The Marginal World
THE MARGINAL WORLD
The edge of the sea is a place in which wave, by wave had broken against the land, and where the ocean never rests, never stops, it is always in constant movement, it is always changing, and the ebb tide knows extreme parts of the world, and it is exposed to different temperatures. Living in there, in the shore, is difficult for animals only the most hardly and adaptable of them can survive, but there is a variety of species in there, there are also deep in the sand, were they created tubes and passageways. And this residency of species is an ancient world that had always been there.
Rachel Carson (the author) says that it is an exquisite beauty that someone can visit rarely. And that also it looked beautiful at night, especially in the full August moon, because you can see the moon, which she consider a luminous disk in the sky suspended in the shore. And when she entered into the shore she saw a different species such as colonies of soft corals, two starfishes. And also when she downs there, the place that she calls a magical zone she saw the specie, which she calls the most delicate and beautiful of all the shore’s inhabitants that are the flowers, that as she says that they are no plant, but animal, and there are a big variety of them., and she was amazed by its beauty, and fragility.
On a beach, on the coast of Georgia she was walking over the sand at the moment of a sunset, she looked back at the where was the pool (shore) and the only sounds that she could hear at that moment was the wind and the birds, the ones who stood at the edge of the water, and at the last evening light the birds that she saw became no more than dark shadows. At the night she says that the shore is a different world in which the darkness hides the distraction of the daylight and focus the elemental reality. As she was walking on the beach at night she saw a ghost crab searching for beam of her torch. And suddenly at the night she heard no sound and saw no

    As she walking to class, something caught her attention, the shore outside. She went outside, they were allowed to go outside without permission. She walked outside and she could feel the breeze going towards her and she could feel the warmness of the sun reflecting on top of her head. She saw how the waves were moving in a steady motion and it splashing on top of the soft sand. She could hear the palm trees moving gently.…

    She struggles against the ripping force of the ocean current. Her arms are quickly tiring from swimming against it. She relaxes, letting her muscles fall limp. Within seconds, she is pushed out to sea. The people on the beach are so small, little tiny ants against a white sand backdrop. The tall condo skyscrapers are now tiny Lego buildings. The kids hollering and music blasting on the beach is faded like a distant memory. She will die out here, she’s sure of it. Her daughter won’t have a mother’s hand to hold when learning to walk. Her husband will be left a widower, forever broken by the loss of his love. She closes her eyes and accepts her fate as she drifts further out to sea. She floats for a long while, the salinity in the water steadily…

    The wave was murky coming towards like a rigid and supreme barrier. It began to coil over, he looked up the wave loomed over him. His father’s words came back to him giving him an urge of determination “a true mariner never deserts a sinking ship.” It heaved itself onto his boat. The boat shredded apart, jagged pieces of timber where floating and he was left sinking. His boat had plunged into the depths of the enigmatic ocean. The salted sea pricked at his delicate eyes and his spectral face white washed. He was crawling for breath kicking his feet neurotically. He managed to clench onto a residue of his boat his naked fingers scratching the plank and splinters dashing up his finger nails. For him time felt suspended. His clothes saturated with water clinging on and sticking onto his skin. He was wrinkling like a prune. He had a vacant expression, solitude was conquering him. He had to overcome this despair as the turbulence of the storm…

    After half an hour, we arrived at the graveyard. The graveyard was deserted and had hundreds of graves spaced out all over the field. The faint wind moaned through the trees and the grass danced. There was a high-pitched howl every so often. I feared that it might have been the dead spirits that came to complain about being disturbed. But I knew that ghosts weren’t real until…

    In the essay “In Praise of Margins” by Ian Frazier, Frazier mentions that the world is a place where adults tend to get caught up in. They do not realize that what they need is that place to breath. He says that marginal places and activities, when he was a kid, were a waste of time, but once he was older and saw his child have their marginal “moment” playing, in the steam instead of fishing, he realizes the importance as an adult. He mentions that we all have a place as a child that we would like to go back and let go of all our responsibilities.…

