This story is the true story, but I don't think so. Because Darling and his daughter had a very strong responsibility and unbelievable energy for rescue.

You can find a lot of article about "Grace Darling" in the internet. There are over seventy thousand article at the internet! I think she was a famous heroine at England.

Writing #29: Describe an animal or a beautiful area that is in danger in your country. What is the problem? Is there a way of saving it?

We can know the animals in danger in Japan by reading RED DATA BOOK that is published by Ministry of the Environment. We can read that in below URL. http://www.sizenken.biodic.go.jp/rdb/index.html

The reason of danger is almost development and overhunting. A golden eagle that is one of animals in danger is damaged by the development. For example, a development of ski resort will cut a lot of trees that golden eagle needs. A otter is in danger too, because people have done overhunting. A otter's fur is very beautiful.

To save these animals, when we develop something, we should research animal's life enough. And we have to follow the rule, study the danger of animal's.

How I Met Myself

After reading:Do you believe it is possible to meet your doppelganger?

I don't believe doppelganger, because I have never seen doppelganger yet.

A lot of people say "If you met doppelganger you will die in a few days". I don't know that is true or false. I can't decide that is true or false. In this story it was false. If I can meet doppelganger, I wish help me from danger like this story.

After reading, I thought that doppelganger is in each one's mind. It was very mysterious story, I enjoyed reading.
