Captain Nemo is a serious, slightly rude, dynamic character. He changes a lot throughout the book. At first, he is very introverted and likes to keep to himself. Around the end of the book, before he leaves the three guys on an island, he starts to reach out to others, especially Arronax. I think he started to get frightened that he would become attached to Arronax, and that's why he threw them off. He didn't want anything to get in the way of his explorations. Captain Nemo's physical character looked very strong and tall. He has a nice straight nose and wide-set eyes. He is thought to be about forty years old, yet you can't really tell by the way he acts. The Captain doesn't like dry land, and especially hates it when there is no

Robinson Crusoe is a man who was lost in the world, stuck at home with his parents, he was expected to be a lawyer, but his heart longed for the sea. Crusoe eventually left home, without telling his parents what he planned.

First off i would like to state a well known quote known by all Marines, "Non Commissioned Officers (NCO's) are the backbone of the United States Marine Corps." Without the NCO's the Marine Corps could not function. This quote alone holds a great deal of history as well as gives a brief discription of what a Marine NCO truely is.
Joseph Conrad once said, “It is the mark of an inexperienced man not to believe in luck”. Nailer, the main character of Paolo Bacigalupi’s book Ship Breaker, wasn’t born lucky, he was born a ship breaker. Ship breakers are child and adult laborers who spend their days starving, poor, and working away to take the anything valuable off old ships for the big companies. Throughout Nailer’s life, he has suffered through various unfortunate events. However, with a strong belief of luck and having other superstitions, his life becomes more manageable. In Ship Breaker, Paolo Bacigalupi demonstrates that being superstitious and believing in various degrees of luck allows people to more easily feel in control of uncontrollable situations.

Marlin arrives as Nemo is on the quest to touch it when Marlin yells, “Nemo get your fins back over here right now you are going to get hurt”. Nemo stops as he gets to the boat and hollers back, “Watch me”. Nemo touched the “butt” and slowly starts to swim back to the school when a mesh like structure circles Nemo. Instantly Marlin shoots out to the open sea not thinking about his phobia of being exposed in the open water, because the only thing he is thinking of is saving his son. Nemo frantically swims in circles not knowing what to do yelling out “Dad help me, Dad!” It was too late because by the time Marlin got to the scene Nemo was taken into their boat and the boat took off for good. Marlin tried going after the boat but he was no match compared to the speed of the boat. This gives Marlin a sense of evil towards the boat and slightly towards his son. While Nemo was in the boat getting taken away he realized that he should have listened to his dad realizing that his dad gave him a good life lesson.

This book uses a lot of literature and fabricated stories, but the reason for this is because there is not a lot of documentation of pirates. Some facts have been changed around while the stories were being retold, and this is the main point of the book; to get back to the root of who pirates really were. One example of pirate mentality is when Captain Cary’s ship was attacked by
To select a captain, pirates would look to those who lead by example. Valuable assets for a captain would include him being “Superior in knowledge and boldness” and have “Undaunted courage and excellent conduct” (Valler) It was also good to have a captain skilled in chasing and capturing a vessel with as little damage as possible to the ship and her cargo.

Certain events are elaborated upon which further developed Equiano's character. Among them are the encounters that the author had aboard Captain Pascal's ship. As mentioned before, Equiano's life differed greatly from the typical slaves. Due to the fact that he spent most of his time traveling across the Atlantic, he and every other man, regardless of race, was under direct and clear orders. All had a function to fulfill aboard ship, and if a free man or a slave failed in his assigned task, they would be penalized. Furthermore, due to the fact that ships usually consisted of all-male groups, the sailors all shared the rough life of having to prove their masculinity and deal with everyday competition of strength and courage. Equiano was quick to learn this and before long he was called upon deck and paired with
