Rocket Model for Team Effectiveness: Three hundred miles south of New Zealand are the Auckland Islands. They are isolated, forbidding, and 150 years ago, they brought almost certain death to ships that got too close. The howling sub-Antarctic winds drove ships onto the shallow reefs, and most sailors quickly drowned. Those who made it to shore soon died of exposure and starvation. Those few who survived did so in dreadful conditions.
We began spending everyday together, it was great. After two years of dating I got pregnant with our beautiful daughter. I got so sick I almost lost her at three months, then again at seven months. I had toxemia so I spent a lot of the time in the hospital. I had to go on independent study because I was bedridden.
Hopes of salvation run high when everyone on board notices a tiny speck which they imagine to be a ship. However, as it draws closer they realize that it is a skeleton (Death) and the nightmare (Life- in -death) on board the skeletal skull of a ship. They were playing dice for the souls of the crew of the ship and Death wins over the lives of the crew members and life- in -death that of the mariner. All the crew members drop dead one by one, but the mariner survives while experiencing a fate worse than death as punishment for his killing of the albatross. The mariner relates to the wedding guest that he saw the glare of those dead men for seven days.
The narrator first uses a metaphor comparing his cloudy vision on the battlefield to “misty panes” and then uses the simile “as under a green sea [I saw him drowning]” to describe his friend’s death. The simile implies that the doomed soldier was enveloped in a figurative “sea” of poisonous fumes, which “drowned” his lungs – similar to drowning in a sea of water. The heavy use of water imagery is interesting to note, because water is vital to life. Thus, an image generally linked to the preservation of life is here used as a destructive force – a “green sea” in which someone “drowns” (and ostensibly dies a terrible death). Owen also mentions the color green in both lines.
Should dolphins be living in a stressful life because of our human’s selfishness? Because they are animals or can’t talk, will be suffered? Each year, 23,000 dolphins are being slaughtered in Taiji, and it is very inhumane. The fish men lure the dolphins by using boat to the cove, then they drop nets to block cove to prevent dolphins to escape, after the next morning, the slaughter begins. They use sharp spears to stab them, if stabbing one time is not enough, twice or three times until it is dead, just imagine how the baby dolphins feel when they see their parents being killed.
The scene ends with endless pictures of graves and then the camera zooms in on the man’s eyes. After this close up the film flashes back to the war. It takes us to the scene where the soldiers who are on the boat are ready to get off then you see the soldiers are afraid, you can see this because they are throwing up and shaking. At the end of this scene the director builds up the moment by slowly opening the doors on the boat and you get to watch the soldiers being killed by the Germans. Then the director shows some excellent underwater footage of men being shot and killed.
They run out of water while the weather gets really hot. Everyone blames him for killing the albatross that they replace the cross with dead albatross around his neck to remind him of his error. Next, he indirectly get everyone on the ship dead because of the sin he commits. Feeling guilty, the Mariner wants to pray because he is still be cursed. But the Mariner escapes his curse by unconsciously blessing the water snakes, and the albatross drops off his neck into the ocean.
After this, everything goes downhill and they become savages except for Ralph's tribe. After the members of Ralph's tribe get killed, Ralph becomes next in line. At the end, an ironic rescue occurs and the boys become children again. One thing the movie lacks is the boys finding each other when the conch is blown. In the movie the boys come all together on a boat to the island and are familiar with each other.
As the journey continues most of the animals end up killing each other, leaving pi and Richard Parker as the sole survivors left on the boat. While at sea, Pi and Richard Parker face challenges that only a pessimist could survive through. Without a sufficient amount of food and fresh water, both Richard Parker and Pi become severely weak and encounter high amounts of pain. During a severe period of starvation, Pi and Richard Parker become blind. They encounter a Frenchman that’s hidden agenda is to kill Pi and eat him.
After a couple of weeks of being in an out of the hospital visiting her, I told her daughter and son-in law that I thought I could be a nurse. My cousin’s husband told me that it was just because I was caring for her. I thought about what he said and figured maybe he’s right. Several years later my son’s father was wrestling with a friend and he was dropped. His seventh vertebra was fractured.
