3.2 Complication
Before arriving at Maldives, they find many problems. First, the airplane is delayed because of the mechanical error. So they wait for long time and transit
at Germany the Srilanka. Not only that, they get crashlanded when flew up from Srilanka to Maldives. The pilot, Mick who has heart attack and lost the balance of
his body and the plane can not land as well as possible. Many people died. Only Anna and T.J. are still alive. They try to struggle from the ocean to the nearest
beach. Things started to go wrong in Germany. It
should have taken a little over eighteen hours to fly from Chicago to Male–the capital city of
the Maldives–but after mechanical problems and weather delay we ended spending the rest
of the day and half the night at Frunkfurt International Airport waiting for the airline to
reroute us. T.J. and I sat on hard plastic chairs at 3.00 a.m. after finally being confirmed on
the next flight out. He rubbed his eyes. P.4
He seemed okay for a while, but ten minutes later he took his right hand off the yoke and

shallow and he shifted in his seat as if he couldn’t find a comfortable position. My
uneasy feeling blossomed into sheer panic. P.9
T.J is worried about Anna who can not move. He is panic because Anna looks like could not live anymore. He wants someone to help but nobody can
hear. There are only Anna and T.J.. Eventhough, he is in bad condition, he tries to hold Anna and drag her from the wide ocean to the nearest shore. After Anna has

regained consciousness, T.J. feels a little bit quiet because he still has someone to defense in unknown place.
T.J. really missed his parents. Unfortunately, there has been five days but the resquer team did not catch them. Maybe it was caused of the island that they
stay in is an uninhabitant island. The resquer team can not see the emergency sign fom them because they are so small if looked from plane at the sky. They are
desparate to make an emergency sign. Eventhough they never followed a campfire, they try to set their mind and exploit everything that had been grow and
available naturally on the island for defending their life. “I miss my family too,” T.J. said. P.61
Will they know we crashed? Were they tracking us on radar? P.12
