Endurance: Part 1, Chapters7-8

           Things start to look worse for the crew, “They had no idea what the future might bring. The novelty was passed, and so too was there optimism.”(Lansing 52). It really starts too look like the book is starting to become an example of a pathos.  But then it lightens up with the sporadic signs that spring is coming. This reminds me of the school year. It always seems like it is getting so tough and everyone’s getting stressed out about work, but then as if out of nowhere there’s a blast of warmer weather and all is forgotten. Sure the warmer weather on the ship was 1.9 degrees but still it’s the same type of thing. All of the workers stopped worrying about the ship for a second just like students stop thinking about school. I swear weather is a game changer when it comes to moods. The nicer the weather the better people’s moods get. However when it came to the ship the weather was not good enough. The ship could not handle all of the pressure and sprung a leak. The crew worked hard to fix it but nothing worked. If I stick to the school analogy I would have to say the student had a mental break down and never recovered.
