http://surfridersmc.org/pdf/pwcfaq.pdf 1.PWC have a shallow draft and can be easily driven into areas not accessible by larger boats these areas are often where birds have built their nests. This is important because this disturbance can lead to loss of habitat for many species. 2.Many migratory birds are easily stressed and especially vulnerable during their migration period. Birds will typically fly away from disturbing noises and any unnecessary use of energy can harm a feeding or resting bird. 3. Birds are especially vulnerable to noise from boats, including personal watercraft. Nesting birds may fly from the nest exposing unprotected eggs and hatchlings to the sun's heat or predators.

Personal water craft can range from a canoe to a 50 foot long boat, but all of them can have a negative effect on birds. These vessels can damage bird sanctuaries by disturbing birds who are nesting and feeding. Although the effect of the disturbance can differ depending upon the size and species of the bird, the birds are often forced to abandon their nests, and this can affect their breeding ("What we" 2). The birds leave their nest and their eggs can be destroyed by predators or the heat of the sun. (source 10). Migrating birds who are resting are also adversely affected because they have to use much-needed energy when they are frightened by these vessels. This is important because often endangered species of birds are protected in the sanctuaries and any disturbance can be an added threat to their survival. This also means that when birds take off from their nests, that the newborn birds are left behind and that puts them in danger.

What I would do is talk to him and make him relize what he is doing to himself by doing drugs, I would not be able to just sit around and watch a good person get turned into a low-life.Iwould do whatever it took to make him stop even if it meant bringing in the law.

Throughout times stories have been told about heros and their journeys. From generation to generation these myths have been passed down, retold, and mislead. In the story Beowulf, there had been troubles throughout the lands and that caused a great loss. After great sorrrow, a young man came to save the day. This was a young hero of this time, same a Beowulf, named Inidana Jones. In the epic story, told of Beowulf, trouble has been overtaken in Denmark, from a monster named Grendel. Beowulf hears of the terror that has taken place, and travels great distances to try and help. After getting approval by King Hrothgar, he goes to fight the evil monster. Beowulf was able to unarmingly take down Grendel, proving his strength. Indiana Jones was young man who never gave up. He had a strong desire to explore and search for missing artifacts. Jones was well known for his determination and heroic ability to save people and free them from torture. Both stories are betold of two apic heros. One is particular fought and took on monsters, while the other hero took on journeys. Beowulf was the type of hero that was well known for his strength and attitude towards evil. On the other hand, Indiana Jones was better known for his determination and courage on chasing his dreams and helping others out. Epic stories were told to give present day readers a better understanding on histories heros. Many were told and were proven to be true. For the heros of those times, the most historical and greatest, were Beowulf and Indiana Jones. The two were known for all their great accoplishments and hero duties, that each undertook. Those heros will always be rememberd and praised for their help.

Chris: your paper was to compare Beowulf and Indiana Jones and show how they both fit the characteristics of an epic hero. You don't mention epic hero. I gave you the characteristics that you were to use for comparison. Some of your sentences don't make sense. You need to read what you write. A good suggestion is to read it aloud so you can see when you leave out words. You don't have any paragraph indentations. Much of your Beowulf information is just summary of the story. You make it sound like Indiana Jones had no one to fight. In the movie, he was going against the Nazi Army to save the most important religious relic in the world. The Ark of the Covenant is said to make any army invincible (unbeatable). Think what would have happened had the Nazis had that. Grade C
