You ate hard bread and meat . You worked night and day , often cold and wet and hungry .You saw no land for months and months .There were dangerous storms and many accidents; Some ships never came home again. In 1787 HMS Bounty leaves England and sails halfway round the world to Tahiti in the south seas. The captain of the ship is William Bligh, and his First Officer is Fletcher Christian . The Bounty is not a happy ship .Bligh is a hard man, and his officers and his men don’t like him. They are angry and afraid---afraid of more long months at sea. It takes a year to sail home to England …a year of Captain Bligh. They begin to talk quietly… Why not stay here in Tahiti ,with its blue skies and its friendly people? Why do we need a captain ?Why not put Captain Bligh in the ship’s boat and send him home to England in that? But the punishment for mutiny is death… After reading Mutiny On The Bounty, a general thought occurred to me steadily that time’s is great and irresistible. Time is frightening. With the invectives from the captain, when the sailors were faced with nearly a year of sailing, someone were not willing to bear the pain of the waiting. As a result, they wanted to give up. At this time, time in people’s minds is a topic of fear. And time likes torturing people. *
