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 Paragraph**

People around the whole world have a wide range of different beliefs that go from believing in frogs to believing in peace. I have many beliefs that include religion and other things as well. My name is Ribhav Bhagat and I am 12 years old. I am from India. I have beliefs that many people believe in and I have beliefs that I only believe in. I have beliefs that are really unnatural to beliefs that are really strong. I don't have many unnatural beliefs but I have a lot of strong beliefs and here are some.


 * First Belief**

Many people around the world have a variety of different beliefs but one of my main beliefs are that everybody should be equal. No one should be bullied and nobody's rights should be taken away. The way you look or the way you act does not matter, everybody should still be equal. I have come to this belief because as I was growing up I had realized that the rights of many people around the world have been taken away. For example in Bangladesh I see that many people are bossed around and bullied by people in a higher place in society. Looking at this has shown me that people who are very big think that they have all the power to boss anyone around. One person that also help me to develop my belief is Mahatma Ghandi because he fought for the independence and equality for India. I think that the rights of people should not be taken away and someone should act on this. This is my belief and I hope someone would try to make a difference.


 * Second Belief**

Many people have different values and many different beliefs on those values and my value is that their should be peace and no war. In the past there have been many wars between many countries and cultures. For example during the Japanese occupation the Koreans did not like the Japanese because they were being held from their own rights. This is one reason why I think there should be peace. I have established this belief after I had read the book When My Name Was Koeko because after reading it I had realized that people do not feel good when their country is under occupation or they are fighting a war. This belief has encouraged me to do something or to tell someone to help create peace in this world and to stop wars in this world so nobody feels bad when their country is under occupation or they are fighting a war. I don't feel good when I find out that a country is have a war because it makes me feel bad for the people who are there in that country because they may feel bad as well. One way I show this belief is that I don't be mean and fight with other people. This is one of my most strongest beliefs and I believe that sooner or later someone would try to make a change.


 * Third Belief**

My last belief is, which I think many people in world believe in and it is a very strong belief as well, Honesty. I think everybody should be honest in most situations they are in. For example you break something that is not yours you shouldn't leave it their, go tell that person that you broke it. In some situations I believe that people have the right to lie so they can help or save a friend in some way. I have produced this belief when I used to lie because when I used to lie I had realized that whats the point because I am sure that some way a person is going to find out and I will have to suffer some consequences once they found out. This belief has shown in my life because I have stopped to lie and I tell the truth to everyone. I have also stopped to lie because the outcomes of lying are not to good and I don't see the point of it. This is my last and one of my most strongest beliefs and I hope people who don't tell the truth to often should start too.


 * Conclusion Paragraph**

Now that you have been well-infromed about some of my beliefs about equality, peace and honesty I am sure that you are curious on how all this connects to my life and the person I am. I treat everybody the same way and I am not mean to anybody and I don't harm anybody as well. I am very peaceful I don't fight I don't make others feel bad and I always try to get other peoples spirits up when they are down. I am honest to everybody and like I told you before there is no point in lying. Overall these are my main beliefs and I hope to keep them with me throughout my life whatever challenges I face.

This I Believe By Jasmine I strongly agree with her that there should be equality for everybody. I strongly agree with her because equality is one of my main beliefs and I also believe that nobody should be bullied like she was when she was young. She was playing soccer and people made fun of her because she was not very good at it. I also agree with her because I would not like to see some to have different rights then other people in the world.

 * Beliefs Assignment 2**
 * Never Give Up**
 * By Wilson**

I chose this belief because reading the article I realized that this person says that in whatever position you are in never give up. This person has given up before at his school when he was doing bad and he thought he was doing bad because he had a negative attitude. After his mom had gone to a conference and realized that he just gave up she had a talk with him. She told him one simple statement "You cannot achieve if you do not try" and this suddenly inspired him to push himself more and soon he was doing very good at school and his attitude had changed from a negative one to a positive one. I also chose this because even with a little inspiration you would keep trying and and pushing yourself not to give up and this gave me a better understanding of how to never give up.


 * Pre Unit Reflection: Beliefs**

I am a hindu so I believe in god. In my religion we have many gods and I believe in all of them. I believe that every single person on this planet has their own rights. They don't have to be bossed around or be bullied by another person. I believe that everyone on earth should stop polluting our earth and should keep it clean. I believe there should be no war and peace amongst this planet and we should try to keep peace in this planet. I believe that we should make sure everyone is safe and no one gets hurt. These are my personal beliefs.

