Summer Reading Entry 3

       During this section of Ship Breaker, a storm known as ‘Orleans Surge’ is happening and going to flood the hut that they are staying at. During this time, because of the way Nailer’s father is, there’s so much drugs in his system from last night that he can’t move. So now Nailer has the difficult task to move his father to higher ground before their hut becomes flooded. Nailer was never able to see his dad get up to the rock shelter that Sadna, Pima’s mother recommended. You only get to read that Pima and Nailer safely made it up. You never knew if Sadna and Nailer’s father made it.

                

      This section of the book might hook readers because this section is not really about whether they can survive the storm, but shows how different Nailer and his father are and how their differences will get in the way and possibly get them killed. Leading up to this point in the book, his father’s aggressiveness has already got in the way and has caused trouble. He already kind of mad at Nailer for bringing Nina to them and maybe to relieve himself and remind himself of what life used to be before he joined a scavenging crew and everything was normal. Whether he lived or died is for readers to read.
