The Rogue Wave Summary

At 15, AC joined a friend’s neighborhood gang called Hoodstarz. Sahiah was also a member, but by 2011 she had left to run with a different crew, the Wave Gang. Their friends think her switch had to do with a new boyfriend who was in the Waves, and that, to make good on it, she decided to shoot one of her former allies from Hoodstarz.

For centuries, mariners have spread stories about giant sudden waves which appeared out of nowhere without warning which were strong enough to capsize even the mightiest and largest ships. Several vessels—such as the S.S. Waratah, the M.S. Munchen, and the S.S. Edmund Fitzgerald—were all rumored to have been sunk by rogue waves (Walsh par. 3). Further, rogue waves have been blamed for ripping the bow off of a Norwegian freighter near the tip of South Africa in 1974, almost capsizing the Queen Elizabeth in 1942 off the coast of Greenland, striking the Queen Elizabeth H in 1995, and for swamping military aircraft carriers and tearing tankers in half (McDonald A21). These waves have also been immortalized in popular culture, as

On the Captain’s order, the oiler rows the boat directly toward the shore. The boat capsizes and the people on the boat are so weak that it is hard for them to even keep their heads above water.

    Swaying on the sea was the ship. It stayed there proudly, the sheep’s head on it giving it a kind impression. Inside this kind ship slept a crew of only 7; Monkey D. Luffy, the straw-hat wearing captain; Roronoa Zoro, the green haired first mate and swordsman; Nami, the orange-haired navigator; Usopp, the lying sniper; Sanji, the lady loving cook; Chopper, the reindeer doctor; and Robin, the smart archaeologist

They are so consumed with their struggle against the waves they do not even have the time to notice something as simple as the color of the sky. From the very beginning the reader is filled with the suspense that each individual character feels. Despite the crews struggle with Mother Nature, they are continually struck by the fierce waves. With each passing wave the reader is lead to believe that this one will surely be the one that capsizes the little dingy. “As the salty wall of water approached, it shut all else from the view of the men in the boat, and was not difficult to imagine that this particular wave was the final outburst of the ocean (256).” Crane creates suspense between the reader and the characters that allow both to feel the relentlessness of nature’s indifference of their struggled attempts to survive. It seems that no matter how hard the crew works to keep the dingy from capsizing “… the waves continued their old impetuous swooping at the dingy, and the little craft, no longer underway struggled woundily over them (259).” The narrator describes the waves as acting carefree and rather impulsive as if they had no obligation to the men for their survival. Nature does not care that this crew of men were working to survive, but nor does it mean to cause the men any harm. The waves are merely there, doing as nature intends the waves

P.W. Singer and August Cole’s 2015 novel, Ghost Fleet, demonstrates how the American military’s trending dependence on high-tech, networked warfighting may be vulnerable to foreign near-peer and hybrid threats. Merging expertise from Washington-based foreign policy think tanks and defense technology sectors, the authors weave a fictional, yet plausible depiction of a near-future war featuring the United States, China, and Russia.

This storm was big. The waves reached 25-30 feet at the peak of this “Nor'easter”, coming over the sides of the Edmund Fitzgerald and eventually sinking the ship. According to the NOAA the wind was 30-45 knots (35-52 miles per hour) and 50 knots (58 miles per hour) on the Eastern part of Lake Superior, where the Edmund Fitzgerald was located (www.weather.gov). Other ships on the lake reported waves about 16-18 feet. The captain of the Edmund Fitzgerald had a conversation with some of the crew members on the Arthur M. Anderson, another smaller ship on Lake Superior. Around 7:10 pm the Arthur M. Anderson contacted the Fitzgerald for the last time before the Edmund Fitzgerald sank. The Anderson was riding approximately 10 miles behind the Fitzgerald when they lost sight of it. The first mate of the Anderson, Morgan Clark, asked the Fitzgerald how they were holding up, Captain McSorley replied, “We’re holding our own.” Many people know these as the “last words” by the mighty Fitzgerald. This is the story told to reporters from the crew of the Arthur M.

Up until then, they were just folklore. These “walls of waves” appear out of nowhere which can be around 33% larger than a mundane wave. Mundane waves have a swelling appearance that allows vessels to travel on them, even high ones. However, rogue waves are much, much steeper. The following is a piece from Captain Warwick’s log. He was leading the Queen Elizabeth II in 1995. “At 0410 the rogue wave was sighted right ahead, looming out of the darkness from 220°, it looked as though the ship was heading straight for the white cliffs of Dover. The wave seemed to take ages to arrive but it was probably less than a minute before it broke with tremendous force over the

Three days later, after they set sail all of the passengers felt a rumble and heard a loud crash. First she heard people scream, then laughing. Mary, ruth and Helen ran out of their cabins and went to Captain Edward J. Smith. “What happened?! They asked. “Oh it’s

With Tom only passing through on his way to Janus, he didn’t see much of Isabel but a nice dinner with some people from town. When Tom arrived at the lighthouse, where he was now

To add on, the book version of the story is more powerful than the movie version because the character development is stronger in the book than in the movie. The character development in a story affects the plot in a dominant way. The reason for this is because the characters are the people who choose what action that they want to take in the story, which has an impact on the plot. For example, in The 5th Wave, Cassie Sullivan is the main protagonist in the story. At the beginning of the book, Cassie worked solo, meaning she didn’t partner up or associate with anyone else on her journey of finding Sam. Later on in the book, when Cassie meets Evan Walker, she learned how to tell the difference between people that you could trust, and people that you can’t