changes both cultures. ||  || I have learned that if a country is under an occupation it can change both cultures in many ways like the food they eat, their customs and religion. In many places this has happened for example chapati's were not only made and eaten in India but also in Bangladesh. This tells me that they have interacted before and shared ideas. I learned this from the book When My Name Was Keoko. ||  || Chapati's are not only made in India they are also eaten in Bangladesh. This tells me that these two cultures have interacted and have shared the ideas of making food. || cultures come into contact. ||  || I have learned that trade can be used to interact cultures. When trading, cultures trade goods and ideas, which then get spread to the rest of the people in that culture and maybe to other cultures as well. I have learned that war can also be used to interact cultures. When the Japanese occupied Korea many parts of both cultures have changed such as their food, customs and many other parts of their culture. ||  || While reading When My Name Was Keoko the same thing had happened when the Japanese had occupied Korea both cultures changed. They changed in many ways such as the food they eat and their customs changed as well. || cultures? ||  || People can identify another persons culture by looking at the way they dress, what they eat, the language they speak, their religion and many other things. ||  || People can identify my culture by my religion because I go to the temple with my family. They can also identify my culture by what I eat because I usually eat what I usually eat at home. || take place? ||  || Cultural diffusion takes place when one culture spread to another culture or country. As the different parts of cultures spread it may have influenced other people to interact with the people from another culture to share ideas and knowledge. ||  || If my grandparents did not move during the partition my culture would be so much more different than my culture now. The food I eat, the way I dress and my customs would be different now. || of diffusion? ||  || In the past the Spaniards had come to mexico and had brought all of their own stuff to share with the mexicans. They had brought their horses, cattle and their sheep's. The horses rapidly spread around in mexico and had been used for transportation. Soon all of the things the Spaniards had brought had become a part of the mexican culture. ||  || The Korean restaurant served Japanese soup. o this tells me that during the occupation food changed in Korea and was not changed back. So even now in the present day Korean restaurants still serve Japanese soup. || interact in positive, neutral, and negative ways? ||  || People interact in positive ways when they trade ideas and goods. They go from one culture to another sharing and trading ideas and goods. They interact in neutral ways when there is no conflict between both cultures but they do not trade or share ideas. When cultures interact in negative ways they usually have a war between each other. This is what happened in the book When My Name was Keoko when they had a war and many parts of the Korean culture changed. ||  || When we were doing the silk road activity we were performing positive way of interacting when we were going to the other countries to trade and we were trading peacefully. ||

I have had many connections from the past to my life now from the Hominids, the city-states in sumer and the Mayan civilization. The connections between my life now and the Hominids are that right now I speak a language and thats what the hominids came up with. The other connection is that I walk on two feet like the hominids had started to do. The city-states in Sumer connect to my life today because they created societies and I live in a society now in a neighborhood. The Mayan civilization connects to my life today because they have created the calendar so now I can keep track of what day I am in. There are many connections that have occurred from the past to my life now.

__Welcome to Middle School Assignment 2__

1. What did you enjoy most about making the cube? I most enjoyed when I learnt how to use all the technology and I liked when I made all the sides because it was fun. 2. What was the most difficult part about making the cube? The most difficult part of the cube was pasting all the pages and making the cube. 3. What would you do differently if you were to do a similar project again? If there was a similar project I would make the pages the same size as the cube and I would use only one material to paste things. 4. Which life skill (time management, independence, organization, etc.) do you think you practiced while you made this cube? **Explain** how you practiced it.

I think I practiced being organized and independent because I did a lot of the cube at home and I worked on my organization by being very organized with my things and my supplies.


 * __<range type="comment" id="379360308_2">Assignment 1 Flight Simulation</range id="379360308_2">__**

= =
 * 1) Did you feel like you were in a race? Why or why not? I felt like I was in a race sometimes but sometimes I didn't. I felt like when we in a race when we all started and I thought we wouldn't win and my mind was rushing. When we had started to take the lead I didn't feel like it was a race because we would just hand our things in and then we would fly so then that made me thing that there is nothing to worry about. I also felt like it when my team and another team were both about to land at our final destination and that was the most part I felt like it was a race.
 * 2) Did you and other team members agree on what to do? Why or why not? Give an example of one agreement or disagreement. We usually agreed on everything but we had one disagreement on what city to go to next but we had solved that problem really fast. When we had decided we went on to our next city on which we chose on.
 * 3) What parts of the flight activity were the most challenging? Why? I thought the most challenging part was the dairy entry because we had to put in a lot of imagination to get extra miles and that made it even more tense to because we had to make it good. It was also pretty challenging because you had to think of many different kinds of names for hotels and restaurants.
 * 4) If you were going to do a similar team activity again, what would you change? I think we could have picked our own teams so we could pick people we could work well with without getting distracted.
 * 5) Name two life skills (e.g. teamwork, problem solving, time management, independence, organization, communication, etc. ) you worked on during this flight simulation. For **each** life skill you chose, give an example of how you worked on it during your flight simulation experience. I showed time management because when other people are doing other things I am not just wasting my time when my team is relying on me to do something. When my other team members are doing something for there downtime I start to write the dairy entry in class so when they get home they can straight away check it. I also showed organization because when we had started to work in our bases I would always clean up the desk nicely so we could have space to put our own things. One day the table was really messy so I cleaned it up and then we had a lot of space to work without anybody else's papers hanging around.
