Kendrick's Drilling: A Short Story

Paragraph 1 tone : He seems nervous about this trip He says ,“We’ve all been up since midnight, starting our predive checks after a couple of restless hours of sleep, and the whole team is running on adrenaline. These are the roughest conditions I’ve dived in so far on the expedition” The way he says that they’ve been up the whole night doing checks without sleep and how this is one of the roughest conditions he has dived in so far just gives the sense of nervousness if he will make the challenge.

”At the time of the attack I was in my room shaving. The word was passed "Away Fire and Rescue Party;" just as I was leaving my room the second word was passed for all hands to man their General Quartets Stations closely followed by a shock of a hit. I glanced at my clock as I was leaving my room and noticed the time was a few minutes before 8:00 A.M. I started for my station in Radio Central; as I was passing along the third deck up a port ammunition passageway, I felt two more hits. The lights went out in the passageway except for one battle light and two panel lights in the boat crane machinery space. By the time I reached the compartment abreast the armory the ship had picked up a ten to fifteen list to port; there were a couple of battle lights on in this compartment. Water and oil were bubbling up along the junction of the bulkhead and deck of the electrical work shop, port side”(D.L. Westfall)

The documentary starts off with a violent attack in 2010 on the parks most experienced trainer Dawn Brancheau, Dawn was dragged into the water, mauled by the 5000-kilogram orca Tilikum. Dawn’s story was the called ‘premise’ of the documentary, that is the scenario and question that drives the action of the documentary. The question is, why would a highly intelligent animal bite the hand that feeds it? The rest of the documentary explores different situations of Orca attacks in the sea park industry as it attempts to determine why these attacks are more frequently becoming a regular occurrence throughout today’s day and age. They explore this through researching on what the orca’s life was like before

The number of men that accompany McMurphy are twelve; the same number of Christ's disciples, many of whom were fishermen . During the fishing the men come into themselves, following McMurphy's lead when he uses the `advantage' in Harding's words of mental illness to intimidate and outwit two gas-station attendants ` The doc wouldn't lie like that about just any patients, but we ain't ordinary nuts; we're every bloody one of us hot of the criminal insane ward, on our way to San Quentin.' As the men and the doctor grow in confidence McMurphy retreats further into the background , allowing the men to individually challenge themselves and grow. For example when there are too few life jackets McMurphy does not do as most heroes would and go without, instead he forces another of the men to do so and assert themselves, in the Chief's words ` It started slow and pumped itself full, swelling the men bigger and bigger.'

In 1970, a man by the name of John Crowe was a diver and he would go out and capture baby killer whales for Sea Land theme park, which is now Sea World. To capture the whales, they used speedboats, bombs, aircraft, and nets. He explained how the whales knew they were being captured so the pods would separate the moms and babies together and males would go in a different direction. The aircrafts could see where the mom and babies were so the speedboats were directed that way. John explained how when they captured a baby the moms and the other whales would stick around the boats crying and communicating back and forth. He starts crying while saying he felt like he was kidnapping, and that he did not realize what he was doing was wrong until that

Most often the core of characters whom we refer to as “the men” come across as an undifferentiated whole: a single unit rather than a collection of individuals each with a personality and unique assets. As members of the military they accepted the enterprise as the “Lewis and Clark Expedition” (and today we appreciate that it was called such, and not a listing of all 35-or-so names in the party). As human beings, however, they were individuals with individual names and individual experiences, and each had their own individual story to

Toward the end of 1948, the Harpenau’s realized that the new technology was advancing past their old mining practices; the crew began to remove the equipment and track from the Christmas Mine. The once believed, “safe mine,” now shows signs of just the opposite. One story that proves the mine unsafe was that a wooden pole propped gently against the ceiling one day wouldn’t budge just days later. On the calm morning of December 16, 1948, the 12 employees of the Christmas Coal mine, continued to remove the expensive metal track along with the last layer of coal. Jacob Harpenau, in charge of the Christmas Mine, had a reputation that is one to look up to. He was known to never send anyone to do a job that he wouldn’t do. He held true to his reputation

The stereotypes of men shown in this show are assertive, ambitious, brave, independent, and strong. The men are Abe, and Jeremiah. In their culture the men are supposed to be strong minded, body, and in character. The men are the ones that do all the hard labor. Like cutting wood, and cleaning the horse’s stables, they are the ones who bring home the bread. They are

For purposes of character and plot development, the men in the story are superfluous for the most part. Their major contribution to the story is their good-natured contempt

Since the narrator missed his first dinner on the ship, he sets off to tour the ship and meet more of the crew members. Meanwhile, during the first dinner, Captain Watson dines with the crew and tells them stories about his encounters from the Japanese. One of the events that Watson talked about was during 1979.
