One of the first instances when yellow occurs is when Rayona and Father Tom jump aboard the 'God Squad Express' heading to the Teens for Christ Jamboree. While traveling, Father Tom decides they should stop at Bearpaw Lake State Park for a rest and dip in the lake Rayona without hesitation soars into the icy water and swims out to a lonely yellow raft. "By the time I get to the low yellow raft, I'm out of breath and chilled. I pull myself over the side and lie on the sun warmed dry boards, panting and soaking up the heat. The silence is wide as the sky".
Neddy Merrill ’s simple belief in changing his life by simply refusing traditional values. The story starts off with Neddy Merrill taking up the challenge of swimming home through his neighbors’ pools, for “the day was beautiful and it seemed to him that a long swim might increase and celebrate its beauty.” (604) Cheever hints a small case of laughter while describing Neddy’s idea: “When Neddy Merrill tries to do something new, something heroic and legendary, all he can come up with is to swim home through a chain of 16 pools.”(The Swimmer 284) His inexpert personality slowly clashes with reality as the story continues and at the end of the story, Neddy finds his house empty, and falls into a deep hole of confusion and pain. The plot of “The Swimmer” is strange; many of its characters and events are figurative, intentionally handing over a “dreamlike effect” (Coale, 46) to the short story.

Therefore, instead of speaking of the plot as a whole, it would be more correct to challenge event by event, or in this case pool by pool in order to discuss the cause of Neddy’s defeat which starts halfway through his journey.

In “The Open Boat” Crane clearly demonstrates that nature is totally indifferent to the predicament of these men, and to make it through the plight of
Houdini would have been nobody if not for his multiple notable escapes. “In 1901, Houdini introduces his own original act, the Milk Can Escape. In this act, Houdini would be handcuffed and sealed inside an oversized milk can filled with water and make his escape behind a curtain.” (3a) Houdini’s acts were always very creative and he always had amazing intricate performances. Acts like his Chinese Water Torture Cell especially gained a lot of popularity. “In this escape, Houdini’s feet would be locked in stocks and he would be lowered upside down into a tank filled with water.

There was a lot of brightness to demonstrate it was a shiny warm day. Some of the inmates had their overalls half down and loose, which made them look like they were getting a break from work. The items help us comprehend independence in this field because the inmates took alcohol from a pail of ice, which represents heaven or a holiday, because it is just like ice in a cup of soda. This scene clearly shows freedom making the roof scene realistic as the inmates feel like free people in their spare time consuming alcohol.

I tip-toed toward an orange heavy duty igloo water cooler yelling with my mouth wide open, OUCH, HOT, HOT, OU, until I cooled them down with the ice cold water. I stood near the cooler feeling the ocean breeze whipping my hair every which way. Looking through the wooded rail of the pier I watched the foam-covered waves topple over each other then slide back into its self. Overhead the singing sea gulls circled as other kids’ hurled food that was quickly ingested with the opening and closing of their beak. Standing there baffled, eyes gazed over, and absorbing all the new scenery I
Once we are off, all I can hear is the muffled engine under the surface, the water splashing up beside us and the screams and laughter of my friend and me. My arms strain as we both hang on for our lives, all we can see are blurs of cabins and trees racing by. Our open smiles are filled with the taste of fish water with every splash. Once all of the water is cleared out of our eyes we see a giant wave coming ahead and brace ourselves; we hold even tighter to the handles and start screaming. As the boat does a sharp turn, I tighten my grip and can feel my muscles burn in my arms.
