Ahmar's English Journal

claire francis felt annoyed that the storm came at that point of time because she felt that she was unprepared for it, she also said that it was going to be ‘appalling’. she also felt tired and exhaust from changing sails throughout the night, and to add onto that she was soaking wet with not that much dry clothes. she struggle to find some dry clothes, but found it in the end which gave her a little hope in becoming dry. then she started to think what it would be like when this over, “One day when all the world was dry, I would put on those wonderful clothes and feel that life was approximately a hundred times better”.

She was talking about the boat like it was a human which was a use of a metaphor,’She would rush at a wave, leap off the top, and then crash down on to the other side, give a quick roll or flip, then rush at another’. toward the end she couldn’t be bothered too anything when stuff started to break on the boat because of the storm, she was tired and just stuck her self somewhere safe where she wouldn’t feel the impact of the boat moving everywhere. At the end she started to think of what it would be like when the storm ends and the sun comes out with that cool strong breeze.
