The seventh man was only ten years old when it happened, he would'nt have been able to save K. no matter how hard he tried. K. walked out of his house when he saw the seventh man walking down the road while their town was in the midst of a typhoon, they walked down to the beach together and K. was caught up looking at something on the beach. The seventh man told K. that he needed to move because it was not safe, but K. was not paying attention to the wave coming up behind him. The seventh man ran away from K. yelling. Then the wave came. The seventh man barely had enough time to make it away himself, and with him only being ten he would not have been able to run and save K. without risking his own life too.

    In “The Seventh Man” the narrator loses a friend that he felt he could have saved. The man and his friend K were down by the ocean while they were in the eye of a huge storm. K was looking at stuff thrown on the beach by the storm, the man was watching for big waves and high winds. The man soon felt the wind start to kick up and saw a big wave getting closer to the shore. He yelled for K, but K wasn’t listening he was almost in his own world. The man started to run, but stopped and yelled for K again this time K heard him and started running but it was too late the wave crashed over K onto the shore. The wave took K out into the cold ocean water. They never found K’s body after that. The man couldn’t forgive himself for what happened to K and liced his life in fear of losing or hurting people.

In The seventh most important thing by Shelley Pearsall, Arthur T.Owens throws a brick at a local man that collects rubbish. Arthur and his sister always call him junk man, although they would later find out that his name is actually James hampton. After getting out of juvie, arthur has a long nerve wracking time in court to decide his punishment for throwing a brick at junk man. Instead of being sentenced to more time in juvie, junk man offers an alternative, he is sentenced to one hundred twenty hours of community service… working for him. He would pay off those hours every Saturday. “ One kid. One crime. One chance to make things right.”

In The Seventh Most Important Thing by Shelley Pearsall, Arthur is seen as a troubled kid, because of November’s accident. Of course it is not a normal thing to throw a brick at a random person, for no reason. Although Arthur claimed in front of a judge and jury that the reason he threw the brick was not the color of his skin, but because of the hat that he was wearing. The judge then sentenced him to 120 hours of working for James Hampton, the man hit with a brick, while he recovers from his injuries. Arthur goes through an adventure every Saturday. Exploring what is considered a “shady” neighborhood. Arthur’s views of Mr. Hampton change over the course of the 120 mandatory hours. Mr. Hampton is no longer seen as the “crazy junkman” but he’s

In “The Key to Disaster Survival? Friends and Neighbors,” Shankar Vedantam reports about a 2004 tsunami in which fishing boats were distributed. He says, “Fishermen who used to work together now became competitors. Trust broke down. Fights broke out.” (Vedantam 3). This situation accurately describes how one might change when trying to save or help oneself. People tend to forget about others and fend for themselves first. Consequently, the Seventh Man might have wanted to help, but he knew his life was at stake.

In the story “The Seventh Man” the author effectively uses imagery to convey that the best way to overcome your fears is to face them. When K was taken by the wave the seventh man stated that he saw K in “Its cruel, transparent tongue” of the wave. The seventh man could see K so clearly through the transparence of the wave that the Seventh man saw K with a big wide grin and K’s hand reaching out to reach out to the Seventh Man. The Seventh Man’s fear is the wave swallowing K and he couldn’t help K in any way ,but when he did it was already too late. K’s hand reaching out to grab the Seventh Man’s hand is a way for the Seventh Man to have an easy way out of overcoming his fear and to accept that his fears will be there forever. instead of being

Imagine you and your friend were in a life or death situation and you survived. However, your friend did not. Would you feel guilty about your friend’s death, or would you be able to forgive yourself? In the story “The seventh man” the narrator and his friend K were in a dangerous situation. The narrator survived but his friend got swallowed by a wave. The narrator felt bad that he did not save K. He should forgive himself because it wasn’t his fault. They were just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Everyone makes mistakes, and nobody’s perfect. In the story The Seventh Man, The narrator has friend named K. A typhoon hits where they live and everyone has to get in their homes and take cover. They come into the eye of the storm and have a break from the roaring winds and enormous waves and amounts of rain. The narrator decides to adventure down to the beach to check out the aftermath of the first part of the storm. K joins the narrator and the two friends head down to the beach. As the boys are looking through all the debris the winds start to pick up again, the waves starts rolling in bigger and bigger. The narrator tries to warn K but it's too late. He was taken by the Sea. That wasn’t the narrator's fault, he should be able to forgive himself because everyone

At the beginning of "The Seventh Most Important Thing" I think that most people would think that Arthur is a trouble maker, but if you actually read on then you would realize that Arthur is compassionate, self-disciplined, and helpful. First, I think that Arthur is compassionate because it seems like Arthur cares more about his family than his self. I think this because in the book, "When Arthur looked out the window and saw a cop car pull into their driveway late on Monday after-noon, his first panicked thought was that something bad had happened to his mom and Barbra." This tells me that he cares about his family's safety after what happened to his dad. Next, I think that Arthur is self-disciplined because he can tell what right and wrong

Hour seven: They got out of the forest and could see the city in the distance. “ Farren look!!“ Mya exclaimed and started running out if the forest

The narrator didn't also want to be killed but I think he should have. In the audio “The Key to Disaster Survival” They talked about how the neighbors saved their lives because they had just moved to the area and were not quite familiar with the area. Their neighbors knocked on their door and told them that a hurricane was coming and that they needed to get out. I feel that the narrator in “The Seventh Man” should have gone and grabbed K. since he was very week and I would not have been ok to watch something like that happen. “The Moral Logic of Survival Guilt” showed guilt. The narrator felt some guilt i’m sure but he should forgive himself “High on that list of emotions is guilt” (Sherman 153). That is why I think that he should just forget about not saving

In the paper, The Magical Number Seven, Plus or Minus Two: Some Limits on Our Capacity for Processing Information, George A. Miller points out the correlations between neural processing to recognize previously shown information and the amount of information that can actually be remembered. He presents several experiments done with unidimensional stimuli, where there is only one stimuli, and multidimensional stimuli, where there are more than one. In the first experiments talked about, only one sensory process was tested. For example, Pollack’s experiment tested the auditory sense and the ability to differentiate between pitches. Other experiments were recognized that included the other senses, taste and sight, and all the responses varied around the number six. After around six correct responses,

The Seventh Man has lived with the fear that he was the reason K died, He should’ve forgiven himself weeks after the incident because it wasn’t his fault.

My essay is about how the main character, Tom Ward, changed from the beginning of the beginning of the book to the end. At the beginning of the book, Tom was growing up on the farm and had never seen much action or danger. He was a cowardly and somewhat shy child. At the end of the book, Tom had faced many troubles and had been in danger many times. He learned to be brave and to stand up to his enemies.

“Let me see that,” Andrew said, “That is the clip my wife wears in her hair.” Rushing up the stairs, he returned shortly, “The one she wears is not on the dresser. That is hers.”
