I miss you very much. I hope you are ok and that everyone in our family and in the village is alright. I am fine, but I miss you. I wanted to write you a letter to update you on some of the changes that have happened to since I went fishing on that day many months ago. It is January of 1841. Off the shore at Japan and fishermen's are in a boat. After three days of them not catching fish, they are so busy catching that they don't even notice a storm that is coming by them. By the time they notice, it is too late. The boat rudder and sail broke and they lose the rowing oars. Days pass as they drift at sea. The water splashing into the boat has swept away almost all they had managed to catch. They all talk about the barbarians and they talk about their looks and …show more content…
They use a cave for shelter and it isn't very warm inside. They have plenty of birds to eat, but they are all sick of eating raw birds. They don't even have any way to make a fire. Manjiro thinks about the first day they arrived on the island. The boat hit the rocks, capsizing and cracking. After an earthquake, they used the cave as shelter and it was covered with rocks. Goemon, a boy and the same age as Manjiro, talks with Manjiro about how Manjiro can never be a samurai now. Goemon goes on to explain that samurais come from families of samurais, as fishermen come from families of fishermen.When Manjiro wakes up again, he's staring at twelve pairs of shoes. He's on board the John Howland, surrounded by blue eyed, gray eyed, and one eyed sailors. The sailors feed the fishermen and give them new clothes to wear. The sailors teach the fishermen about eating with a fork, how to button their clothes, what shoes are, and what a pocket is in their pants. The fishermen are also taken aback by how nice the rooms in the ship are. Manjiro spends time onboard the ship, he starts to learn the language and the names for various items on the
The book, “Into the Killing Seas,” by Michael Spradlin, is about how World War Two breaks out and two boys named Patrick and Teddy must separate from their parents for safety. They miss their parents so much that they decide to secretly hide in a crate in a ship that takes them back. A companion who helps them, named Benny, privately gives them some supplies and water. Suddenly, the ship, or Indianapolis, is torpedoed by a Japanese submarine and the ship begins to sink. The three make it out alive, but help is far and they are floating on a piece of a crate.
They manage to make it on to a raft with nothing but the clothes on their back, but even though they survived, they are alone in the ocean far from land with no food or water, and worst of all, they are constantly being bombarded by

Hello, are you doing, fine without me? I am doing fine with my new job. Currently we are stopping nearby the island of Hawaii. We came here whaling to restock the supplies and to rebuild our food supplies, because recently we’ve only eaten 2 pieces of crackers.

After his struggle in the storm, Pi wakes up and finds the boat near an island made of mangrove trees. Pi and Richard Parker quickly board the island, devouring the vegetation that grows on the island. They begin to explore the island, and to Pi’s relief, the island is fertile and seems peaceful with many meerkats milling around. Pi praises god for providing him with a place for him to stay, and he makes plans to settle on the island. The island represents god’s miraculous supply in times of need.
Playfully dancing through the waters, bashfully approaching swimmers, clumsily squashing into the glass when taken from their oceanic homes, one can 't help being captivated by the social and charismatic West Indian Manatee. My own fascination with the trichechus manatus, or sea cow, as I like to call it, began in the second grade. It 's difficult to pinpoint the exact moment and cause for this obsession, though something tells me it had a great deal to do with the manatee-shaped mailbox I passed daily on my walk to school, and even more to do with the manatee 's wise eyes, paddle-like flippers and rotund bodies. Could anyone help loving such a gentle beast? I certainly couldn 't!
Sharks are driven to extinction because people want to eat their fins which serves no purpose to humans; shark fins have no nutritional value or serve any medicinal purpose. Finning is the inhumane practice of cutting off all of the shark’s fins and throwing the body back into the ocean. The sharks either drown are eaten by bigger fish or starve to death. Soon sharks are going to become extinct because of the 100 millions of sharks killed every year. If shark finning continues it will throw off the biodiversity of earth.

Introduction In the next half century, it has been estimated that at least 1500 species will be so endangered that their survival will require captive measures, including zoos (Louis P. Cain and Dennis A. Meritt Jr.). Therefore, the survival of the animals will rely solely on the ability of the zoos to provide the proper care. But these conservation efforts will not work unless the enclosure of these animals are able to meet their needs. In a study done by G. B. Hubbard, R. E. Schmidt and K. C. Fletcher, neoplastic disease (tumors on the brain) was evaluated in acquirements from the San Antonio Zoo during a 10-year period.
