What can a person accomplish with a healthy dose of elbow grease and determination? Ask Santiago from The Old Man and the Sea or Homer Hickam and friends from Rocket Boys. These people found their passions in life and pursued them, even under difficult circumstances.
After we finish viewing October Sky, a movie based on Rocket Boys, we will write essays that focus on the value of having a good work ethic. Good copies of your papers will be due Monday, October 5.
