Suhr Response 1

After reading Ben's post I feel that I must disagree with how he pictures Juan. I don't believethat Juan has that much control over his feelings. When Andres swims out to the gun boat, Juan wants to swim out too and help him. If it wasn't for Raul convincing him to stay hidden, he probably would have been shot as well. Another time that Juan lost control of his feelings was when Raul was attacked by the shark. Juan convinces himself that swimming over to Raul will somehow save both of their lives from the shark even though Raul tells him to stay back. Juan is very lucky he wasn't eaten by the shark as well. I believe that Juan should work on having more control over his emotions.
