I read the article entitled Salvadoran castaway now terrified of the sea by Laurent Thomet. It was written on February 13, 2014. It was about a man named Jose Salvador Alvarenga, who was trapped out in the Pacific Ocean for 13 months and had traveled over 8,000 miles on the ocean. After he was rescued in the Marshall Islands and hospitalized, Jose told reporters that he was now petrified of the sea. He also mentioned to officials that a few ships even his call for help, with one even coming close to hitting him. This survivor has a remarkable story, including a diet of urine, raw fish and bird flesh. His partner even died out at sea, so no wonder Jose seems to have post traumatic stress disorder.
In my opinion, I think the media has taken a bad turn on America. They are almost hustling this man, not just to see if his story is credible, but to find out information he has said he didn't want to enclose. Jose obviously has psychological issues after this life altering event, but yet the media still wants to know about his family and everything they can. This relates to the economy and business for the reason Jose set off to the shore in the first place. He went on a fishing expedition because he was a fisherman. This would've brought in money for him, his family, and his company, if he hadn't been lost at sea. In conclusion, Jose's experience was not only a lesson to fisherman, but to the rest of the world about a remarkable journey.
