The author of “The Seafarer” describes the sea as a grave for young men and a chance for a life filled with God. The author uses personification to depict the sea as it really was‚ an evil being that drew men into its icy waves of doom. The Anglo-Saxons were faced with the decision everyday to toy

already get this sense and seen of decay. “In Dorset the great house at Woodcombe Park bustles with life. In Ireland the more modest Kilneagh is as quiet as a grave.”(Trevor 1). These two sentences show the contrast between the great Woodcombe estate and the once great Kilneagh estate now quiet as a grave. Trevor states it is quiet as a grave because that’s what it has become‚ a place of death. As seen through the eyes of young Willie‚ Kilneagh was once a flourishing and lush estate as well. “I would

A chilling breath of wind assaulted her deadened cheeks for it was a rough night and the stars had cowardly hid away behind the dull‚ mute clouds. The predatory moon‚ bright and full; crept behind the cloudy sky stalking me as prey. Her voiceless shadow stumbled drunkenly as she battled through the hawkish rain to find shelter for the night.

24 Sept. 2012 Research Plan The hypothesis I would like to test for my research project is that there will be more deaths that are below the age of 45 since there hadn’t been any advancements in technology and medicine was unavailable up until the late 1940’s.
