    In Roxane Gay’s article “Why the Beach Is a Bummer” she explains her outlook on the beach and why it’s a place of discomfort rather than fun. “This is an ideal beach of hot sun, warm sand, crystal-clear water that leaves your skin salted. But it is all too often a mirage”(Gay) the beach isn’t always a place for everyone, and the expectations of the beach often leave people let down or disappointed. As much as I do love the beach and enjoy laying in the sun I agree with Gay’s perspective of the beach to an extent.…

    The production company, Cape Cod Theatre Company, did a terrific job in the production of “Selkie: Between Land and Sea” and we can catch that from Ellen Petry Whalen review’s.

    The location I chose for this assignment is my home county, San Diego. San Diego is known for having the best weather in the United States, which it can attribute to its geology. San Diego is also well known for consistent droughts; however, its current unique geography is a result of ancient rivers and seas depositing Cretaceous and Tertiary sedimentary rocks. As a result of these ancient rivers, “San Diego County can be divided between three distinct geomorphic regions: the Coastal Plain region as exposed west of the Peninsular Ranges, the Peninsular Range region, and the Salton Trough region as exposed east of the Peninsular Ranges. This geomorphic division reflects a basic geologic difference between the three regions, with Mesozoic metavolcanic,…

    I read Neil Gaiman’s The Ocean at the End of the Lane last year for Literature & Rhetoric II. However, to be honest, I definitely tired of reading Neil Gaiman works once we got to this novel. We had already read The Graveyard Book, a volume of The Sandman comics, and The Wolves in the Walls. It was one Gaiman work too many and, last year, I did not really enjoy it too much.…
