It was a great end for Billie showing his heroic skills, although he didn’t knew about it. A real definition of a hero was made in a difficult situation. Billie is just an average guy was on the boat. He had a moments where he doubted himself couple times. Times were hard when the other guys including the Captain had felt asleep, he still kept himself motivated.
He feels better after doing the right thing. After contemplating whether to help free Jim for a second time, Huck thinks about all the times Jim has been there for him and helped him and been selfless and cannot bring himself to not help free his friend. Furthermore “[Huck] struck the time [he] saved [Jim] by telling the men [they] had small-pox aboard, and [Jim] was so grateful” (223), making it almost impossible for Huck to
Joe’s father puts time and money into this fishing rod. As it says in the Bible “Where your treasure is there shall your heart be.” This is true for Joe’s father. Joe’s father has put his treasure or finances into the fishing rod. Yet his love for Joe allows him to give up his prized possession, the fishing rod, and allow Joe to use it while fishing with his friend. Syntax plays a huge role in developing Joes thoughts and feeling concerning his
Crane highlights the bond that so often develops among those facing great struggles “IT would be difficult to describe the subtle brotherhood of men that was here established on the seas. No one said that it was so. No one mentioned it. But it dwelt in the boat, and each man felt it warm him. They were a captain, an oiler, a cook, and a correspondent, and they were friends, friends in a more curiously iron-bound degree than may be common.” (“The Open Boat”).
I think that in a way, that was how Pi managed to survive the shipwreck. By not allowing things get to him and to just go with the flow, such as repairing the boat, or untangling his fishing lines and his bait. More importantly, remaining calm and self-assured after he was rescued and being chucked into our world helped him cope. The sloth always seems at ease. It seems slow but its moving at an excellent pace.
‘You see how many starfish there are? You’ll never make a difference.’ The boy paused thoughtfully, and picked up another starfish and threw it into the ocean. ‘It sure made a difference to that one,’ he said (45).” The Hawaiian parable, this had to be the most inspiring part of the book to me. Hearing stories of how one person was able to do all these incredible things to make life better for people, I still feel uninspired. I don’t have the resources those people do; I would think I’m wasting my time unless it turns into one of those really huge projects and organizations I keep hearing about.
The old sea dog has experienced the thrill and the adventure of the life of a pirate with a sabre scar on his cheek to prove it. Because the buccaneer was once first mate on a ship guided by Flint, a notorious pirate that invaded the sea, it lead him to numerous encounters from unwelcomed visitors in pursuit of his sea-chest. After Bones’s death, Jim and his mother searched the mysterious chest that many have been longing for and found Flint’s map along with other valuable as well as not so valuable items of Billy Bones’s belongings. Billy Bones’s death would definitely not be an unforgettable one, the real old salt has achieved a lot in life and his passing may open a door to others, maybe even because of the map in his
You feel mighty free and easy and comfortable on a raft.”(Twain 137) . This quote represents Huck’s courage well because it is showing Huck feels at home because he finally feels comfortable and has a friend. When Huck says “and I do believe he cared just as much for his people as white folks does for their'n. It don't seem natural, but I reckon it's so (777). This shows courage because Huck is going against the social norm of looking down on slaves.
My dad was always there for me, even when I was fed up with the pointless extra work or when conducting the labor side of the project. Throughout the story people always showed Odysseus help even when he doesn’t ask for it. When Odysseus and his men landed on Circe’s island they were shown great hospitality and given help by the people. The people even gave them anything they could ask for when they stated,” But now, since it is our land and our city that you have come to, you shall not lack for clothing nor anything else”. They showed him great hospitality and wanted to help his men no matter who they were.
It is very clear he is an educated and lucid man from his writing, and at first, it is natural to feel sorry for him – he has no home, and nothing to call his own, except his dog, Lizbeth, who it is clear he loves very much. However, as his story progresses, it is quite clear he is not looking for pity. He is simply sharing the tips and tricks of his trade, as any other worker would do. He does not want the reader to feel sorry for him, he simply wants them to understand what it is he does, and why. He makes Dumpster diving seem somewhat exciting and mysterious, rather than sleazy and disgusting.
