Section three had many ups and downs through out all the chapters. The
crew seems to only have two things to focus on, food and how far they
have to travel too. They changed camps a few times and made progress
enough because at the end of the section, they managed to see land of
Paulet Island. Though getting this far was quite a struggle. The men
grew hungry on various occasions and all the men spoke of how tiresome
conversations have become between everyone. They grew found and ate
hundreds of penguins. Food, including a sea lion, always seemed to be
found when all hope was gone. Many of the dogs were sent off to be
killed as well. I felt bad for Macklin for having to kill his dogs, he
seemed very attached to him. I think my favorite quote of the book
thus far came from Greenstreet right after the team spotted land, "What
i would far rather see would be a crowd of seals coming up so we might
get food and fuel." This was described as cynical in the book, but i
feel that it was very realistic. Land was miles away, and the crew
needs more than just high hopes to get there.
