The Black Out
Bethany’s Dark hours after everything went black Jeff Waba at tunnels made a call to Bethany’s mom ‘’mrs.hamilton, there’s been an accident…’’ speaking calmly and clear ‘’You need to the hospital, your daughter has been attacked by a shark.’’ but Mrs.hamilton thought Bethany and Jeff was playing another practical joke of Bethany’s so she said come on, what’s really going on? But Jeff didn’t respond: ‘’No really she’s been attacked by a shark!’’ this time Bethany mom knew it wasn't a joke she could hear the tension in his voice Mrs.hamilton hung up the phone and broke down in tears but she knew she had to be strong for Bethany and the family but all she could do is imagine the worst that Bethany was dying or in horrible pain she took off downstairs ‘’Noah, we’ve got to go to the hospital. Bethany been attacked by a shark.’’ on there way to the hospital Noah called his friend Sarah which meet them nearby Hanalei police station. Noah got into the car with Sarah and Bethany's mom followed them to the hospital. Everyone praying that she is okay but then Noah got a phone call telling him that his sister lost her arm he started to cry saying ‘’Oh, my god’’ i can't believe it, i can't believe it!’’ he knew he couldn't tell his mom, not yet it would be to overwhelming for her to handle. At the hospital Bethany’s dad was on the operating table while Dr. David Rovinsky, was preparing to start the operation when the emergency room nurse burst into the room just a heads-up Dr. Rovinsky,’’ she nounced. ‘’There's a thirteen-year-old girl coming, a shark attack victim. We are going to need this room right away,’’ but the Dr thought since it was Halloween that they was playing a joke but Bethany’s dad knew it wasn't a joke in his heart that the thirteen-year-old girl had to be Bethany or Alana. Bethanys’s dad Tom laid there praying, worrying and wondering while the Dr went to go find out what was going on. Tom had no phone or no way of contacting anyone within five minutes Dr.Rovinsky returned his face was pale and there were tears in his eyes. ‘’Tom, its Bethany’’ he said softly ‘’she in stable condition’’ but i don't have any other information. Bethanys mom called her other brother Timmy who was at school saying ‘’Bethany going to the hospital’’ but he thought that she was going because their dad was there but then Noah called him telling him ‘’hurry get to the hospital it’s Bethany she been attack by a shark’’ he took off running to his car hurrying to the hospital as fast as he could calling his friends to pray for his sister. Holt Alana dad called Bethany's mom for the first time telling her the shocking new: ‘’Cheri, she’s lost an arm.’’ she dropped her phone pulled the car over to the edge of the road, stared at her two hands on the steering wheel, and broke down weeping. She was crushed all the work Bethany as put into her future as been washed away turning to god because she knew he was in control.
Your blog has me feeling like I am riding in the car with her mom trying to get to Bethany. I wanted to cry for her mom! This is why I don't go in the ocean very far because I am so scared of sharks! I love at the end where they turn to God. Prayer, it works. We can always count on God to listen to our prayers. Her poor mom didn't know what shape she would find Bethany in, how scary! And good for Bethany to be so strong that she continues to surf not knowing if it will happen again.

Here are the directions: Reflection on your book: Compare what you are reading to your own life. What lesson can you derive (pull) from the text or from life, after reading this part of the book.
ReplyDeleteIn your narrative I can really feel there pain and grief. "she dropped her phone pulled the car over to the edge of the road, stared at her two hands on the steering wheel, and broke down weeping. She was crushed all the work Bethany as put into her future as been washed away turning to god because she knew he was in control." I really felt sorry for her and her family. A thirteen your old girl that is sad. It is good that she had a lot of family and friend rush to the hospital to support her
ReplyDeleteAdam, nice comment.
ReplyDeleteI really loved this story and how the girl after this tragic event did not let what happen to her stop her from surfing. I really loved the details you put in it and i loved how you put really good evidence to back it up. I wish i could have seen more how Bethany felt about the attack and what she thought when her best friend was there by her side through all of it. Other than that your blog was very interesting and really fun to read. I really love the story and i loved that you did this one in your blog.
ReplyDeleteNice comment.
ReplyDeleteOn the first blog, I think it is very difficult to read the blog because i can't understand some of the sentences.I just think you need to proofread your blog. Also, you might need to ask Mrs.Stansbury to read. Just a little of advice.
ReplyDeleteOn the second blog, I think you need to also proofread your blog because there is some mistakes that are to change.
On the third blog i think it is very difficult to read because In my opinion i think you need to proofread all of them. Read over them also.
I liked how you remembered the name of bethany and her brothers. I liked also how you kept your punctuation on point.
What about the book? Did the blog author make you want to read it? Did you learn anything?
