The word ‘stab’ used reminds readers of blood and shows how bright that red shirt is compared to pale sky. Second example of imagery is shown in line, “The beach glows grainy under the sun's copper pressure, air the colour of tangerines” (Woman on a Beach, 7). This is an example of figurative imagery. Michaels is making the comparison of the colour of the air to that of the colour of tangerines describing the sunset. Readers are able to visualize the intensity of the sun’s heat with the word, “glow”, because sun’s rays are radiating against the sand and creating a “glow”.
Also the ocean is so beautiful and unforgettable. The sounds of the waves coming from the massive deep blue ocean and washing up on the shore of the white sand beach, or the sound of them crashing up against the sharp jagged rocks of the coast line are soothing. Something about the rhythmic timing of each wave causes a relaxing sensation and can almost put you into a deep sleep. The sleep would be hard to come out, not because it’s impossible but only because you wouldn’t want to. Although some individuals may find them extremely annoying I enjoy the sound of the sea gulls on the beach.
A simile is also used in Train’s song when it says, “Acts like summer and walks like rain” (Stanza 1, Line 3). Lastly, the use of personification gives the song the ability to be a poem. It can be seen when Train says, “Did Venus blows your mind,” in stanza 6. All of the these elements are typically found in poetry. Train’s “Drops of Jupiter” is a bitter song about the loss of a loved one could stand alone as a poem.
The ocean, with its rough waves, is pounding the shore, where some Indians are struggling to pull their canoes out of the violent water; in addition, dark clouds have already half covered the right sky, blocking the sun’s lights wherever they can reach. Albert has decided the right moment to illustrate his idea of nature’s changing. Just in one picture, I realize that nature can change from peaceful into angry only in a moment of the painting. According to my experience, the last moments before a storm coming are always the best since people usually feel sorry for what they’re going to loose when the violence comes – they’re going to loose the sunshine, the peaceful environment Although he
The natural world provokes many different feelings for Plath, which can be explored in many of her poems. ‘The Hermit at Outermost House’ is a description of a hermit and its experiences living by the sea. In this poem, there is perhaps a stronger sense of hope rather than negativity about the sea, it suggests that the power and ferocity of the sea can be conquered. Plath uses positive imagery to convey this. An example of this is when the poet writes, “Backbone unbendable as Timbers of his upright hut?” This line is effective because it emphasises just how adaptable this hermit is.
What Hambling is trying to achieve within her paintings is the intense, powerful moment when a wave comes crashing down. She is also trying to create the sense of sound in the paintings, the sound of the sea when the waves are being thrashed about, Hambling states that ‘it laughs, it cries and it also has angry outbursts.’[1] That is what she is trying to capture, the emotions of the sea. So overall ‘movement’ is what Hambling list as a key essential element to her artworks. The subject matter that Hambling is trying to put across is about ‘Time’ and how that the sea is like life. It comes to us and then it goes quicker than you think, and how that when the tide comes in it erodes the land much like us getting older.
In Erich Maria Remarque’s book, All Quiet on the Western Front, nature appears as a means of projecting the mood of the book. There are many instances of nature that affect Paul and how he thinks of war and how both nature and war have changed him. In chapter one for example, the mood is placed by how nature is being described. The first chapter has descriptions about how the flowers and butterflies were so beautiful even if it was a war zone. "The grasses sway their tall spears; the white butterflies flutter around and float on the warm wind of the late summer."
The first and last poems evoked sad but happy emotions towards the end of the poem. Her poems evoke emotion, through chronological order, sad then happy or happy then sad. The poem "I am the Ocean" is a different story all together. At first the poem appears confusting because it lacked clear direction and purpose. However, as I continue to read, it is apparent that she is referring to herself as all these different things such as the ocean which calls down the moon so she can rest in its light and dream.
The poem’s narrative perspective is omniscient; all the reader knows is that it is one of Odysseus’ mariners, which adds to the unease and lack of clarity. The first stanza instantaneously creates this feeling of mystery and unease, “This mounting wave will roll us shoreward”, this suggests the island has control of the ship perhaps, and that it is drawing the adventurers in. The land seemed “always afternoon”, this creates a languid and peaceful atmosphere, which may give the reader comfort and put them at ease, it is suggested that time doesn’t affect this place. The repetition of the phrase “downward smoke” is a caesura and adds slow movement to the poem. Tennyson also creates a sleepy and hazy atmosphere, “wavering lights”, “shadows broke”, “slumberous sheets of foam”, “silent pinnacles”, “aged snow”, all these further emphasizing the quiet and dreamlike feeling of the poem, however the reader is still not given a clear picture.
Now long shore, or planform, spreading involves the redistribution of the sediment from the project area to the adjacent beaches (Elko, par.4). The waves soon smooth the new sediment that has been brought in out and drives long shore transport. As a number of Florida beaches are being restored or going under a nourishment project the vision of a natural beach and beach influenced by nourishment is becoming more and more unclear (Elko, par.3). These projects are monitored by beach surveys that are done frequently. Sites are chosen to have cameras put on top of buildings located near the beaches so that an accurate survey could be done.
