unsettles the viewer by opening on a completely black screen, the audience hearing nothing except the sound effects of marine life. The credits then open onto an underwater scene shot from the shark’s point of view. (This informs the viewer that water/sea will play a key role in the film.) As the shark swims through the seaweed, menacing music begins to play in the background. The music uses simple, dramatic chords in E and F to add suspense and tension to the scene.

There is a nice calm breeze that is blowing a fresh scent of salty sea water. The water is nice, clear and blue making it easy to see what lies beneath.

Galveston being home to about 38,000 people was the “fourth largest town in Texas and the third richest in the country” (“1900 storm”). Being an island next to the Gulf of Mexico made this a great place to live and “the center of trade in the state of Texas” (“Economist”). The island was a sanctuary
Girl’ William Butler Yeats The “crazed girl” is an embodiment of internal freedom. Her music is “improvised” and natural, not stiff and contrived like many musicians of Yeats’ time. Rather than sitting still in black ink, her poetry “dances upon the shore.” Her spirit is not trapped in the confines of her body; it climbs and falls as it feels fit. Her soul is so developed; she cannot even consciously control it. Mr. Yeats describes it as is “in division from itself,” as visually shown through the break

Crane uses a life and death situation in which men must depend on one another and establishes that without group cohesion and unity they will not make it out alive. He shows the group being given false hopes from outside powers but, how in the end the group must unite together for survival and not rely on
Maverick’s Wave The Mavericks is one of the most world renowned big wave break in Northern California. It is located about half a mile from the shore of Pillar Point Harbor just north of Half Moon Bay, California. The area is a shallow near shore reef in the locality of the San Gregorio fault, a major active fault within the San Andreas fault system. Motion on the fault zone has uplifted and deformed the rocks in the area near Mavericks into the S and J shaped folds we see on the seafloor (NOAA
“Survival on the High Seas” Introduction to Literature “For whatever we lose (like a you or a me), It's always our self we find in the sea.” ~ E.E. Cummings Stephen Crane and Joseph Conrad, both in writing fictionalized tales of the ocean travels, explore the contemplations of man and the mysteries of human character. It is the sea, serving as the fundamental backdrop, where the brave protagonists journey forward in determining their own impending fates. “The Open Boat” and “The Secret

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
Leaving Orlando the drive will take me six hours. In my rear view mirror is a city with one asphalt artery running into another. Faceless subdivisions and strip malls paint the landscape in a sea of sameness. Leaving an impression of having been someplace, but not really sure where. The sun bleeds into dusk preparing for its replacement. I press down on the accelerator, seventy, eighty, ninety miles an hour, racing to leave behind the buzz and glare of overpowered highway lights popping on in single
excessive. As the storm moves inland, it is downgraded to a tropical depression. Rip tides are another effect of hurricanes. Rip tides are strong sea currents. They push away from the shore as a strong storm is near. Rip tide warnings are often the first indication of a nearby hurricane. They are formed by the strong winds pushing water towards the shore. The wind of a tropical cyclone can push waves up against the shoreline even if it is hundreds of miles

about the plane flights was not having enough legroom so then your legs crap. The worst part was that on the way back I was stuck in the middle of a row and had to sit upright the entire time and couldn’t stick my legs out straight at any time for 8 hours. But very much worth it because you know what is coming is very beautiful and memorable.
This disaster was considered as the 6th deadliest earthquake/tsunami but it was also known as the 2nd strongest earthquake in the world. The earthquake’s strongest point lasted for around 8-10 minutes. The tsunami created a permanent rise in global sea level by at least 0.1mm and it caused an inactive volcano located in the Leuser Mountain, Indonesia to active. Did you know the December 26, 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami was caused by an earthquake that is thought to have had the energy of 23,000 atomic
