Moonshadow and his family want to be with his father but can’t because his father is at a place called “Land of the Golden Mountains’’ with the white demons. Every time he mentions or asks about “Land of the Golden Mountain’’ his mother always makes up a reason to not talk about it. They both are unable to be with Moonshadows father because their “own clans discouraged wives from leaving because it would mean an end to the money the husbands sent home to their families—money which was then spent in the Middle Kingdom”. When this turning point occurs it causes Moonshadow to be even more curious and this could lead to find out why his father is really at the Land of the Golden Mountain. Who would have realized how hard it was for a son to be with his

Turning Points Have you ever had a life-changing experience in your life or a turning point that affected you and/or your community? A turning point is a life-changing experience.

I have learned, after reading this book, that loyalty is something you have to use when it comes to family. Have you ever heard the saying, “When you’re part of a team, you never leave a man behind”? Well it is used all the time in books, speeches, movies, and everyday life. Does anybody really take this phrase into consideration while living their life? In the book, The Island of Blue Dolphins, by Scott O’Dell the main character, Karana, is so loyal to her team (tribe), that she will never be able to leave a man behind. She is especially loyal when it comes to family, when her beloved brother, Ramo, is forgotten. On the island of Blue Dolphins, where the native tribe controls the island, a group of Poachers named the “Aleuts” come and hunt

The voices, all in my head telling me to do this and that. The choice, the pressure it could change my life forever.

Bottlenose Dolphins are a very interesting animal. They have a fusiform (Spindle shaped) body that allows them to move quickly in the water. Because of the Dolphins’ shape they have bilateral symmetry. They also have a dorsal fin, flippers, and a fluke. However, Bottlenose Dolphins do not have ears on the outside of their bodies, hair, or hind limbs. The color of this type of dolphin is usually a light grey color to a black. Their stomach is white and sometimes has a pink hue. One physical adaptation these dolphins have is a telescoped skull. The skull is like this because it allows them to breathe more easily while swimming. Bottlenose Dolphins also have blubber that they use as insulation and vascular shunts that allow them to have cooling for certain types of organs and tissues in their bodies. Finally, Bottlenose Dolphins have sharp teeth that let them grasp onto their prey, so their tongue can push the prey down the dolphin’s throat. Bottlenose Dolphins have a range mass of 260 to 500kg which is 572.69 to 1101.32 in pounds. The average mass of the Bottlenose Dolphin is 400kg. Their average mass in pounds is 881.06.

There’s a definitive line between not having any more Twinkies left in the box so you believe your life is over and something that really changed you in some way or another.

This is where my turning points come into play.
