Tide Rises The Tide Falls Longfellow
he poem The Tide Rises The Tide Falls was made by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. The poem is about a traveler heading to the town and then he suddenly died. The theme is live life fast because death will come.

In the Title section I put, Ocean, waves, moon, opposite, failure/success, never ending surfing, fishing, sand. The story talks about being on the sea in the darkness so that's why I put waves, ocean, sand and moon. In the paraphrase section, the traveler goes to town, like every single day, but suddenly he’s gone.
Another title that the story can have is cycle because, that is life, life is a cycle and when someone dies another person is born, and when someone is gone, life keeps going.
The attitude/tone of the story is like peaceful,

    The title of the poem, 'Beach Burial', has an ironic slant, as beaches are commonly associated with life and pleasure. Instead, the poem consists of the opposite: death and sorrow. Similarly, the poem first two stanzas include low, soft sounds, such as "softly", "humbly", "convoys" and "rolls", with the rhythm and alliteration of "swaying and wandering", which present a calm, soothing tone. However, this soothing calm is more of a grief, as illustrated by the onomatopoeia, in "sobbing and clubbing of the gunfire". The main place or action is sensed as afar, so the washing up of "dead sailors and "tide wood" represents a calm after a storm, wherein the storm is a battle out to sea.…

    Rationalism believed in reason alone but European factories showed that is had its limits. Therefore, romantics escaped reason and found themselves immersed in intuition, imagination, and emotion. They wanted to feel the emotion that came with the natural beauty of arts. So then, when looking at “The Tide Rises, the Tide Falls” we assess the truth through our emotional experiences. When we look at the symbolism of the tide, we don’t look at it as a scientist would rather we learn the truth through imagination and emotion. This poem shows the eternal cycles of nature in contrast to our fatality just like “The little waves, with their soft, white hands, Efface the footprints in the sands” of time (8-9). This represents how romantics rejects Neoclassical values and beliefs finding a truer way to life. This was just on of the many sources for the romantics in their ingrained…

    The negativity bias is a psychological phenomena where humans weigh the negative traumas more heavily than positive life events. For example, wounded soldiers that come back after battle view their lives negatively. They will not think with medical attention that they will still be able to live life they originally intended. Despite the negativity bias, many wounded soldiers have accomplished many things including marathons or triathlons. A trauma that epitomizes the negativity bias specifically, is one the victim experiences physical limitations, amputation, spinal impairment, or injury resulting in an inability to do what they are mental able to.…
