2. Briefly, in 2-3 paragraphs, tell me what you expect the plot to be in the movie, based on the real life events?
        I expect the plot of the movie to be about the 2009 hijacking off the U.S container ship Maerk Alabama by a crew of pilates . Since it is based on a true story, I expect there to be real events during the time. For instance the fact that it was the sixth vessel in a week tone attacked by pirated who have had previous extorted ransom in the tens of millions of dollars. 
       I also expect there to be emotions during the time when the pirates decided to barge and hijack the ship. In real life during that time the crew members locked themselves in the engine room. I also expect there to be visuals of what it was like to be held hostage on the boat for days by the pirates.
      Finally, one last thing I expect  is how the US Navy helped to survive the people held hostage on the boat. And how they killed the pirates without being harmed themselves.

The story of captain Phillips is important because it helps to allow the readers understand what time was like during that time in real life. It also is very important because the story can be told by a surviver of the time.
