The stage is set. All the pieces are in place. A sudden hush falls over the crowd. All of the sudden, it begins. How such a momentous moment in the journey of the crew can be taken so lightly is beyond me. Imagine you were on those boats. You dont know if they float, if the ice will smash you into a billion pieces, or if youll ever find land and be forced to eat each other! (slightly dramatic but, i feel it sets a good mood < vocab word!)"Launch the boats"
This situation is bigger then any suspenseful event you have ever and possibly will ever participate in. Unless you place your life into the hands of 8 other men and place theirs lives in yours when none of you, not the bravest, smartest, strongest, smallest, or tallest, have any idea as to wheteher you will make it throught the night, then you can not know this feeling.
In todays world, the armed forces put their lives into each others hands day in and day out. They know this suspense. They live it, breathe it, embrace it, and over come it. GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS!!!
I liked how you compared the men on the voyage to the men in the armed forces. It was a great connection.
