Hopefully, you have started reading the excerpt in your textbook from The Perfect Storm and finding it to be a thrill a minute!
I'm providing links to images that I found interesting and may help you to put the story into perspective.
1. This link will take you to an image of the Satori, the 32-foot sailboat that's being rescued in the story. Remember, this thing was in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean in the midst of one of the worst storms in recorded history! Holy moly! http://nelie.hocking.edu/~geckler_e/SATORI/satori.jpg
2. This link will take you to an image of the Tamaroa, the ship that has been dispatched by the United States Coast Guard to rescue the Satori and the people on it. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/ff/USCGC_Tamaroa_WUEC-166_1990.jpg/300px-USCGC_Tamaroa_WUEC-166_1990.jpg
We will be discussing this in class tomorrow, so come prepared to talk!
IMPORTANT!!! READ THIS!!! --> Your short stories are due tomorrow, 09.25! Remember, you need to have evidence of prewriting, revising, and editing. We're talking 2 major grades here, people!
Happy writing!
Mr. Phillips
