2. after 10 minutes, describe what you are thinking? include page number

Answer 1

1.In this touching personal account of confidence and fortitude, Bethany Hamilton, a globally ranked surfer, shares how she overcame a shark attack that cost her an arm but not her spirit.

Saltwater is believed to run into Bethany Hamilton's veins. Any other reason might she have for wanting to surf? What other reason could there be for the fact that nothing, even the loss of her arm, could save her from being swept away by the waves? On Halloween morning in Kauai, Hawaii, Bethany responded peacefully to the shark's surprise assault, as though she had God on her side. She began swimming with one arm, her mind fixed on a simple goal: “Get to the beach...” And Bethany did just that because the first thing she wanted to do was head to the ocean. (from the second page of the book)

2.After the tent minute, the thoughts are strongly linked to page 4 of the novel, which contains a touching reveal of Bethany's early years as a surfer, her recovery following the shark assault, the improvements she's made to her distinct surfing style, her unprecedented bid for a top finish at the World Surfing Championships, and, most notably, her trust in God. It's a story of female power and spiritual grit, proving that in surfing, the body isn't nearly as critical as the mind.
