Hailey Ludden Historical Fiction
The book that I read for my Historical Fiction is Voices form the Civil War. It is a book about how people lived and how the president lived in the years of the Civil War. It talked about how the president made decisions. It was a really good book that was full of information.
In the book it told how people were worried about their siblings or other family members. It was a good book because of the way that it was told. It was also a good book because of the way that they stated that they wanted their family members to be safe and that they wanted them to come home.
If somebody else was looking for a book to read about Historical fiction then I would tell them to read this one because it was a very good book. It was full of information and it it also had Aberham Lincon's point of view so that was also good.

My family and I are going to the Kuta reef. It is in Indonesia. The capital of Indonesia is Jakarta. The countries that border it are Vietnam, Thailand, and Cambodia. The bodies of water that border this country are the Pacific ocean and the Indian ocean. N51 02.659, W114 03.781. The climate of Indonesia is almost entirely tropical. The uniformly warm waters that make up 81 % of Indonesia's area ensure that temperatures on land remain pretty much constant, with the coastal plains averaging 28°C, the inland and mountain areas averaging 26 °C, and the higher mountain regions, 23 °C. Temperature varies little from season to season. In the Kuta reef there is a lot of beaches and water. In the water there are really big waves and people surfing. There is not really a history of the Kuta reef. The Kuta reef is important because it is the home to many fish and plants and other living organisms. The Kuta reef is about 10,539.10 miles away from the Snorkeling lighthouse reef. My family and I got to Indonesia by plane. We three layovers. We left on Monday at 2:55pm and got to Miami at 6:55pm and we had to stay there for 2hrs and 50 Min's. And left there at 9:45pm and we arrived at Los Angeles at 11:59pm and stayed there for 1hr and 51 Min's. Then we left there at 1:50am and we got to Hong Kong at 7:25am and stayed there for 1hr and 55 Min's. Then we left there at 9:20am And got to Jakarta, Indonesia at 1:05pm on Wednesday. I think that it was an alright flight. But it was along time to get there because it was 33hrs and 10 Min's.

I am going to the snorkeling lighthouse reef. It is in Belize a country in the western Caribbean on the coast of Central America. The capital of Belize is Belmopan. The countries that border Belize are Mexico, and Guatemala. The body of water that border Belize is the Caribbean sea. The G.P.S coordinates of Belize are latitude 17.48333- 17° 28' 60 N and longitude is -88.18333-
88° 10' 60 W. The climate of Belize is 24° C in January to 27° C in July. Belize has a lot of beaches, and sand there is a lot of fun place to go with the family in Belize to. The is not really a history of reefs in Belize. Reefs in Belize are important because they are homes to many living organisms like fish and plants. Belize is 4,360.53 miles away from the great Barrier reef. We used a plane to get to Belize. It took $6,380 to get to get to Albuqerque, New Mexico with our flight, rental car and hotel. First we went to Albuqerque, New Mexico. Then we got our rental car and drove to Belize so we could go to our hotel and get all of our stuff to go snorkeling and then we went to go snorkeling. We had no problems during our travel. I think the biggest change from the Snorkeling reef and the Great Barrier reef is how long it took. Because the trip to Hawaii was a lot longer then the trip to Belize and it was hotter in Hawaii.

My family and I are going to the Octopus reef. The country that it is in is Hawaii. Honolulu is the capital of Hawaii. No countries border it. The Atlantic ocean borders Hawaii. The latitude of Honolulu 21.3069444. The longitude is -157.8583333. January, 72.9° F; August, 81.4° F; annual average, 77.2° F. Hawaii has a lot of pom trees, water, beaches, sand and road. Hawaii's history in story and legend is ancient and proud, dating back at least a thousand years before American colonies became a nation in 1776. It is highly unlikely that the exact date when Polynesian people first set foot on these previously uninhabited islands will ever be known, nor much details about events occurring between that date and the first contact with Europeans.
The Hawaiians were a people without writing, who preserved their history in chants and legends. Much of the early history has disappeared with the death of the kahunas and other learned men whose function it was to pass on this knowledge, by means of chants and legends, to succeeding generations.Modern Hawaiian history begins on January 20, 1778, when Captain James Cook's expedition made its first contact with the Hawaiian people on the islands of Kauai and Niihau. Captain Cook was not the first man to "discover" the Hawaiian Islands. He was the first known European to arrive.The language of Hawaii and archaeological discoveries indicate that Hawaii was settled by two distinct waves of Polynesian migration. Cook himself knew that the original Polynesian discoverers had come from the South Pacific hundreds of years before his time. First, from the Marquesas, came a settlement as early as 600 or 700 AD, and then from the Society Islands, another migration about 1100 AD. Lacking instruments of navigation or charts or any kind, the Polynesians sailed into vast oceans. They staked their knowledge of the sky and its stars, the sea and its currents, the flight of birds and many other natural signs. They were superior seamen of their time. Hawaii is important because it is a home to many animals and people and without it there would be a lot of people without homes. The Octopus reef is approximately 6,080.72 miles away from the great barrier reef. The flight, 24 nights in a hotel and a rental car would be 2,777.59.

The location that I am visiting is great Barrier reef. It is in northeast Australia. The capital is Queensland. The countries that border it is New south Wales, South Australia, and Northern Territory. The bodies of water that border it are Indian ocean, Southern ocean, Tamall sea, Coral sea, and Timur sea. The G.P.S coordinates are 18°17′10″S 147°40. The climate of Australia in the winter is 68 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit. And in the summer time it is 72F. My location has some sand and some tar for the road. And we drive to the great Barrier reef and put on our scuba gear on and dive into the water. it is dark on the bottom and more light on top there are fish and there are lots of plants and other things it is hard to see but what I can see is beautiful. The great Barrier reef has been around for many generations. It has had many animals grow used to that type of habitat. The location is important because it is the home of many animals and plants and without it many of those things would die.
