Hadley Ransom 2/21/14 P. 5 Extra Credit Essay Once in a while, you find yourself experiencing something so incredible or surreal that you just can't believe what's happening. But once you step back and re-evaluate the situation, you realize that bad luck just found it's way right to your doorstep. So imagine finding yourself lost at sea for over a year with little to no resources. That is the story of Jose Salvador Alvarenga. The story of the 37 year old fisherman stuck at sea has striking similarities to the popular book and movie, The Life Of Pi.
After that we spent the day in processing which is always the boring part I thought, not this time if we weren’t busy we were doing PT. I was ready to die that night. The rest of the week was a blur I was in so much pain I was just pushing through. We did two multiple-mile runs, demoralizing circuit PT (three laps around a 0.8mi track doing all kinds of different exercises like bear crawls, crab walks, and iron mikes along the way), and rolling around in a gravel pit for an hour and a half in a session the Army likes to call
Take a municipal's source of public water, pump it, and resell it? Then I started doing a little bit of research and came across one of the best independent documentaries I have ever seen. There was even a public showing of this documentary here at rutgers last semester to raise awareness. I noticed how much bottled water my family alone consumed, so I couldn't even imagine how much the world as a whole was consuming. So the investigation began.
However, the descriptions of scenery are added in by Hemingway to suggest detriment in the future of our two lovers, Nick and Marjorie. Therein lies a message in Hemingway's descriptions when he writes, "Then one year there were no more logs to make lumber….. All the piles of lumber were carried away." The tall schooners headed back out to sea after the fortune of a few prosperous times, carrying away years of Hortons Bay tradition under a tight canvas. Also, the fact that "Ten years later there was nothing of the mill except the broken white limestone" may suggest predictable broken emotions between Nick and Marjorie. The most prevalent symbol in "The End of Something" is the destroyed lumber mill, which represents Nick and Marjorie's soon-to-be destroyed relationship.
Lily was excited for her new sweater, and Jonas was ready for his assignment. It starts off with The Murmur of Replacement Ceremony, the ceremony consist of the replacement of a family unit’s child that “lost” the year before.

Which shows how little the community knows about death.
With only two tracks now, only cars were being used on that road. White expresses how, “There had always been three tracks to choose from in choosing which track to walk in” (White, 31), now it was limited to two. He was saddened by seeing this change and for a moment, he began to miss the third track badly. The second change that White reflected upon was the feeling when arriving at the lake. White cherishes his memories and realizes that the summers he passed at the lake as a young boy were precious and worth saving.
The first morning was rather bad as we couldn’t get our stoves to light so this made us late out of the campsite we left and headed east towards Monyash just north of the river we crossed the river about a kilometre of walking away from the campsite, we then continued towards monyash where we met an assessor. We left monyash immediately as we were quite late, but not as late as we had set off as we walked quite quickly. We left monyash south west on a main road before turning left onto a footpath continuing south on a footpath to Vincent house, we got to Vincent house and there was no assessor so we left straight away as we were still late but getting less late to every checkpoint. So we continued our walk to Hartington, where we met an assessor, we filled up with water and continued south west along a main road for 2 kilometres before turning left onto a footpath which we followed for a kilometre ,we then started arcing into a eastern direction towards Warslow where we met an assessor. We continued south on a straight walk to heathy roods
I remember wearing it one night in the goddam cold, drunk as hell, Boy, was it dark. You wouldn’t have enjoyed it there, but do you remember those ducks in that little lake near Central Park South? Well, I went to see what the hell those ducks were doing and all - but I still just felt blue as hell. After all that stuff, I had the most terrific break you could imagine, I managed to get home to say hello to Old Phoebe and then beat it. It was really a terrific break.
In the second paragraph, the author started to wonder “the tarred road would have found it out”. Turn to look the forth paragraph, he said “I was right about the tar: if led to within half a mile of the shore.”, which seems to make him somewhat upset. Then he realized the lake was almost the same as before. We could perceive the delight in his heart by the three words “I knew it”, and the following long poetic sentence described his old memory. In the seventh paragraph, even the changed of track road bothered him.
The requirements are CPR, Rescue breathing, Deep- shallow water spinals, save guest in distress, save a choking guest and many more other minor scenarios. Being re-taught these things many times after a while it just kind of sticks with you and when something actually happens, you know exactly what to do. The first year I started working there I worked mammoth falls and raging river (The longest lines in the park) and every 30 min, hour on the hour people would faint at the top of the slide. One particular time stood out because before this guest even fainted I saw it coming. She was about 14, blonde, blue eyes, her skin was loss of all color pale white, she was so skinny it looked like she hadn’t eaten in days.
