The book in the other hand, gave more description of what the characters felt, provided a deeper understanding of the story, and had more detailed drama, which made it more thrilling. You see Fahrenheit 451 was a very enjoyable book, but the movie ruined it all. In the book Ray Bradbury gave deep profoundness to his characters. The way he used metaphors, similes, personifications and hyperboles was amazingly spectacular. This made the characters come to life.
Sharks, an animal that has survived multiple stages of extinction and surprisingly an extremely shy animal. The documentary Sharkwater by Rob Stewart is an extremely eye opening movie. The documentary primarily takes place in the Galapagos and the Cocos Island. During this video Rob shows the audience things that don’t get talked about on the news like shark attacks do. After watching the documentary I was shocked about what was happening to these animals and how big of an industry it is.
Two percent of the ocean has been overlooked by people ant it leaves ninety-eight percent of the ocean for the megladon can swim. This shark could be a very intelligent shark by possibly attacking its pray as fast as it can and head down the bottom of the big blue. The evidence has proven that there was a time this shark had lived because of the physical evidence shown by the teeth collected. The pictures clearly state that there is a mega shark out there and the eyewitnesses explained that a huge shark had been around in South Africa. There may come a time when this shark may make a mistake and show its self to the world with
The new workers had to endure blatant discrimination and be wary of labor recruitment schemes that promised jobs but stole what little, if any, money they had. Many Irishmen arrived without a cent, trying to escape the potato famine of the 1840s and 50s. Working on the rails was intensely hard work, always battling competition and suffering in crowded, shabby labor camps for shelter. Death from exhaustion, lack of medical and other supplies, illness and disease was a constant threat and reality. Contractors frequently exploited and abused them, to the point where there were abundant violent riots, giving the Irish their fighting reputation.
Stated in the book, The Jungle, based on real events, a young boy is left in a factory overnight and is eaten by rats. This horrific event is graphic yet shines light on the harsh reality of life for a factory worker of yesteryear. Workers would often fall ill to the unsanitary working conditions yet would still come to work yet to infect even more workers, practically making the factory a biohazard. Workers lived in poverty dispute their long work hours and many children developed mental or physical defects due to these horrible conditions. Needless to say, the life of these factory works were far from easy.
58,000 American lives were lost in the muggy jungle hell of Vietnam. Mere children thrown into the rage of war, expected to be strong, to be men, to be able to deal with the death and destruction, were “humping” their way through the shrapnel and land mines for a cause even they weren’t entirely sure of. Tim O’Brien writes of such horrors in his short story “The Things They Carried”. Through the things the soldiers carried, O’Brien tells a riveting tale of horror, destruction, duty, and a shred of hope in a very frightening place. The things they carried meant more than anything else when the smell of napalm permeated the air and the threat of death was lingering over-head.
Dense clouds of insects clamor for blood, and armies of natives mass around the fluorescent lights of a storefront in a frenzy to get inside, or the lonely beam of a flashlight in the jungle. The insatiable, minimally rational and barely-human appetites that drive the indigenous people of the novel are, finally, best embodied by the tribe of sinister cannibals who keep the scientists on their toes as they hover menacingly just on the margins of the story, at least until the novel's nail-biting eleventh hour, when Patchett propels them into position front and center.And yet, Patchett's greatest strength, her imagination, ultimately gives shape to a host of platitudes about the primitive pleasures and dangers that lie out there in the jungle. In "State of Wonder" Patchett writes with the confidence and authority of an author-explorer endowed with the power to imagine a universe divided into ill-mannered natives and the modern men and women from Minnesota who teach them table manners, instruct them in the art of wiping their feet before they get into bed, and train them to be docile subjects, "submitting themselves to constant weighing and measurement, allowing their menstrual cycles to be charted and their children to be pricked for blood
There is tension in the plot and in the ending, even when the first two attacks occurred a short while after the other. These attack continue consecutively make the audience feel that there are just going to be attacks one after another. it gives a impression to the audience and the characters that the beach is no longer safe to go swimming, even sunbathe has to be far away from the beach. The third attack on 4th July, which involving Brodys son was also a huge tension was building up this is because of the fake shark the boys made, which was an anti-climax. This was a thing the boys did because it cleared out the beach for the real attack.
Conditions of the Trenches The conditions of the trenches in WWI were unbearable. These conditions were unbearable because of the rats and the different gases that were released. Many soldiers died in the trenches due to the conditions, not just from fighting. There were rats down in the trenches. (Remarque 101) The rats ate all of the soldier’s food, and contaminated all of their belongings with droppings.
The trenches were cold and damp in the winter and often flooded by heavy rain. Oversized rats lingered around the trenches causing the spread of diseases as they were inflated by the food and waste of armies. Lack of hygiene also caused the spread of diseases. Soldiers caught lice which was later known to be the cause of trench fever which caused headaches, fevers etc. Many soldiers developed trench foot, a frostbite like infection that led to extreme pain and caused the feet to swell and turn black.
