Hannah Roberts conveys her idea of the inevitability of change and the changes individuals go through as they age. Her ideas on having to change and mature as people get older are powerfully expressed throughout “Sky High”. Roberts explores the idea that change is inevitable, and happens as time goes by. The imagery in “It’s an older, more age warped washing line I reach up to now” creates an image of her childhood washing line aged over the years. The washing line can also symbolise Roberts’ youth deteriorating as she transitions into adulthood.

There are many reasons why people take risks even though it is crazy and impossible. For example, in the memoir, “The Other Side of the Sky”, it shows that Farah Ahmedi is climbing a mountain with a prosthetic leg. In the fictional story, “Rikki-tikki-tavi”, in this story the mongoose, Rikki-tikki-tavi takes the risk of going into a snake 's burrow which has a high possibility that he will be killed. In the poem, “The Song of Wandering Aengus”, Aengus goes on a crazy mission that might take his whole life to accomplish which is to find the “glimmering girl” because he is in love with that girl.

Arranged marriage is found in various cultures and countries around the world, including Afghanistan and other parts of the Middle East; having an arranged marriage is thought of as an Afghani tradition and has been a part of life for many families. The practice of arranged marriage has advantages and disadvantages; it can create more family power and give more financial security. Sadly being forced into a marriage can disrupt the independence of the engaged, most women stop their education when they become engaged resulting in many women being illiterate. This makes it impossible for them to be successful without depending on their husbands. Arranged marriage is found in many cultures throughout the modern world, though in a lot of cases it results in a happy family it can also be very limiting on women and often girls are married before they can give consent.

Similar to Rikki-Tikki-Tavi, Farah Ahmedi from the memoir, “The Other of the Sky,” written by Ahmedi herself and Tanim Ansary, wanted to reach freedom and run away from danger in her hometown to protect her family, which consists her mother and herself. The excerpt started by Ahmedi and her mom trying to get into the gates of Pakistan, but the gates were closed. But, they had no more hope of getting into Pakistan, so they decided to camp in the desert, which was near the border gate. Luckily, they camped near a kind and friendly family, who were trying to find a way into Pakistan without the

In the story, Afridi tells her stories from being back at home in Pakistan. She tells about her family and a little bit about her family history. She began reminiscing about her memories in Pakistan. “Mother, Father, Ayah and I are driving to the Kohat Military hospital. I have an ear infection, am burning up with a fever” (Afridi, 49). In this quote, she tells how they were going to the hospital, but while they were going, East Pakistan was about to bomb them. This was a challenging time for her because she was going through a lot of pain from the loud sounds of bombs and shooting. This made her infection worse. At this time everything was going wrong. Not only did she have to deal with her infection and her country going to war,

Farah Ahmedi was a woman who wanted to cross the border into Pakistan from Afghanistan. The story “The Other Side of The Sky,” elaborates on this statement by describing Farah Ahmedi’s life, the author states, “Their only hope was to escape to Pakistan”(para. 3). This quote explains that Farah Ahmedi did not want to leave the country out of her own choice, it was a necessary decision. Her country was war-torn, so she and her mom had no choice. After the very difficult and treacherous journey to cross the border through the mountains on the border, and four years in Pakistan, Farah and her mother were finally chosen to come to America. A quote from an interview with Farah elaborates on this statement by stating, “After four years of hardship [in Pakistan] she and her mother are chosen to come to America.” (authorlink 4). Just because Farah and her mother got out of Afghanistan, didn’t mean that the hardship was over. She had lost all of her family

Farah as written in the book, describes the struggles that she and her mother go through to reaching America and living a happy life. After finding refuge in Pakistan under the harsh rule of the merchant’s family, a shimmer of hope appears for as an organization called World Relief is taking 1,000 Afghanistan refugees back for safe haven in America. Although ideal this sounds amazing and sparks hope for Farah and her mother they soon find out that the many people had the same idea and they barely had of actually making it. With their survival on the line, pressure weighing down on them,taking care of her mother getting through hardships to get the chance to try to be put on the list, Farah

Imagine hammering away at your goal to either succeed in a life goal or face a hardship in life and persevere through it. To demonstrate this, Farah Ahmedi undertook the mission of crossing the Afghanistan border to get to Pakistan in search of a better life. LeBron James persevered though fans full of hatred after he left his home team and joined a new team. Finally, Aengus tackled the expedition of trying to find true love he wanted but never found it. However, two characters had tons of persistence and determination in order to push through a hard time and all of them had the perseverance to try to succeed in their goal.

To undertake a mission means to set a goal for yourself means to set a goal for yourself to accomplish. People are determined and work hard to reach their goals. For example, Farah Ahmedi climbed a mountain on a prosthetic leg to reach freedom. Aengus traveled long and hard to find love. Rikki-Tikki-Tavi was determined on killing the snakes and saving his new family. These characters had different reasons for pursuing their goals and doing what they did. Ahmedi wanted freedom, Rikki-Tikki wanted to protect his new family, and Aengus was set on finding love; however all three shared the determination to accomplish their goal.

Well The Other Side of the Sky starting Farah Ahmedi had to do that. She and her mother had to leave their war torn city to go to Pakistan for a better life. When they arrived, they couldn’t pass the gates because they were close with the guards. The only way people would cross is if they payed the guards and Ahmadi said “ We don’t have the money to pay them, we only have a little to just pay our bus ticket from Peshawar to Quetta.” After the second day passed and she and her mother got into a conversation with a lady about her husband looking for a route cross the border. Later that night her husband came and said “That there is a another route and it is a smugglers route so we’re going at night and we won’t see any smugglers.” The night time came along and Ahmedi and her mom had to cross the border and Ahmedi with her prosthetic leg didn’t bother her at all. This shows you how strong Ahmedi is and how she completed her mission.

Everyone has a different motive that drives them to undertake a personal mission or goal. Some people are driven by fame or power. Others may be driven by the idea of gaining a fortune. There are probably endless reasons to accomplish a mission or goal, but one of the strongest forces that can push someone to achieve their mission is to help save a loved one. For example, Farah Ahmedi was determined to survive unbearable circumstances to help herself and her mother, while Katniss Everdeen and Rikki-Tikki put their lives on the line in order to help save their loved ones. Their determination was so strong and in many cases, their missions led them into risky and dangerous situations. All three characters were willing to take chances, even risk death in order to accomplish their missions and goals.

Latitude can be described as a major determinant of climate, growing conditions, and ease of spread of food production. Throughout the world, every continent lies within one side of the equator. Depending on the location, the continent’s climate may vary. However, those that have the same latitude will share exactly the same day length and seasonal variations. This includes the type of vegetation and area that is available for farming. Only some places around the world though are appropriate for agricultural land. It wouldn’t make sense to grow crops in an area that has extreme weather conditions or is remotely dry without a source for irrigation. Due to countries sharing the same latitude, they
