Throughout all the testimonies, there were many similar things said by both the people who supported Captain Preston and also those who opposed him. One of the similar claims stated on both sides was that most of them said that they heard someone yelled out “fire”  from behind all the soldiers. Some people said that the person behind  the soldiers was an officer. Robert Goddard and William Wyat, both claimed that the officer in the back was Captain Preston. He denies that he called for the soldiers to shoot at the crowd and that it was on their own accord.

What is now nothing but cranes and machines that work like robots, used to once be so much more “On the Waterfront” of New York's harbor. To only imagine that what replaced all those robots were humans, makes it only obvious that the movie this workforce is about called “On the Waterfront” is long outdated. That doesn't mean that it has no value, because instead of just imagining we can actually visualize our longshoreman scrambling like ants to finish a day’s work.

A RPG was fired on Luttrell’s position and he was launched down the side of the mountain and he ended up breaking his leg and multiple vertebrae in his

Being one of his most famous works, On the Waterfront was an instant success, winning an abundance of awards and solidifying Kazan as one of the best and most influential directors of the early film-making era. Terry Malloy, the movies main character, was a middle-aged shore man who was caught up with the wrong group of people, which resulted in him being part of a mob hit. Throughout this film, Malloy battled his own self-conscious about him being a part of the killing of Joey Doyle, all the while being in a relationship with Edie Doyle, Joey’s sister. Finally, Terry decides to speak at a court hearing and gives crucial information that pointed directly to the mob being guilty of the killing.

On the morning of 16 April 2014, a horrible disaster known as ‘Sinking of MV Sewol’ occurred in South Korea. The most astounding part was that the ferry capsized while carrying 476 people, mostly secondary school students from Danwon High School. They were going on a happy school trip to the Jeju - island. Instead, they sink in deep Cold Ocean forever. It was shocking news for everyone, including myself. At first, it was not serious accident.

When I read the book ‘The finest hours’, I recalled the calamity. What made the situation different? How the four coast guards could make such a brave selfless decision? I analyzed Andy Fitzgerald-one of the crew member of rescuing Pendleton-what traits
