This is what Mary Bowser had done. Mary Bowser was a spy for the union in the civil war, carrying out intelligence tasks to help the union.  Now, you might be asking “Who is Mary Bowser?” well lucky for you, I talk about them here.  Mary Bowser was a spy for the union. She was tasked with spying on the enemy and taking important documents and listening in on important conversations about the confederacy and their plans. After getting the intel, she would bring it back to the union or, tell the union about what's happening and it would be passed onto higher-ups. Before being a spy, she was a slave. Though, not much else is known about Mary Bowser because all known records were destroyed. Mary Bowser was a spy, so this comes with a LOT of challenges. Some, not even involving spy work....

  Homework. You either hate it or love it, there's some pros and cons about it and that's what I’ll be talking about today. For example: you can have stress having to complete that homework when you have other things you want to do, but a pro is you can actually get some extra practice in with it.  Homework is schoolwork that a student is required to do at home. In this paragraph I’ll talk about the pros of homework. (good side of homework) Don't worry, we’ll get to the cons later. One of the many pros of doing homework is getting more practice on a topic.

    Did you know, about 14 billion pounds of trash is dumped into the ocean each year?  This is one of the main causes for our oceans being polluted. And in this blog, I will talk about how the ocean is being polluted.  By 2050, there will be more trash in the ocean than fish in the ocean. Here, I list some causes and effects of throwing trash into the ocean. First is Chemical Impacts. When trash is thrown into the sea, chemicals associated with the accumulation and transport of persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic contaminants, like PCBs and pesticides will harm the fish and habitats.  Secondly, is when fish try to digest these plastics. When fish digest plastic, or any type of trash, it causes all types of problems. Most being Internal and external wounds. But, one key to their survival is also limited. When these fish try to digest the plastic or trash, it will get blocked up and cause  a dent in their digestive capacity.  Eight million metric tons...
