Stare at the painting for a moment, I suddenly understand that nature always has two faces. On the left side, we have a peaceful nature where green evergreen trees grow straight up, a beautiful yellow beach, and some Indians people are trying to prepare their canoes. Up on the sky, the Sun is being blocked by clouds; still, the source of light is trying to lead its shining rays to the beach – creating a mysterious picture of a cascade descending on a mountain in the background. Nevertheless, on the right side is a total different face of nature – a violent storm coming toward the peaceful beach. 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.
In the Heart of the Sea 1. Nantucket was a Quaker community, these groups of people reconcile their beliefs in non-violence with their occupation in the incredibly violent world of whaling by they had hoped to support themselves not a fishermen but a farmers and shepherds on this grassy, pond-speckled crescent without wolves. Pacifist killers, plain-dressed millionaires, the whalemen of Nantucket were simply fulfilling the Lore’s will. 2. The crew drifted for more than ninety days in three tiny whaleboats, succumbing to weather, hunger, disease, and ultimately turning to drastic measures in the fight for survival.
He was saying that he was going to catch another whale and bring Clovis along as a witness. I couldn’t help but laugh. Sure enough, the next day, Ambroise and Clovis set out. Many people from the village waited around all day for them to come back. And they did, without a whale.
Bryan Thompson The Seafarer vs. Sea Fever The Seafarer and Sea Fever are two poems about the sea, but were written milestones apart. The Sea Farer was found recorded in the Exeter Book and has been translated from Old English. No one knows who the author is but one can safely assume a sailor wrote it. During this time, conditions on a ship were horrible and sailors could become so malnourished that scurvy would often overcome them. On top of that, ships could easily stray off course because the only devices used back then were an astrolabe and the stars.
Odysseus was away from his island of Ithaca for nearly 20 years. In those 20 years he travelled the ancient worlds. Although we aren’t confronted by God and Goddesses, many of the adversaries I face are similar to the ones Odysseus faced. To begin with, the Sirens are an extraordinary example of someone seeming so wonderful, but causing terrible disaster. To me the Sirens are a lot like my swim coaches.
Snow in the suburbs is a poem written by Thomas Hardy, an English novelist, short story writer and poet of the natoralist movement. Hardy saw himself mostly as a poet and wrote novels purely for financial gain, although he wrote a great deal of poetry that went mostly unpublished until after 1898. Thomas was remembered for the series of novels and short stories he wrote between 1871 and 1895. In 1898 Hardy published his first volume of poetry, Wessex Poems, a collection of poems written over 40 years. Hardy did not get the recognition he deserved from the contemparies of his time, however recently his poems have been applauded because of the influence of Philip Larkin but they are still not as highly regarded as his prose.
His stories and poems reflects on his life since he didn't really have a fulfill life due to either the lack of finances, gambling, debts, and alcohol problems. After his death people started taking interested in his work due to the mysterious way that he died. Some say that he was mugged, and some even say that he died to the amount of alcohol he consumed. No one really knew what happened to Edgar Allan Poe on his final days his life which led to many questions. His death influences the people to take a peak of his life works.
Nicolas Arreola Ms. Uwanawich English 2H Period 6 4 September 2012 The Dropout It was Sunday morning and summer had just begun, my parents decided to make a trip to Ranging Waters that day. The temperature was rising to its peek and I had never wanted to feel the cold wet water splash in my face so badly like today. It was around 9a.m when we left the house and headed to Ranging Waters. The trip was almost an hour but didn’t seem like an hour more like half. Well, once we had arrived there was literally no parking what’s so ever, but we were lucky enough to find a perfect parking and not walk that far.
The Art of Painting Artists thrived in the Netherlands during the Golden Age of Dutch Art in the 17th century, and they had tremendous contributions in the art history. Some painters came form the big cities – like Rembrandt from Amsterdam – and got recognition for during their lifetime and got famous. And some painters painted brilliant paintings, but during their lifetime, they were not appreciated for their works. Such one painter is Johannes (1632 – 1675) who created some of the most precious paintings of Northern Europe. His reputation is based on only 35 paintings, but during his lifetime he was virtually unknown to the world and was not appreciated to for his works.
