“Life on the Sea”

The storm roiled on the horizon as rough waves rocked the helm of the fishing vessel. The captain had known the storm was coming—he had watched the weather reports for the past several days of the journey—but he started to question his decision as the waves got more powerful. One wave slapped the vessel and knocked him to the deck; when he stood up on unsteady feet, he grabbed the wheel with both hands. Though he had been a fishing boat captain for years and knew that the sea was the safest place for a vessel in a storm, these moments always terrified him.

He had spent most of his life on the sea; he knew the habits and nuances of the water like it was his closest friend. The calmness that he felt when the water was placid wasn’t like any stillness that he experienced on land. And though he didn’t like the choppy waves when he could barely stay upright, he knew that these moments were necessary too. It was like life—in order to get to the peace, he had to weather the storm.

His wife, Marla, didn’t understand his obsession with the water, why he spent months of the year navigating a boat full of crab fishermen to isolated spots of the ocean hundreds of miles from shore. She couldn’t grasp why he didn’t get the same satisfaction from life behind a desk—the stable job in an office downtown that Marla wanted him to have. He had tried things her way, but that had only lasted a couple years; after a while, she could tell that he was miserable, and she gave him her permission to do what he loved. He gave his job two weeks’ notice and was back on the sea right away.

He knew he missed things while he was away on these fishing boats: he listened to his wife’s voice over an unreliable cell phone connection. He’d had to watch his daughter Ky speak her first words on a video that chirped into his phone. And though he’d been there for her first steps, he’d missed her first day of preschool, and there would inevitably be other milestones that he would miss.

He stared into the blackness of the storm and knew that the fishermen below deck were relying on him to get them safely back to their families—he knew this because he was aware of how his own family relied on him. He knew that he had to stay focused, even when he wanted to think about what his wife was doing now. He would see her in a week—and he’d be able to take his daughter to school again. He’d be able to go to the grocery store and the park and do all the everyday things that he missed while at sea.

He touched the picture of his family that was inside his raincoat as the next wave approached. He imagined their voices telling him that they were proud of him, and it filled him with a strength that he hadn’t felt at other times during this journey. In the morning, the storm would die down, and he would enjoy the quiet. In the morning, he would call his daughter and tell her about the big storm and hear the wonder in her voice as he described the size of each wave. But for now, he was a man on a mission; he took a deep breath and held onto the steering wheel with every bit of his strength.

“Let’s go,” he thought as the biggest wave of all crashed into the boat.

purple and magenta. in livid balioons. The garden outside was like a tray made of beaten brass, flattened out on the red gravel and the stony
soil in all shades of metal-aluminum, tin, copper, and brass. No life stirred at this arid time of day-the birds stil drooped, like dead fruit. in the
papery tents of the trees: some squirrels lay limp on the wet earth under the garden tap. The outdoor dog lay stretched as if dead on the
veranda mat. his paws and ears and tail all reaching out like dying travelers in search of water. He rolled his eyes at the children-two white
marbles rolling in the purple sockets, begging for sympathyand attempted to lift his tail in a wag but could not. It only twitched and lay still.
Then. perhaps roused by the shrieks of the children, a band of parrots suddenly fell out of the eucalyptus tree, tumbled franticaly in the still.
sizzling air, then sorted themselves out into battle formation and streaked away across the white sky.
The children, too, felt released. They too began tumbling, shoving. pushing against each other, frantic to start. Start what? Start their business.
The business of the children's day which is-play.

4. What do you think "her very shadow is blessed, and shall be blessed so long as
memory endures" means?

The story "The Veldt" by Ray Bradbury takes place in a futuristic setting where technology does just about everything for families. The children in
this story, Wendy and Peter, have a room called the nursery which is made up of five wall-sized TV screens which cover each wall and the ceiling
Every part of the room is there to make your experience inside it feel as realistic as possible. Their parents, George and Lydia, are growing more
and more concerned that their children seem to be fixated with visiting an African veldt in the nursery. Every time they go in, they see them in
the hot, dry air Watching lions feast on their prey in the background. Eventually, their parents become so concerned that they lock up the
nursery. Peter in response makes vague threats toward his father. After this, George invites over his friend, David, who is a psychologist to get
his perspective on the situation. George and David find that the children have broken into the nursery and are sitting in the African veldt again.
After analyzing the scene left in the nursery, David recommends that George shut the house off entirely. The children throw a hysterical tantrum
at having the house shut off and scream that they wish their parents were dead. Eventually their hysterics are enough to convince their parents
to let them in the nursery one last time before they leave on a vacation and shut the house off for good. When David returns to take the family
to their vacation, he finds only the children in the nursery.
Which evidence best supports the theme that relying too heavily on technology can be a bad thing?
O "I feel like I don't belong here. This house is wife and mother now, and nursemaid. Can I compete with an African velde? Can I give a bath
and scrub the children as efficiently or quickly as the automatic scrub bath can? I cannot" (Bradbury 4).
O "They were awfully young, Wendy and Peter, for death thoughts" (Bradbury 5).
O "And although their bed tried very hard, the two adults couldn't be rocked to sleep for another hour" (Bradbury 8).
O "This house which clothed and fed and rocked them to sleep and played and sang as was good to them" (Bradbury 2).
O "A psychologist never saw a fact in his life. He only hears about feelings, vague things" (Bradbury 10).
