Shark Finning

Shark finning is where people cut off the fins of a shark and make a soup out of it even tho it has no taste / flavor by people doing this it is making marine life die off quicker because charks are the apex predator of the oceans and the top of the food chain so if they die all the other fish below it on the food chain will die off because the sharks are not helping out with the marine life and for the coral reefs and they keep the ocean healthy.

Why is it a delicacy?

-Shark fin soup is considered a delicacy because a Chinese emperor created it which is known as the golden era in chinese history. This dish was created as a sign of wealth, power, and generosity. 

How is this impacting the ocean?

-Sharks help keep the ocean intact, and keep's the fishes from overpopulating.

starfish poem

 Whats is the main message of this poem:

The main message of this poem is that even if you do a little it can still impact and have an impact on the world. The poem is between the two people and it is about one person trying to save starfish but they couldn't save all on them just a few starfish.

This can be proved by these few lines in the poem:

You can't possibly make a difference!" 

The young man listened politely. 

Then bent down, picked up another starfish 

and threw it into the sea, 

past the breaking waves and said- 

"It made a difference for that one."

This proves that although he couldn't save all of them he could still have an impact. So a little might be all you can do but it may still help out.

Resilience

Growth Mindset:

 people believe that their most basic abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work—brains and talent are just the starting point. This view creates a love of learning and a resilience that is essential for great accomplishment.” ( Dweck, 2015)

Resilience:

even when it's extremely cold in the morning I still get out of my extremely warm bed and want to just stay in my bed until it's warmer.
