We put our scuba gear on, and begin the hunt to the river’s floor, to pick up left behind treasures. The water was a bit muggy underneath, all you see was dirt on the ground, tubers hands and legs just floating around, coins laying, a few broken watches, and a bunch of trash. We actually didn’t find treasure, but the experience was fun. I took advantage of everything that I got to do that day. Swimming in the water, sunbathing, eating juicy burgers straight from the grill, tubing down the river, scuba diving to find lost treasure, and enjoying the beautiful scenery the river offers.
People come from all over the island to dive here, since the water is extremely clear allowing you to see all the different sea life. When the tide is low, small tide pools are created. My children can spend numerous hours playing in the pools. They’re either looking at all the colorful fish that are trapped or just sitting in the pools, cooling off from the hot Okinawa sun. Sometimes they get overly excited going from one pool to another and slip on the coral reef, which can put a damper on all the fun.
This stanza represents the imagery of obese children swimming and behaving like otters and enjoying themselves in the pool. The image that crosses my mind as I read the following stanza “The plump good-natured children play in the blue pool: roll and plop, plop and roll;” (stanza one), are obese children swimming in a nice pool. The other images that comes up in my mind while reviewing this stanza “slide and tumble, oiled, in the slippery sun silent as otters, turning over and in,” (stanza two). This image makes me think of a slip and slide. Since otters have nothing to do while playing in a pool, the writer uses this image so the readers can imagine the children playing in the pool and swim like an otters do in the water.

Everyone has a place and a memory that they will not forget whether it’s the beaches of Panama, Florida to the rainy city of Seattle, Washington. The place that is the most memorable in my life would be the time I spent at the Chena hot springs in Fairbanks, Alaska. The Chena hot springs is a very interesting place because of the remote area it is in, as well as the natural surroundings and aspect of a hot spring. The Chena hot springs to me is a place where one can find anything and everything from peace of mind to natural outdoor beauty. The springs have aspects to them that most outdoorsmen would die to see such as; dog sledding, streams and rivers for fishing, and of course the relaxing and sensual hot springs of Chena.
This is in Kalamazoo, they claim to go back to about 1919 and they do the Coney’s right in the window as you would like to see and the buns are nice and steamy. Now you see they use it’s the kind of a purple onion, but it’s a wonderful Coney Island. This is a Port Huron chain, kind of interesting in that they have three restaurants and they serve their Coney’s over the top, which means they do a Detroit style sauce. They use a skinless hotdog, which is a little bit different, but they put the chili sauce over the mustard and onions, they put it on top. I was in one of their places, their downtown locations, I said “can I just have one the normal way” and they told me I couldn’t.
The novel begins with a rich description of the setting. Steinbeck uses descriptive language to indicate that the area is a place of rest. The specific colors, foliage, and animals that are mentioned create a respite, even for those boys and men from the ranches who beat a path to the water. For example, Steinbeck uses the following images to suggest that this place is a place of comfort and that the Salinas River is a sanctuary. Examples: • “The water is warm too, for it has slipped twinkling over the yellow sands in the sunlight before reaching the narrow pool” (p.1).
White uses vivid imagery in order to depict moments from the past. He describes, “The small waves were the same, chucking the rowboat under the chin as we shed at anchor, and the boat was the same boat, the same color green…” (White 2). His use of imagery provides the audience and vivid image of the lake as well as the boat and the author is quite satisfied. White also provides several examples as to how his favorite vacation spot has been altered. He mentions, “The only thing that was wrong now, really, was the sound of the place, an
I would relax quietly on the lime rock bed of the swimming hole and watch the movement of the fish swimming below. As I sat with my feet dangling over the edge, my mind would to take me far beneath, swimming deep into the clear green-blue water, the gentle swaying of sea grass brushing softly against me I would wonder what it must be like to be a fish. When the sunset began to go down I knew it was time to head back home. I was always up for a good competition. So during weekends, my cousin would come out to stay with us to get away from the city, she enjoyed swimming we would head to the swimming hole where we pretended to be in the Olympics we would have relay races to see who could get to the other side first.
In the beginning of the novel, Ralph's looks at the island in a joyful manner and he decides to take a swim in the lagoon with his new and rather plump companion (7). The allusion to the Bible is that God incorporated the religious practice of baptism during the period of the Garden of Eden's existence. Baptism resembles the transition into living life anew, and by Ralph swimming in the lagoon his inauguration into a new untrodden lifestyle has been rectified. To finish, it is important to note that one cannot completely eradicate temptation from life, and the Garden of Eden is no exception because the temptation to fear is still an evident factor. During the second meeting, the boys let a littlun named Percival let his fears be heard when an older boy says: “He says [Percival] he saw a beastie, the snake-thing, and will it come back tonight?” (35).
