 * The one good thing I could see was that the water was so shallow where the Narwhal went down that, once I broke clear of the ship, I didn't have far to go to reach the surface. **

It was long enough, though. By the time I broke the surface, I had almost given up hope, but I found myself in the air and took a huge, gulping gasp. I splashed around, happy just to be alive. That's when the hand reached down and grabbed me. Before I had a chance to think, I had been hauled into a small boat and dumped there like a load of fish. I opened my eyes and was surprised--and happy--to see Jeremy staring down at me. "You made it," he said. I nodded. "Did you get the map?" he asked. I sat up, outraged. "Is that all you can think about?" I demanded. "No. Of course not. But did you get it?" I pulled the map, now waterlogged, from the folds of my shirt and tossed it to the floor of the boat. Jeremy looked visibly relieved.
 * " ** Are you all right?" he asked. "I--I think so," I said. "What happened to...uh, to Diablo?"

I shrugged. "I don't know. I didn't see him." There was a pause.

Introduction I am like other ordinary kids but my thought processes are completely different from others perspective and pretty much exceptional unlike other. My name is Oindrilla and I have just turned 12. I belong to India. I love exploring everything starting from a tiny object to a magnificent one.Habits of unearthing new ideas which connect to what I believe in or what my conscience says. My beliefs include love, passion, peace, integrity,determination,equality, freedom and honesty. Out of these, three beliefs which have a greater influence on my life are listed below along with proper explanations.

First belief paragraph I strongly believe in equality. I strongly believe in the matter of fact that there should be equal rights for everyone in our society. People all over the world should be treated fairly irrespective of religion differences or castes. I have grown up seeing that my family members always giving due respect to all sections of people. In some countries, people are still deprived of equal rights and women are not allowed to express their own ideas / opinions. Earlier in India different classes of people were discriminated and were not given enough opportunities. I strongly agree in equality because I think that equality helps people to come close proximity and interact with each other and exchange different ideas. People also get to experience new things. This beliefs make a lot of sense to me and I think that this will go in a long way in my day to day life. Equality plays a major role in keeping aside the cultural barrier in order to establish a healthy society free from discrimination.

Second belief paragraph I believe in freedom of speech. I have a strong opinion about the fact that every citizen in global arena should have independent views on the matter of importance. People should also be allowed to express own ideas and opinions without any fear or interference. I also believe that everyone is entitled to know developments that have taken place or are expected around him or in the society. Most of the people in our world do not have advance knowledge about possible unfolding situation. If this trend goes on, there is every possibility of people being misguided taking advantage of their illiteracy status. In many parts of the world the lower class of society are not given enough opportunities to enrich themselves and are also not allowed to state their personal views. Some parts of the world do not allow the the servants to become an important part of the government's structure. They are also not allowed to case their electoral franchise. I have come across this belief by putting myself in the position of those who are affected by misrule or bad governance. In the event of of any new situation, my efforts are to respect ones views without any prejudice. I think freedom can play a greater role to shape up an individual's life in the right perspective.

Third belief paragraph  I have a firm belief in honesty. According to me, people should always try to speak the truth and be honest under every circumstances. It is much more important to be honest to oneself rather than being honest to someone else. One has to have the courage and true spirit of facing every pressure situations with the same amount of honesty. If someone is honest, everyone will be honest to that person. The holy book of Hindus, the gita says that all the people should be honest in their own path and that is the reason I have developed this belief. In my day to day life I always try my level best to speak the truth even under tough situations. One lie leads to many lies and one truth has the capacity to save one life. So its definitely a better idea to always be honest and not to lie even under tough situations. After all, honesty is the best policy. Conclusion  The beliefs listed above are just three of my strongest beliefs. I hope these beliefs have already made it clear that I am a nice and sympathetic person. I care fot the deprived section or the poor class people of the society. As I have already said I would agin repeat the same thing that I have a firm belief in equality, honesty and freedom. At last I would say that I really care for the betterment of our environment and want the poor section of society to live a better life. ** Assignment #4 - Unit Review ** __** Directions **__

On your wiki page, write a paragraph about your personal beliefs. Choose 3-4 personal beliefs. Religion is one personal belief that is very important to many people. However, it is not the only personal belief. What are some of your personal beliefs? In your paragraph, you may certainly include religion as one of your beliefs, but be sure to include others. Be sure to explain why you have or how you developed each belief. You may also wish to add a few images.

If you're having difficulty thinking of your personal beliefs, take a look at this podcast . For the 100 Day celebration at his school, this __kindergartner__ made a list of 100 things he believes in. His top 30 beliefs are in the podcast. Some are at a kindergarten level, but some are quite interesting.

There are different people in the world with different beliefs. Belief is of two types:cultural belief and personal belief. This paragraph will showcase some religious and personal beliefs of mine. First I will talk about some of my religious belief. It is said in Hinduism that black clothes or any kind of black thing is unlucky for special and auspicious occasions. It is also said that looking at two cuckoos while going out is considered as a sign of luckiness. I believe in these superstitious beliefs because I think these things may help me to have a good day and make my life good. Now I would like to come to my personal beliefs. I believe that there should not be any inequality between two religions. Everyone should be treated fairly irrespective of religion differences. I also believe that the students should have some sort of respect and thankfulness to parents and teachers for all their care, support and the love they have conceded. I believe that God is everywhere and there is an existence of will power in the heart and mind of all the people. The reason for which I believe in these things is that I believe peace, unity , love and care are the key things of life. Though I know, these beliefs are really lame but at some point of time they really have a lot of importance in everyone's life and matter a lot. changes both cultures. ||  || The book 'When my Name Was Keoko' gives a very clear idea about how both the Korean and Japanese cultures changed as they interacted in the form of war.The Japanese compelled the Koreans to do a lot of things including changing their foods, language and a lot more things. ||  || When the Britishers used to rule India, they compelled the Indians to adopt their styles.

Rise of civilization unit

There are a lot of things invented by the early hominids ,the sumerians, and the mayans which are connected to my day to day life. The first and foremost thing that I would like to stress upon is the bricks invented by the early humans with rocks through sustained experiment over the period of time. Bricks are practically connected with our modern life. If early humans would not have invented bricks, living in houses and survival of human beings would have been impossible. The other thing which is equally important is that living in groups invented by the sumerians since living in groups helps us to work together as we know that united we stand and divided we fall. I would also like to highlight some great inventions by the mayans. One of their greatest inventions was the place value system as this has still relevance in our daily life specially its applications in mathematics. Another extremely important inventions of the mayans is the calender as it really helps to keep track of the days, months and the years. It is a fact that life without calender is just unimaginable. I come to the conclusion that the series of creation by our ancestors have not only played an important role in every aspects of our life but impacted in shaping our life appropriately.
