Descriptive Beach
The smell of the salt when deprived of water, a sponge becomes hard and brittle. It can shrivel up like wilted flowers, lifeless. Water relaxes sponges as they fill up and make them soft and supple. But at times, it’s hard for me to be in need of something to fill me up and restore my deadened senses, too, if you will, water me. The ocean satiates my senses and rejuvenates my spirit within me. I’m awakening from my trance and imposed upon the insensibility of the world. For me, the ocean has always been my escape with new beginnings and a brand new adventure. The vast ocean is filled with tides that come and go and waves that break in different parts of the ocean. It was like the water was dancing or showing a fit of anger daring a person to look on. The ripples of the bubbles remind me of a bubble bath. Even the warmth of the sun gives off the mood of summer festivities after a long and frigid winter. It’s a calming getaway from the stress and pressure of everyday life.
The sounds of the waves coming from the massive deep blue sea washes up on the shores or crashing up against the sharp jagged rocks of the coast line are soothing. Something about the rhythmic timing of each wave is a relaxing sensation that can almost put you into a deep sleep. Although it may sound extremely annoying to some individuals, I completely enjoy the sound. And the sound of the slight breeze rustling through the palm trees is calming to the ears.
Though there are many tastes and smells present at the beach. There is something about the smell of the salty sea that makes you wish that summer was endless. You can almost taste the scent of the flowers as the sent blows towards you with the wind. Or the sensation of lying on the hot but soft sand that melts away any stress. The bright sun’s warm ray instantly puts you in a gratifying mood. And as a bonus it is an opportunity to get a nice dark tan. Also the slight crisp breeze that comes off the ocean keeps your body at the most perfect

    The ocean is a beautiful sanctuary not only for the animals that coexist within it, but also for people that spend more time in the water than on land. There are instances where the sea can represent a wide array of emotions such as respect, fear, and adventure. To me the ocean water is nothing less than a second home on the grounds that it reminds me so much of my home with emotions such as compatibility, fighting and peace coursing through the currents.…

    We enjoyed the atlantic ocean, the warm white sand, and the scorching hot sun. We could hear the huge waves crashing into the sandy shore. We could also hear the lively chatter of the people on the beach. The smell of the salty ocean and the banana boat sunscreen overtook the air with mass quantities of the two smells combined. The touch of the hot sand on your feet and the rough seashells on shore. The best part of the day was when me and my brother went kayaking for an hour out into the deep blue sea. It took fifteen long minutes to fight our way over the…

    1. Hughes uses a metaphor to present the conflict, when he describes soldier uniform as “raw seamed hot khaki”. The use of the word “raw” implies pain and suffering as well as being hot and uncomfortable. It shows the reader how badly the soldiers were treated in WW1 as even their uniforms caused discomfort. Every seam of the uniform is painful.…

    One hot, humid, August morning around seven a.m., the smell of the lake water had already filled my nostrils. The temperature was already in the eighties and my lip had developed a fine sweat mustache. I knew it was going to be a hot day. We had arrived at the landing site fifteen minutes early; this allowed me time to get my gear organized and wonder the quiet landing site. As I stepped out of the truck, the door squeaked open. I gave it a heavy, handed push to close, as it was old and didn’t always shut the first try. The slam echoed through the deserted park. In my hand, I firmly grasped my go to rod and reel; it showed its age, as the emblem was slightly sun faded and the paint was chipped in some spots. This had been the rod that I had all my big…

    I imagine that I am sitting on my perfect beach in evening, smelling the salt air, and feeling the cool breeze. I can hear the water and the crashing waves collide against the shore with their relaxing, rhythmic splashes like smooth jazz music (The Daily Paul, 2007-2013). The sun is slowly melting into the ocean and the sky is the shade of bright purple that can only be seen at dusk. It has been a long, hot day in the sun, and it feels nice to know that if I get too hot that I only have to walk about ten feet down until I get into the brisk cool waters of the ocean.…

    As the day at the beach moves along, people may not think of it, but there are many tastes and smells present at the beach. There is something about the smell of the salty sea air that just makes me not want to think about the day at the beach ending. The smell of the aroma of people eating their delicious treats that they bought to the beach with them. Another aroma of a summer at the beach is the smell of the scented flowers that comes along as the breeze is blowing the scent toward my way. It makes me want to grab the scent with my eager, greedy hands. But I can’t because it’s just the wind. It seems that smell is the most noticeable of the five senses.…

    The air is thick and heavy even away from the shoreline. As she steps outside her hair becomes a frizzy fuzz ball. Smells of salt wafts up so strong it burns her nose hairs. Taking a breath in she lets the humid air fill her lungs. She walks across the scorching sand until the chilly water brings her bare feet some relief. Sand kisses in between her toes, sliding away only after she lifts her foot to take another step. Just above the sand, the water twirls it in a hypnotic dance overtop her perfectly manicured toes, before it recedes to rejoin the ocean once again. Pushing and pulling the waves to shore, the ocean is a machine.…
