She says the main reason she chose to be a nurse is because one night at church a little boy had cut his arm and as she bandaged him up God called her to be a nurse. Her second reason she became a nurse is her love for people and wanting to see others properly cared for.

It’s easy to tell that the ocean is a mysterious and isolating place from all of the tragic tales we hear from sailors both real and fictional. Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” and an anonymous author’s “The Seafarer” are quite similar in that they both revolve around said tragic tales told by sailors.

But before we can discuss these similar settings and deeper themes, we have to tackle their origins.

He believed if a person was going to been exceptional in life, they needed an exceptional name. This being said, she lived with her single mother, a lonely marine biologist, studying the coral reef growth patterns in the area. Because of this, her home was a sea boat. From the outside, the chipped whitely painted boat looked small in size, but inside the sailboat held two bedrooms, a bathroom with a shower, a tiny living room area and a pop out dinner table which also function as a desk for her. As long as Skylark could remember the boat had been their home, taking them around the world for her mothers job.
