Personal Narrative: My Hero's Death

490 Words2 Pages

I stared blankly into the salty ocean. I couldn’t hold my breath for much longer. My lungs were filled with water. I realized that I couldn’t just let myself die. Now, I took the initiative.

  • Anne Fadiman Under Water Summary

    1273 Words  | 6 Pages
