I would change that because I really lost interest in the book because the first part was about them getting ready for the trip and it was just boring stuff. That made it so there was less time to hear about the interesting stuff. Also I wish they would go in more depth about the characters back stories, because when the crew all died I was sad but I didn't really have an emotional connection to any of them.]]> 2020-12-11 23:26:51 UTC https://padlet.com/schec02949/1od4rm0qjrtxyw46/wish/1011657266 schec02949 https://padlet.com/schec02949/1od4rm0qjrtxyw46/wish/1011671663  If I were to give the book a rating out of five it would be a solid four. I would give it a four because some parts of the book were very exhilarating and exciting almost making me jump out of my seat. But other parts of the book were kind of boring and it made me get tired and made me want to stop reading. But a 4 is a very good rating and I would highly recommend this book to anyone who likes natural disasters and fishing.]]> 2020-12-11 23:40:06 UTC https://padlet.com/schec02949/1od4rm0qjrtxyw46/wish/1011671663 schec02949 https://padlet.com/schec02949/1od4rm0qjrtxyw46/wish/1011676642 My favorite part of the book was when the coast guard helicopter went down in the ocean and it talked about how the crew stayed alive. It Was my favorite part because it felt so realistic like I was there jumping out of the helicopter and going in to the freezing ocean fighting for my life. Also it kept me on the edge of my seat because I didn't know if the crew would stay alive because one of them had a broken arm, broken ribs, and internal bleeding. Another had serious hyperther because he didn't have time to put his wetsuit on, and the other two were fine with minor injuries. But the worst of all is the fifth crewman was nowhere to be found. In the end everyone survived because the coast guard rescued them but the fifth crewman who was nowhere to be found died, people say he died on impact of hitting the water after jumping out of the helicopter.]]> 2020-12-11 23:44:36 UTC https://padlet.com/schec02949/1od4rm0qjrtxyw46/wish/1011676642 schec02949 https://padlet.com/schec02949/1od4rm0qjrtxyw46/wish/1011686237 In my book no one really has that much power but the person with the most power is Bob Brown. Bob Brown is the owner of the Andrea Gail the ship that sunk because of the storm. All the wives of the husbands who died on the boat because it sunk sued Bob Brown because he didn't take the necessary safety tests and precautions. After the boat sunk everyone in town kind of hated him because he had a reputation of people dying on his boats because it happened multiple times before the Andrea Gail incident. ]]> 2020-12-11 23:53:27 UTC https://padlet.com/schec02949/1od4rm0qjrtxyw46/wish/1011686237 schec02949 https://padlet.com/schec02949/1od4rm0qjrtxyw46/wish/1017885705 Three novels someone would like if they enjoyed this book are first is "I Survived Hurricane Katrina". they would like it because it is a book about one of the deadliest storms ever, and it is like the storm in the "Perfect Storm". Also it shows how powerful the storm was and all the destruction it caused. The second book is "I Survived the Japanese Tsunami". It is about a great earthquake in Japan that caused one of the biggest tsunamis ever. A tsunami is a very big wave alike the one that sunk the Andrea Gail. The third and final book is "Moby Dick". It is about the ocean, fishing, and a whale that causes disaster. In both the "perfect Storm" and "Moby Dick" both boats get sunk, but in "Moby Dick" some of the crew survives.]]> 2020-12-14 20:52:10 UTC https://padlet.com/schec02949/1od4rm0qjrtxyw46/wish/1017885705 schec02949 https://padlet.com/schec02949/1od4rm0qjrtxyw46/wish/1017934186 A personal connection I can make to the novel is it takes place where I grew up. For example when it talked about how the storm affected Massachusetts it talked about how houses is Swampscott got washed away into the ocean. That kind of made me said because that was the town I used to live in. Also most of the book takes place fishing on the Atlantic ocean, and I used to go out almost every weekend and fish for flounder, and other fish.]]