Missing sailors rescued from Pacific island after SOS signal spotted in the sand

I do not know much about the author based on the article but I think she knows it a good story and she likes to write about happy things such as rescues at sea. This is a very reliable piece because there are tons of pictures of the beach they were rescued off of and it has the three men standing on the beach waving their hands. There is also a quote from the commanding officer that was ahead of the small operation, saying he was very proud. There is not a lot of controversy in this article because there are no sides but it shows the good in the world and that is why I chose it. I did not want to pick a political article because they stress me out, to be honest, and they are no fun to read because you don't know what's true.

This post got me thinking about all the other islands in these massive oceans because anyone could get stranded and never be found. I am glad there are aircrafts that go over these places just in case someone has screwed up and have no way to communicate or get back to where they came from. The great and quick thinking by the guys was very impressive and it helped them get saved and get back to their families.

5. What areas do you still need to work on? Why are these areas important?

Some areas I need to work on is probably the poetry section and literary analysis. The Lord of the Flies was kind of a hard read for me for some reason. There were so many things that were going on and it was hard to find themes and write about a literary element. This is important because the books are just going to get harder and harder to comprehend and write about. Also if there was a paper to write about what you thought the theme was and why, I would need to know how to write about a theme and first identify it. Another area I need work on is the poetry section. I had a very good performance on the test and the terms but I need work on the terms and how to apply them to my writing. The terms assonance, consonance, and sibilance are very similar because they are all about sound or the repetition of a letter. There are so many types of poems and I need to work on writing all kinds poems no matter the standards.

Hits and Misses

Water Skiing For the First Time In June of 2016, my friend’s dad had received a great deal on a new boat for their summer home in Pass Christian, Mississippi. Their home was moderately new and had only been theirs for about two months. They had invited me and my family over to the home over the weekend and wanted me to learn how to water ski. I was very excited to have this opportunity, but also a little nervous. The plan was to leave the next day on a Friday night. That night, my family and I had arrived to their summer home around half past seven. My friend’s family greeted us and dinner was ready for us right when we walked in the door.     After dinner, my friend had helped me unpack my clothes for the weekend. He said the boat was parked out in Bay St. Louis close to their house. He said that we were going to have a great time with our families on the water. The next morning we had driven out to the bay to start our day on their new boat. When we arrived I was amazed...
