Should people be held accountable for their actions? This is a question that people have debated and disagreed on. But the fact is, people should be held accountable for their actions. People putting themselves in harm's way and needing people to get them out is their own fault and should have to pay some type of reparations for search and rescue operations if needed.

Finally, when it was too late and the narrator was running, he finally heard his voice and realized what was happening. K swallowed the wave along with his dog. The narrator saw K one last time as the second wave appeared overhead before disappearing. Ks body was never found. If K were to be found alive, though unlikely, he would probably be scolded and
