King Kong fails to scare Chilean miners
This article is about the 33 Chilean and their tour throughout the country, especially at universal studios in L.A. This is the first tour that the miners have done together since the accident last month. The artical entails alittle about each minor, and what life was like down 2,300 feet below the surface.

I read through the article and I think it's great that the miners are being looked upon as heroes. It was interesting to find out what they did in order to stay alive. My personal favorite was the man named Edison Pena who sang Elvis songs. I saw him on David Letterman and it inspires me how they can still find happiness even in such an extremely harsh situation.

It is nice to hear some good news for once. I remember watching the miners come up on the News and even the anchors took the opportunity to remind audiences that they "do actually report on positive happenings". Even though the whole ordeal with the Chilean President and American helpers seemed to have a lot to do with good publicity, it is still cool to see these guys honored for the horrible experience that they had to go through.
This was a really touching article; the whole ordeal itself was something really inspiring to follow. I like how one miner started writing poems about his family to help him get through the loneliness. In addition, just the story of how the miners worked together to all survive and how they didn't argue with each other is a great example of how teamwork ends up helping everyone as a whole.
Through this experience, the miners and their families were able to become closer and also realize that every moment spent with a loved one is precious. It's a good reminder that we should also treasure those that are around us instead of taking them for granted.
Lastly, to me, these miners are indeed heroes that deserve to be honored for all that they had to suffer for. They never gave up and now they're finally safely out and reunited with their families.
This is such a heart warming article! I think it's really sweet how the miners got to have some fun after their experience being trapped in a mine for such a long period. I could only imagine how their family members felt during that time; being able to be reunited with their families and having fun at Universal Studios is such a nice celebration for everyone. I also like how these miners are looked upon as heroes, it's really touching.
