Core class La

In LA we read books, do worldly wise, edublogs (what I’m doing now) and writing essays. Essays are fun because they are graded and graded work is fun when you get a good grade.

Did they Survive?

“In the stormy nights and hot days of Alcatraz, the Morris brothers are planning their escape. We all know they did but the real question is, Did they survive?  Well in this essay I am going to tell you how they survived the impossible prison of Alcatraz.”

 

“First of all, we know they survived because if you watch Mythbusters exactly season 1 episode 11 the myth was. Is it possible to escape from Alcatraz to land? So what they did was build a raft what was “supposedly” what the same materials they did in Alcatraz. But guess what happened it worked but the currents were very extreme and it was very hard for the Morris brothers to escape. The only problem from this reason is that according to the myth it was said that they landed in angel island the exact opposite of what happened in the Mythbusters episode.”

 

“The second reason is that it makes sense how they broke out of Alcatraz think about it they made paper mache. And glued hair from the prison`s barber then at night they went out and climbed up the plumbing system and escaped. Then they had to sneak past the prison guard light and they built a raft and escaped see that all makes sense and in the scope, the article is said there were 24 escape attempts and why did they only really mention the Morris brothers. You want to know why because they escaped.”

 

“The third reason is that the currents could pull them into the land and possibly have made a successful escape attempt because from my first reason in Mythbusters they made a raft and the currents could pull them in and make them successfully escape Alcatraz. But it is not going to be easy and they take a lot of paddling and manpower but if they all cooperate and work together then it is going to be possible for them to escape from Alcatraz.” 

 

“In conclusion that is why I think that the Morris brothers survived and escaped the horrible and smelly prison of Alcatraz.”
