    Jose Luis – nice story. You present some interesting issues: species extinction/endangerment, the pressing need to entertain people/visitors, and how we try to keep things alive that don’t seem to be thriving in a particular environment. I wonder what connections you can make between these issues. I’m eager to see how you incorporate your story into your revised T/Q/S statement.

    Good work!
