Collage of everest.

I made a collage to represent the tone of the essay we read, Everest.

The pictures in the collage represent success, perserverance, and accomplishment, which i think were some of the tones in the story. I also thought the story had tones of teamwork and patience.

i hate insects :(

I am not fascinated by either species. All spiders creep me out. Tarantulas give some people the creeps because of their large, hairy bodies and legs. The South American bird-eating spider, as it name suggests, is even able to prey upon small birds. Wasps also creep me out. Such a wasp will paralyze a tarantula with its sting and lay its eggs on the spider's body.

Erik Weihenmayer is an inspiration.

I think that Erik Weihenmayer is an inspiration. I think this because he is the first blind man that climbed Mount Everest. Although people think that it shouldn't matter whether he was blind or not, it does matter. He showed the world that you can do anything you want as long as you have the courage and perserverance. I'm sure he was scared at first but he stuck through it to prove to people that he could. This is what makes him an inspiration.
