I feel the push of myriad tiny, stream-drained valleys bestowing good energy upon my wet highway. So away-ho from Benjamin’s big bridge, bound for the first of James River’s grand plantations. I raise sail, encounter friendly tailwinds, and become a navigator. Pissing across a gunwale in a flood-driven canoe under full sail is a delicate art, a crucial and blissful release of inner into outer hydrostatic
By its own reflection in the tide.” The Somerset, and extremely large and powerful ship, similar to its passengers. Its phantomlike and extremely large appearance is intimidating, and shows the British have war experience. To Paul’s tiny rowboat, the Somerset stands tall and knows they are stronger and better than the Colonists. The Somerset does not stand alone in this unfair battle. “On a shadowy something far away.
Journal response I really enjoyed the ‘The Shark Net’ and I think Robert Drewe has written a great memoir about the positives, negatives and challenges about living in one of the most isolated cities on earth. It is unusual for me to actually recognise street names and locations in a novel, but in this book I found myself doing so. The main thing that caused a bit of the confusion was the changing of the setting ,what was most interesting for me was his analysis of Perth back in the 1960s as he describes in the book, 'clicky' and `isolated’, looking at Perth now there is definitely a major difference it being so ‘busy’ and ‘crownded’. I also really enjoyed Drewe's ability to convey the emotions and feeling of both himself as a youth
They protected supplies ships in the Battle of the Atlantic. Canadians tested invasion methods during the Battle of Dieppe. Finally Canadians stormed the shores of Juno beach on one of the most important days of battle ever, D-day. The three most important battles that helped Canada win the war were the Battle of the Atlantic, the Battle of Dieppe, and finally D-Day. Although the battle of Britain could also be considered one of Canada’s most important battles since a lot of Canadian fighter pilots fought and helped take control of the air because it was a joint effort and not strictly a Canadian force this battle was not included The Battle of the Atlantic was one of the most important battles for Canada because it controlled all the supplies that were heading to the allies.
Pompeii was a bustling commercial centre before its destruction contrasting to Herculaneum’s quiet fishing town. Both town’s main industry was fishing as their geographical location are surrounded by oceans and seas. Source 3 displays a picture of archaeological evidences like fishing net and mending tools from Herculaneum were uncovered along the waterfront in the 1980s indicates that the main industry of Herculaneum was fishing. This also tells a lot about what resources were available to them and how they access it. With the mending tools, it shows the advancement in technology and how practical they were for their strongly-flavoured fish sauce called garum, essential ingredient for many Roman to utilise these tools.
This tribe found the bay to be a great natural resource for fishing, water, and many other needs. The main lands the Ohlones conquered were the park areas south of the Golden Gate, from the San Francisco Peninsula to the East bay and Monterey. The Ohlone tribe consisted of small, politically independent groups. They moved back and forth from temporary to permanent sites around the San Francisco region for seasonal hunting, gathering, and fishing. They would even burn grass at the tribe’s site to promote the growth of native grasses for seed gathering for future farming.
• Compare each source and consider how Scottish national identity has changed over time. 1) Extract from the Declaration of Arbroath, 1320 [pic] Most holy father and lord, we know, and we gather from the deeds and books of the ancients, that among other distinguished nations our own nation, namely of Scots, has been marked by many distinctions. It journeyed from Greater Scythia by the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Pillars of Hercules, and dwelt for a long span of time in Spain among the most savage peoples, but nowhere could it be subjugated by any people, however barbarous. From there it came twelve hundred years after the people of Israel crossed the Red Sea and, having first driven out the Britons and altogether destroyed the Picts, it acquired, with many victories and untold efforts, the places which it now holds, although often assailed by Norwegians, Danes and English. As the histories of old times bear witness, it has held them free of all servitude ever since.
Statement of Explanation The imaginative Landscape is where I define myself. Our lives and what makes us individual is heavily influenced by our experiences through our lives. It is these characteristics from the imaginative landscape that moulds our personalities and makes us who we are. MacLeod’s short story The Boat demonstrated how a landscape can either complement or conflict with a person’s sense of identity. Personally I related to all the characters in the various responses to the coastal landscapes of Cape Breton.
Fourteen feet long and about three people wide. The motorboat boasts a small outboard engine that despite its size, actually has a strong kick to it. Coasting through the docks, the smell of the harbor emanates up from the water. A mix of oil, seawater, and fish that shocked the nose but was sort of comforting. The motorboat shudders as the engine cuts out and the hull comes up against the dock.
A lot of construction and agricultural activities contribute to the hustle-bustle of this town as the town conforms to the fast moving pace of society. New parking lots are being built, restaurants are being upgraded, and talk of a mall buzzes in the ears of the locals. The beautiful river of Wales stretches across the farmland, its waves woven into a intricate pattern of silvery stars as the cold freezing water tickles my feet making me feel numb .Apart from giving grandstand view ,it flora and fauna contributes to the overall provisions of the town. There were many flowers here, many kinds, white, yellow, purple and blue.The perfume of the lilies in the sun permeates the heavy air as it lazily drifts over the water. The wind of this town was part of my breath, the leaves were part of my song, the flowers were part of my purity and
