Behind The Waves-Personal Narrative

At that time, I felt like a rookie sky diver preparing for his first plunge. The cabin door opens to reveal the extreme distance of his fall, which leads to either sheer excitement or eventual death. The naivete that sheltered his fear disappears at the sudden reality of the moment. By then, of course, it is much too late to turn back. The very thought that this was his idea seems absurd to him, and he feels like the only person on the face of the planet. And so he closes his eyes, takes a deep breath, and

The had 50 rain jackets to make the raft and they made paddles out of wood.” In the middle of the of the narration I got lost so I don’t know what happened next. After the narrating was over, me and my dad walked around the island, it was a beautiful sight! You could see the golden gate bridge and the water underneath, clouds in the sky the sun was bright my dad said

I didn't stop screaming until whatever was climbing me hovered in front of my face. Again, a silvery-blue creature in the shape of a snake was poised in a striking position inches from my nose. Light began to pour through the shape like a disco ball. The snake thing drew back and I squeezed my eyes shut, waiting for a strike in the face.

After everybody’s out of the water it is silent like the previous attack not necessarily calm but perhaps subdued shock.

The weather was decent, but evening was approaching and it was getting chillier. A lay on my stomach and steady the tube as Noah gets on. We grab on to the handles in front of us and the tube is propelled forward by the boat. We started picking up speed, but it was still easy to stay on the tube. We started reaching speeds of up to forty miles per hour. It was amazing, the water flashed by on either side. We were still going straight but we were ramping off waves. The water splashed in my face every time we went airborne and landed again, but I didn’t care. And then we started turning. We turned right, which was the side I was on. We just let the tube go where it wanted to go, but that was a mistake. The tube came closer to the gigantic wave made by the boat engine. We reamped of the wave, and I knew I was a goner. I began sliding off the tube, and I thought I was gone. Finally my body was flung into the water, but my hands had a firm grip on the handle bars. Uncle ralph slowed down enough so I could pull myself up on the tube. With most of my body soaking wet, and slippery. When we turned again we turned left. This time we tried to lean against the wave. The tactic worked pretty good, but me hit the wave again. Noah was gone in an instant. I look back and he is floating some ways back

The shock of water on his face shot him straight up, arms waving about. Then he came straight down like a rock. He surfaced and looked right at Freddy.

The sun shined on him, as it was going down at sunset.Then he saw the glimpse of the beast.Green scales,red eyes,and a broken wing.

“These guys were -- I think they were -- acting up because they were getting saved in all the pools. I don't know if they could swim -- they acted like they couldn't swim," Rodgers explained.

When I regained my senses, I abruptly turned around to see the boy collapsed near the edge of the harbor. My eyes filled with fear as the boy who was gazing towards the ocean had now collapsed on the dock and was covered in streaks of blood.

Months later the brothers and Frank were ready to break out. They were planning to do this in June since it's warmer and waters cooler. The group had life jackets, 2 rafts , and power

He finds himself submerged under frigid water. Without moving, his eyes scan the area. To his surprise, he finds nothing in sight. He stretches out his limbs and begins looking around. He is confused and stunned by the scene. The water, vividly clear blue, motionless and breathtaking host him and him alone. Not a fish, plant or rock in sight.

Of course, he may be the only thing alive on this island. It looked lush and at first appeared to be habitable. But no one and nothing was here. After the long struggle through the water, when he’d dragged himself on to the sand, shaking from a kind of cold that took root in the bone, he’d heard birds. He’d heard birds and deer and a river too. He’d lugged himself to where he had heard the river running. He’d made his quivering muscles take him towards the source but when he

That was when she saw him, clinging to a small piece of broken wood floating in the now dark waters. His golden eyes widened as he struggled to hang on, showing absolutely no signs of fear.
