Eli has been asked to write about an experience in Jungle Book: Mowgli's Brothers. His assignment is to make a connection between the book and his own life.

Which is the best example of making a connection to the text?

Mowgli shows great courage when standing up to Shere Khan at Council Rock. My favorite example of courage is Captain Z, who is a character on my favorite TV show. Captain Z shows courage fighting aliens, criminals, and wild animals.
Mowgli shows great courage when standing up to Shere Khan at Council Rock. I once had to use courage to make a speech before our entire school at an assembly. Remembering how I felt that day helps me better understand Mowgli.
Mowgli shows great courage when standing up to Shere Khan at Council Rock. I wish I had more courage. I want to try out for the school talent show, but it is just too scary.
Mowgli shows great courage when standing up to Shere Khan at Council Rock. I think Shere Khan is an example of a huge bully! I wish he were not part of the story.

there on the beach was a struggling turtle.   around its bright green neck was a loop of soda can rings.   in order to the planet, i have made a few changes to my life.   the first change is reducing the number of straws used. the second change was to recycle.   finally, i have worked hard to clean up litter.   it is important to clean our ocean.

you may not think straws have a large impact but they do.   imagine for every straw you sip out of a poor, , adorable turtle is being harmed.   one way i chipped in to is by using metal straws.   these straws are reusable and inexpensive.   another change is simply turning down straws.   by refusing a straw, i’m the turtles one drink at a time.  

however, the ocean just doesn't have turtles.   there are lots of creatures that live there and are harmed by all the litter.   to prevent litter from growing it’s important to recycle.   for me, i have started to buy most goods that are made out of recycled material.   pura vidas, chacos, purses, and too many other items to even count.   plus, when you buy those products they give money to charities.   not only am i the environment, but i’m also feeling better about my self.   finally, i have worked hard to clean up litter.   it is important to clean our ocean.
