“The final loss of the Endurance was a shock in that it severed what had seemed their last tie with civilization" (84). This was the end. The ship had sunk and with it all of the memories and hopes of returning home. The ship sinking was a SYMBOL to the crew of their hopes and all of their positive thoughts and energy went into the icy waters with the ship.
What to do, what to do. Here they (the crew) are stranded in Antarctica with limited food, limited shelter, its frigid out and now their ship sinks. If i were to put myself in that situation, I would be saying my good byes, tieing up loose ends, thanking God, and that would be the end of me. I couldn't be able to take it after 5 months. Check please.
