    Kirby vs. Carnival

    Finally, Carnival Cruise Line is negligent for not stopping immediately to rescue her. They left her in the middle of the sea for almost two hours. The longer you stay in the water, the worse your injuries get. When they finally get her back to ship, the independent contractor they hired as a doctor could not assist her since her injuries were of an emergency level.

    Nick Schuyler's Not Without Hope

    A scary two days later one returns. Nick is the only survivors so he helped in writing the book. He is a dynamic character in his courage, strength, and positive attitude when things are tough. After about five hours of being in the water, no one wants to go under the boat to try to get supplies, food or water, anything that could help them. Nick does reach and get Will’s cell phone and try calling everyone including 9-1-1. He keep trying every ten to fifteen minutes. “ But I kept getting the same message… NO SERVICE…..SEND WHEN SERVICE AVAILABLE? I kept hitting YES, hoping against hope”(50). Nick could easily say, this is never going to work and give up, but that is not in character. He keeps trying and having a positive hope that something will work and someone will spot them. I think Nick’s courage and positive attitude is why he the one that survived. One example of this positive attitude and hope that he told Corey was, “ Hold on, they’re going to be here soon.” And to Marquis: “Please God, stay with us” (88). He is encouraging his other three friends to keep fighting that someone is going to find them, that God will save…

    revenge of the whale opinion

    “A lot of people think of soul surfers as people who just surf to compete. But I think it’s someone who just loves surfing for what it is, never gives up and always sticks with the ocean.” (Turner 1) Bethany Hamilton was a born soul surfer on February 8, 1990, and born on the island of Lihue, Hawaii. Bethany has two older brothers, Noah and Timmy Hamilton. Her parents are both surfers, which is how they met in Hawaii.(“Bethany Hamilton” Gale Database 1) Ever since Bethany was a little kid she’s always wanted to be a Pro Surfer, and her life goal to be one. When the shark attack happened, people thought it would change her perspective on the whole pro surfer “pipe dream”, but instead the attack made her determined to a whole new level. All of the sacrifices, choices, tools that she had to relearn how to do were all important, which made her get even closer to getting on her board. Bethany used all of her new awards, achievements, and wins of surf competitions to inspire people who look up to her as a role model and even people in her same situation. Bethany shows courage in different ways than most people would, which is what makes her stand out.…

    Jenni Lake Persuasive Speech

    “I’m done, I did what I was supposed to. My baby is going to get here safe.” Were one of the last words Idaho teen Jenni Lake said after delivering her baby. Jenni was diagnosed with astrocytoma in 2009 a form of cancer centered in the brain and spinal cord that is almost always fatal by the time she was 16. She would undergo intensive treatment with doctors telling she would have a 30% chance of living only 2 years, Doctors also stated that due to her state she wouldn’t be able to get pregnant which troubled the teen. Around 2010 Jenni Lake discovered she was pregnant with her long-time boyfriend Nathan Wittman which started the unfortunate decision for Jenni to continue treatment and seek other options for the baby or to stop treatment and give birth to a possible healthy baby. Jenni chose to stop treatment for her baby the ultimate sacrifice a mother could do. I believe Jenni made the right choice seeing how the situation was and under the circumstances if I was in her shoes I…
