    In Rebecca Kanner’s Sinners and the Sea and Yasmina Reza’s The God of Carnage the human capacity to commit violence is emphasized. Kanner portrays violence during the time of Noah time before and during the flood. The sinners of the town of Sorum, as well as some members of Noah’s family, commit acts of violence toward one another. Reza portrays violence with the same intensity as Kanner, but with a limited cast of characters. The difference between the two portrayals of violence is that Kanner uses evil as a transformative force, while Reza depicts evil as an end. Kanner is hopeful that evil restores the good, while Reza believes that evil does not bring positive outcomes.…

    Both eventually went motionless and without the capability to cry anymore, for now they were in disbelief that their husbands have abandoned them and left there to manage the family affairs. After this interval of standing at the dock both women decided to go home, but oddly they returned the next day to the same exact spot in hopes that this was only a dream and they would awaken from this horrifying nightmare. Marilyn and Jane even brought a picnic basket and had lunch there; both packed lunches for themselves and their husbands with perhaps a gleam of hope for their spouses’ arrival. However, the sun started to dim until night fell upon Marilyn and Jane to a point of complete darkness, and the only sounds were the collapse of the sea’s waves against the rocks. They did this day after day, month after month. It had been 429 days since the men had left for war and now it's February 12, 1911. Jane and Marilyn were doing their usual ritual, sitting by the harbor, having lunch, when abruptly a cannon goes off. To their astonishment, they look out into the midst of the ocean and see the USS Constitution battling another vessel. The soldiers had run out of all ammunition and forced to use the life rafts to go ashore. Marilyn and Jane had no knowledge of this and began to weep because they witnessed the ship go up into an inferno and sink down into the…

    In Peter Skrzynecki’s poem “Crossing the Red Sea”, it explores the long journey endured by refugees who flee from their country in the aftermath of a horrific war. The poem reflects especially, towards the emotional trauma that is associated with immigrating to another country.

    “Why do we love the sea? It is because it has some potent power to make us think things we like to think.” Robert Henri statement not only applies to himself but it also explains many other human’s feelings towards the ocean. This passion is significant in “The Seafarer” by an anonymous Anglo-Saxon scop. “The Seafarer” intertwines the positives and negatives of a life at sea. The story goes through the sacrificial day to day life of a sailor. The voyages cause many controversial scenarios in the sailor’s life. Although sailing a life at sea is very interfering to a normal life, the Seafarer still loves the life he lives and also finds himself on a much deeper spiritual level than any ocean depth he has ever came across.…

Not many people had a true love for her so she ran away. Her father did not pay much attention in how much love he showed her. “I’d been kneeling on grits since I was six, but still I never got used to that powdered-glass feeling beneath my skin. I walked toward the them with those tiny feather steps you expect of a girl in Japan, and lowered myself to the floor, determined not to cry, but the sting was already gathering in my eyes. T. Ray sat in a chair and cleaned his nails with a pocketknife. I swayed from knee to knee, hoping for a second or two of relief, but the pain cut deep into my skin.” (Kidd 24) His ignorance made her felt as if she was not appreciated.…

    Oh dear, how hard it was to be indifferent like the others! She tried not to smile too much; she tried not to care. But every single thing was so new and exciting . . . Meg's tuberoses, Jose's long loop of amber, Laura's little dark head, pushing above her white fur like a flower through snow. She would remember for ever. It even gave her a pang to see her cousin Laurie throw away the wisps of tissue paper he pulled from the fastenings of his new gloves. She would like to have kept those wisps as a keepsake, as a remembrance. Laurie leaned forward and put his hand on Laura's knee.…
