The author, Khaled Hosseini, uses the symbol of the kite to demonstrate that every human has his or her ups and downs. To be able to understand the theme of the kite, the reader must understand how the kite reflects Amir’s life. Flying kites is what Amir enjoys the most as a little boy, also because he wants to be like Baba, a champion kite fighter, and this is when the kite is flying high and efficiently. In the book Amir says, “But all I head-all I willed myself to hear-was the thudding of blood in my head. All I saw was the blue kite.
The most relaxing hobby that I have ever started is body boarding in the ocean. It is also a great exercise. Swimming in water and getting your heart rate going is a sign of a good workout. Body boarding is similar to surfing, but instead of standing on a board, your body lies on the board level with the water. Body boarding is very therapeutic because being in the ocean is like being in a totally different world.
This is very important because the island in “Lord of the Flies” is shaped like a boat, representing a way to get home. There are some characteristics of both islands that are comparable to each other, such as the rocks and palm trees the boys use as shelter. The islands also have resembling mountains and summits, which is where the boys set their signal fire in “Lord of the Flies”, however in “Cast Away”, Chuck uses it to get a better view of the island. Another topic that is similar yet different in the book compared to the movie is the plane crash. In “Cast Away”, the plane crash was caused by many things.
Descriptive Essay By: Dana Parent There is only one thing better than going for a boat ride on a bright, hot, sticky summer day. That is taking a fast wet and wild ride on our tube behind the boat! By the time we carry the tube down the long path to the dock, the sweat is rolling down our backs. With the sun glistening on the smooth surface of the lake, all we want to do is just leap into the cool water and wait for the boat to pull out. Putt, putt, putt, vroom….!
“When it came night, the white waves passed to and fro in the moonlight, and the wind brought the sound of the great sea’s voice to the men on the shore, and they felt they could then be interpreters” (Crane 370). “The Open Boat,” written by Stephen Crane, describes the journey of four men stranded in a dinghy in the middle of the ocean and the hardships that had to be faced in order to survive. This story is not only a riveting story, keeping readers on the edge of their seat, but the story also makes the reader realize how precious life truly is. Sometimes people have a tendency to take life as a grain of salt and do not think about the realization that life can be taken away within the blink of an eye. As in “The Open Boat,” the crew members learned they could not survive alone, and their only option was to work together as a team.
The head fisherman’s canoe carried the ropes three miles out from shore. From there, the two ropes were joined while the free ends were taken by men in two assisting canoes. The two canoes moved in opposite directions, forming an arc, and the ropes were then dropped into the water. The canoes helped pull the ropes, while the head canoe stayed in place until the full length of the ropes were let out. The two end canoes then curved toward shore, driving the fish toward land.

There was a gathering of Afghans at Lake Elizabeth Park in Fremont in celebration of Sawl-e-Nau, the Afghan New Year. It was a rainy morning, but by the afternoon kites were out and about. At the time, Sohrab was still silent. But I could tell that he was interested in the kites. I had bought a kite for us, and we used it to cut down a green kite using the old lift-and-dive manoeuvre Hassan and I used.
I think it's a really great song, because on the surface, it just like a daft kids' song, but the lyrics are great. For me, you know, I find very deep meaning in the lyrics, which Ringo probably doesn't see, but all the thing like 'resting our head on the sea bed' and 'We'll be warm beneath the storm' which is really great, you know. Because it's like this level is a storm, and if you get sort of deep in your consciousness, it's very peaceful. So Ringo's writing his cosmic songs without noticing.’’ George Harrison, 1969 Recorded: 26th, 27th April; 17th, 18th July 1969.

In one scene when Huck and Jim are floating on the raft Huck says, “It’s lovely to live on a raft. We had the sky up there, all speckled with stars, and we used to lay on our backs and look up at them, and discuss about whether they was made or only just happened” (119). Huck is able to examine his world and think introspectively on the river in a way that he would never be able to do on land; this time on the water gives him a chance to build upon his maturity. The only problem is that Huck and Jim’s serenity does not last. As Clara Claiborne Park points out, “…their paradise is as temporary, and as isolated, as Eden itself,” (9) comparing Huck and Jim’s paradise to a perfect place.
