    Christopher embarks on a challenging journey to London which acts as a symbolic rite of passage, as he successfully transitions from a boy needs help completing everyday task for the normal person to someone who can independently complete a task beyond his limitations. Christopher had to endure thirst and hunger while he was in a state of confusion while waiting for a train. I felt sympathetic towards him, feeling both worried but at the same time a sense of reverence towards Christopher for his determination to go to London to meet his mother.…

    Personal Narrative: The Painted Ladies

    After Big Sur and spending the night in Pacifica we went further north to San Francisco. When we spent the night in Pacifica our hotel was right near the ocean. It was such a beautiful view to wake up to. I just absolutely love the sound of the ocean. In San Francisco we went over the Golden Gate Bridge. It was a pretty cool thing to see with the views of San Francisco and the ocean. We then went to the park across from the Painted Ladies. The Painted Ladies are the houses that appear in the background of the opening of the original Full House series. It was an awesome thing to go see as I grew up watching Full House and will still watch it from time to time. Once we were done at the park we went to the San Francisco Giants stadium. Although…

    Fire Island National Seashore Essay

    Fire Island National Seashore was established by congress as a unit of the National Park Service on September 11, 1964 but its roots date back to 1653. A man by the name of Isaac Stratford constructed a whaling station on the Island, giving it the name of Whalehouse Point. During the 18th and 19th centuries whaling was an essential part of their culture because whales provided meat, oil, and blubber. In 1825 the Federal government constructed the Fire Island Lighthouse at the western tip of the island. This was significant because it served as an important landmark for ships coming to New York (“Fire Island History” 1). Skipping ahead about 125 years, Real Estate began to boom, and Fire Island appeared as the foremost summer retreat. As of today, there are about 23 towns that are present on the Island, 17 of which are…

    Barrier Islands Essay

    Barrier Islands, which are also known as barrier spits, are elongate, narrow islands of sand or sediment that lied parallel to the coastline and are separated from the mainland by a shallow sound, bay or Lagoon. Most barrier islands are along trailing edge and marginal sea coast where continental shelves are wide and gently sloping. The majority of the barrier islands in North America are along the Atlantic and Gulf Coast. The formation of the barrier islands is not fully understood. There have been many theories about their formation, but the current one states that barrier islands were formed about 18,000 years ago at the end of the last Ice Age. As the glaciers melted, the sea level started to rise and flooded areas behind the beach ridges at that time. The rising waters carried sediments from those beach ridges and deposited them along shallow areas just off the new coast lines. Waves and currents continued to bring in sediments that build up, forming the barrier islands. They range in length from three to a hundred kilometers in length and less than one to three kilometers in width. Their two major functions are: To protect the coastlines from severe storm damage and to harbor several habitats that are refuges for wildlife. There are four major zones in the barrier-islands: beach, dunes, overwash, and salt marsh. Each of these zones have their own function and type of natural life. It is natural for these islands to grow and erode and get washed away. They aren’t permanent; they are just accumulations of sand that form off the cost. It should not be allowed to build up in the barrier-islands because its dangerous for the people, eliminates important ecosystems and limits the island’s usefulness in protecting the mainland coast.…

    Free Narrative Essays: Was Rainsford Really Alone On The Island

    Rainsford face shone with brightness as if a door to heaven was opened. Peacefully, he awakened to another day of his life, not like General Zaroff that had died the night before. He was alone in a mansion, in the middle island, where hours ago he could have died. Was Rainsford really alone on the island? Looking out the window, he saw the sea with no longer a curse that trapped many people to their death game. Viewing the calmness of the sea was like being in the water the night he had fallen off the yacht but all of that was past him. Feeling happy that he was alive and his soul was clear, he walked down the stairs to the living room. There he sat for a few hours and reflected on everything that had happened a few days ago.…

    An essay comparing and contrasting the two poems: "Island Man" by Grace Nichols and "The Fringe of the Sea", by A.L. Hendriks. (UK English GCSE Coursework, KS 4)

    I recently read two poems, entitled "Island Man" and "The Fringe of the Sea". These two poems are similar in many ways, but also have conflicting ideas. They both have connections to the sea, through the content of the poems, but also through the authors. Grace Nichols is the author of "Island Man", and she was born in Ghana, and now living in Britain. A.L. Hendriks wrote "The Fringe of the Sea", and she was born in Jamaica, but also now lives in Britain.…

    notes from a small island

    In the morning I awoke to find rain falling over the hills in great blown sheets. I breakfasted, settled the bill and spent a protracted period struggling into waterproofs in the front hallway. It’s a funny thing. I dress myself most days without incident, but give me a pair of waterproof trousers to put on and it’s as if I’ve never stood unaided. I spent twenty minutes crashing into walls and furniture, falling into pot plants and, in one particularly notable outburst, hopping on one leg for some 15 feet before wrapping my neck around a newel post.…

    The Forgotten Island’s Historical Truth

    The subject of Atlantis, the forgotten island, has been a controversial one for a very long time. People have considered if the mythical land was real or if it was simply a myth created by the philosopher Plato many centuries ago. Scientists have investigated areas that could have been plausible locations for where Atlantis sat until it mysteriously disappeared. Plato first introduced Atlantis in 360 B.C. when he described it as a majestic island. Scientists and archeologists have discovered what could be traces of a long ago island, which proves that the idea of a real lost island is not entirely absurd. With all the evidence and accounts of Atlantis, one can conclude that Atlantis was once a geographic place. Natural disasters over time, such as earthquakes and floods would have destroyed the real land upon which the legends were based. The legendary island was likely to have once existed along a coastline, making it vulnerable to ocean floods that eventually submerged the city underwater. Many critics argue that Atlantis is only a myth and never actually existed, since Plato wrote the story hundreds of years after Atlantis was rumored to have existed. On the contrary, archeologists have explored where Atlantis was rumored to be and they have found evidence of what may have been an underwater civilization. Therefore, it can be concluded that Atlantis was a real island that was overcome by natural disasters and lost to man.…
