"...they had fixed a hut in which they had waited four long months."
If Dora the explorer had been on that voyage she would have broken into song.
Sadly she wasn't though :( while Shackleton left to get help, Wild stayed with the rest of the crew and fought the elements to stay alive. The fact that they lived for four (<homonyms) months on their own shows just how motivated (<vocab word!) they were. So, they had given up hope on being rescued; they were alive and rescued in the end.
The only movie i can think of where someone is ship wrecked and builds a formidable shelter is Disney's Tarzan (also one of my favorite movies). The house they make is phenomenal. Plus there are tons of other similarities. Both boats sink, both face unpleasant water, and both have to live off the land. The difference is that they shipmates didn't have to learn how to speak gorilla. How cool would a gorilla sound be in a brittish accent? Food for thought that is...Video number two for this post:
And that's the way the cookie crumbles. (Bruce almighty might be my favorite movie.) Until next time, Peace Out Girl Scout
Matt, look back at your literary terms. They are not to be used in a sentence but you are to find a quote in the Shackelton book that demonstrates a literary technique/term and briefly discuss what makes that particular technique / term [the homonym might exist in a quote in the book ....to what effect or purpose did the author employ parallelism [show parallelism structure in the quote]...Good technique for blogger to learn is go back and edit posts. :)
