"The loss of a large animal like a river dolphin is often a harbinger for what's going on in the larger system as whole. It's not only the loss of a beautiful animal but an indication that the way its habitat is being managed, the way we're interacting with the natural environment of the river is deeply flawed ... if a species like this can't survive." Randall Reeves, chairman of the Swiss-based World Conservation Union's Cetacean Specialist Group, who took part in the Yangtze mission, said expedition participants were surprised at how quickly the dolphins disappeared.

Phoebe The Spy
Have you ever get this feeling that someone is watching every move you do? Phoebe The Spy is a book by Judith Berry Griffen. Phoebe is my favorite character, Phoebe is smart, brave courageous, and sage. This book is hilarous and non-fiction. Well not that I am saying I like to read non-fiction now, but I do enjoy history. I think Phoebe's father, Sameul Fraunces, was a good man trying to protect his good friend, George Washington, the reason I chose this book was because it is realistic, and true to exactly what had happened. This is a true story from the American Revolution.

It is so exciting to read the book and watch the movie, "The Princess Diaries" Mia, the main character, is energetic, hyper, Mia is compliant to her grandmother and follow her grandmother's instructions. Her best friends, Lily, is boisterous, and likes to make a debut to her fellow citizens, since she is Mia's assistant. This book is totally cool and everyone should check this book out.

The Man In the Moon
It is very interesting to read a short story from a script. Anyway, I am doing a reflection on the story The Man in the Moon. This story is fiction and hilarous. The reason I chose this story is because I look for 2 things in a short stroy, fiction and humor. I liked this story the moment I read it, I was really interested with the character the blacksmith, because he is stubborn, and isn't thankful with the things that he is, and his refutes with other people. The stone-cutter came along and helped the blacksmith understand how to be happy with himself, I think the stone-cutter was an oracle, predicting the blacksmiths future duration. I think the blacksmith learned a very important lesson. This story also helped me learn a lesson, to be happy with who I am.
