Mount Everest is the tallest mountain in the world. It stands 29,029 feet up. It is the most dangerous mountain to even attempt to climb. There is massive crevasses and icefalls sometimes even an avalanche “Climbing is as close as we can get to flying”. This quote means try your best to reach the top of your goals. Bachendri Pal did exactly this in 1984. Bachendri Pal is in charge of many other expeditions of her own because she owns her own company called national adventure foundation. She…

Lizzie Borden took an axe and gave her mother 40 whacks, when she saw what she had done she gave her mother 41. This case has been studied for over 100 years and is still unsolved. Lizzie was guilty of murdering Abby, her step-mother and Andrew Borden, her father. Although there is little evidence that Lizzie could be innocent, there is much more evidence to show that Lizzie is guilty. To begin with, Lizzie was over dramatic about some things, especially the arguments with Abby and Andrew.…

My paper will talk about Mt. Everest staying open or should they close it. I believe that they should shut it down for a little while. I believe they should shut it down for a little while because there has been like 16 people died there. Since 16 out of 25 people died there they should close it down until they make it safer. That’s some reasons they should close it down for a little while. The mountain is the biggest in the world and people want to climb it. People have the right to climb it…
In early May 1996, two teams of commercial expeditions led by highly experiences climbers attempted to reach the summit of Mount Everest. Out of the 23 mountaineers that attempted the summit, only 18 survived. Of the five that perished, two men, Rob Hall and Scott Fischer, extremely skilled climbing leaders with previous experience reaching the summit, did not make the decent. Since that deadly expedition in 1996, many, including the survivors of that climb, have attempted to explain why the…
Keep Everest open In my opinion I think that we should keep everest open for the following reason. My first reason is that if you were to ask anyone who has done any accomplishment in his/her life you will hear them say that they have a sense of achievement that they felt like they could almost do anything and that when you climb that mountain even if you just go up a few hundred feet you feel like you just beat the odds that you had against yourself and that you rose from your personal “jail”…
Lizzie Borden took an axe And gave her mother forty whacks. When she saw what she had done She gave her father forty-one.This rhyme originates from the case of Lizzie Borden, possibly one of the most famous unsolved cases in American history, involves the grisly murders of Andrew and Abby Borden. The killer was never caught, but many suspect it was the couple’s own daughter, Lizzie Borden. With inconsistent statements, weird behavior, previous attempts of murder, and a clear motive, the evidence…
I have done plenty of challenging things in my life, but a few of those things were harder than others. Like a thirty mile hike. Right now you probably think I’m crazy for hiking up mountains for thirty miles! But I will never forget the experience of the beauty of the Sawtooth mountains and spending time with my grandpa. Also, I will never forget the massiveness of the three ridges we had to climb up. That was definitely not my favorite part of the hike. The hike started out at a lake called…
The Grand Canyon Boulders Taller than the Great Tower of Seville by Garcia Lopez de Cardenas and The Most Sublime Spectacle on Earth by John Wesley Powell are two stories with different opinions of The Grand Canyon. The first story shows how The Grand Canyon can be very annoying and not worth of seeing. The second story shows how The Grand Canyon can be very fascinating; therefore the author has trouble explaining his whole trip. Boulders Taller than the Great Tower of Seville by de Cardenas…
