    Asian Carp should be prevented from entering the Great Lakes because they are destroying the ecosystem in that area.

The Asian Carp are also a hazard to boaters, as they are capable of jumping out of the water and knocking into fishermen. They can take over an area quickly and never leave because

    Beginning with the structure and pace. The script opens in 1905 in Jessica’s world. It introduces her as a showgirl. The world feels authentic.
