The Man In Water Crash Analysis
Thesis: For a man to give his life for someone else he has to be very selfless. To have that particular level of bravery and courage, is phenomenal. This man didn't wake up that morning thinking he was going to have to die for three other men to live. He woke up believing he was going home to his loved ones; and this is what made this act so fantastic and wonderful.

For at some moment in the water he must have realized that he would not live if he continued to hand over the rope and ring to others.

Support 1: "Like every other person on that flight, he was desperate to live, which makes his final act so stunning." Do you think this man wanted to die? He had a life of his own to go home to. He wanted to live just as badly as his peers. He had to make a difficult decision that day; a decision to put himself first, and that, makes him courageous. "In a mass casualty, you'll find people like him," said Windsor, "But I've never seen one with that commitment."

If this man wouldn't have gotten into the water to save these guys, we would've lost more than just one man.

Support 3: "In fact, nobody had to go into the water . That somebody actually did so is part of the reason this particular tragedy sticks in the mind." The man in the water had to think to himself: "Is my life worth all three of their lives? Should I keep on living or should I go in and save multiple lives?"

Conclusion: Bravery and courage are the biggest words to describe this man's actions. To risk your own life for someone else's is phenomenal. I don't know anyone who could pull of a selfless act like this one. When the helicopter took off with what was to be the last survivor, he watched everything in the world move away from him, and he deliberately let it

    Heroes are able to recover from a defeat where a normal man would stop trying and give in to his dark feelings. One example of this is, Tristan Segers he was a normal military soldier until his vehicle was blown up along with one of his legs. “After nearly two years of surgeries and rehabilitation in Texas, Segers, a handsome 28-year-old, moved back to Snohomish County last week.”(SB, Pg. 58). This shows Tristan Segers ability to recover as well as his tenacity. He took all that pain and he…

    “People tell me I saved hundreds and hundreds of people. But I have to tell you: it’s not the people you saved that you remember. It’s the ones you couldn’t save. Those are the ones you talk about. Those are the faces and situations that stay with you forever.” This is a quote from famous US Navy Sniper, Chris Kyle(Kyle 285). Chris Kyle is notorious for being a tenacious, heroic, and affectionate man due to the many actions he carried out for the United States of America.…

    I think Chris did a great job at putting his feelings into words when he talks about two of the seals he lost. Yet I did notice when Chris does start talking about the death he witnessed and experienced another understanding he shares is the courage that all those men had. Mikey Monsoor was one of these men who did the most courageous and selfless thing I have ever heard of. When a Grenade was thrown into a building he was in, it hit him in the chest and bounced off potentially hurting his platoon members nearby. Mikey yelled grenade but instead of running out the door like a coward he was courageous enough to jump on the grenade and snuff it out to protect all of his team mates in the room (Kyle 308). He took the complete blast in the stomach forfeiting his life instantly. He was awarded the medal of honor for his courageous acts. By the way Chris talked you could tell that Mikey was not alone, for any of the warriors out there would have done the…

    “While they continued to write and talk, we saw the wounded and dying. While they taught that duty to one's country is the greatest thing, we already knew that death-throes are stronger. But for all that we were no mutineers, no deserters, no cowards--they were very free with all these expressions. We loved our country as much as they; we went courageously into every action; but also we distinguished the false from true, we had suddenly learned to see. And we saw that there was nothing of their world left. We were all at once terribly alone; and alone we must see it through”…

    My first reason why I think he was a hero is that he stood up for what he thought was right by himself. Though one person rebelled with him, Phillipa, but she discontinued after she was lobotomized or, being surgically operated to reduce mental capacity as in the movie Harrison Bergeron. He didn’t want to lie to society and say that all he revealed was a lie on national television so instead he shot himself to prove a point. Basically he would rather die for society’s sake.…

    Ensuing the wreckage of the plane, there are five survivors that are being exposed to wintry cold temperatures of the Potomac. Above all, there is a Rescue Helicopter team on the way. Yet, "Nature cared nothing about the five passengers. Our man, on the other hand, cared totally” (Rosenblatt 276). As the reference displays how Nature is the all-powerful force in the world that cares for nothing, but also says there is someone in the world that cares. The man in the water is the person that pays attention to those that are in need, but also shows how he is a hero in the story, and in everybody's hearts.…

    I personally probably wouldn’t have gone through as much as he did. It probably was hard for him to even sleep some nights. I am sure he was stressed, pressured, and scared. But he never let his courage slip away. You can doing anything when you have courage. With courage you can stand up to bullies and tell them to stop. Tell your parents something that you lied about. Maybe even tell the neighbor you accidently broke their window with a…
