Marlin may have been a whole different clownfish with a different personality if the event of his wife and children being attacked was handled in a different fashion. Marlin not being able to protect his wife and children from the shark made him become very cautious of the ocean. It also made him be less of a sociable fish. If the event didn't take place Marlin wouldn't
Bryan Thompson The Seafarer vs. Sea Fever The Seafarer and Sea Fever are two poems about the sea, but were written milestones apart. The Sea Farer was found recorded in the Exeter Book and has been translated from Old English. No one knows who the author is but one can safely assume a sailor wrote it. During this time, conditions on a ship were horrible and sailors could become so malnourished that scurvy would often overcome them. On top of that, ships could easily stray off course because the only devices used back then were an astrolabe and the stars.
They tear open the bag and the winds are released, blowing the ship back to Aeolia. This shows how disloyal the crew was being to Odysseus. This also demonstrates how careless Odysseus can be. By not telling his crew the contents of the mysterious bag, he caused himself a great deal and much time lost. Although, Odysseus is only human and cannot possibly remember to tell his crew every detail that happens in his life, so he cannot be blamed very much for this incident.
Steading myself I looked around anxiously. I precipitously realised that I was on a boat. “What, umm, huh, how… how did I get here?” Imagination and misperception drowned me. Hunger and despair filled me. I looked up at the sky which was darkening to a blue grey and the clouds seemed to double up on each other.
Imagine a ship owned by someone who is blind who knows little about seafaring. Also on the ship with him are a group of sailors who are constantly quarrelling with each other about who would be most suited to captain the ship. There is also a navigator who has knowledge of the stars and is more than capable of guiding the ship to its destination safely, this is the philosopher. The sailors are trying to persuade the owner of the ship to allow them to take control, these are the sophists. They know not of seafaring, and do not have the aptitude that the navigator possesses, and are equipped only with the art of persuasion.
In “Lord of the Flies”, the protagonists Ralph, and other important characters, were filled with emotions. Such emotions as hate, fear, competitive, and anger emerged throughout this book. Using setting and symbolism these points can be proved. The setting of this book is in a deserted tropical island. The characters were clueless to which location they were brought to.
Odysseus chooses to pass by Skylla therefore he would only lose six men instead of a ship and most of his crew. Skylla appears fictional, unlike Kharybdis. Kharybdis is located in Sicily, in the strait between Sicily and the boot of Italy. Its “modern name is Garofalo” and it does pose as a threat just as in The Odyssey; though not a gigantic whirlpool, it still destroys ships (Darling 1999). Garofalo “forms when strong winds blow across the strait in the opposite direction to the flow of the tide” and it creates “a violent broken swell… which can be rough enough to overturn small vessels and create… navigation hazard[s] for larger ones” (Darling
The actions of the people on board the ship adds to the confusion and disorder. The sailors and nobles begin a fight about the fact that the nobles should stay below while the sailors do their job. Although this is comical onstage it adds to the uncomfortable disorder. Sebastien shouts at the Boatswain, "A pox o' your throat, you bawling, blasphemous, incharitable dog!" There is more disorder shown in the midst of the tempest through the crew and passengers fear.
Humans have been known for destroying coral reefs through unlawful fishing habits. Cyanide fishing has been classified as a destructive fishing practice, yet is still being used in our oceans today. The destruction of coral reefs is greatly due to the fact that many people are unaware of a number of things. Such as the what coral reefs are, the key role they play, what cyanide fishing really is as well as the negative effects the fishing will cause. Occupying less than one percent of the ocean floor, coral reefs are home to over 25% of all marine life.
The primary reasons being, darkness, mechanical problems or defective equipment. Despite the investigations made by researchers, it is recorded that most of the disappearances occurred when the weather was favorable, in daylight after a sudden break in radio contact and these vessels and flights just vanished, without a sign. Skeptics would like to believe that these so called "mysteries" are the result of careless or biased consideration of data. Taking for instance, the case of Flight 19, the squadron commander was comparatively inexperienced and the commander failed to follow the instructions, the compass was faulty, and the aircraft was operating under conditions of deteriorating weather, visibility and low fuel supply. Though the scientific evaluations of the Bermuda Triangle have resolved that most of the disappearances have logical explanations, people are not convinced.
