Reading Skills
In Ship Breaker the main character, Nailer, has just came very close to dying. Though luckily he the he was able to get off of the ship with what he needed to get. In the process of doing so a small piece of rusted metal cut into his chest and all of the oil he was swimming in spilled out into the ocean. I predict that Nailer will soon get an infection because of this piece of metal along with the oil tank that he was drowning in. Also a question that I have is who will get to sell the oil that Nailer found and was left in the oil tank. A text to world connection that I can make is in the book when the oil spilled into the ocean that is not as big as but is like the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill. A text to self connection is that Nailer is a very hard worker and so am I. A text to text connection is Ship Breaker is like Point Blanc because the characters in both books come close to dying.

I agree with your prediction and I think it is logical that swimming in oil with an open wound would probably infect the wound.
