Good Things Love Water-Chris Ahrens

Significance


This work matters because it is a story of a surfer who writes about other surfers who really care about surfing enough to sacrafice almost there whole life to do it. I chose this piece of work because I am starting to surf more and was really intrested in a surfing book. I can use the concepts in this book by surfing without fear and respecting other surfers. A person would choose to read this because it has everything action, mystery, drama ect. After reading this book a person would take away a greater knowledge of surfing, survival and the life of Chris Ahrens.


Perspective


This piece of work was written in the 1990's but it is about people who lived in the 1950's through 1990's. This piece of work has a little bias against non-surfers. A person from the non-surfing community might think that everything in this book is crazy. It would not be hard to explain to a third grader exept for some of the drug references.


Evidence


The argument the author is trying to make is that surfing can change your life in a good way but it can also ruin or make your life worse. He is useing peoples life as evidence for example a guy who broke his neck surfing and also that people get rich and famous from surfing.


Connection


This event or time period advanced surfing from old to new. I can connect this book to almost Any body on the west coast because it is all about surfing. This book connects to me because i surf and the knowledge in the book helps me surf. This book will inspire me to read his other books such as Joyrides 1 And kalaes Gift.


Supposition


The book tells you that surfing will keep on getting better. If this story took place 100 years ago then surfing would have progressed a lot mor then it has today. If you did not have the recourses of the surf board this book would not have been written.
