Summer Reading Question

What sort of person do you image the author of the novel to be?
My answer to this question would be a very imaginative one. I say this because the story had a lot of very unexpected turning points. These turning points were completely unexpected and added a lot of excitement to the story. This author must have also had a very great imagination. I say this because like I stated about the turning points, everything was unexpected and creative.

Current Events

One thousand miles northeast of Hawaii is something known as the Pacific garbage patch. What it is is a large patch of human detritus. Why its there is an obvious reason. Our human race is continuing to litter and pollute our environment. Garbage is continuously added to the patch of filth.It is a terrible sight to see that we dispose of our trash in such a way. This is an important issue that needs to be put to an end.
I feel ashamed when I heard that this is the way our country disposes of our waste.I hope that we can soon put this to an end.
