Joyrides-Chris Ahrens

Significance


His Work matters to me because I know what he is writing about (Surfing, being a kid, Living life to the fullest) And all of those I have done and love or wish to do. Chris Ahrens is trying to tell the people of all his amazing journeys and what lessons he got from each one. Each lesson he learned he try's to tell others about from his stories, his friends stories, his families stories and every ones stories that have a meaning to this world.


Perspective


Chris Ahrens wrote this work in 1990 but this book has stories dating back to 1940. Chris Ahrens is for the idea that surfing is a fun thing and nobody should waste waves or make surfing not fun. People make surfing not fun by polluting. This books bias is not against non-surfers but is for surfers, what i am trying to say is that the whole book is about surfers for surfers or for people that are interested in surfing. This book would be very easy to read to a third grader except for the drug parts And surf sayings.


Evidence


This authors sources are very reliable because they are all his friends stories or his stories. He uses amazing details to describe waves or people or even cars in his stories. The stories that he tells i think are real because of all the detail he puts into them.


Connection

These events all helped the the revoulution about surfing. The knoweldge that I learned from this book I can use in life every day. This book inspired me to read all of his books. His oppionion affects everyone in the surfing world because he is so big in it. I experience waves every day because I live right next to them.


Supposition

This book would not be here if I changed one of the elements (Water). If this story took place in a earlier time period then surfing would have progressed a lot more. If these events never happend then surfing might not be around.
