skills. All students thinking skills are going to be at different levels, but the way you help them get their thinking skills to where you want them at will all depend on how you build up and not pile it all on them at one day. It is like climbing Mount Everest, some people are going to be able to climb the whole mountain in one day, and some will not be able to achieve all that land in one day, so the others will take it day by day and will figure out a plan to do so. This is just how I want to…

CHAPTER ONE Elephant Droppings Three hours before I vanished, I was in science class constructing a model of Mount Everest from common chemical components. When I finished, I stepped back to admire my creation. It was amazing. It looked like a cross between a glob of taupe foam and elephant droppings that had been patted into shape. It was almost perfect, except for one key ingredient. “You forgot the gray food coloring,” my temporary partner—tall, slender, snooty—Madison Mills snapped. “Oh,” I…

On some weekends, I worked with my father at his part time job. He worked at this plaza for its owner, and sometimes he required assistance, so I decided to willingly work with him at the plaza. When I was there, I would help my father clean and renovate the plaza. For instance, if he was demolishing or taking down something, I would usually pick up the rubble and take it to the odorous trash. If he needed to fix a water leak in one of the suites, I would help him find the source of the leak and…

Without these characteristics, it is nearly impossible to make it to the end. When reading the book Lord of the Flies, one can conclude that the main character, Ralph, is a healthy and strong young boy since the text states, “He looked critically at…

States to space, there was still a fervor to set out, to step foot into the unknown territory of space. John F. Kennedy states in his speech at Rice Stadium in 1962, “Many years ago the great British explorer George Mallory, who was to die on Mount Everest, was asked why did he want to climb it.

higher than they began. The move to the corporate peak can be laden with risks, perils and falls, and even corporate death. Mount Everest is the highest mountain in the world at an altitude of 29,098 ft. However, it is not considered the most difficult to climb. But it is guarded with nature’s defences like the harsh weather at high altitudes and extremely low temperature. Everest base camp is at 18,000 ft, which is higher than any civilized settlement in the world. Above 20,000 ft the body…

In chapter 7, Avoidance, Rendall, wants the reader to understand the importance of their weaknesses to discern and bring out the best their strengths. Rendall begins the chapter with an anecdote about the case of a peanut allergy on a plane and how the airline did not want any passengers on the plane to have peanuts with them. This anecdote introduces and illustrates the purpose of the chapter, in which the author is comparing our weaknesses to be like allergies and advises us to avoid our…

The movie starts off with beautiful scenery of the wonderful Himalaya mountains. The north face of Mount Everest seems so surreal. I can see the Japanese monkey relaxing from the cold weather in the hot spring with a calm and serene face. I tend to forget that there’s more than what appears ahead of us. Even though technology continually keeps us close due to the ability to message people around the world, we tend to forget the culture. Each area seems to be its own bubble and one will not…
