Seashore Descriptive Writing
Sometimes it's not even the big waves that get you.

You're a rock. You're on the seashore, and you've experienced countless waves; the initial impact of the crest when it breaks, the mass of water carrying the inevitable mass of debris rushing pass you, then the same mass of water retreating away from the seashore. Sometimes the weather is calm, and the waves are gentle. Sometimes the wind blows constant, and the waves are relentless. Sometimes the sea rages, the the waves crash against you with unfathomable power. Those days don't occur very often, and you somehow manage to hold on to your metaphorical grip on the sands. You are a sturdy boulder.

Yet, even after the storms, the waves keep coming. Minute after minute, hour after hour, day

    We created an image of the sea using this strong smell – a sudden beauty and severe consequences for those beauties. The lightning was the only bright light. No rocks fall apart, regardless of how strong the waves are. No wave holds back, each more powerful than the one prior to them, determined to wear down the persistent rock. No human could miss the familiar smell of salty seawater in combination with the moist rocks, giving off a pungent scent.…

    This idea is portrayed in “The Surfer”, as the individual defeats the waves everyday, although undergoing pain every time. The euphoric feeling he gets as he rides the wave is worth the pain he suffers.…

    For this Field report, I visited a wooded area that is near the beach in Chesapeake Beach. From a quick glance, I saw a combination of mature trees and young trees. Since I can see that the trees lost their leaves during the Fall, I will state that they are deciduous trees. They shed their leaves through the process of abscission. For the mature tree in this picture I observed that the trunk is darker than the younger trees in the background and about 15 to 20 feet tall if not higher. Walking through the fallen leaves you can hear branches and twigs break and when I touched the soil it did not feel totally dry since it rained the day before.…

    As you walk into Marineland, and you see all the posters of the cute sea lions, dolphins, orcas etc. You think to yourself, “Wow, this park is the best! Everything looks so clean, and the animals in the poster look like they’re treated well, right?” Wrong. In reality, most of the animals are kept in dirty, tiny cages. How do these people expect for the animals to somehow survive in these inhumane conditions?…

    While I was strolling on the beachfront, I happened upon a bottle under the slowly rolling waves. I picked it up, unscrewed the cork cap, took out the parchment coiled inside, and rolled it out on the fine sand to read the message. It was written in Spanish, but my years of education in the Spanish language had allowed me to effectively decipher it.…

    The wave is the entire reason that he is the way that he is when telling the story, because it has impacted his life so greatly. He shows that even though he was frozen by the fear and had no way of escaping it he did learn, eventually, how to live with this immovable fear. In "The Open Boat" the men almost seem like this is a frivolous matter- they even go so far as to get mad at the people that they believe are coming to save them. They just sat back and relaxed in the boat, smoking cigars like arrogant aristocrats instead of making a last ditch effort and trying their absolute hardest to swim and make it to shore. Doing nothing is doing something in this situation, as it cost a member of the crew his life. I 'm sure if they 'd tried earlier in the morning they would have been able to save the exhausted oiler from his untimely and unnecessary death. Time is certainly of essence, especially when each passing second drained the tiniest bit of the oiler’s energy and ultimately led to his downfall.…

    When I was a young child, my family would go to Silvershells beach in Destin, Florida for a week each summer. I remember that once you had to endure the ten hour drive down there, the paradise that was waiting always made it worth it. I suppose that Destin’s trademark was the smell of Banana Boat suntan lotion that lingered in the lobby of the condo. This is the most heavily air-conditioned room without a doubt. The Victorian-style architecture pillars fell in the middle of the room.…

    Ocean Poem Mood

    • 176 Words
    • 1 Page

    Tone is very similar to mood and often both are connected to one another. This is definitely the case in these two poems since both share very similar moods and tones. The mood of peace and tranquility is basically how the author feels about both settings, but his feelings in “The Ocean” are different when compared to “Address to the Moon”. In the “The Ocean” the author views the ocean from varying perspectives, which is evident from the text from how he describes the ocean as “Though there be fury on the waves, Beneath them there is none.” He clearly views the ocean as being furious and crazed from the surface but the deeper you go, the calmer and more relaxed parts are shown. This is quite different from “Address to the Moon” where…

    When one thinks of summer, it immediately comes to mind the sight of sandy beaches, amusement parks and hot sunny days. Coney Island, an extravagant vacation playground to visit especially for the summer. I have recently had an opportunity to come to such a wonderful place that the sights are still engraved in my mind. There were other attractions that I have missed out on mainly since I had only one day there. If time was not an issue, I would have definitely visited more programs that they provide. Getting there is also not a problem due to their cheap and handy subway system. One thing to be cautioned about is that it can get extremely busy on the weekends, so the best time to be there would be on the weekdays, especially if you do not want…

    Personifying The Sea

    By the second sentence of the book I can predict that the sea will play an important role in the story as a metaphor. The reason I think the sea will be important is because Sophie personifies the sea. “It rolled and rolled and called to me. Come in it said, come in.” The author made the sea a person who is calling Sophie.…

    The Great Wave

    • 469 Words

    Nevertheless I was even more impressed by it when I saw its precursor, a print which Hokusai made more than ten years before The Great Wave. It is called Fast Cargo Boat Battling The Waves. In both works, the subjects are in the midst of a storm, beneath a great wave that threatens to devour them. Hokusai was obsessed by the crude, heavy waves, reflecting the great challenge that human have to go through. In Fast Cargo Boat the large wave is at the beginning of its descent back into the sea, but this shape is still too 'solid' to show the great force of the wave. In fact, it looks more like a mountain than a wave. By contrast, in The Great Wave he let the wave curl forward more so that it is about to collapse onto the boats beneath, the terrifying wall of water spiraling to…

    Oceanography

    All ocean waves are orbital; which means water molecules beneath the wave are moving in a circular motion. They get smaller as the ocean gets deeper. Much of the waves we saw were capillary waves, which are the smallest ocean waves with very small wavelengths. We calculated the period of a wave by doing 1 divided by the frequency. The waves were crashing at 0.1 seconds. The waves were coming in uneasy sets because of the increasing winds from the Santa Ana River jetties located at the South end of the beach. The cause of sets is by the wind and ocean floor bathymetry.…

    A memento, a token, a keepsake, and a talisman can be anything from a small item kept in memory of the person who gave it to you or originally owned it, to an object kept as a reminder or souvenir of an event. A memento, a token, a keepsake and a talisman are souvenirs, something that stirs memories from the past, so you will never forget them. You need these memories to have something to look back on when you get older, when that one special person who meant so much to you is gone in an instant.…

    It is spring break, in the middle of March, my junior year. As I cross the state line into Florida, I picture the ocean as being a place of peace and serenity. It’s my first time visiting the ocean, and all I can think about is hoping it is as beautiful as the pictures I have seen of it. As I arrive to the beach with all my friends, the eagerness of seeing this peaceful place is rising. I can’t wait to smell the fresh salty air, feel the soft sand between my toes, walk along the breezy shoreline.…
