Alaska's Wilderness Save or Drill

Author's Note: In this story we will learn that weather to drill or not to drill in Alaska's Wilderness.
 
I believe that we shouldn’t drill for oil in Alaska’s wilderness, because if we do drill there it will only decrease the foreign oil income by 4%. Also if we do it will destroy the environment. So I believe that we should not drill in Alaska’s Wilderness.

If we decide to drill in Alaska then it will cost billions to move equipment, ship the oil and to pay the workers. Even if it creates jobs then they will have to make more homes in the area for the workers and their families to live. When they are done drilling for oil then it will also take billions to move the materials back to where ever they got them from.

When they start to drill for oil in Alaska, then it will start to destroy their ecosystem. Plus all the animals and other things that live in the wilderness will start to die off; animals like elk, deer, bears, foxes and other animals die or move away because of the pollution. Also then the environment will start to be destroyed and they will lose some of their resources.

It will affect the people of Alaska because it will destroy some of their valuable resource. Some of the resources they will lose will be their water sources and fire wood. Also if people want to go out in the wilderness they can’t because they don’t have one.

Gunslingers Regret


Imagine a boy whose father dies trying to protect his own son. In this story of “The Dark Tower” by Stephen King, a man named Roland Deschain is following in his father’s footsteps by becoming a gunslinger. As he leaves his camp where he is being trained to become a warrior with his hawk, he knows that he needs to leave and find out what happened to his father. In this story the reader will learn about how sometimes things will happen for a reason.

In the town that Roland lives in it is a bad thing to become a gunslinger. He knows that he doesn’t want to become a gunslinger but he wants to get revenge on the man who killed his father. As he is trying to make his decision the man who is keeping watch over him is trying to kill him. That is when he makes his decision to become a gunslinger. This reminds me of when I was little my friend broke my favorite toy and so I was going to get revenge and break his toys.

His mother was never there when he was growing up so when he was growing up all he had was himself.  His childhood was hard because nobody could help if he was behind in school. As he went on through the years he struggled more and got better in school.
I can relate to this because I am having a hard time with school but I am trying my hardest to stay on topic.

In the end I believe that some certain things in life will happen for a reason good or bad. Even though his father died he still was fine.
