Outside Reading Q4

Erne by the coast starts off with a young boy named henry and how he is tending to a sick lamb. After he gets the lamb to feel a little better and can live on its own he just goes back to tending to the flock and checking on the lamb. One night as he is putting the sheep away to sleep an eagle comes and takes a lamb away and kills it, but when he tells his father he does not believe him. So to prove to his father that it was an eagle that killed the lamb, he goes to find the eagle and bring it back.

Henry was transformed by the end of the story in ways not only physical but mental. One way he changed is from the scars that will form from the cuts on his body, these also will remind him of his dog dying, but also his triumph against the eagle. Another change is that he will be more confident and also his father will respect him more which will make him feel better about himself. The main cause of these transformations is the fight with the eagle and his dad telling him that the eagle didn't actually come. My big transformation is when I first started using a computer because it made me who I am today and because it got me into video games which is a big part of my life.

My Parents

Besides looks, I am similar to my parents in many ways. With my mom, I share interests in food and in art, as well in some ways with my dad, but mainly I share personal interests and conversation skills with my dad, along with favorite genres. I differ with my mom with some of my political beliefs as well as with my dad, also my sports interests. 

With my dad, I've come to agree with him on many things and also start to enjoy some of the things he creates more and more, but I've also drifted from some of the things I've agreed on with him when I was younger. My mom, on the other hand, I've stayed mostly the same only really changing my feelings with her or what I agree with her on few occasions but I've mostly just started liking more of the things that she like.

Most Important Innovation in Human History

The most important innovation has to be antibiotics. Antibiotics have changed the world by allowing millions of people to have access to medical care and to have a chance to survive illnesses. It is easy to advance and easy to distribute to the world and can be improved on and changed to fight other viruses. It has also lowered the amount of deaths in war by stopping diseases from spreading and by helping people survive infections. It has also brought rise to the medical revolution saving millions of lives.
