Why Did Captain Nemo's Escape
What happened to Captain Nemo and his submarine apparatus? Did he and his crew survive the whirlpool? If so, what was the captain’s reaction to the three men’s escape? Where did he go next and for what reason? I do believe Captain Nemo and his apparatus, with most of her crew intact, did survive the watery vortex... And I have a theory on where he went afterward, too.
Judging by the gloom he’d slipped into after losing another companion (this time to giant poulps in the sea) if the captain did survive, he presumably went to the reef featured in chapter twenty-four: “The Coral Kingdom.” Though without a body to bury, I think Nemo would still wish his friend to have a place beside his underwater brethren. The captain’s most recent lost will

    According to Corporal Harrell (Phillips, 2017, August 20), two torpedoes struck the ship in the night, the explosion created a power outage, and fire was the only source of light. For four and half days the crew was floating in the ocean trying to survive. During the four days, crewmembers would lose their lives in the ocean. Some died from drowning, dehydration, starvation, or sharks. The crew tried to stay together floating in a group but throughout the day, sharks would eat them. The life jackets lacked buoyancy so the crewmembers consistently swam until they drowned. Hunger and starvation made crewmembers hallucinate until losing their lives searching for food or water under the ocean. Finally, on the fourth day a U.S. military aircraft on a routine mission saw and reported the crew in the ocean. Eventually, the destroyer, USS Cecil Doyle and the aircraft rescued the USS Indianapolis (CA 35) crew. Now that the sacrifice and service of the crew has been discussed, this paper will now discuss command…

    The Call to Adventure is simply a beckon for a journey to establish. The hero is called to adventure by some external event or messenger. The Hero may accept the call willingly or reluctantly. In this case, Marlin was forced to leave his passive habitat in order to locate his son taken away from him. This event pulled him out of his everyday tranquil life in his coral enclave, into a deep quest of peril. The call began on Nemo's field trip to the drop-off. Marlin panicked when he realized that his only son would be going to the tragic area. Nemo, defiantly in anger, swam in open sea headed towards the boat after Marlin scolded him loudly and embarrassed him. A huge human diver emerged out of nowhere and captured Nemo. In desperation while being blinded by a camera flash, Marlin inconsiderately swam out to his greatest fear; the open sea which consists of unpredictable risks and hazards.…

    Fredrick Fleet was the workman on guard on the Titanic on April 14. Fleet, had warned the personnel on the ship’s control deck to look out for icebergs that night, yet nobody was at the control panel that fateful night (McPherson 6). The Titanic was thought to be unsinkable when it was built in 1911. “More than 2,200 people were now aboard the Titanic including 1,300 passengers” (Senan 16). The location the Titanic deported from was Great Britain and it was headed to New York. After three long days of sailing on the North Atlantic, they stopped in Ireland. A few days later, the ship crashed into an iceberg that had made it’s way into North Atlantic from Greenland (Fahey 4).
