I stretch out feeling the relaxed satisfaction of warm, lengthened muscles atop of soft woven cotton. I take a deep breath, reveling in the salty ocean smell that relaxes my body. I turn to listen to the chorus of the waves crashing ashore and the singing of the seagulls above me. I join in, humming my own tune to add to their melody. Nearby, palm trees wave at me from above welcoming me to their home.
Chopin’s main method of shaping Edna’s identity in particular is arguably through her surroundings and those she seeks company with. The most obvious example of a surrounding that has a certain influence on Edna is of course the sea. Living in land-locked New Orleans for the entirety of her life, the sight of the sea is made out to be fascinating to Edna; it implants a thought to explore in her inquisitive mind. This curiosity is expressed as ‘Edna Pontellier, casting her eyes about, had finally kept them at rest upon the sea’, displaying that this is all she can really focus on and is all she is currently interested in. The sea in many ways seems to actually be a symbol for Edna’s ‘awakening’, the most obvious example of this coming during chapter 6, our first sight of Edna discovering herself.

In the song Lucky by Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat, the lyrics describe the feelings between two people who are in love but are separated from one another because of distance. The writer tries to capture the listeners’ attentions by immersing them into the relationship through the successful use of symbolism, repetition imagery. The usage of symbolism allows readers and listeners to read between the lines and to explore deeper into the meaning behind the words of the song. “Ocean”, known as a great body of water carries the most important symbolism in the song. “Across the water across the deep blue ocean” (3) The word “ocean” is used to symbolize the struggles and hardships with long-distance relationships having to be far apart from the one you love.
26th September 2012 Dear Annie, Snorkelling in Hawaii was the most magical, captivating experience. It made me feel like I was in a different world, like I was an underwater explorer.

In this poem we find ourselves a participant on the journey and we are able to share in Gray’s experience. The poem begins with a sense of immediacy and movement “Next thing I wake up” this makes the journey have a sense of urgency. The experience seems more real as Gray uses similes “as though on board a clipper lying in the sea”. Gray uses auditory imager to provide the poem with a real sensation, “that booms and cracks”. Through the use of travel we understand the power journeys have on us.
The smell of the ocean calms all your senses, Feeling the cool water on your hands and feet as you paddle out beyond the breakers. The most amazing spiritual experience is sitting on my board, by myself, watching the sun set over the horizon. Nothing else like this makes me feel as good. On the horizon a wave approaches. I turn my board around and use every ounce of strength in my harms to get momentum.
