Waves splashed against the boat‚ a steady stream of water shot out of the engine‚ the smell of exhaust created a thin fog on the water. The engine’s forty year slumber had come to an end. With the ferocity of a rudely awakened grizzly the engine propelled the boat through the glassy‚ cold water. My weeks of effort had finally paid off. The sixty year old boat engine was alive! My resurrection of the old boat motor started in the waning days of summer. School was starting up and I was looking for

This week I chose to read and evaluate Stephen Crane’s The Open Boat and Jack London’s South of the Slot. Both of these short stories benefit from the versatility of the third person point-of-view but differ from each other in a few striking ways.

Why do boats float? All boats float‚ but floating is harder and confusing than it sounds and its best explained through a scientific concept called buoyancy. Buoyancy is the force that causes floating. An object will either float or sink depending on its density in the water. If it’s denser than water‚ it mostly sinks; the less dense object usually will float. It doesn’t matter the size of the object is. Plastic that is big as a football field will float because it is less dense that the water. A
