    Critically acclaimed author Stephen R. Brown in his work titled “Scurvy: How a Surgeon, a Mariner and a Gentleman solved the greatest medical mystery of the age of sail.” Brown offers his readers a factual and historically accurate account of life at sea during the age of sail; however, one could easily mistake parts of this book for a work of fiction. Brown achieves this rare balance by employing techniques normally reserved for a work of fiction. By paying particular attention to the underlying motivations, actions, and choices made by individuals coupled with robust storytelling, Brown creates not only a narrative for the book but also a biographical account as well. Brown achieves this while maintaining both a factual and historically accurate account of life as an 18th century seaman.…

    She struggles against the ripping force of the ocean current. Her arms are quickly tiring from swimming against it. She relaxes, letting her muscles fall limp. Within seconds, she is pushed out to sea. The people on the beach are so small, little tiny ants against a white sand backdrop. The tall condo skyscrapers are now tiny Lego buildings. The kids hollering and music blasting on the beach is faded like a distant memory. She will die out here, she’s sure of it. Her daughter won’t have a mother’s hand to hold when learning to walk. Her husband will be left a widower, forever broken by the loss of his love. She closes her eyes and accepts her fate as she drifts further out to sea. She floats for a long while, the salinity in the water steadily…

    To start with, Holling Hoodhood “friends” would be gone because he participated in the play and he wore tights and while the whole school came and laughed at him and he didn’t lose it. Imagine that if that happened to you, it would be horrible right. But then someone forgets their line right in front of you and you stand there and wait tell he says something. It would be funny for the crowd but inside it's more frightening that a rattlesnake(well maybe no but still). This fades into the next example, after the show he had to run in the cold all the way to the sports store. Holling Hoodhood went there to see the one and only Mickey Mantle and the Mickey looked at him and laughed at him because he was wearing tights and threw his ball that Holling Hood gave to him to sign and Holling stared at at him with a blank face and left. So the last one for this topic is about the story of the shipwrecked to the bottom of the earth. If the Captain didn’t keep his mind to getting to Antarctica, you can call him dead meat. In other words if got distracted by something he would of died. For this you have to be concentrated and if anything at one second goes wrong you're a gonner. The captain must of blocked out everything everyone says cause he was always strict. For an example, when the men were joking around on land (more so snow) he would be strict. and let's say it a very tense…

    Melville’s emphasis of “no mercy, and no power” indicated the contentious and malevolent nature of the sea; in addition to the potent physical and mental characteristics mentioned before. By mentioning the danger and futile nature of the landsmen's mission to conquest, Melville advised the them to surrender before the sea took real action and caused unpredictable harm. The sea’s manipulative savvy, irrepressible strength, and relentless characteristic all seemed to belittle the human kind for their weak and underdeveloped whole, for men were deemed incapable to comprehend the perplexity of the sea and powerless to prevail the extensive sea physically. Melville extended upon the belittlement of men by the sea earlier on as well with a staggering contrast in word choice. He stated that though “baby men” were pleased with their prolonged sea-discoveries and advanced technology, the potent and ruthless sea would still “insult and murder” them.…

Fortunately, the air filled top of the pontoon snapped like a stick within second of being air borne. This was a short moment of relief for my family but it still was not finished.…
