Analysis Of Michael Cudlitz's The Same Boat
The latest episode of The Walking Dead Season 6 may have featured a considerate number of walker kills and dead Saviors including Alicia Witt’s Paula getting eaten by captured zombies. Luckily, none of the major characters were killed off in “The Same Boat” but the brief synopsis for the 14th episode hints on a possibility that that could change, especially for Michael Cudlitz’s Abraham!
“Twice As Far” will deal with the aftermath of the Savior slaughter Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and his group inflicted, an incident that showed a new (but not necessarily improved) Carol (Melissa McBride) trying to prevent the death of more survivors. However, the action will be happening outside of Alexandria once again.
The synopsis of the episode reads as follows:

    Image, the wee hours of the morning, a ship sinking and its crew abandoning the vessel in a lifeboat with only the thought of survival, unware of what dangers await them in the darkness of the sea. Ironically this is the grim reality of the men in the story The Open Boat written by Stephen Crane. What makes this story interesting is the fact that Crane was actually a passenger on the Commodore when it sank. During this time in American history it seems to be several shipwrecks along the coast of Florida. For the author he witnessed one of these disasters first hand. Therefore, Crane wrote The Open Boat based on his account of what happened on the fatefully morning when the steamer Commodore sank.…

    The literary works of two Canadian authors can often be place under a microscope where the similarities of their works become very apparent. The writing styles tend to have many aspects in common. The short story “Cornet at Night” by Sinclair Ross is very similar to “The Boat” by Alistair MacLeod. They are similar in not just one but in many ways. The two literary works share many aspects between them. These aspects extend over a wide variety of topics. These aspects are used by the authors in both short stories to help develop the plot and deepen the story. The most comparable of these aspects are the theme, setting and the diction that is used.…

    A common point of similarity between the two resources is conflict. In the fiction resource, Tom Crocker and his team are sent to Europe first, then the Middle East, to halt the operations of a kidnapping ring, who has captured his wife, lead by a certain sheikh. Now, in reality, the United States has been at war with the Islamic State for many years, and this book exemplifies just that by giving this scenario in which Tom Crocker and his team have to take out the sheikh that was mentioned earlier. Therefore, a conflict has risen up between Crocker’s team and the terrorists.…

    In “Consider the Lobster,” David Foster Wallace asks his readers to consider if eating lobsters or other animals is ethical. He describes how lobsters show a preference to not be boiled by their efforts to avoid or escape the pan. He argues that this preference is proof that the lobster suffers or feels pain. However, I can compose the same argument about plants. Grasses produce a chemical in distress right before they are cut from a lawnmower or attacked by insects. This shows that the grass has a preference to not be cut or eaten just as the lobster did. As humans, we must eat either plants or animals to survive. If both plants and animals feel pain and show a preference to live, then how is eating one more ethical that eating the other? I believe that it is ethically permissible to kill animals and plants for food as long as a majority of the animal / plant is used for practical purposes, the animal / plant is not domesticated to a point of trust that a pet would have, and the…

    The lesson being taught in this poem is that there is a price for everything we have, and knowledge cannot be captured in a "bottle". The dragonfly is described in the poem as this little delicate creation which is very maneuverable and acrobatic. Less image than thought is saying the dragonfly has very little to show on top where things are obvious, this is an effective simile because people tend to think of bugs as having a very small brains. The dragonfly later on becomes the victim of the father. The child would not suspect that something as little and innocent looking can actually have a catch to it. The dragonfly is being compared to a hidden price is a very effective simile because it can disguise it self and not be found until it is too late. The poem also says "Swoosh went the net with a practiced hand" and the author implies that the father is an experienced man who already ran into something that had a catch to it, he is trying to use the bug as an example to his son to teach him what he learned the hard way. The dragonfly is killed when it's captured and that shows how you can kill knowledge when you try to capture it. Killing the knowledge when trying to collect it is the whole catch to it. I can relate to the lesson taught in this poem. I can think of a lot of times when my parents talked to me about something but later that week I'd go and do the exact opposite. For example every winter my mom told me to wear my jacket but I'd just run off outside without it and every winter I would get sick, now that I grew up a bit I understand why she was telling me that. Very little can be learned about life just from words, to really understand something you have to go and try it out yourself. Later on you start understanding why adults tell you all these things that you didn't want to listen to. When people become adults they try to pass the lessons they learned onto their children who are the exactly the same way their parent were when they were little.…

    In Rebecca Kanner’s Sinners and the Sea and Yasmina Reza’s The God of Carnage the human capacity to commit violence is emphasized. Kanner portrays violence during the time of Noah time before and during the flood. The sinners of the town of Sorum, as well as some members of Noah’s family, commit acts of violence toward one another. Reza portrays violence with the same intensity as Kanner, but with a limited cast of characters. The difference between the two portrayals of violence is that Kanner uses evil as a transformative force, while Reza depicts evil as an end. Kanner is hopeful that evil restores the good, while Reza believes that evil does not bring positive outcomes.…

    Have you ever noticed the groups you see at school? How people are judged upon their looks as well as attitude towards things. Sometimes in life people can be judged by what they are considered by others by, what they do, how they act, or just by their popularity. Sometimes we are judged by just the drama that is around us. But, this is what I see.…

    The man with the blue beard said “So if it isn't Mr.Bill Walker and who might these two be.” “Leave them alone” Bill screamed. The man with the bluebeard and his partner were looking at the walker family but weren't aware of their surroundings. Bill noticed a group of zombies behind them but didn't make it obvious. Bill then said, “You can have me just please let my family go free.” Right before the man with the blue beard got a chance to speak, his leg was viciously bit into causing veins to pop with blood oozing everywhere only attracting more zombies. His partner was outnumbered and eventually taken to the ground. The zombies surrounded the too and started biting into them like a fresh steak and ripped of their skin with their teeth. Jack and Shaniquwa carried Bill out of sight of the zombies as they were busy with the two migos gang members. They carried Bill to the road when they noticed a sliding SUV heading their way. The SUV wasn't slowing down and hit the Walker family and killed all three. Although they had died then it didn't matter because Sixela spread and wiped out the entire population on…

    Rowing is a team sport, and requires a fully devoted team to succeed, as well as academics at Belmont Hill. One thing that sets Belmont Hill far apart from any other school is its goal to make the campus a happy and comfortable place for all of its students. They understand that not everyone is a professional at every subject, and help arrange for tutors to help you progress through challenging material. This concept is also present in the book The Boys in the Boat by Daniel James Brown. This is similar to rowing and how Joe keeps his team positive and ready to race. One of the most important parts is keeping everyone “on the same note” and keeping consistent strokes in order to flawlessly propel their shell. Another example of teamwork is when the team qualifies for the olympics, but can’t afford to travel to Germany. As a team, they raise money and soon meet their goal. As Joe Rantz progressed into his life as a young adult, he learned to trust his teammates, was devoted to doing what was…
