To nature, man is so insignificant, like a drop in the ocean. But when difficulties come, when death threatens life, we need to have tenacious fighting spirit. The captain gave us the best explanation. In difficult times, he did not give up his beliefs and his partners. At the last moment, his partners survived because of his efforts. Billy Tynes chose to return for their dreams, but unfortunately they encountered a perfect storm. After experiencing all kinds of struggles with sea water and hurricanes, in the end, they failed to overcome nature and perished in the sea. But the indomitable spirit of his and his crew inspires each of us: It takes courage to not give up when death is approaching. It's just that I didn't understand the last point. When the ship was sinking, he didn't choose to abandon the ship to escape, but at the moment when he was about to step out of the ship's window, he chose to give up. Is it an attachment to the boat? Is it giving up on life? I think it should be the former, the ship sank and his life ended. The story is tragic, but also perfect.