> 2020-12-14 21:07:40 UTC https://padlet.com/schec02949/1od4rm0qjrtxyw46/wish/1017934186 schec02949 https://padlet.com/schec02949/1od4rm0qjrtxyw46/wish/1017952994 A decision that a character made that I disagree with is that the captain of the Andrea Gail, Billy Tyne decided to turn off his EPIRB. the EPIRB is a device that when a boat is sinking and when the EPIRB touches water it immediately alerts the coast guard. Because Billy turned off the EPIRB know one knew that they were sinking till it was far too late. I disagree with his decision because it doesn't make sense to me at all. Who in their right mind would turn off the one thing that could save their lives. If I was him I would of definitely not turn the EPIRB off.]]> 2020-12-14 21:13:55 UTC https://padlet.com/schec02949/1od4rm0qjrtxyw46/wish/1017952994 schec02949 https://padlet.com/schec02949/1od4rm0qjrtxyw46/wish/1017971371 If I were to describe Bobby with five adjectives they would be first alone. I picked that because other than family he liked to work and be alone. The second adjective is solemn. I choose solemn because he was a very serious person. The third adjective is thankful. I picked that because he was not well off and did not have much but he was fine with that and he was thankful for what he did have. The fourth adjective is fierce. Even though he knew that every time he went out on the ocean there was a chance he wouldn't come back he still went. The fifth and final adjective is kind. Even though he did not have much he still helped out people who had even less then he did. ]]> 2020-12-14 21:20:11 UTC https://padlet.com/schec02949/1od4rm0qjrtxyw46/wish/1017971371 schec02949 https://padlet.com/schec02949/1od4rm0qjrtxyw46/wish/1018283687 If Billy Tyne had a cell phone the 6 apps that would be on it are first bass pro so he can look at all the latest fishing gear. Second music so he can listen to music while he waits for a fish to take the bait. Third camera so he can take pictures of his fish. Fourth calls so he can call his family. Fifth messages so he can text people images of his fish he caught. And sixth youtube so he can watch videos if he gets bored.]]> 2020-12-14 23:53:42 UTC https://padlet.com/schec02949/1od4rm0qjrtxyw46/wish/1018283687 schec02949 https://padlet.com/schec02949/1od4rm0qjrtxyw46/wish/1018294309 If Bobby had a playlist of five songs they would be first Dr. Dre he would listen to that when he was drunk at a bar. Second The Notorious B.I.G. when he wanted to listen to something cool. Third Mozart when he wanted to be calm while he was fishing. Fourth Backstreet Boys when he was with Chris. And fifth Billy Ray Cyrus when the whole crew is eating dinner together.]]> 2020-12-14 23:59:52 UTC https://padlet.com/schec02949/1od4rm0qjrtxyw46/wish/1018294309 schec02949 https://padlet.com/schec02949/1od4rm0qjrtxyw46/wish/1018330312 2020-12-15 00:20:09 UTC https://padlet.com/schec02949/1od4rm0qjrtxyw46/wish/1018330312 schec02949 https://padlet.com/schec02949/1od4rm0qjrtxyw46/wish/1018343291 The picture that I drew is of the Andrea Gail is going up the wave that ends up sinking her. The wave was to steep and big to go over so when they went up it it made the boat fall back onto the ocean and capsize. All the crew died and the boat was never seen again. Some people say that the boat disappeared off the ends of the Earth.]]> 2020-12-15 00:26:22 UTC https://padlet.com/schec02949/1od4rm0qjrtxyw46/wish/1018343291 schec02949 https://padlet.com/schec02949/1od4rm0qjrtxyw46/wish/1018355470 2020-12-15 00:32:04 UTC https://padlet.com/schec02949/1od4rm0qjrtxyw46/wish/1018355470 schec02949 https://padlet.com/schec02949/1od4rm0qjrtxyw46/wish/1018361273 Somebody: Everyone in the crew of the Andrea Gail. 
Wanted: to catch swordfish so they could sell them for money.
But: When they were coming back from a swordfishing trip they ran into a horrible storm. 
So: They tried to do everything they could do to survive and make sure the boat didn't sink.
Then: The Andrea Gail sunk and the crew all drowned, and their wives turned into widows.]]> 2020-12-15 00:34:45 UTC https://padlet.com/schec02949/1od4rm0qjrtxyw46/wish/1018361273
