Angelina Professor Oren English 1A In this non-fiction story‚ the main person’s name was never mentioned. I believe the author had an exact purpose or doing this.

rolled down my cheeks after the doctor stated that I could not dive for several weeks. Competitive diving is a sport that often begins with failure but can lead to success.

In diving‚ fear is as controllable as managing an energetic three year old; extremely difficult. After recovering

classic story of Odysseus is hard to avoid‚ as the Epic Poem shares the tale of a fittingly famous Epic Hero. Along with other Epic heroes such as Beowulf and Gilgamesh‚ the title of “Epic” and “Hero” are only necessary. Ralph of Disney’s comedic film “Wreck-it Ralph” does in no way meet the criteria that the aforementioned protagonist pull off. Ralph is most definitely a hero‚ but him being “epic” is a generous statement. A main point of interest when debating ones “epicness” comes from a question

I believe that The Perfect Storm is a better that "The Wreck of the Hesperus"‚ because the action was more intense‚ the writer explained the characters more‚ and the story was longer. A strength of "The Wreck of the Hesperus" is that the poem had good form. Another strength is that it was short. A strength of the poem is that is was pretty suspenseful‚ but not as suspenseful as The Perfect Storm. A weakness of "The Wreck of the Hesperus" was that the poem was a little hard to understand
