Mount Vesuvius-Personal Narrative

When we were trying to cross the river the current picked up and I fell a couple of times because it started raining, and I could feel the rocks when I hit the ground and I could taste the fishy water. But there was no lightening so we kept swimming in the river for a long time. While we swimming down stream Will saw a bridge and he wanted to go there. Right when we saw the bridge it thundered it was so loud that I could hear it like it was right in my ear. Then I yelled “Let’s just go up to where we started out at.” Will screamed “Let’s go up to the bridge and see what it’s like.” So I went back up to camp where we started out at and Will went to check out the bridge to see what it was like.

“[The salmon] were already dying. The change from salt to fresh water had turned their flesh rotten” (75). While these two uses of metaphorical language occur years and dozens of pages apart, they both paint a grim picture of what lies in store for Toby. As Toby and his mother crossed the Continental Divide, likely one of many landmarks passed on the long journey from Florida to Utah, the car “boiled over again” (1). As the pair waited for the engine to cool, they heard the shrill wail of an airhorn from above.

While their whole group was sailing on the Mayflower many of the people got very sick and ended up dying in plain sight of others, the dead bodies were thrown into the ocean. This would affect the other colonist lives especially for the children that were there and were coming to an unknown country now fatherless or motherless and

Another sentence that shows empathy is Crew and passengers desperately tried to hoist the ten ton lifeboats .

We approach the final rock, and I try paddling around it. The current is too strong, and I go flying directly over it. My boat flipped over in mid-air, and I am submerged under the water for what felt like an eternity. I make it above the water, just to be hit by the boat coming in behind me. It knocked me right in the head, leaving a bruise.

Despite the original quest the new quest is more substantial and it is to survive being stranded at sea with dangerous zoo animals. His love and care for animals comes to a sudden halt; He has to fight and survive like an animal. There is one moment in the story where all his developed instincts were challenged. He was met with a school of flying fish that would jump out of the water and into the lifeboat. He had wrapped one fish in a blanket and intended to kill it with a hatchet.

We went by boat. When we go there we played for a while and then had our picnic. Once it was time for us to go home we realized that the boat had already gone and we were left stranded. I became emotional and started to cry as I so badly wanted to go home. My friend Simon had an idea and suggested that we use pebbles to spell out the word h.e.l.p on the shore.

a loud voice boomed from the sky "STOP" it called out. It was Ceres! She had heard her daughter 's cries for help and had come to save her! Her voice was so loud, so fierce, it blew the king of the crocodiles to the far east end of the garden. He was blown so far that he would spend an eternity trying to crawl back to his watering hole.

And I pulled the cord and we hit the water and Ethan and Tyler grabbed a paddle as I looked for anything to keep us warm I had two coats on for some reason so i took them off and gave one to Marissan and Amanda. Then the other one to Kendal and Andrea. For some reason there was a third paddle and i picked it up and started paddling I didn’t know where we were going but I passed
