— What have you seen on the island already?
— The sea — the twins answered in chorus.
— The sea?
— Yes. Because Marítimo has facilities for interns and by chance, we were selected to sleep there.
— Those who slept elsewhere didn’t get the tour. This meeting was serious, with a lot of training

A lovely afternoon, a magnificent landscape, no job to be done, what a delight. As they drove away from the city, sometimes they would pass through tunnels, other times they would pass by less populated areas. Aniceto, used to driving tourists, felt obliged to give explanations about the places they passed by and he even said a few sentences that they didn't listen because they let themselves get were carried away by scattered thoughts and felt like travelling in silence. The sea, always present on the right side, was a blue so strong and bright that it caught their eyes. Over the waters, from a distance, three small stone islets spurred the …show more content…
And if you really open your eyes you can see that the tablecloth is on the way.
In fact, an increasingly thick white fog had descended on the Desertas and already covered their top.
— There’s fog forming.
— What a pity!
— I don’t think so. It gives the landscape a mysterious look.
— Shall we continue? — Aniceto asked.
— Yes. While it’s possible, yes. We’ll turn back only if the fog becomes dense.
The twins felt a shiver that they associated with the moisture and the low temperature. Convinced that the stroll would be short and without adventures to remember, they put on the cardigans. Aniceto, hunched over the steering wheel, was driving with utmost care now.
— There is nothing more dangerous for a driver than fog.
— But this road has almost no movement.
— Thinking that way is what gets us. When you least expect it another car comes and «pam!».
Slowly, due to the poor visibility, I drove them to the road limit, which did not exactly reach Ponta de São Lourenço.
— From here only on foot. But with a day like this, is it worth it?

    In the text “Late Ferry” Gray expresses his experiences with discovery when his understanding and perceptions on life alter. Gray portrays his view on life when he is observing different stages of the ferries leaving Sydney Harbour. The contrast of the yachts and the late ferry symbolises the simplicity and darkness of life. “Tomato stake patch of the yachts” metaphorically creates an image that the yachts are safely secured. This idea is juxtaposed to the “neon redness” in the water which conjures up ideas of danger. Gray takes the reader on a literal metaphorical journey where he discovers that life is much like the harbour where the yachts safely anchored and secure represent the innocence of life, but eventually we must venture out into the real world just like the ferry heading for the huge dark waters. By contrast, Amy’s understandings and perceptions change through discovering the value of her native and commits to learn the language which is a privilege she had previously denied her grandfather. This is shown when she uses a naïve tone “I don’t think my grandfather understood much English” at the beginning of the text but later her tone is full of a sense of regret and respects her grandfather when she confesses “I’d denied my grandfather the commonest of kindness”. This new area of study will not only renew perceptions and create new understandings but…

    Western and nonwestern heroes come from different regions of the world; therefore, have different cultural backgrounds. More specifically, western heroes come from the Greco-Roman or Judeo-Christian traditions. Nonwestern heroes come from other parts of the world that would not associate with these traditions. While these heroes might seem to have little in common when it comes to origin, “The Hero’s Journey” by Joseph Campbell demonstrates that all heroes have “similar patterns” (Campbell). However by examining the non-western hero, Mulan, in “The Ballad of Mulan” demonstrates how this figure is different than the hero outlined in Joseph Campbell’s “The Hero’s Journey” in the following ways, Mulan does not have any kind of “supernatural aid”, “tests that lead to the final showdown”, or a “life-changing experience for her or many others” (Campbell).…
