Smith,+Jason

I would feel like Cass when he moved because I would be sad about leaving my friends but I would be happy about getting new friends. Cass is angry and sad at his family for moving from a big city to a Minnesota. If my family moved I would not be sad or angry about the move. Cass gets angry very easily but I would block out whats making me angry.The last time I moved I was too young to remember what I did there. I moved from Alantic City to Mays Landing. I am similar to Cass but we are also very different. He hates the poeple there because they kill the animals and always insult him. These are examples of why I sympathize with Cass and how he feels.

3/7/11 - Change New Jersey to MaysLanding; need one more sentence to conclude the paragraph. An example would be: "These are the reasons why I understand how Cass feels."

=The Story Of The Edmund Fitzgerald=

The Edmund Fitzgerald was a Great Lakes Iron Ore shipping vessel. The ship was launched on June 7, 1958. It was 711 ft long and 75 ft wide. It required 33 ft of water to float. The ship was built by the Great Lakes Engineering Works in Michigan. On November 9, 1975 the ship left Superior, Wisconsin on her last voyage. What happened next will forever remain a mystery. The Fitzgerald was headed to Detroit Michigan with a load of taconite pellets when the ship ran into a storm on November 10, 1975. The ship was travelling with another ship the Arthur M. Anderson. Captain McSorley of the Fitzgerald reported the ship was foundering, had lost it's radar, and was taking on water. The captain reported it was the worst storm he had ever seen. Early that evening the Edmund Fitzgerald sank about 17 miles from the entrance to White Fish Bay. What happened to the ship has never been completely agreed to. Did it hit a shoal and break apart? Did a rogue wave crash over her sides? Was there structural weakness in her design? Perhaps there was human error. Even official agencies cannot agree. The Coast Guard, National Transportation Safety Board, and the Lake Carriers Association have never agreed on the cause of this tradgedy. 29 men lost their lives aboard this ship. There were no survivors. The ships bell was recovered on July 4, 1995. A huge number of changes were made to Great Lakes Shipping as a result of this accident. Because this ship seemed to sink under mysterious circumstances much folk lore and and interest continues to this day.
