Hatchet by Gary Paulsen is a novel about a 13 year old boy named Brian Robeson, who crashes in a small bush plane in remote canadian wilderness and the journey of survival he had to overcome against nature and wildlife.This novel proves how hard times can better a person that overcomes those times.
This race entails a 1,000 plus mile stretch along an unknown trail. Due to its length, tradition, and difficulty, it is known as the “ last great race on earth”. If Libby had just raced and made it through even if she came in dead last she would have survived, but she won showing that she had gone above and beyond thus thriving. The race takes a lot of hard work and training which is exactly what Libby did, she borrowed, raised, and trained her own dogs” these same dogs led her to victory, in the texts libby says”sometimes when a musher can't see do to snow she has to rely on her dogs to know,with them I also felt like I could”(riddles 11). She didn't just do that, but she had enough courage to enter a race three times, knowing that no women had ever won. Although the distance is an unbelievable one of the biggest challenges is the weather. Besides the fact that the woods and mountains of Alaska are subzero, many mushers have experienced fast winds, blizzards, and even rain during the event, and usually, prevail but in 1875 during the Iditarod's a huge blizzard hit and many of the other mushers joined at the ruby ridge(a checkpoint) to wait it out, but Libby made the bold decision to continue. Libby spent days in the arctic cold and even had to give up two dogs who were worn and or injured by the ice. Not only that, but there were times Libby was unable to see where she was going the snow was such a whirlwind. She eventually crossed the finish line, making history and paving the way for many other future female mushers.She was the only musher willing to bare it all she wasn't going to let one blizzard stop her from her dream of winning the last great
People of the 21st century might question what the most pivotal events were during the American Revolution. The Declaration of Independence, which was one of these events was mainly written by Thomas Jefferson but edited by Benjamin Franklin and John Adams. The Declaration of Independence was a celebration of the patriot’s breakaway from the British. Another event happened on Christmas day 1776, when George Washington and his troops crossed the Delaware River with the hopes of capturing the Hessians who were a group that King George III paid to fight or them. With luck on the troop’s side, they captured between 900 and 1,000 prisoners and took over Trenton, New Jersey. And finally, in Valley Forge, PA Washington’s troops went through harsh weather and long hours of training. By June 19th, 1778 the day they left, Washington’s troops were stronger than they were before with the help of General Baron Von Steuben. The most pivotal events in determining the outcome of the American Revolution were Declaration of Independence (June 1776), Washington’s Crossing (December1776), and Valley Forge (1777-1778).
First and foremost I would like to congratulate you on winning the 115th Boston Marathon. It must have been tiring. I would also like to answer why you can’t run forever. The main reason why you can not run forever is that the body needs energy. And when you run you tend to lose that energy, which can be regained. In order to regain energy you have to eat food, which provides macromolecules that gives us energy. There are four types of macromolecules, protein, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids. And in those macromolecules there are monomers(smaller sub units that make up macromolecules). First, protein is made up of amino acids and helps speed up chemical reactions in the body. Second, carbohydrates are made up of monosaccharides(simple sugars) that
In the first paragraph, Highway begins by depicting the image of what Okimasis was experiencing during the race. “Through the rising vapour of a northern Manitoba February, so crisp, so dry, the snow creaked underfoot, the caribou hunter Abraham Okimasis drove his sled and team of eight grey huskies through the orange-rose-tinted dusk.” By giving the readers grimy details like this, Highway pulls the readers and force them to picture the scene and experience the struggles the Okimasis is experiencing. Later on in the passage, Highway continues to depict the okimasis experience “One hundred and fifty miles of low-treed tundra, ice-covered lakes, all blanketed with at least two feet of snow—fifty miles per day—a hundred and fifty miles of freezing temperatures and freezing winds.” In this portion of

One event triggered the next, and the next, and so forth. Though the magnitude and impact for each event varies, the fact that most every event had an impact does not. However, I believe that the five most significant event in early American history were the signing of the Declaration of Independence and Constitution, the Delaware Crossing, the Secession, Fort Sumter, and the fight for abolition in the Civil War. a. There is a reason that we celebrate with fireworks on the Fourth of July. The signing of the Declaration of Independence, and later the Constitution, was a pivotal, foundational moment not only for our own country, but also for the world.
There are many events in American history that are very important, but there are few that have an
During this time period, the United States and Mexico went to war for the land. The Mexicans allowed the Americans stay as long as the followed these rule: they must follow their Catholic Religion, have no slaves working on their land, and they must obey the Mexican rules at all times. The Americans followed this until more and more Americans started to live there and started to break their rules. The Mexicans did not like this at all and they want to make sure they have an agreement on still on this land. Was this the right thing to do or could have the Mexicans do something different? I will be explaining this in the next few paragraphs.
It has taught society’s about what the policy in the 1800s and how much the government struggled to unite as one. How the president would do what he wanted to do, know matter what the supreme court said The Trail of Tears is a lesson on what the government and the society did wrong, and how America or any other country should not repeat it. It is a historical event that is remembered by enough people to make sure that this tragedy won’t happen again. Knowing about the Native Americans journey is knowing about The United States of America, and how much it has grown, since the
I think that the signing of the Declaration of Independents is the most famous and well known events in history. It captures all that they wanted to accomplish as a nation into one, they were declaring their freedom. Through the hard working years, that is all they wanted was freedom from the British and to become their own independent country. The signatures were marking and stating that we are independent and we are all in this together and there is nothing you can do to stop us. I believe that the signing of the Declaration of Independents was the most important event in US history.
The Boston Massacre was an extremely important event in American History. Also, it a very controversial topic. To this day, no one can really give an accurate description of the events that transpired. The Boston Massacre was not a random event at all; many actions led up to the massacre. As a result of this disaster, America was changed forever and sent on a road towards revolution. The Boston Massacre was a defining moment in American history.
The fourth event on my list is the Apollo 11. This was the space shuttle that took us to the moon. This event marked a great day in our history.

This might not be an event you always hear about in history, but it is important all the same.
