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.
 * 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.

=Beliefs Podcast= =media type="file" key="Tyler Beliefs.m4v" width="300" height="300"=

=Intro= People have beliefs around the world about religion, skill, empathy, love, and self-control. Hi, my name is Tyler and I'm 11 years old. My nationality is American and I come from Mississippi. My beliefs are focused on being independent, treating everyone equally, and being kind. F irst i will come with being independent then treating everyone equally and last, being kind.

=Belief Draft #1= One personal belief that I have but don't share too much is the importance of being independent. Parents always tell you to hold his/her hand, and also they will tell you what to do. That is good when you are little but it is very important to start thinking for yourself and making some decisions when you are young. When I was young I wanted to save some money so I could buy something for myself. My dad encouraged me to do so. When I was 5 years old, I saved a lot of money to buy a mini laptop that I could use for myself. It took me two years to save up but I did it and I bought my very own laptop. I have this belief because I want to be more mature and more responsible in my life. Being independent is not bad, however you still need to take advice and learn from others. Independent means to be free and I would rather be independent than be dependent on my parents all the time. Independence could prepare you for a mature life, for example: if you can't be independent, you'll have to ask help from everyone you see. I have this belief because some people around the world won't be self-reliant. Being independent brings some accomplishments in life. This I believe in.

**Belief Draft #2** One of my personal beliefs is that we all should treat people equally. People around the world treat each other like in another way, Racism is one example of not treating people equally. In the late 1960s people from the south of the United States were very racist with black color. Blacks didn't have the same rights as the whites for example: Black people could not go to hotels, they always had to be at the back of the line, etc. This belief inspired me because of Abraham Lincoln, he liberated slaves from all over the USA and gave them rights. Today you could see a lot of people from every race coming together and rejoicing for the freedom they got from that president.

=Belief Draft #3= Being kind isn't always about being nice to people. It also brings happiness to the world. Kindness would change everything if there wasn't war. People leave their comfort zone to introduce themselves to another person, friends for example. In Rachel's challenge she had a friend who was hated by everyone and did drugs. Everyday she told hi to her. When Rachel died from the shooting, her friend gave up drugs and started a new life. This could be the answer to our life. This we could do no matter what. I do this belief everyday, it inspires me because I see kids playing together and its beautiful to watch.

=Closing Paragraph= These are all the beliefs I'm sharing and I'm putting this to an end. Independence could bring accomplishments, treating people equally makes us stronger, and being kind could bring peace to the world. I do all these beliefs and explains my personality, this has been a wonderful time thinking about all the changes we could make. All my beliefs could make a difference to all of us, think about everything you think is fair including these beliefs. This I believe in.

=The Triumph of Kindness=

Josh Stein believes that when people come together its a beautiful thing. He chose this belief because his brother was disabled and couldn't do any activities. One sunny day, he had a Little League Baseball game. It was the end of the game and the coach sent him back in the bleachers and chose his brother who was disabled to bat. A 7 year old pitched and he batted whixh he sored, his father had to carry him to run.

=Personal Beliefs= One of my beliefs is I believe we can make peace instead of war. Everyday people go through struggle with war striving for survival and for food. I also believe people should enjoy nature much more than technology, because of the benefits of technology it could result as nature could be destroyed. I believe God is in everything, he is everywhere we go and he's in our heart.

=Rise of Civilization Unit Reflection=

We had many connections to the modern world. we had two early men that made artifacts such as the knife, spear made out of obsidian and art tools. We still use the knife today to cut meat. The Mayan civilization made the calendar, ax made out of stones and the obsidian blades. They created a game called Pok-a-tok, which you have to score in a hoop. Our connection is that in basketball we also score on a hoop and the only thing that some farmers use is the ax. They upgraded the ax to metal so it could be sharp to cut trees.
