10th Grade Summer Reading #3

A section in the book that is for hooking the reader into the story is at the beginning of the story when  he fell into a pocket of oil inside the ship when the duct he was crawling in have in from underneath him. He found a doorway out and opened it before he was sucked into the black sludge and died. "He smashed into water. Sea salt swallowed him. The surge and swell of an oily sea. The roll of breakers. Nailer surged upward, kicking for the surface. Broke out into sunlight and waves, gasping. He sucked air, flooding his lungs with shining clean oxygen, starved for all the life he'd been sure he'd lost." This  passage was that after he opened the door he was sucked into it with the oil he was neck deep in. He was submerged in the oil for a long time and he was close to drowning but when he met fresh air when the oil stream carried him out he was submerged the ocean but he kicked upwards and was able to breathe again. He was close to death. This hooks you on the story because the imagery provided a good sense of what was happening and you could picture it perfectly. It also has a good plot line because the problems he goes through, everything seems lost but he overcomes it in a miraculously.
