Soul Surfer Book Report

Soul Surfer

Could you imagine what it would be like to lose your arm in a shark attack? Everything would be so difficult for quite some time. You would have to deal with not only pain but everybody wanting to ask you questions about what happened. Some people may even make fun of you or be scared. That would be a terrible feeling to have. Everything you do would be at least ten times harder. Bethany Hamilton loved to surf and be in the water. She was just a normal teenage girl whose dreams were coming true. Until one day while she was out practicing for a big competition she got bit by a shark and it took her arm off. It was very difficult for her to deal with after she healed. But she never gave up. She was so independent she wanted to do everything on her own without any help. She wanted to surf again. She was told it wasn’t possible but she had faith and hope. All these children and teens from around the world sent her mail and it made her want to prove that just because she lost an arm doesn’t mean she needed to give up. She and her dad practiced everyday trying to build up her strength so she could surf again. They worked on special boards to help her stay up instead of falling right off. It was a very big challenge for her but she finally did it she could finally surf again. This book is so inspirational. It shows you not to give up on your dreams even when the go and gets tough. I would highly recommend this book to every one of different ages. This is really a great book and I really enjoyed it.

It was so real that she could feel the water burning her nostrils and filling her ears and lungs. As she fought against the rising water, a giant eagle suddenly scooped her up out of the water.

    Shark Attacks

    Shark Attacks

    There are over 475 different species of sharks, but only a few of these are considered to be dangerous to people. These include Great White Sharks, Tiger Sharks, and Bull Sharks. Most species of sharks do not even come close enough to shore to interact with humans. They usually live out in the open ocean or near a reef, where food is abundant. When they do come in close to shore, they are usually lost, confused, or following a group of fish and seals. People commonly think that sharks make plans to attack them, but really, sharks aren’t even smart enough to plot against a human. Almost 95% of all shark attacks are in 6 feet of water or less, and the clarity and visibility of the water is usually very poor. When the water clarity is poor, sharks rely more on their senses, which pick up movement and vibrations, rather then their eyesight. So every once in a while, swimmers wading or swimming in murky water will get a sharks attention and cause it to bite them. Sharks do not like the taste of human flesh, and they will almost always spit it out if they get a piece. When they identify us correctly, they will not attack unless provoked. Most of the time, they think that a human is a seal or a big fish, and take a bite of it just to see what it is. The shark isn’t trying to eat the person, because if they did want to, every shark attack would probably be a fatality.…

    Book Review of 'Saint, Surfer, and Ceo'

    The author of this book is Robin Sharma, one of the North America’s top keynote speakers on personal leadership and life management. The title of the book is “THE SAINT, THE SURFER, AND THE CEO”. The book is about a story, which shows how to live your heart’s desires. The story takes place in a suburban city. Jack Valentine is having an appalling day, he’s very depressed with the way his life has turn out to be. A truck has just hit him and he thinks to himself “this was not a good day for me to die” (Robin Sharma, 2003, pg.1). When he opens his eyes at the hospital, he finds himself covered in bandages, as Jack recovers, he finds that his roommate in the hospital is his long-lost father who is on his last legs, he gives Jack some final advice before fading away forever. He tells Jack to ask himself these three questions; “They’re simply: ‘Did I live wisely?’ ‘Did I love well?’ and ‘Did I serve greatly?’” (Robin Sharma, 2003, pg.12). Next morning Jack finds out that his father has passed away and has left him a letter, which has three tickets to Rome, Hawaii, and New York City. At each destination awaits a teacher for Jack, who will answer the questions and guide Jack to his true destination in life. Jack starts his journey by travelling to his first destination Rome. Where he meets his first teacher named ‘Father Mike’. Father Mike lives in a cathedral where he will answer Jack’s first question ‘Did I live wisely?’ Over the four weeks Father Mike tells Jack that most of the people tend to live their lives with fear and we fear being different from others. Father Mike tells Jack that parents play the role of God with their children’s lives. Rather than trusting their children with their own decisions in life, parents feel the need to make that choice for them. Father Mike says “Success is nothing more than living your life according to your truth and on your own terms.” (Robin Sharma, 2003, pg.72). Last day of Jack’s stay in Rome, Father Mike tells Jack “Keep…
