all of us in Malaysia agreeing to the reunion. I started praying about the trip to India right from the start. I prayed for the various aspects of the trip – flights‚ accommodation‚ food‚ transport and friends and of course for good health for Choon and me.

As we told other friends about our proposed trip‚ two others – Teoh and Bangga‚ who had studied in the Punjab Agriculture University

eighty thousand miles per second‚ even then‚ it would take light over four years to arrive there if it left from our planet. Does this not make you feel small and insignificant? This is precisely how the narrator felt in Stephen Crane’s‚ “The Open Boat”‚ as he and his men were floating among the vast sea‚ in a thrilling yet dangerous experience. One of the most fervent metaphysical questions about life and the universe is the notion explored in this

It would be impossible to discuss “The Boat” without talking about the death of the father. Despite the convincing arguments that the father’s death can be seen as a suicide‚ I would argue that his death was inevitable because he is living a lie‚ something that his wife was all too aware of. In a way‚ his death may be the closest his wife has ever felt to him‚ as he is able to become part of the sea – a sea of which she was a part of‚ and that outsiders were not (18). His death is a way for him to

Letter To Ms. K (My Ninth Grade Global Issues Teacher) I hope your summer was enjoyable. Over the summer‚ I read the book the “Boys in the Boat” and I enjoied the author’s details about Joe Rantz. As I read this piece of literature‚ I thought of your global issues class and how Daniel James Brown’s descriptions of the great depression and its overall theme of teamwork related to our discussions of real events that take and took place all over the globe. The great depression wasn’t a huge topic

I want to talk about the “sea” in Stephen Crane’s "The Open Boat". The paper tries to explore the three symbolisms of the ocean - freedom‚ life and the end‚ to help readers better understand the sea’s role in the story. We live on Earth‚ more than 70% of the area covered by the ocean‚ and 97% of surface water reserves in the ocean. Therefore‚ the important role oceans play in our lives can be imagined. Ocean in the minds of the people not only a symbol of human unconquerable natural forces‚ but

Bangalore to Ooty Trip I thought it will be helpful to write a travelouge for my trip to some of those who wish to plan a trip to Ooty from Bangalore by a self driven car. Before planning my trip‚ I tried to search the net for some experiences but all those could not give me a confidence and some of them even discouraged me to go ahead with the trip. The fear was due to descriptions of a dense forest ‚ wild animals and hill driving especially with hair-pin bends. Yet we started this trip along with my
