Perspective Of Captain Nemo
The perspective of Captain Nemo can be complex. It can change in an instant. The perspective of captain Nemo to the ocean can be obscure. It doesn’t say much of the perspective of Captain Nemo to Professor Aronnax too. The perspective of Captain Nemo to the people on land, on earth can be brutal. Captain Nemo is a perplexing character.

The captain’s view to the ocean is always grand. Captain Nemo’s “land” is the ocean. The ocean is his life. The book states that Captain Nemo had been in the ocean for 3 years now. Also, the ocean was his one and only family. He once had a family, but that family is now gone. The ocean is all the more his family now; The ocean envelopes him like a mother would envelope a child. The magnificent ocean was always

    Andrew Stanton's Finding Nemo

    In the thrilling adventure, Finding Nemo, directed by Andrew Stanton and Lee Unkrich, Marlin, the father of Nemo, goes through life very cautiously, scared from everything that seems unsafe for him and his son. He has been like this ever since his wife, Coral, passed away trying to save her baby eggs. Nemo was the last egg left so Marlin had to protect him with his life. First of all, while Marlin is taking Nemo to school he tells him “That's my boy. So, first we check to see that the coast is clear. We go out and back in. And then we go out, and back in. And then one more time--out and back in. And sometimes, if you wanna do it four times--” (Stanton, Unkrich, X:XX) This shows that Marlin tries to keep his son safe from everything around him.…

    Sea Symbolism In The Awakening

    Schweitzer claims that the sea is a motherly realm; however, like a lover, “the voice of the sea is seductive; never ceasing, whispering, clamoring, murmuring, inviting the soul to wander for a spell in abysses of solitude; to lose itself in mazes of inward contemplation” (Chopin 18). Though Schweitzer and Chopin allude to the sea as possessing competing metaphorical implications, the former makes the intriguing claim that the sea possesses two internal contradictions: a voice which guides one to solitude through a language without words, and a touch which surrounds one in a gentle, loving embrace (Schweitzer…

    Rena Kob's Imagery

    For the young man, the sea increasingly welcomes him. While he had first imagined he was "going to start having nightmares once we get deep at sea," he instead dreams of dying and going to heaven and heaven is at the bottom of the sea. By the time the ship is about to sink, however, he knows he will "live life eternal, among the children of the deep blue sea, those who have escaped the chains of slavery." With these words he draws the link between Haitians under Duvalier's regime and the Africans who were forced from their homeland centuries ago. His speeches have hinted at this connection—"Yes, I am finally an African" because the sun has darkened his skin, the passengers go to the bathroom "the same way they did on those slave ships years ago"—but only when he has finally given himself to the idea of death does he accept that he has been "chosen" for this destiny because it is the only way to escape oppression. The sea is a vast, open space, and though it is far away from the young woman, they both 'know the sea is "endless like my love for…

    Lost Salt Gift of Blood

    Imagery is used fairly often in The Boat with the intention of not only giving the reader a sense of space and time but also an insight to the character. The father is displeased with his lack of education and current lifestyle along the coast, “the sea was behind him and its immense blue flatness stretched out to touch the arching blueness of the sky. It seemed very far away from him or else…he seemed too big for it.” (263) The author in this scenario implies the essence of the problem in the story; the narrator’s father is never unified with the sea he labors in, never achieves the connectedness that goes with working so closely with nature. As well, due to his higher aspirations, the father is too inquisitive and thirsty for knowledge to remain in such a simple place.…

    Mental Illnesses in Finding Nemo

    Marlin, Nemo’s father, is suffering from depression and PTSD. This can be seen by observing the way Marlin acts towards Nemo going to school. Marlin is very overprotective of Nemo. Along Marlin’s journey to find Nemo, Marlin meets another fish named Dory. Dory has ADD, which stands for attention deficit disorder. Dory has this because she cannot keep her attention on something for a long period of time. She often forgets what she is doing, where she is going, or what recently happened around her. When Marlin and Dory start to look for Nemo together, they come across three sharks. The sharks are Bruce, Anchor, and Chum. The sharks have an addiction to eating fish.

    The Whale Shark Annotated

    The narrator immersed himself in the ocean to escape from his past; he is still dealing with the death of his son and guilt that he was one that killed his own flesh and blood. While in the ocean the narrator briefly describes his swimming technique, he states that he enjoys the feeling of swimming harder underneath the current. He pushes himself harder in the ocean to the point he grasp the concept that in just a matter of seconds a body can easily die as live. Swimming in the ocean with the narrator were jellyfishes and a whale shark. The significant about the whale shark, is it was once alive in the ocean swimming freely than suddenly captured and killed. I believe that the narrator saw as a representation of his son, because similar to…

Remarkably finding nemo is heralded by shopkeepers and investment bankers alike, leading many to state that finding nemo is not given the credit if deserves for inspiring many of the worlds famous painters.

    Personal Narrative: Pilot Fish

    The ocean is a beautiful sanctuary not only for the animals that coexist within it, but also for people that spend more time in the water than on land. There are instances where the sea can represent a wide array of emotions such as respect, fear, and adventure. To me the ocean water is nothing less than a second home on the grounds that it reminds me so much of my home with emotions such as compatibility, fighting and peace coursing through the currents.…

    Finding Nemo

    Joseph Campbell states, “For those who have not refused the call, their first encounter of the hero-journey is with a protective figure.” A protective figure can be known as a mentor, someone who acts as a guide and helps you through your journey.

This film is about a clownfish named Marlin who lives in waters of the Great Barrier Reef with his son Nemo. Marlin is fearful of the dangers that occur in the ocean and struggles to protect his son from these dangers. Nemo on the other hand is a curious young fish that wants to explore the ocean.

His father now has to become the hero and brave the ocean in order save his son.

    Open Boat

    The story “The open boat” was an extremely depressing story but in the same time encouraging. Days after days would the captain and the rest of his crew would see and feel the wrath of the sea. Knowing that they had very little chance in enduring the sea without any food supply, they would still continue fighting for survival. At any moment they could have lost their lives and they all knew perfectly well and there were a few moments where they were inches away from confronting death right in their face, but they did everything thing they could to live. The sailors would always be depressed because they would see how the oceans atmosphere would be like and how nature would not show any type of mercy on them. Different shades of grey and black would be in the sky and would reflect on the oceans which cause them to be more afraid of the ocean, as the oceans storm would swallow them whole in every wave that came towards them.…
