Interview 2
My topic for my challenge project is the journey that immigrants have to take to come to the United States while enduring physical and mental challenges that come with the journey. For my second interview, I decided to interview an immigrant, who prefers to stay anonymous, that came to the United States from Guatemala. The Immigrants journey to the United States lasted from October 12 to October 20 in 1985. For the Immigrant going throw, Mexico was not easy. The Immigrant crossed the border with the help of coyotes. This immigrant got lost in the mountains, the poachers said to hide in the mountains so that immigration would no find them, in the group that this immigrant was in there were more than 50 people. Once the Immigrant was hiding, this immigrant fell asleep because of the large amount of walking that this Immigrant had to do. Once the Coyotes told the immigrants that it was time to go the Immigrant was still asleep. Once the Immigrant woke up the others in the group where gone. So the Immigrant went to find the Rio Grande. Once they got to the Rio Grande there was no one there. Since the immigrant thought, it would be best to go back to where the immigrant was left behind. The Immigrant found the Coyotes but they did not recognize the Immigrant, so the Immigrant was at gunpoint. All of this happened near Laredo. It was very hot. Once they were in America the had to hide in another mountain for 2-3 days, they didn’t have any food or water until the Coyotes came and brought them a little water and some chicken. They were divided into groups of 20-30 people and put into vans, the immigrants were sitting on top of each other. They left at about 4 pm and arrived at about 10 pm or 11 pm.

Prisoners Design What They Can't Buy- Luke

Luke Kirchner      I chose to read the article "Objects Made by Prisoners in the United States". This was a very interesting article, as it showed what it's like to be in an American prison and how they make some objects. When Prisoners are in prison, the severity of their punishments can vary, but the lack of creative freedom is often detrimental to each prisoner. This lack of freedom can sometimes drive their creativity to make their own objects, showing off individual expression. Some items like pens and toothbrushes were not given in the full form, due to the fear of prisoners turning them into weapons. Instead, the prisoners thought about how they could fix these problems. The article says "The items shown here, made by inmates in the U.S. prison system, illustrate the severity of restrictions imposed on prisoners as well as the human instinct to persevere through creativity and invention" (The Atlantic).      They took the ink cartridge for the pen an

Josey - The Fashion Industries Effect on the Enviroment

           Clothing production around the world has doubed since the year 2000, making the fashion indsutry the second biggest polluter in the world. The impact of the indsutry on the enviroment has always been substantial, but in recent years as it has continued to grow, the impact has grown with it. It is estimated that aproximately every second a truck load of clothing is dumped or burned in a landfill. Not only is this a huge amount of resources, but it is also clothing that could easily be reworn or recycled. This is an extremely wasteful amount and is not only affecting the resources that are used, but also the workers who are being forced to produce materials at extremely fast rates.            Wasting these materials is one of the major ways that this is having an effect on the enviroment but another is the waste that is produced and put into the enviroment. Often when factories produce clothing, once they are done they dump chemicals from the factory into rivers. These chemic

Recovering Ecosystems

Tyler Holland Mr. Roddy IHSS 26 March 2020 Recovering Ecosystems A large challenge for stopping the increasing problems that we face with air pollution and other environmental problems, is that humans are natural control freaks. People try so hard to invent new ways to control the risks that our Earth faces instead of just trying to let nature do its work. Isabella and Charlie, a couple who owned farmland in England, came to the realization that nature solves its own problems, after they had a run in with a feared weed for many farmers. Once they discovered the 'cursed thistle' in their farms they feared the worst as it spread so quickly, but they had decided to let it happen because using pesticides and chemicals was not an option for them. After a while they started to see a flourishing environment in their acres that they had not seen there before, painted lady butterflies flew across the land and after a while caterpillars were crawling all over their 60 acres and ea
