Roaring 40's

Picture of the Roaring 40's

The place I am visiting is the Roaring 40's. The Roaring 40's is a cool and scary place.It is located between the latitude of 40 degrees south and 50 degrees south. We are here to study the extremely strong wind causing large waves before we go sailing on them. Here we have to make it all the way back to the shore if we need to go back since there are no large pieces of land in the Roaring40's. When here i realized that the strong winds hits the water causing extremely large waves. The large waves can damage plants and animals as well as humans. Here people have tried to surf and they were not successful because the waves would knock them over. Sailors also have sailed the roaring 40's. Not many people like going here because of the huge waves. I think I am going to change my mind about sailing the Roaring 40's. That is what learned at the Roaring 40's.

I really could understand how the roaring 40's worked after reading your paragraph. This particular waters i think is very important in many ways. First by how the waves can be very strong and dangerous. Second by how people try to surf or sail on the water but end up not succeding.
Thr roaring 40's connect to my location in some ways and dont in others. My location coonects by how the water can destroy, and damage plant. It aslo connects by how peole sometimes dont know what to expect about the waters. For example farmers who plant crops over the waters could up putting them in harm. Our locations dont connect because yours is in the ocean and mine is underground of the Graet Planis. I really liked reading about your trip to the Roaring 40's.
