Taking notes, however, has one big problem: the person you're interviewing often starters talking faster than you can write. You are still scribbling sentence A when he zooms into sentence B. You drop A and purse him into sentence B, meanwhile trying to hold the rest of Z in your inter ear and hoping sentence C will be a dud that you can skip it altogether, using the time to catch up. Unfortunately, you now have your subject going at a high speed. He is finally saying all the things you have been trying to cajole out of him for an hour, and saying them with what seems to be Churchillian eloquence.


That is so true. I have not done very many interview but what he say is very true on the ones I have done. The person say everything that you want them to say in about 20 sentences, also in about a minute and a half. You hear the perfect sentence for an paragraph in your essay, but by the time you get it on paper it sounds different then how the person said it. I think the reason people doing an interview does this because they think it is funny to watch.

The line rose slowly and steadily and then the surface of the ocean bulged ahead of the boat and the fish came out. He came out unending and water poured from his sides. He was bright in the sun and his head and back were dark purple and in the sun the stripes on his sides showed wide and a light lavender. His sword was as long as a baseball bat and tapered like a rapier and he rose his full length from the water and then re-entered it, smoothly, like a diver and the old man saw the great scythe-blade of his tail go under and the line commenced to race out.



That would of been awesome! I have had only a few fish, which were lake trout and sucker fish leave the water like that. And it is so cool when they do that. Also when they hit the water and the leaur does not come out of there mouth. You get to see the moving, wiggling body's, that are usly between 12 and 18 inches, for a flash then they go back under. So I can not even imagine the fish being longer than the boat.

The great question may be-- What should be done with those who are enslaved already? To turn the old infirm free, would be injustice and cruelty; they who enjoyed the labours of there better days should keep, and treat them humanely. As to the rest, let them prudent men, with the assistance of legislatures, determine what is practicable for masters, and the best for them.




I do not like his writing because I do not care for his writing. He is very aggressive to me, and any one that reads his book. He also words thing in a weird way. He also has insanely long sentences. The only place I have seen those long of sentences is don Quote.

compare to first log.

''Holy saint peter,'' he smiled to him self on the way home, ''there are my three deeds! I've befriended a pagan heretic, saved the virtue of a barmaid, and given comfort to a murder. If this was thy will, hold me excused, for I am only a fool.''




My writing has grown sense my first log, by spelling and sentences structure. In my first one I all ways said the same word, but spelled it wrong. In my first log I had simple, for the most part, sentences so the main part were in the front. Now I know to try to put them towards the back.

odd man and sea

He jerked the tiller free from the rudder and beat and chopped with it, hodding it in both hands and driving it down again and again. But they were up to the bow now and driving in one after the other and together, tearing off the pieces of meat that showed glowing below the sea as they turned to come once more. One came, finally, against the head itself and he knew it was over. He swung the tiller across the shark's head where the jaws were caught in the heaviness of the fish's head which would not tear.




The old man did not give up. He fought with ever he had. He use a harpoon, a knife, a club, and the tiller. He did the best he could, tell he lost. That was the most irritating part of the book, is the fact he did not get to sell the fish. The book is based after how life is. You have your ups and downs. If you want to you can gain something form almost everything. Even if it is not material.

He was sorry for the birds, especilly the small delicate dark terns that were always flying and looking and almost never finding, and he thought, the birds have a harder life than we do except for the robber birds and the heavy strong ones. Why did they make birds so delicate and fine as those sea swallows when the ocean can be so crul? She is kind and very beauutiful. But she can be so cruel and it comes suddenly and such birds that fly, dipping and hunting, with their small sad voices are made too delicately for the sea.



He makes it clear that the sea can be invective. I do not live by the sea, but I am not an infidel tords what he says. People vintage from the seas alot, just like the animals in the seas do. It seams like there so big nothing can go wrong. Now days we hear about how people are cleaning the sea out faster than it can produce. I think if time goes on, in a nouther hundred years people would lamentable about what they have done.

Mount Bachelor- Curtis Norsen commands the undivided attention of 17 ski patrols as he matter of fact runs thought the schedule at an early morning meeting. 'I''ll head out to Northwest chairlift says Norsen, head of the ski patrol. ''No summit lift today. Grooming did call and said there was lots and lots of layers and wind transport.'' As most central Oregon snow riders are well aware, winds on Bachelor can be extreme.
''Some of the largest slides we've seen have been wind transport,'' Norsen informs me as we ride up the mountain on the chairlift.




I have never been to mount Bachelor before, but I have been sling in some strong wind. It is fun, scary, and hurts all at the same time. You fell all alone because you can not see other people if the wind and snow are strong enough. You also can not see very far, so you do not know if you are still on the trail. It hurts because the wind is driving snow at high speed at your face. I t is Worth experiencing thought.
