Three of the crew members desert the ship before the ship leaves, adding to the discontentment of the officers as well as the crew members. Shortly after the Bounty sets sail for the West Indies, Fletcher Christian leads the mutiny and forces Bligh and some of Bligh’s followers off the Bounty and onto a life boat. Bligh and his followers were striped of charts and compasses; all they were given was the life boat, the oars, a pocket watch, and a quadrant. Bligh and his eighteen followers barely survived the trip in the small boat to Timor, in the Dutch East Indies. Meanwhile, Fletcher Christian and the other crew members returned to Tahiti to reunite with their women and then set sail to Pitcairn Island.
Or will you spend all your money to send them on a tremendously unsafe and overcrowded leaky boat trip where they will most likely die? And if they make it, they’re be processed in safely? Those ‘boat people’ come from poor regions and spend their entire life savings trying to get on a boat to send their family off to countries to escape from oppression, war, persecution or poverty in their home nations since their won government is unable or unwilling to protect them. Therefore, they have got no other choice but to escape in haste, without the time or the accessible resources to apply for visas. It’d be the hardest decision they will ever make in their lifetime and could be something they would regret forever.
In 1981 my family attempted to escape from Vietnam. It has been estimated that over half the persons who tried to escape Vietnam by boat died at sea, more than a million persons. But even though it was dangerous we were willing to risk our life because the communist hated my family so bad that we could not survive in Vietnam. There were nine persons in my immediate family when we tried to escape by boat from Thuan An Beach in Hue. My Father, my mother, me, and four brothers, and two sisters tried to escape from Vietnam.
The ships captain had a drinking problem and on the night of the incident he was unfit to be in charge of the tanker and so left an unqualified crewmember in control. This inexperienced crewmember wouldn’t have collided with Bligh Reef if the ships RAYCAS radar had not been broken and disabled for more than a year before the disaster. The incorrect crewmember being in charge of the tanker (the third mate instead of Captain Joseph Hazelwood) and broken equipment played a huge role in the collision. Environmental Impacts Marine creatures were affected greatly by the spill as the toxic oil disrupted the food chain; the oil massively destroyed plankton numbers as it prevented sunlight from getting through the water (Plankton need to sunlight to grow, reproduce and ultimately end up as food for fish). Recent scientific studies have found that the fish developed gross deformities such as extra fins, or suffered from retarded development.
We have an extremely broad variety of race and culture that we all accept as equals. However, because of the occurrences on Ellis Island during the Great Migration, countless numbers of family members got “caught in the shuffle” so to speak. Several immigrants did not even make the journey over due to disease and lack of supplies on the ships which ultimately led to death. The lucky ones that did endure the diseases were then examined by a medical staff and were then sent back to their home countries. Once a person arrives by boat, goes through the medical examination, they are still not home free yet.
He was blamed after they found out that many men died because there were not enough lifeboats. As he was the owner of the ship, he was one of the first ones to get a seat with the women on the lifeboat because he knew that there werent enough. Many men were dragged off the lifeboats as they tried to get on with their wives but he had managed to get on it without getting dragged back. Many reports have indicated Bruce Ismay bribing Thomas Andrews ,the ships designer, to decrease the watertight compartment so that there would be more first class seats.The main reason why people were agitated with him was because he survived the tragedy. Survivors of the Titanic were furious with him because there were not enough lifeboats for all the passengers on board.
Conroy’s life is very much an influence on his writing. The experiences that he has gone through, both good and bad, create spectacular stories with overwhelming detail. Growing up, their father physically abused Conroy, his mother, and siblings. Pat, being the oldest, got it worse then anyone else. By 1970 he had published his first book, The Boo, and married Barbara Boiling, a Vietnam War widow with two daughters.
Life of Pi tells the story of young Pi Patel, retelling his spiritual journey. Whilst doing so, he found himself in the midst of a tragic freak accident, which killed his immediate family onboard the Tsitsum. “The Ship sank....Every single thing I’ve valued in life has been destroyed.” (Martel, Life of Pi) With ship’s sinking, and Pi simply floating in a life boat, he has completed the first requirement for his Spiritual Journey; he’s been isolated away from society. Jesus has chosen to disconnect himself from society, due to his feeling that it was the right thing to do, as staying amongst people would cause too many distractions, and he would fail to do that which he had set out to do. And after fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry.
The “copper sky” and “bloody sun” physically drain the accompanying sailors until they become too exhausted to wake up leaving the Mariner in agonizing isolation (Coleridge 111, 112). Ironically, the crewmen die from lack of hydration even though they are surrounded by water. Likewise, humans can drink endless amounts of water, but the only way to quench the thirst of the soul is through Jesus. A reminder that our actions not only affect us, but the people around us too, is the dead sailors. Sin has a ripple affect that leads to
Since my accident I had when I was little my anxiety grew and made things worse so knowing in my life I know I have failed many times and the felling is good somethings but something bad. I will never forget when I had my first panic attack and will never forget my accident I had and the surgery that I was awake in feeling all those needles go in my mouth made me feel emotions I have never experienced. So the lesson for this kids is to never run when your at the pool but when we think of success is knowing you did something wrong but it teaches you a lessons in life to control my anxiety better and learn my lesson that I
