 * 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.

Beliefs Podcast

media type="custom" key="23063622" HI guys I am Hamzah here is a little about me. I am 11 years old I was born on August 16, 2001. I was born in Bangladesh but I am also from Canada. I have one sister named Faizah she is 6 years old. I am the person I am because I follow my beliefs and be my self not someone else. Something about my beliefs are that I will never believe in anything that disrespects other beliefs. I might disagree but I wont disrespect the belief. Here are my top three beliefs that I feel are the most important to me. I have all kinds of values and beliefs but these are the most important ones. The biggest belief I have is about my religion I believe in Islam. Islam is a monotheistic religion. I have gotten it from my parents because they are also muslim and I was raised to believe in Allah. Everyday I see them pray to Allah and I would see them go to the mosque. Whenever we would go for vacation they would not let me eat pork I was little so I sometimes did not know. The things I do everyday in my life to show I believe in Islam is that I pray when it is the right time to and every friday I go the the mosque. I never insult other religions because it is rude and in the Quran (Islam Holy Book) it says never to insult others religions. I value this belief a lot because I was raised to believe in it and I still do. I cannot explain Allah and give proof but I know he is there and I will always believe in him. My family has always been there for me and made me feel the best, I believe that family comes before anything. I have gotten it from my parents and they are very important to me so they come first in my life. My family has raised me to be the person I am today so I will always remember them and they gave so much care. I have this belief because my family would be there for me they would make me happy when I am sad. The way I show they are important to me is when there is something important for me and something important for my family I would always pick family. Another way is that whenever any one in my family is sad I would cheer them up and let them know I am there for them. I will never let them go and never make them sad I will keep them happy and alive I believe in family and they are the best thing in my life. War is the worst part about the world I wish it was gone and we have a world free of war. I have gotten the belief that war and violence is not the answer, from my friends, family and Gandhi. My friends grandpa was in a war before and he came home alive but damaged and I have learned and seen what it does to people. It takes away homes and it kills many people it takes people apart and makes a lot of blood spill. I show this if anyone hurt my feelings or hits me I will never hit back and never hurt there feelings. If someone is getting bullied I would go in and help but never hit the bully. There are also people that make a fuss about a game and always ends it with violence if they don't win, I always try to cool them down and make them calm. War and violence is not the answer it makes everything horrible for everyone a quote I heard was "A eye for a eye makes everyone blind" to me this is a very strong quote. These are my biggest beliefs that I will always follow. I am the person I am today because of these beliefs and my family. I will always believe in them no matter what, these are the most important beliefs and I will never let them go. Who knows they might even effect you one day. Thank you and I hope that my beliefs affect you in the best way possible.

Thirty things I believe in

This essay is about a 7 year old kid writing 100 things he believes in. He had to shorten it down to 30. There really basic but they are things he believes in. He was Thailand and he raises money and gives it to the poor. His top beliefs are about God, nature and war.

Personal Beliefs

In this paragraph I am going to talk about my beliefs. One of my big beliefs is my religion I am Muslim and I believe in Allah. I got this belief from my parents because they are also Muslim. I believe in being a fair sport and not to cheat I got this belief from my dad and my friend from ISD (International School Dhaka) both of them have always been fair sports and it made all the games I play with them fun. Then I thought I should also always play fair and believe in that. Another thing I believe in is that you should never give up, in games sports or anything I always want to go through and never give up and I got this from my aunt and mom I used to always watch them play tennis even if they were losing very badly they would still keep going and not just give up and I really looked up to that. I believe in peaceful protest and violence is not the answer I developed this from Mahatma Ghandi and Martin Luther King Jr they inspired me because Martin Luther King Jr stopped segregation and Mahatma Ghandi led India to independence and they both did it by peaceful protest.

Rise of Civilization Unit Reflection

Making Connections

Thinking about everything you have learned in this unit (the development of hominids to modern man, struggle/adaptation, change from hunter/gatherer to farming/permanent settlements, development of city-states, and the characteristics of civilizations) how is your life affected by the past? Write a paragraph making at least 4 connections in your life today to the past.


 * Your connections should include different areas of the unit with at least one connection to the civilization you researched (for example, two from hominids/early man, one from characteristics of Sumer/city-states, one from your civilization).
 * Your paragraph should be a minimum of 5-7 sentences.
 * Your paragraph should include a topic sentence and closing sentence.
 * All sentences should be complete sentences using proper sentence punctuation.

