A different Will's reflections on the cruise ship


In our third form project we are all writing blogs and taking it in turn to publish them. This week we are choosing a news story and we will try and find a bible story that relates to it.

The news story I have chosen is all about the cruise ship crashing against a rock and sinking, it seemed an accident but apparently  the captain did it on purpose so that is called manslaughter. He was the first one off the ship and when he got off the ship and when he went to shore the lifeguard told him to return to his ship and to help everybody off it to safety. After that 32 people have died and a further 22 are still missing. So the captain’s punishment is prison and awaiting a trial, but he said that he didn’t do it, but I believe him that he didn’t do it on purpose but I think it was a bit cowardly leaving the ship and not helping his crew or his guests.

The bible story that is relevant to my newspaper story is the story of Noah and the whale, firstly Noah did something very bad and decided to flee to a ship and to go away, when he got on the ship in the sea there was a storm and the crew realized the this was all to do with Noah doing something bad so they tossed him into the sea, and it stopped then a few seconds later a whale came and swallowed it up. When Noah was in the whale he prayed to god and he confessed to god and then the whale spat him out onto the land! Then  he kept to his word and fixed everything!
