On this particular occasion the pond was left uncovered which caused the death of the fish. As a result of this Mr. Stewart had to be compensated $2,000 for the fish. Future Recommendations: Mr. Harrelson I need you to inform your team of what has taken place at Mr. Stewart’s resident and let me know of your finding from the employees who completed this work. Please have a statement sent to me on your findings no later than August 20, 2014. Mr. Harrelson below are some question to think about: 1.
One day, Stewie, a six-year old who lived next door, struggled over the fence to get a closer look at the koi. When Stewie bent down to "pet" a fish, he fell into the water, hit his head on the bottom of the pond, and was rendered unconscious. Three minutes later, Lois, a passerby, saw Stewie floating in the pond, and climbed over the fence to rescue him. Stewie suffered permanent brain damage in the accident, and sues Peter for negligence. Which of the following statements is most likely correct?
For the first 3 days until Santiago eventually kills the fish, the sailor bears the strain of the line with all of his might incase the Marlin tries to break free. As Santiago finally sets sail for home, the next two days he must fight off sharks that try to and eventually do eat away at the Marlin. He endures many cuts along his hands and face and must eat other fish he kills so he doesn’t starve. I believe the quote “A man can be destroyed but not defeated” develops and is illustrated in this book because it is exactly what happens to Santiago on his fishing voyage. Although the words destroyed and defeated can often mean the same thing, the quote “A man can be destroyed but not defeated” means that someone can keep losing over and over again, but as long as he continues to at least try, then he is not truly defeated.
My response to Old man and the Sea Santiago: An old fisherman who started in the book as fished alone without a fish in eighty four days. The old man has an undefeated and cheerful eyes despite the difficult reality in front of him. As an experienced fishing expert, he has a vision that someday maybe on the eighty fifth he will catch fish, seen in" he also drank a cup of shark liver oil each day from the big drum in the shacks…… it was very good against all colds and gripped and it was good for the eyes'' (Hemingway 16). The man is persistent unbelievably The boy: He is taught by the man to fish and respects him with his whole heart. The boys clearly has strong bond with the man in a manner of son to father.
He asked the author for help because he could not find his shrimp for fishing. The author saw the shrimp and pointed it to the kid. Then he went back to the bridge. After a while, the kid let out a “Hey! Hey!” and the prettiest tarpon the author had ever seen came almost six feet out of the water.
Those few who survived did so in dreadful conditions. In Island of the Lost, Joan Druett (2007) recounts the story of two parties who were shipwrecked in 1864 on opposite sides of the island, and it is a story of leadership and team work. The first, a party of five led by Captain Thomas Musgrave of England, behaved like Shackleton’s crew stranded in the Weddell Sea. Encouraged by Musgrave, the men banded together in a common quest for survival. Over a period of 20 months, using material salvaged from their ship, they built a cabin, found food, rotated cooking duties, nursed one another, made tools, tanned seal hides for shoes, built a bellows and a furnace, made bolts and nails, and then built a boat which they used to sail to safety.
Soon enough, Nemo found himself being captured in the net of a deep-sea-diving dentist, who searches for unique fish for his dentistry aquarium. Marlin must go literally to the ends of the ocean to find his son and bring him back home. On the way, Marlin meets an interesting character named Dory, a cheerful blue tang who has a problem with short-term memory loss. They search for Nemo together in the face of stinging jellyfish, exploding mines, and menacing creatures with hundreds of teeth. I was once a little lost fish too.
This is shown as the Santiago states, “I wish it was a dream and that I had never hooked him. I'm sorry about it, fish. It makes everything wrong … I shouldn't have gone out so far fish”(110). Santiago is truly sorry that he had to go out so far into the water and catch the giant fish. Because he went out so far, the sharks ate the fish on the way back to the port.
The books setting is then set around the two’s journey on the sea and nearby islands. Finally, they reach Mexico and Richard Parker runs off into the woods and Pi is recovered by two men from a shipping company who own the boat that his family sank in. He tells them the story of his and the Bengali tiger’s survival on the lifeboat for 227 days but they do not believe it. So, Pi relates to them the same story except with his mother, a sailor with a broken leg, cannibalistic cook, with no animals and no magical islands this time around. The story closely parallels the first story without all of the fancy involved, and one of the men points this out.
That meant we had to get our fishing gear ready and wade out to the depth so cold streams and running leeches! YUCK. It was a good 45 minutes later, while the sun set and the flies bit, that we got our first bites. I was able to get two trout, and dad finished off with two more. We gutted them and fried them—delicious, I must say.
