Deep down he sort of wanted his father to die but he would never admit it. Others told him to take his father's rations of bread and soup because there was nothing anyone could do for him. When his father did die he was sad but said, ¨I did not weep, and it pained me that I could not weep… I was out of tears… Deep inside me if i could have serch the recesses of my feeble conscience, I might have found something like: Free at last!¨ (Page 112). He says he is almost happy and relieved, he said no prayer, he lit no candle, he just went on without…

The first time he was brought to the chamber, he seemed as if he was in peace, accepting his death. The second time around, “his face was tired and ashen and his eyes were the saddest I had ever seen them. Once strapped into the chair, he turned and found our group again, but this time he did not…
This is kind like he gave up hope and didn’t want to fight for his life. It sort of seems like he’s being inconsiderate about making this decision. He’s not the only one being effected from this situation. His love one’s lives will change from his absence. Also, the fact that he didn’t tell his love ones that he was dying show a little bit about his character.…
He died later that day. After George passed, I tried to move on. It was just so hard because I was alone except for one other man in the party who had gone crazy. I had to grieve by myself. All of the others have either died, or been rescued.…
I knew you’d have a hard time with me dying. Probably more than anyone. Don’t lie and say you’re fine. I know you better than that.” In a later entry he says, “Live your life.…
He craved to live just as much as everyone else and still fought his thoughts. Also when the man accepts his death this shows conflict because it is man v.s himself again. On pg. 276 the narrator states “He watched everything in the world move away from…

I chose this source because this website talked all about what he did as an astronaut in Apollo 11 and it speaks about his life before and after his time as an astronaut. This page even has things that Collins himself had said or thought during this event. The bias of this source was very easily noticeable. It's obvious that the author, Robin Mckie, was on Michael Collins' side because he said things like, "He would not suffer a fate of global notoriety. In fact, the opposite happened.…
Apollo 13 was a major victory for humanity against the dark and dangerous abyss of space. NASA was able to repurpose and adapt to rapidly deteriorating conditions allowing the astronauts to return to Earth safely. The Martian by Andy Weir, fast forwards to a futuristic mission in which the protagonist, Mark Watney, becomes stranded on Mars. While he and the crew were trying to evacuate their base during a sandstorm, an antenna pierces Mark’s suit and throws him backwards. With Mark presumably dead and their escape being time sensitive, the crew is forced to evacuate leaving him behind.…
He admits that he was not sure how to deal with the loss since losing someone that was a big part of his life had never occurred before. I asked him if he would describe his reaction as “rage” He agreed that he was upset and did not know how to deal with death. Music played a huge role in him finding peace. It’s interesting because I use music as my outlet to deal with stress sometimes and relax This process of grief is also mentioned in “A contribution to the study of the Collective Representation of Death” by Robert Hertz. He classifies death as a process instead of the generally accepted opinion that death occurs in an instant.…

These American’s manning Apollo 11 impacted people everywhere by, teaching more about science, inspiring future space exploration, boosting American pride, and proving to humans that anything is possible.…
The rocket was invented during the 1200s by the Chinese Mongols. These individuals built small rockets originally for fire works. Over the next 700 years however, the rocket evolved. People began to make bigger and stronger rockets, where they were beginning to be used in warfare, causing the invention to take a turn for the worse. However, in the late 1900s, NASA began an operation trying to land men on the moon before the Soviets did using the rocket.…
