father says the truth‚ even though it contradicts a mother’s truth which was actual a day before.

The Perfect Storm by Sebastian Junger is a fascinating book that should stay in the curriculum. The book provides a highly detailed account of a storm that places readers in the center of the storm. Though the descriptions of fishing procedures and equipment are often confusing‚ they are a vital part of the plot. Without these details‚ readers would not be able to picture the dangers of the storm the way Junger wanted them to. The book is riveting‚ but never melodramatic. There is just enough
