As a young man full of both passion and endurance, Perce Blackborow had long been dreaming of decent adventure, so he didn't give up when Sir Ernest Shackleton turned down his request to join the expedition. Perce(secret) hid himself in a cupboard, only(find) three days after they set off. He felt fortunate and happy when he was assigned as a steward instead of being sent back home.
The journey was (hard) than expected. The ship got(stick) in the ice as they approached Antarctica and they had to abandon the ship.the guidance of Sir Ernest, they (throw) away nearly everything except necessities and a banjo, kept their spirits up during the journey. They camped on the ice but with spring ( come), the ice began to melt. Ernest left for South Georgia Island in order to find help. It was the genuine (encourage) and concern from Bless Frank Wild that cheered Berce up. Realizing that he shouldn't become selfish just because ofadversity they were faced with, Berce learned to be optimistic and determined.
