The Boat is a short story written by Alistair MacLeod in 1968. The story is narrated by a boy when after he has grown up and become a professor at Midwestern university in Cape Breton, east Canada. The narrator reflects on how events in his childhood have shaped the man he is today. He speaks about his family and the cold, frosty fishing community in Nova Scotia they belonged to. There is a somber tone and a presence of sadness, dismay and death throughout the extract. It is told in the first person, which allows for the emotions of characters to be expressed the most precise. This way, themes and symbols of the short story are carried across to the reader better. The narrator recalls his youthful teenage years as the only son, and youngest

One thing to watch out for is the temperature of the place you are storing your boat. Your boat is constructed with materials that can be sensitive to extremely cold or hot temperatures. For example, an extremely cold storage climate could cause wood to warp, and an extremely hot storage climate may compromise the boat’s overall structure due to the metals that can bend. The ideal temperature for

Winter tends to bring out the pack-rat in most people, especially when it comes to their cars. If your car is filled with unneeded items, start your spring car maintenance by cleaning and organizing the interior of your vehicle. To begin, rid your car of any extra winter gear you've stored in the backseat, and don't forget to relocate your ice scraper to your trunk. Before reorganizing your remaining items, take a few

Boats come in many different shapes and sizes. Though they can be fun toys, there is a lot that to consider when diving into the physics behind it. There many factors that need to be taken into consideration when building a boat, a few of the important ones are weight, rudders, the position of a rudder and the position in which a motor is placed. Each of these factors are what either make or break a boat.
A propeller that was commonly used on the boats was the simplest two appendaged dorsal placed in the above the water. This propeller’s was long in height and shorter in width. Another frequent dorsal was the propeller placed under water with some sort of “cage” to keep it stable. This propeller had a very short diameter and a larger width compared to the first propeller. Also, the appendages were curved in order for the water to be caught and thrust through the propeller.
Due to the corrosive nature of sea water, materials with high corrosion-resistant properties needed to be selected. Corrosion and wear are the main problems faced when designing in the in sea water (Wang et al., 2009). The due to the nature of the piston-crank concept, there are many moving parts and many parts that rub against each other. To keep these parts functioning properly, parts need to be lubricated. Because the assembly would be located on the ocean floor, lubrication cannot be used as it can become a possible