    One technique used to emphasise the serenity of nature in the visual is the use of colour and its connotations. The colour blue is predominantly used in this visual to convey through its connotations how the visual conveys its peacefulness and beauty, which ultimately allows the reader to establish the distinctive experience of the serenity of nature. Another technique is the use of vectors in portraying the serenity of nature through the ocean. There are many different vectors in the image but the main vector is created by the coral which spreads diagonally across the image, this draws your attention away from where the waves are breaking and focuses on the still water to further emphasise the serenity of the ocean. Finally the use of contrast between the land and water and how they work together in harmony further emphasises the serenity of nature in this image. Therefore from these techniques we are able to establish how the distinct experience of the serenity of nature is…

    Krik? Krat! the Sea

    In the story of “Children of the Sea” the sea holds lots of meaning, and the meaning is very different for each person who is out at sea. For the young man escaping after police raid his radio station, he sees the sea as opportunity. The opportunity to escape a corrupt country and continue his life, but the sea also provides heartache, as this is what separates him from the love of his life. Being at sea also gives the young man hope that one day he can make a better life for himself, as most immigrants flee to America in the hope to live a more promising life. The only way he is able to have some peace with his time at sea, is the notebook he has, where he writes to his love back at home. He tells her of the women on the boat who tell stories and sing, in an attempt to control the seasickness most of them are experiencing. He describes being at sea as lost time, stating in one of his many letters, “sometimes it feels like we have been at sea longer than the many years that I have been on this earth” (14). He is only aware that a day has passed by the raising and setting of the sun. I have always thought of the sea as something beautiful, mysterious even. The sea to me has always provided me with opportunity, the opportunity to experience something new, to explore. But this does not prove…

    Before long however, the stars peeped out and soon, the place was oncemore trance-like (if that’s even a word). The tiny pinpricks of silvery light surrounded the glorious moon that was reflected on the surface of the water. The moon seemed to sink as the tide rose up to meet its original copy. Now bewitched, I stared at the dancing fireflies which added their light to the brilliance around them. I inhaled the scent of the air and felt so calm that I wanted to stay here forever. Nature was such a calming phenomenon that I wondered why humans never appreciated…

    The girl looked at her watch to check the time, but when she lifted her head to thank the old lady, she had gone; disappeared into the ominous mist. When she arrived at the inn, she was shocked to find it looking isolated and in the moons alabaster light the sallow pillars seemed skeletal. She clung to the door as she rapped on it three times, diffidently at first, and then harder. The knocking echoed through the hollow inn, she imagined, from the echo that came back to her that, far away, someone was knocking on another door as if in a parallel dimension, begging for escape. The solid oak door earily opened to greet the small old lady she had seen a mile back. The girl pondered about what was going on as she stepped in. The cobwebs above the bar said no-one had used it for years and the rusty till looked hollow. Yet she didn't ask why it was so empty and ancient looking; she just followed the little old lady to her room, removed her rain soaked clothes…

    "The palms that stood made a green roof, covered on the underside with a quivering tangle of reflections from the lagoon...It was clear to the bottom and bright with the efflorescence of tropical weed and coral. A school of tiny, glittering fish flicked hither and thither." (p.12)…

    In the night’s high tides I look out for boats that are out in the ocean with my oversized flashlight up on the highest point in the lighthouse. “Is anyone out there!?” I yell. I end up finding no response. All that I can hear is the waves crashing onto the rocks. But then for an inexplicable reason, everything feels slower, colder… It’s snowing! I think to myself. I run down the stairs of the lighthouse and What do I see? I see the snow piled on the grass like solid clouds clumped on the green world. I hear the moose, just waking up, and already running around. I drive back home and I see frost stuck on people's houses like sugar stuck on a wooden ladle. Cold, I resumed my trip home. I seem to run into a moose,…

    The Seafarer Essay

    “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.…
