Escape From Alcarez Research Paper
Escape from Alcarez

3 hardened criminals, a brutal prison, and suspenseful escape. Frank Morris and the Anglin brothers escaped "the Rock" at exactly 9:30 on June 11,1962. Frank Morris and the Anglin Brothers escaped alive. Men who had tried to escape before had drowned swimming in the frigid waters of San Francisco Bay. Frank Morris was not going to be one of those men. A raft was discovered on nearby Angle Island (page 9). This proves that instead of swimming he and the Anglin brothers used a raft to escape. Another reason these clever criminals escaped Alcarez is that they didn't just steal a boat. There was a report of a stolen car

    George Foster Case Study

    George Foster had been a Navy pilot in the Second World War. While carrying out an attack on a Japanese carrier fleet in the Battle of Midway, his radioman was wounded by gunfire from the ships below. George was faced with the choice to land and save his friend, or continue attacking the Japanese fleet. He chose to stay with the planned attack, and shortly after was shot down above the ocean. George had enough luck to eject from the airplane, but was forced to watch his plane crash into the water while still containing his wounded friend. After hiding under his seat cushion to avoid detection by the Japanese, George inflated his life raft once he thought the sky was dark enough to do so. George spent over 30 hours in the water before being spotted and rescued by an American ship passing through the area. After he was taken care of and discharged back to the US, George was told that he was the only surviving member of the squadron he had belonged to.…

    Law 310 Week 2 Assignment

    On July 5, 1884, four sailors were cast away from their ship in a storm 1,600 miles from the Cape of Good Hope. Their lifeboat contained neither water nor much food. On the 20th day of their ordeal, Dudley and Stevens, without the assistance or agreement of Brooks, cut the throat of the fourth sailor, a 17- or 18-year-old boy. They had not eaten since day 12. Water had been available only occasionally. At the time of the death, the men were probably about 1,000 miles from land. Prior to his death, the boy was lying helplessly in the bottom of the boat. The three surviving sailors ate the boy’s remains for four days, at which point they were rescued by a passing boat. They were in a seriously weakened condition.…

    Unbroken Annotations

    The details of the quote show how frightened and cold and lonely these men were. The author included the sharks to represent the constant and very real threat of death and the problem of survival against these unlikely odds. The description of the ocean as calm relates to the situation like the calm before a storm in the sense that these men’s time on those rafts was likely the lesser of all evils that they had to endure from the day of the crash to the day they were liberated. Overall, the author chose to detail this setting because it gives depth and adds slight drama to the situation rather than just telling the reader that it was cold and there were sharks.…

    The Theme of 'The Man in the Water' by Roger Rosenblatt

    In the essay "The Man in the Water" by Roger Rosenblatt, the Man in the Water did something heroic that most other people probably would not do. He and a great deal of other people were in a plane crash and landed in the Arctic Ocean. They were floating in the middle of freezing cold water with no one around to help. Soon enough, a helicopter rescue team came to save the group of people that had crashed by pulling them out of the water. Every time the rescue team lowered a lifeline or a flotation ring to the Man in the Water, he passed it on to another of the passengers that were with him on the plane. That selfless act was beyond doubt, heroic and admirable.…

    Many have tried and their outcomes were not as planned. The inmates would either end up back in the prison, missing, or dead. While the prison was open there were 14 known escape attempts with 36 known escapees. 23 of the escapees were caught and didn't even get close to the water, 6 inmates were shot and killed, 2 drowned, and 5 went missing and assumed dead. There is one escape attempt though that catches everyone's eye and immagination. Clarence Anglin, John Anglin and Frank Morris dug holes behind the air vent in their cells to get out. They also used makeshift items like papier-mâché heads to put in their bunks, a water raft, and life preservers made out of rain coats to help ensure their escape. the escape took place in June of 1962. Their makeshift raft was found on shore with them nowhere in sight It was said that they died and their raft floated up on shore. For all we know Clarence, John, and Frank could still be…
