In the book, Ship Breaker, every character is
different in its own unique way. At first, when you start reading, you don’t
see much because it is all focused in on Nailer, the main character. He’s with
his father as part of a ‘crew’ which is a word used to classify a group of
people scavenging from crashed oil tankers. Many of the main characters are
part of the crew that goes on these scavenging runs. The crew goes on many runs
to get a certain material which I’m not even quite sure what it is so they can
survive.
Specifically, they’re on the Gulf Coast when it all
happened. Apparently, New Orleans sank to the bottom of the Ocean because the
world heated up. This kind of reminds me of Hurricane Katrina when it hit New
Orleans. Even though it didn’t completely get destroyed and we rebuilt most of
it, it reminded me of past catastrophic events in New Orleans. But I’m not sure
if any more of these events has happened so I wonder, have more of these events
happened elsewhere in the world? Are the scavengers going to run into something
that will cause tension? I’m not sure what will happen, but I think the
survivors will clash or fight with another group of survivors.
