AWARENESS OF NATIONAL IDENTITY ORAL EXAMINATION BEACH BURIAL KENNETH SLESSOR Softly and Humbly to the Gulf of Arabs‚The convoys of dead sailors come; At night they sway and wander in the waters far under‚But morning rolls them in the foam. Between the sob and clubbing of the gunfire Someone‚ it seems‚ has time for this‚To pluck them from the shallows and bury them in burrows And tread the sand upon their nakedness;And each cross‚ the driven stake of tidewood‚Bears the last signature

I was in Edisto beach running on an old wood dock. Not knowing that things were going to go bad fast. I hear the board snap and my sister starts screaming as if she was in a horror movie for mom.

Tide Graph: Life’s a Beach The ocean is something that has mesmerized me since I was young. I used to sit in the car at our local beach and stare into the open water and watch the waves roll by. My dad would patiently explain the dynamics of the ocean‚ making sure to warn me of the many hazards involved. Then I would watch as my father and all the “uncles” fish and surf.
