656 Words3 Pages

It is July of this year, 2015, I am riding a charter bus from Stark State College in North Canton,Ohio to Pearl’s dinner in Chicago, Illinois. I am with this program called Upward Bound Math Science, which I had spent all summer with program. We make it to our destination, no problem. See this isn’t the challenge I face this is a day before the really challenge occurs. So that day we went to Wheaton College, which I left bored and barely informed about the school. Next up we go to Navy Pier, we go into this complex get food then leave the building staying at navy pier though. I see two boats, one called the Sea dog, which is yellow, and The Sea Dog Extreme, which is red.
I turned towards my Friend and said, “Would you ride that if you could?”
“ Maybe,” says Channing. …show more content…

As we walked towards the boats Channing and I look at the people who got on the boat dry, but got off soaking wet. We wait a little bit then We step on this death trap, as we looked for seats we found some on the left side, little did we know that's where all the action was about to be. We slowly pulled out of the pier then zoomed towards a mass of water. The water crashed around us we zoom up faster and faster, until the driver jolts the steering wheel to the left causing the boat to drift on the water. The boat stop, but swayed from left to right repeatedly. Waves of water flew over head, the boat swayed so closed to the water Sean, another student in the program, could touch it. We drive back to the pier soaking wet, smelling of salt water, screaming to the dance music they were blasting in the front of the boat. We all get off the boat, go to the charter bus, and go to the hotel, they unloaded the bus and we all ran to our rooms, got changed, and my roommates all went and watched television. I thought that was one thing I was always going to

Symbolism Of Chaos In Shipwreck Plot Summary

The strategy between the rowers is simple, “The plan of the oiler and the correspondent was for one to row until he lost the ability…” (Crane 1777).
