He turns towards his home as the safest venue now to look for these answers. When Guy arrives home and finds his wife overdosed on drugs he immediately notifies the paramedics. The paramedics, savagely hook up their machines to the overdosed woman while smoking cigarettes inside of Guy’s house. The author set the tone of a society that’s completely disconnected from morality and lacks empathy for life itself. This in part fuels Guy’s rebellion. At work…

structure, far bigger than the biggest canoe. An Italian sea captain named Giovanni da Verrazzano had anchored briefly off Sandy Hook, but never returned. This lead to the discovery of the colony of what is now New Jersey. The Native Americans were confused as the strange men made their way to the mainland. New Jersey was no longer filled with only Natives. The Dutch, Swedes, and English claimed New Jersey. In 1609, an English captain named Henry Hudson sailed up the river that today bears…

As we grow, we hear epic tails of money, debauchery, and all around fun that comes with sailing the high seas. With tails of Captain Hook and Blackbeard we catch glimpses of what it was like during that time. Though what happens when it comes time to separate fact from fiction?
