The natural world provokes many different feelings for Plath, which can be explored in many of her poems. ‘The Hermit at Outermost House’ is a description of a hermit and its experiences living by the sea. In this poem, there is perhaps a stronger sense of hope rather than negativity about the sea, it suggests that the power and ferocity of the sea can be conquered. Plath uses positive imagery to convey this. An example of this is when the poet writes, “Backbone unbendable as Timbers of his upright hut?” This line is effective because it emphasises just how adaptable this hermit is.
Habitat loss, and other smaller factors, are driving this remarkable specimen extinct. This fish plays a fairly important role in a Coral Reef ecosystem. It, to put the task in simple terms, converts coral to sand, providing a home for countless crustaceans, microorganisms, and predators. Very few species of fish exhibit this behavior and, thus, makes the Rainbow Parrotfish a vital asset for this ecosystem. The juvenile Rainbow Parrotfish generally spends its time in "mangrove sanctuaries", areas where the roots of a mangrove tree grow into the ocean and serve as a safe haven for small fish.
Another major factor in the theme of isolation is the Nine Lives Causeway, because it physically stops Kipps from entering and leaving Eel Marsh House with the fog; ‘…a thick, damp sea mist that had come over the marshes and enveloped everything’ (p 73). In this quote, Hill personifies the fog, which makes it seem more sinister and creates the feeling of Kipps being physically trapped by it. Furthermore, the sea ‘frets’ show pathetic fallacy, as Kipps is much happier and less fearful when they are not there, as shown in the quote ‘The air was crisp and fresh’. The mists also reflect the mystery around The Woman in Black and Eel marsh house. With the mists
In lines 1-2, the author describes the mangroves as “artists of the beautiful” because the circumstances are unique yet harsh on the island that they live on. The author also portrays the image of survival by saying, “not only do they exist, but they can and do exist,” in the lines 2-4, which also gives you the image on how hostile the circumstances can be on the island. Question 39: I thought the correct answer was C, but the actually answer was D. Type: Standard A-E question.

This novel teaches some important and valuable life lessons that can change the way people are viewed, and help one to understand why they behave the way they do. The author, Nancy Osa, did a flawless job of subtly inserting life lessons as to not bore the reader by droning on and on about life and such. Thus, the novel, Cuba 15, is well written and a great book. The multicultural element in my novel made it both enjoyable and challenging. It was quite enjoyable in the fact that I learned new information about Cuba and quinceañeros, I also learned a lot about how different people react to different environments and cultures.
There are so many good reasons to return the tidal swell, or surf back to the Long Beach coastline. There is the surfing community, tourism, revenue from parking as well as parking violations, fishing, swimming, and of course the marine habitat. The marine habitat has to be considered first above all else. In closing, one can forget all of the benefits that this project will have on the residents of Long Beach, but the fish and marine habitat cannot be forgotten. One can wait on the profits the city will receive, the fisherman can wait, the swimmers must wait.
After spending the day on the beach with Robert, Edna begins to ponder why she did so, and as she wonders, Chopin tells us that her thoughts turn¾and she is “beginning to realize her position in the universe as a human being, and to recognize her relations as an individual to the world within and about her” (Chopin 544). Immediately following that, her thoughts transition to the sea. “But the beginning of things, of a world especially, is necessarily vague, tangled, chaotic, and exceedingly disturbing. How few of us ever emerge from such beginning! How many souls perish in its tumult!
Heart of Darkness Dialectical Journal Chapters 1-3 | Heart of Darkness | Text and Main Ideas | Reaction and Details | | | 1. “Between us there was…the bond of the sea. Besides holding our hearts together through long periods of separation, it had the effect of making us tolerant of each other’s yarns – and even convictions” (Conrad 1). | The power and relationship the sea and the sailors hold is strong and forceful. The sea draws the sailors closer to one another.
Personification is a figure of speech in which something nonhuman is given human characteristics. For example, “ The voice of the sea is seductive; never ceasing, whispering, clamoring, murmuring, inviting the soul to wander for a spell in abysses of solitude;…,” (pg.18). These lines build theme because they describe the beginning of Edna’s process of awakening and finding her true identity. Chopin juxtaposes a comment about the “voice of the sea” with a paragraph describing the beginnings of a new world. The sea has opened up a new pathway of exploration for Edna.
In The Awakening by Kate Chopin, the main character Edna has a fascination with the sea that is never satiated. In the outset of her life she is mystified by it because she is unable to swim. To Edna, the sea represents the ultimate place for solitude and contemplation; the sea invites “the soul to wander for a spell of abysses of solitude; to lose itself in mazes of inward contemplation.” (13). When she finally learns to swim she pushes herself to go farther and farther, where no woman has ever gone before. The progression of Edna skill in the water also closely correlates with her mental awakening.
