Special Boat Service

Nature is indifferent as well as uncaring. In the short story “The Open Boat” by Stephen Crane, we embark on the journey of four men, whose ship has crashed and are now adrift. They fight for survival throughout the whole story, trying to withstand nature. At the beginning of the story, they believe that nature will actually care for them, or at least an unnatural force will come and save them. They even begin to question the existence of God. In the end, they understand that nature does not…

Kathy, Tommy, and Ruth are realizing their time is becoming short and must go see this boat the other donors have been speaking of. Even with Ruth being very weak they search threw the woods to find it. “Then we gazed at the beached boat. I could now see how its paint was cracking, and how the timber…

The experience of reading Crane’s The Open Boat, isn’t distinctly adrenaline pumping nor is it overwhelmingly emotional. The reader, as well as the men in the boat, do end in a starkly different scenario than when they began their journey, but the movement is often hard to pin point. In fact, the narrative is contrasted so that there are gaps, physical and literary as well as tonally. Shawn Michelle Smith investigates a similar scenario in her analysis of Muybridge’s photo framing. In a series…

Imagine having to leave everything you’ve ever known behind. Having to walk away from the life you’ve worked so desperately hard to create for yourself. Well that is just what happened to the characters from Salt to the Sea. Thousands of innocent people forced to flee their homes to avoid death from war. These characters left everything behind and didn’t look back. And along their way they had a few bumps in the road, but they managed to do something inspiring. These people, who had nothing more…

Bottom trawling is a high-efficiency fishing technique in global coastal fisheries [1], but with negative effects on marine benthos [2]. Bottom trawling affects seabed environments by dragging a net on the seabed and suspending sediments [3]. In addition, this fishing activity threatens marine benthic biodiversity and destroys the structures of benthic ecosystems [4]. Fishers have been concerned with these impacts for 600 years [5]. Over the past half century, the impacts of bottom trawling have…

and inefficiencies are squeezed out. This is because information flows more freely. Everything happens much faster. All kinds of documents - from emails to spreadsheets and product specs - can be exchanged rapidly between networked users. In the Special Salmon case, the headquarters can update the different varieties of fish, prices for each type of fish, quantity demanded and quantity supplied for each type of fish on its internal network daily. As such, all these information will be made…
