Karashi, place i have visited
Sorry that I could not write you earlier. The fact is that I had been on a visit to Karachi, Pakistan and saw your letter only this morning. I had never been to far off place. I had heard so much of Pakistan before. Now I have satisfied my long cherished desire of seeing this beautiful city.
It is a large city well planned containing magnificent buildings depicting architecture which I have never seen before. The Bandar area is rather scattered. They have drilled square holes down in the middle of the roads for the passage of rain water. It rains pretty heavily there. The temperature never goes up as high as in the northern cities. Altogether a delightful place.
The docks interested me much. You reach the docks by tram. There were many ships and trawlers it was a busy scene. I saw sailors of so many nations walking along the quayside. A motor boat took us to the Manora. There is a lighthouse there. Have you ever been inside a light house? It is an experience I shall never forget about the sea. How shall I describe the sea? The high tides seething with foam rushing up and sandy beach leaving pebbles and jelly fish behind. I was awe struck at the mighty spectacle of the vast sea heaving with foam crested waves and stretching away to the horizon. It suggested unknown adventures and perilous voyaged to me.
In the evening I visited the beach. It is a rocky beach. But a fine bathing place. From the number of cars and gaily dressed people one could easily say that it is a fashionable place. The bathers were mostly foreigners.
It was a short day so I did not see the city more thoroughly. I hope to be able to go there during the summer holidays. How are you? You must be very busy with your studies now. Wishing you the best of luck in your examination.

    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…

    "I left in a French steamer: The French Steam Ship and she called in every blamed port they have out there, for, as far as I could see, the sole purpose of landing soldiers and custom-house officers. I watched the coast. Watching a coast as it slips by the ship is like thinking about an enigma. Analogy comparing the coast slipping by the ship to a mystery. There it is before you -- smiling, frowning, inviting, grand, mean, insipid, or savage, and always mute with an air of whispering, Personification: Giving humanlike features to the coast. 'Come and find out.' This one was almost featureless, as if still in the making, with an aspect of monotonous grimness. Suggesting that the coast invites us to uncover its secrets. The edge of…

    It's much better here compared to New Orleans…I strongly remember how shocked I was and how hard it was for me to adapt there, but surely you'd be glad to know that what I remember the most was my beautiful white dress and glamorous jewelry that day! I thought it was a spectacular, simple outfit, don’t you think? But it was so hard for me to comprehend how you lived in such a violent and worn out environment, especially with that polack of yours!

    Katherine Keil notes similarities between O’Connor’s story and alternate famous pieces of literature such as Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. She compares the grandmother and the sailor in a few ways: their ability to alienate themselves, their selfishness, and their need to empathize as human beings. She indicates another similarity; both having epiphanies. While the sailors is said to be an “ongoing spiritually energizing earthly life”, the grandmother conceives a “Christian resurrection and eternal life.” Lastly, they both achieved clarity of vision and prove that “A good man is hard to find.”…

    I’m writing this letter to you to inform and update you on my life. However I first wanted to address what happened in Kabul. I'm sorry Hassan. I'm so sorry for everything. However I don't want to dwell on that too much, I just pray that you'll forgive me for all the wrong doing I have done. I know it won't help much, because you're so pure and kind, but Kamal was raped, and he died on the way out of Kabul. On to a more positive subject, life in America has been such an adjustment for Baba, but it has truly been amazing. I went to the ocean and it was even more marvelous than in the movies, oh how I wished you were with me. The ocean is so blue and beautiful, I think I might've even seen a whale. I completed high school and I'm now enrolled in college for creative writing.…

    The causeway we drove on was curved and tall enough for the sailboats below to pass under. As I looked down, I could see a group of beautiful condos on the shore. They contrasted brightly with the white sand around them, painted colors normally found in a box of crayons. I took in the sight of all the fancy high-rise condos and hotels, with a few beach huts sprinkled in between. We arrived at our hotel, and I quickly unloaded and unpacked my belongings. The beach was waiting for me.…

    We jumped back in the car and hit the road. There wasn’t much to see heading into California. It is very similar to Vegas, in that, they are both lush with green grass and towering palm trees. But once we hit Laguna Beach, it was like a whole new world. It was a small town filled with very friendly people. Shiny, luxurious cars lined the streets, at least every third one being a convertible. People filled the beaches and streets, taking in the sunshine, some walking dogs, others bordered by what looked like family or friends. When we pulled up to our hotel, a quaint little Inn; spitting distance from the beach, we were pleasantly surprised. A two level spread of rooms surrounding a swimming pool that was accompanied by a hot sauna made out of an actual wine barrel. The nightly rate wasn’t much, the most we could afford for the planned two nights booked in a paradise called Laguna, so we had prepared for less. We checked in and walked straight to the beaches. Words cannot describe the sights of these beaches. The tide was low and we were able to walk right onto the coral reefs and admire the collected puddles of water and sea life. Beautiful pinkish, orange starfish and prickly, purple sea urchins lined the walls while small fish and hermit crabs explored the territory. The sky was the bluest blue and the sun beamed down on our skin, toasting us the perfect bronze, without a…

    On this bright windy night; the moon was shining as if to give a sense of distant hope. The smell of salty water filled the night. The meeting will be on Miami beach in Alexandria, Egypt, the city known as the Pearl of the Mediterranean. Alexandria boasted soft, white sandy beaches that stretched from one end of the city to the other. Pearl thought it was a shame she wasn’t here on vacation, there was so much to do and see.…

    My toes pressed firmly into the cool-March sand. The waves gently crashed onto the shoreline of the quiet, small town, which was still in hibernation from the cold winter season. St. Christopher’s beach was always breathtakingly beautiful at this time of year – the weather was not warm enough for the town’s more promiscuous side to come and twirl around in their sheer undergarments, but it was not too cold as to where the touch of the salty water felt like a thousand daggers were piercing your body. It was perfect. Perhaps the only perfect part I had left in my upside-down life.…

    The beach’s ambience was relaxing yet hectic. Parents were lying on their large beach towels, soaking in the sun such as a sponge would absorb water. All the while, their young children were splashing and running through the froth of the waves. Screams were constant as the stomping of sand castles aroused temper tantrums from the hard working…

    As soon as we got to our hotel room, I rushed to put on my swimsuit to go to the beach before the sun fully set. The hotel room looked like I had been there for a month, with clothes scattered over the marbled tiles in our hotel bathroom. The soft sand between my toes felt like fuzzy socks as I ran to meet the ocean’s tide. The foaming water washed away the sand as well as the stress I had accumulated at the airport. My worries about not having my parents with me and being in a new place fled as I watched the sun set behind the tall…
