Soul Surfer
Mimi Dailey
Bethany is very courageous when she writes “Soul
Surfer” in such vivid description. It is courageous that
Bethany told her life story for the whole world to know!
Bethany wrote it not worrying what people thought of
her. Not only that but losing your whole arm by a shark
changes your whole life and will also give you gooses
bumps later on and will take you along time to heal
emotionally. It is courageous for her to write about her
horrific story and all of the scary details.
Bethany shows a lot of courage when she enters her
first big tournament. Bethany shows courage by being
the youngest one in her division, she was only about 7
and the other girls were about 10-12 that shows a lot of
courage that she is not scared or discouraged of the
older girls. She also was courageous because the
tournament was a push and surf which means the
parents push the kids out into the ocean and they ride
the wave in, Bethany surfed all by her self with no help.
That shows courage that she is not afraid.
Bethany showed courage to stay calm during the
attack. When Bethany was bitten she stayed calm and
relaxed -she didn’t scream or yell. Bethany stayed calm
when she was getting all the attention at the hospital.
Bethany is the kind of girl that tries to stay away from
the attention. She is also courageous because her mom
was not there, it takes a lot of courage to take a
challenge without your parents.
Bethany has a lot of courage to go into a big surgery at
a very young age. Bethany kept the faith and prayed
and believed in god that he would keep her very safe.
After the attack, she had lost a tremendous amount of
blood almost 6 percent. Bethany knew that was a lot of
blood and she was very healthy but she was
courageous enough to keep the faith and believe she
will be okay!
Bethany had a lot of courage to let her friends see her
in such bad condition. Also, Bethany was able to make
jokes and keep a smile on her face when she knows
she is not happy inside. Another example of courage is
when all Bethany’s friends came in to visit her and she
had the courage to tell them a vivid description of what
happened even though it had happened to so recently.
Bethany was probably still wounded emotionally.
Bethany had the courage to write a very thoughtful
letter to a boy named Logan. Logan was a 13 year old
boy and he had wrote Bethany a very thoughtful letter
to send her best wishes. Logan has also mentioned that
he had lost part of his arm from snowboarding. In
Logan’s letter he had mentioned that since he had lost
his arm he was very very down. Bethany had the
courage to call Logan and cheer him up. Bethany had
the courage to stick out and she didn’t care what Logan
thought about her after the call.
Bethany had much courage to let the whole entire world
know what had happened. She put her new look to the
world. She had the courage to not be afraid of what
people thought about her new look. It is also
courageous because the attack was not that long ago.
She was not emotionally and physically healed yet and
she share her story with the whole world.
Bethany one day was in NYC for some interviews.
Bethany was walking the streets and had come upon a
homeless women. She was courageous enough to
stop and talk while giving money and food to the
homeless woman. She had the courage to stick out and
not care what the people walking on the streets thought
about her.
Bethany had the courage to try surfing for the first time
after the attack not only that but to surf for the first time
at a local talent beach. That is courageous because
Bethany was putting her self out there for everyone to
see and watch her fall and stumble. She knew people
were watching and she knew it wasn’t going to be easy
but she had the courage to go in front of everyone and
show what she had.
Bethany has a lot of courage of overcoming her fear of
going back to Tunnels Beach. Tunnels Beach is the
beach that the attack had occurred. That is courage
that Bethany can overcome her fear of something very
easily.
Bethany had the courage to sign up and compete in
tournaments. She was entering them without a left arm.
Bethany knew entering them and all eyes would be on
her because she had one arm, but she had the courage
to go out in front of everyone and surf with one arm.

RELIGOUS
PURPLE - religiousBethany Hamilton is a very religious person. “ I believe in God,” Bethany directly states. What does faith in Christ mean people ask Bethany and Bethany usually would say back, “Everything.” Bethany believes that faith kept her strong before and after the attack. Bethany is also religious because she prays every time before she goes out to surf, eat dinner and before bed.
ORANGE - inspiringBethany is a very inspiring person. Inspiring means to guide or control divine influence. Bethany is inspiring because throughout her book, you can infer that her message is to follow your dreams no matter what the future holds or what the consequences are. Bethany really shows that when she was a kid and she wanted to be a professional surfer. One random morning a tragic thing happened and she lost her left arm by a shark that changed her life forever! Bethany kept the faith and followed her dreams to still become a professional surfer.
ORANGE - ambitiousBethany Hamilton is a very ambitious person! For example when Bethany was in the hospital bed talking to her dad and was saying,“ Listen, I know my surfing days are over” but then her ambition kicked in and she changed her mind and said “I changed my mind and starting thinking about surfing again.” Bethany was very determined to get back on the board and winning again!
BLUE - confidentBethany Hamilton is very confident teenager! Bethany is very confident even in her hospital bed. Bethany is confident that when she gets back on the board she will be just ask good as before! Bethany is very confident when it comes to wearing her plastic arm. She is confident to wear it and did not care what people say. Bethany said, “ I will not wear it a lot only because it doesn’t look the most natural,” but she will wear it sometimes and be very confident. Bethany is very confident that she will stay on track with school and surf. Because she knows that some teenagers get in very bad habits ( alcohol and drugs) but Bethany is very confident that she will stay in line!
BLUE - calmBethany stayed very calm during and and after the attack. Bethany is calm during the attack because she says, “ I didn’t even scream.” That shows a sign of calm. Alana is the friend that was with Bethany when the attack had occurred and she said the reaction was in a calm and low voice Bethany said, “I have been attacked by a shark.” This quote shows how calm she was by her voice. After the attack Bethany stayed calm. You would think when someone got bitten by a shark they would cry alot and be very desperate but Bethany stayed calm and barely cried when she was in much pain.
