The first night was rough, mosquitoes clouded around their shelter and made it hard to breathe, but after a while they became immune to the bites and the buzzing. While searching or a sustainable source of food, Brian fell into a canyon that held fish and other underwater creatures. After setting traps and collecting food, Brian and Derek come across a huge tree and a hole in the ground. The tree would provide them protection from the rain that would soon come, and the hole would provide them a shelter to sleep in.

They need somewhere to stay the night and they stay in a cabin in the back woods of

The book is littered with explanations about fishing. I admit that I frequently got lost in these passages. This knowledge is an important element of the story. When a component of the boat malfunctions, readers know the significance of this to the sailors. Without this, the book would have provided a message that only other sailors could understand. Junger, by supplying this information, wants to make sure that all readers can fully grasp the danger and suspense of the book.

The short story “The Boat” by Alistair MacLeod is narrated by a man who comes from a fishing family. His mother’s side of the family has forever lived and worked by the sea and continues this tradition. The narrator’s father always wanted to be an academic, but worked on the boat to support his family. Through this passage it is evident that the parents’ characters clash in many aspects of their lives and are in constant conflict. MacLeod demonstrates this through the use of repetition, the contrast in other unrelated ideas, and through information that is withheld.

The short story The Boat by Alistair MacLeod is narrated by a man who comes from a fishing family. His mother’s side of the family has forever lived and worked by the sea and continues this tradition. The narrator’s father always wanted to be an academic, but worked by the sea to support his family. The parents’ characters seem to clash in many aspect of their lives and this is very evident in the passage.

Would you sacrifice your life and happiness for someone else to give them a life of perfection? Alistair Macleod; raised in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, known as the protagonist and author of The Boat began to realize that his happiness isn't the only thing that matters. He told his father that he will stay by his side as long as he lived. Then he was suddenly gone. Alistair had no idea whether his father left because the sea wasn’t the right life for Alistair, or for himself. In The Boat Macleod conveys the idea that sacrificing happiness for another can ultimately lead to internal and external destruction through the use of irony, the protagonist's journey, and symbolism.

The world that Charles Frazier bases his novel, Cold Mountain, on is ridden with hardship and desolation. People in this world are either forced into war or subject to isolation. Main characters Inman and Ada seek to find comfort in each other in this horrible, decrepit world. In this novel, Frazier demonstrates the human condition in the characters’ need for love, companionship, and family.

The setting of Alistair Macleod’s short story, The Boat, complements the setting of Alden Nowlan’s poem, Warren Pryor.  Each of these writing pieces contain the element of a smaller town with a tight knit community.  In the short story The Boat, our community is a Nova Scotian community whose primary industry is fishing.  This results in most of the members of the community partaking in the fishing lifestyle.  Another influential location this writing piece takes place in is inside of the house, “which was one of about fifty that marched around the horseshoe of [his] harbour,” (Macleod 263).  Most of the homes in this town are situated close to the water as it is there where most of the men work as fishermen.  Inside the house was his father's room where “magazines and books covered the bureau,” (Macleod 265).  It was in their father’s room where the children discover their love of reading and become more dedicated to their schooling.  Both the short story and the poem contain the setting of a school, which is symbolic as it is their education that allows the characters to be free of their obligations and the way of their town.  Finally, the setting takes place on the Jenny Lynn, “she was what Nova Scotians called a Cape Island boat and was designed for the small inshore fishermen,” (Macleod 262) and it is on this boat where the father and son make their final journey out to sea.  Likewise, the poem Warren Pryor takes place in another resource based community, however, this

Many leaders past and present in society have influenced the development of Army leadership. One of the most influential leaders is James Earl Rudder. Rudder enlisted in the U.S. military in 1932 as a commissioned officer in the Army Reserves right after completing his degree in industrial education from Texas A&M. In 1933, Rudder became a teacher and taught football at Brady High School later becoming a football coach and teacher at Tarleton Agricultural College. Rudder married Margaret Williamson in June 1937 whom he had five children. Rudder was called to active duty in 1941, approximately two years after the start of World War II (WWII). In 1943 as a Lieutenant Colonel (LTC) Rudder took command of Second Ranger Battalion, later named Rudder’s Rangers (Todd IV & Knape, 2010).

Embers flew from the campfire, and into the starry night sky; meanwhile, the campers, Jackie, Carl, and Jim, sat close to it for warmth. “Now who's ready for a campfire story?” said Jackie. “You can sometimes go a little overboard, so Carl is taking the wheel.” Carl continued, “Once upon a time” Jim screams, and Carl rolls his eyes at Jim, “May I proceed,” He responds rhetorically. By the time Carl finishes the scary story, Jim has already dashed into the tent, startling his dog, a basset hound named Roxy. Carl along with Jackie look at each other in regretful worry, as they walk towards Jim's tent.

Even though this world is a horrible place to live in and bad things happen every single day this world still continues to amaze me with how evil it has become. Last year there was a shooting in Florida 2016, with 49 people killed and 58 people injured. We as a nation didn't think it would get worse and if it did, not so soon. It is no surprise that this world is getting worse and worse, because Jesus said it would before He came back. Even though we knew this world would get worse we didn't know how. Now we are seeing how evil man has truly become.

The East India Company was government regulated by the British. The company even had its own which was led by the British officers. The army contained sepoys which is another name for the Indian soldiers. Mountstuart Elphinstone stated that, "a delicate and dangerous machine, which a little mismanagement may easily tun against us". It seemed as though later down the road, his statements would become a reality. The outbreak of the Sepoy Mutiny would prove him correct. A large uprising would occur over northern India, fights would break out. The Sepoy Mutiny would mainly be fought between the British and the sepoys.
