shape collage



I did the story Everest. some of the tones that I did were happy, joyful, friendly, tragic, accomplished and more. I would say happy because they were all glad that he made it up to the top of the mountain and he actually returned home safe. Joyful because they were all happy when he made it. Friendly is another tone because all of the people that made it up Everest helped each other. Tragic because the blind guy almost fell when he was going over the ledge. Accomplished obviously because they all made it up the mountain.

prompt 2; disinterest in spiders and digger wasps.

I don't see interest in studying a spider or digger wasp because i don't really like insects at all. I really think that these are gross the fact that they can kill you. Like the digger wasp they can sting but they only sting if they are harmed or feel threatened, but it is not really severe it could kill you but it varies between people. I really don't like tarantulas the fact that they are big and black. They say that tarantulas are completely harmless to people and their mild venom is weaker than typical bees. There are a lot of things that i would hate knowing about these insects, I would not really like seeing any of these insects at all. I hate the fact that 500 to 1,000 tarantulas could come out of one cocoon. I really don't know what i would do if i actually had to study these I probably wouldn't.

Erik Weihenmayer an inspiration?

I find Erik Weihenmayer an inspiration because he made the effort to climb mount everest and he did what he went there to do. He was also blind so I think it would be a lot harder but i thinks its good that he made the effort. I think it's good how all these people would make comments on how "if Erik made it and he is blind then anyone can make it" and he would just ignore it and not really care what people would say about him.