Paragraph

I have some connections about my everyday life and the unit. My first connection is about math, math is used in our everyday life such as going to a sale or arranging a party with friends, and math was created by ancient greeks. Another connection is tools cause the hominid Homo habils also know as handy man made used stones as tools and we use tools in our everyday life such as hammers or screwdrivers to fix things or to break something. The third connection I have is teamwork and communication we use this in our everyday lives like if we are playing a game a sport. My last connection is writing the Sumerians created it we use writing in our everyday life like when we have a sale, keep track of inventory or write a story or legend. These are my 4 connections about this unit.

 * = __**Chapters**__ ||  ||= __**One or Two Sentence**__
 * = **1** ||  || Tao forgot the rabbit and had to hunt for another one. ||   || **taboo,** page 15: something in a culture that is not allowed or unacceptable ||   || **"lumbering shapes of the mountains-that-walk, the mammoths"**, page 16: This phrase gives me a very clear image in my mind of the true size of the mammoths ||   || This was a good introduction to Tao and his desire to be a cave painter and how he is questioning the taboo. ||
 * = **2** ||  || Tao took a bone out of the wolfs mouth. he went into the cave and heard a wired sound ||   || **kestrel,** page 31 a small falcon ||   || "He set them and threw on more sticks and logs until the yellow tongues of flame licked high into the darkness" page 25 this phrase gives me a image in my head of the fire glowing really nicely. This is a personification because humans have tongues and flames are not alive. Also it says that the flame licked and liking is something that humans do. ||   || A connection I once got lost in a huge mall and Tao is all alone in the woods until he finds a rabbit. ||
 * = **3 & 4** ||  || Tao finds a lot of rabbits so he can go back yo his clan. Every one was pleased with Tao because everyone thinks he is becoming a really good hunter. ||   || **Fiendish,** page 35 cruel or unpleasant ||   || **"He moistened his lips with the tip of his tongue and clutched his spear tightly, a knot of fear in the pit of his stomach."** page 36 because I can imagine how hard he is holding his spear and how badly scared he was ||   || A reaction was i was really really happy when Tao found the rabbits so he can go back to his clan and stay alive. ||

 * = **7 & 8** ||  || Graybeard saw his drawing and got really angry because that is a really big and bad Taboo. Graybeard also tells Tao why wolf dogs are taboo ||   || **Omen.** page 69 an event regarded as a portent of good or evil ||   || **"he blew on the live ember from the old fire and soon had the flames dancing again." page 79** This is very descriptive to me because the author did not say he blew on the flames until it was fire again but instead of saying fire she used ember and said the fire was waving. ||   || My reaction was when Gray beard went really angry because i was scared what he would do to tao and maybe even hurt tao ||
 * = **9 & 10** ||  || Graybeard said he will teach Tao how to do magic. After a while ram attacked mammoths and then one of the mammoths saw Tao and hurt him really bad ||   || **Sentinel** page 83, a soldier or guard whose job is to stand and keep watch. ||   || "**He cringed at the sight of the flashing white horns and saw the angry fire burning in the dark, piercing eyes."** page 84 This is descriptive because i could imagine the horns really white and shiny and the rage in the eyes. ||   || The reaction i had was when the mammoths attacked and tao got hurt i thought something really bad will happen and tao got hurt really badly ||
 * = **11 & 12** ||  || Graybeard is teaching Tao how to draw really good. Graybeard is also teaching how to paint also how to get paint and how to draw a herd of animals. ||   || **Poultice** page 99,
 * = **13 & 14** ||  || Volt spotted Ram hunting and Tao went to save Ram and then the hunters chased them until they went into the mountain tribes land. Then he saw the shaman was there so he went to talk to him and the shaman said that tao will be the next shaman. ||   || **ptarmigan Page 115**

a northern grouse of mountainous ||  || "The bushes and trees became a blur of green the ground sped away beneath him." **page 119** I could imagine how fast tao is going that he could only see green because of his speed. This Phrase is just really descriptive because ||  || I felt really happy because Tao is going to become a shaman because Graybeard is sick and might die so Graybeard told Tao he will become the next Shaman ||
 * = **15 & 16** ||  || Tao went to the secret cavern as Graybeard told him to and started painting after a while Volt and the others go there and see Tao and they all get angry cause they don't know Graybeard told Tao to paint then they tie him up and he is going to have to fight the Saxon ||   || **eerie**
 * page 134**

strange and frightening ||  || **"long rows of hairy mammoths marched across the cavern wall" Page 138** I could see in my head the picture is really amazing so it looks like the mammoths are marching because he drew the motion really well ||   || I felt scared because they found Tao in the secret cavern and they wanted to kill him so he has to fight a Saxon if he lives then he is allowed to live. ||
