Paper One
A.
There are many points made in the The Perfect Storm by Sebastian Junger. Firstly, how dangerous a fishing ground named Grand Banks is, and how many people over the years have died or ships lost once a storm had hit. Secondly, it was said that currents ran in strange vortexes at another, nearby bank, named Georges. It was suggested by men that travelled there had dreams, visions and uneasy feelings when around. Lastly was the amazing marine life that called Georges Bank home, even though it could be seen as more dangerous than Grand Banks.
