Frank Morris And Anglla's Return On Angel Island

Improved Essays
It seemed to be the perfect plan. A raft was found on Angel Island, and various footsteps leading away from it. Could It be that Frank Morris, and the Anglin brothers really made it out alive? The odds were against them on this escape. Now that it was known that their plan was to get to Angel Island, it was known that going towards Angel Island the currents were even more intense.

    Stories about survival have been popular since, virtually, the beginning of time, as survival is the most important and primitive aspect of human lives. It is the force that drove our evolution and refined us to our current stature today, so it is no surprise that we are amused by tales of robust endurance against the most severe circumstances. The stories The Inheritor and Side Bet are two prime examples of our fascination with these types of tales, but, when comparing the two stories of survival, one reigns as superior, with more vivid details of the setting, greater and more dynamic characters, and a more compelling plot.
