Beach Analysis

Sitting on the shore of a beach you would expect a lot of sand, on this beach there is a lot of rocks and small pebbles which does make it tough to walk on as I feel my shoes fill slowly with the coarse mix of sand and rock. Looking around there are many people with dogs, most off leashes. I can hear them barking at each other and doing their business on the beach with their owners just burying it in the sand. The strong odor of the seaweed is very heavy in the breeze, and it is strung all over the beach. There is so much in fact that the taste of it is stuck in my mouth, which makes my stomach turn a bit.

I have been to many beaches in my life on many different continents and they all have many pros and cons. Up here on Whidbey Island it is tough to find anything bad anywhere, but when I really opened my eyes and I was alone I could see different this that did bother me for the negative impression of the beach. I chose the words that frame the subject in the desired way or have desired connotations. To give a honest review, and without using a picture along with the description words is all you have to describe it. Also when I go to the beach my youngest daughter always points out how the beach smells. As soon as she gets out of the car she tells me if it is going to be a good beach or a bad beach. So I had her voice in the back of my head saying “the beach smells funny”. I did also use details to support my intentions with “ the subtle rushing of water is a relaxing sound”. I don’t think anything is more relaxing that sitting on the beach with your eyes closed and just listening to the waves coming

    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 statute of limitations does not bar this action. ”2 In other words, because the Corps promised and then delayed their proposed sand transfer plant in 1988, the statute of limitations could not be used to prevent the case, because it is only good for more than six years2 from either the original tort or, in this case, a promise to fix the tort. Pitman set the precedent for the Owen Case, which prevented the use of navigational servitude as an argument against their case.…

    a) Another example of how humans have impacted the stimulus coastal environment is urban development of the coastline. The increased amount of people living near the coast has resulted in more residential construction along the coast and the development of sand dunes for 'prime' real estate and recreational purposes.

The construction of buildings, including the marina in the stimulus photo, on top of sand dunes has also seen the increase in the rate of erosion and the loss of sand at several beaches.

    Ipperwash Beach has been my home away from home for as long as I can remember. Some of my earliest memories include getting thrown off the inner tube into waves so big they could swallow me whole, campfires that my grandfather would build rain or shine, just so we could get that perfect bedtime treat and a sun burning so bright I thought the sweet summer would never end. As far as I was concerned, Ipperwash Beach was a magical place that couldn’t do any wrong. From a young age, I can remember the whispers and lingering stares I received when I would mention to a camp counsellor or adult family friend that it was almost time to go to the beach.…

    Often times we talk to individuals about their favorite vacation spot or where the place they feel the most at rest is; the response we get most often is the ocean.

    Milly’s experience at the beach is that of “building friendships” (Smith and Thomason, 150). Through this experience, Milly displays signs of childhood because children, when befriending other children, do not look at the differences and similarities, but rely on their emotions. Milly, still has a childlike trait that enables her to befriend people who do not meet the social standards and conventions.
