NF Excellent Nautical Memoir A lively memoir for all ages/levels, and one of the most successful books I've found for ESL with adults, especially those who know something about sailing. What I didn't expect, though probably should have, was that because Paulsen's prose is so direct, and lyrical at just the right moments, it inspired enthusiastic writing from students who'd otherwise been reluctant to pen anything. Like the audacious lifestyle he has written about, this book is not only entertaining but also full of the teaching treasures of nature. The nail biting, tormenting scenes of his boat almost capsizing, his sleeping bag being filled with sea water, coffee grounds and oatmeal and his mesmerizing use of vocabulary leave readers on the edge of their seats.

HTML:Another such wave could easily be the end of us. I had to do something, fix something, save the boat, save myself. But what? Gary Paulsen takes readers along on his maiden voyage, proving that ignorance can be bliss. Also really stupid and incredibly dangerous. He tells of boats that have owned himâ??good, bad, and belovedâ??and how they got him through terrifying storms that he survived by sheer luck. His spare prose conjures up shark surprises and killer waves as well as moonlight on the sea, and makes readers feel what itâ??s like to sail under the stars or to lie at anchor in a tropical lagoon where dolphins leap, bathed in silver. Falling in love with the ocean set Gary Paulsen on a lifelong learning curve and readers will understand why his passion has lasted to No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
