There was no organised effort to mitigate or respond to such incidents. The incident helped in the establishment of an emergency system to respond to similar disasters. The people who were affected by the fire tried to shelter from the intensity of the flames but most of them died. Survivors sought refuge in rivers and wetlands to avoid the scorching heat. When the fire subsided, relief from organisations and other well-wishers was provided to these people.

Laurie Colwin (1944-1992) was born in Manhattan, New York. She was a prolific writer and her very first works were published in the New Yorker. Her first short story collection was published in 1974. Her stories were written about love, relationships, and being happy in general, however, this story “The Man Who Jumped into the Water” is quite a bit different from the others. Hiding behind a persona to get away from reality can lead someone to a breaking point because a person 's troubles catch up to them.

Brian Doyle is the author of The Wet Engine, which is a novel that includes the short story, “Joyas Valadoras.” His works were inspired by his child, who is missing a chamber of his heart. This story uses metaphors about whales and hummingbirds to show how all people have one similarity despite their many external differences. In “Joyas Voladoras,” Brian Doyle suggests that experiencing pain and hardship is an inevitable part of life.

Furthermore, the aspect of discovery can also be conveyed in a different ways. The fact that sometimes people, like myself, are being forced to find a new place which can result a negative and positive emotional impact, or future possibilities. In ‘The Little Refugee’, Bruce Whatley illustrates a small shabby boat jam-packed with worried people who are desperate to find new life and hope, whereas Hurley’s his discovery was being forced by his inner-life. Dull and grey-black smoky colours symbolize the overwhelming fear as seen through the body language of the people. And the dominance of the stormy clouds adds to the uncertainty, and the salience draws our eyes to the boat, helping us to easily relate to the terrifying encounters.
During my nurse training it has become apparent that the care patients receive in an emergency situation is critical upon time and organised, effective team working. It is essential that in a trauma situation, the trauma team be activated only when necessary (Au and Holdgate, 2010). After researching the trauma team activation criteria, it appears there is some discrepancy as to what criteria is used to activate the team, be it a two or three tiered system, or a different system entirely (Tinkoff and O’Connor, 2002). There is also relevant discussion as to who should make the decision on whether the trauma team is activated or not (Clements and Curtis, 2012). I have chosen to look into the activation process further, as it is of upmost importance
Going against all odds and ignoring the fact that one may not make it through to the end but, are just as determined that this person you barely know does. In the story, The Man In the Water, the man is just that the authors main theme is going unselfish and being strong when nobody else can. To begin, the theme that the author from The Man In the Water, is trying to portray is being brave and unselfish. Right after the plane had crashed Rosenblatt’s description of the man made an impression and makes one astonished. He was
The author gave evidence from news story rescue missions in 2014. Speaking of, a family that was vacationing nine-hundred miles from the coast of Mexico, when their child became very ill, explaining that this rescue mission took extreme measures like; the “US Navy, Coast Guard, and the California Air National Guard,” (126) to add to this the author voiced another story, about a caver that was 4,000 feet underground, when a rock fell and struck him, keep in mind that this “took rescue
The extreme heat of the Haitian sun beamed on our backs as we made our way down to the river to wash our clothes. Pierre called out to me “Hey Akello come here, I found something!” I rushed over to Pierre and looked in the murky water. He pushed me into the river and I felt the cool water surround me. We both had a good laugh before he extended his hand to help me up; I took it and pulled him into the water with me.

The slippery, jagged rocks were calling my name as I anxiously awaited my turn to cross the unruly Nicaraguan river placed before me. Fear began to set in as I devised a strategy to cross the river’s frigid waters. Afterward, I carefully placed my foot into the feral water and began to slip. While trying to regain my footing, a welcoming hand reached out to my impotent body. The hand belonged to a masterful and stealthy boy.
The story “The Handsomest Drowned Man in the World” is a story about a small village that was very lowkey and didn’t have much going on most of the time, until one day while children were out playing on the beach and saw a man washed up ashore and eventually more adults found this man and brought him into their homes. While the men were out looking and checking to see if it were one of their own people, the women of the village were preparing his body for a proper burial. While they
The author’s use of a rhetorical question is effective to get the point across to the reader. This rhetorical question is used to put emphasis on the fact that it can be a struggle to acquire the basic need of life. This might be an effective way to hint about Aminata’s past. As she is about to write her story she says she has a better bed then she ever had in her life. This questions is used to foreshadow what Aminata will talk about and makes the reader believe that Aminata might have gone through a rough life trying to survive and get the basic necessity of life, but then things got better as she is now sleeping in a better bed and now she does not have to worry about the needs of life.
