“They were true monsters, steepsided, galloping, twenty, thirty feet high, almost vertical walls with breaking tops that caught the boat and held her down on her side with me in the water, clawing to get back on, ripping my nails, cutting my hand, now fighting to live, not sail, not obey the call of the sea, nothing noble or high-flown now but just to live, get on the boat and live.” (Paulsen, p.97)
This passage strikes me because it tells when the author caught in the storm and the boat has been hit with the waves that knock him in the water, but he was trying to hold on and fight against the storm to get on the boat. His main goal is to stay alive even though he was hurted by the storm, but he wanted to be live. His will to fight for his life has showed me that do not give up so easily but to fight if there is a chance to be alive.

What do you mean by this sentences? Do you mean that the author is having a hard time to fight for his life? What do you mean " his" ? Do you mean "his" as refer to the author? . Do you mean " his " as "he" that is what I understanding.
His main goal is to stay alive even though he was hurted by the storm, but he wanted to be live.
Should this be two separate sentences?
"His will to fight for his life has showed me that....."
Are the subject and verb right?
Why does it have two verbs here?
