human residences on the lake south shore may contribute to this fish crisis, because the majority of dead fish are amassing near the homes, as shown in Diagram C on page 4. The residents’ runoff of fertilizer and detergent likely caused the algae growth, leading to more dead fish, and also explains why the dead fish are gathering near the south shore. A reasonable solution to this ecological issue would be for the residents to be careful in their detergent/fertilizer usage, and also to create some sort of subterranean barrier between the houses and the lake, so that more pollutants cannot contaminate the lake and create algae via runoff from the residential area. This solution might change my “% Saturation Dissolved Oxygen” graph because with the algae cells reducing in number, there will be less organisms competing for oxygen in the lake,…

    Motivation In Unbroken

    As Louie, Phil, and Mac are stuck in the vast sea, slowly each one's mind is fading away. Louie and Phil are constantly trying to look forward to the future to stay alive, Mac’s life is fading away. Hillenbrand describes each man's outcome, “ Though all three men faced the same hardships, their differing perceptions of it appeared to be shaping their fates. Louie and Phil's optimism, and Mac’s hopelessness, were becoming self-fulfilling” (155). Hillenbrand demonstrates that keeping a positive image on better things more than reality, can slowly but surely keep one going. If Louie stopped believing that he would one day he would get off the raft he would of lost hope long before. The hope he creates in his mind ignites his motivation to never lose faith. With a future to look forward to Louie is able to escape an undesirable fate. Throughout the story Louie's resilience never seems to fade, infact it continues to grow throughout the story. One of Louie's most remarkable moments is when re refuses to back down to the Bird. The bird orders him to hold an iron beam over his head. The weak and fragile Louie holds it, in order to not back down. Hillenbrand describes as Louie struggles to hold up the beam, “ Five more minutes passed, then ten.

    Wilson's Creek: A Short Story

    I was with my dad fishing on a Friday during the summer at about 4:30 PM. The day was hot and bugs were everywhere around us. I had on jeans, a t-shirt and a vest to store any fish we catch. My dad had on the same, but i had a smaller fishing rod than he did because I was small and not really ready for a fishing rod like my dad’s. We went out to fish and started at a bridge that was very rundown and poorly maintained and didn’t catch much because of the current and rocks around where we were. We got one fish to bite but it fell off whenever we pulled it up out of the water. We then decided to move to another spot over by the cliffs and ridges because no one was there to get in the way. For a while we didn’t go anywhere too crazy and nowhere that took too much effort to get to. Little did I know was that it’d all change quicker than I thought..…
