Princess Lucinda Alternate Ending

Decent Essays
Princess Lucinda could hear people talking excitedly, she was not sure if she was dreaming or if the conversations came from the upper deck. The voices were faint, she couldn't understand everything they were saying, but she was certain regarding the subject of their conversation. She was not sure why everyone was up so early. Then Lucinda remembered the captain had mentioned that they were due to land early the next morning.

She felt the ship's swaying in the waves, an endless sway that took three weeks of traveling on the sea to get used to. The first few days of their voyage had been a challenge and really hard to adjust. She could not have remembered having such difficult days to this point in her life. She not only had to adjust

We caress our skin in the clear mirror to impress everyone else, but we lose ourselves in a world of distortion.

    The accessibility of technology such as the Seashell Radio, an equivalent to modern-day earphones, television, and fast cars contributes to the suppression of the character's emotions. However, the characters refuse to address their emotional struggle because technology plays a main role in their culture. The Seashell Radio’s use is most apparent in Mildred: The thimble radios tamped tight, and an electronic ocean of sound, of music and talk and music and talk coming in, coming in on the shore of her unsleeping mind. The room was indeed empty.…

    Her dreams hadn’t been peaceful, nor did they have much time to develop. It seemed like she was only just laying her head down on her pillow, exhausted to the bone, when the subtle shift of her mattress pulled her from its depths. Was her alarm sounding? Had she slept in later than she intended, running late for work? As the brute got comfortable and eased the sheets down to expose her shoulders, Isla took a slow breath in, confused by the deep voice pressed tightly against her ear.…

    An individual may be faced with a challenge, which can affect their actions either positively or negatively. Journey the North Coast reflects this change when the persona illustrates a positive attitude towards his situation, as he demonstrates an immediate action of the journey beginning, “Next thing, I wake up in a swaying bunk as if on board a clipper clambering at sea”. Gray’s alliteration and simile determines the setting of where the man is situated, which the reader can conclude that the persona is adapting to a new environment, as he has been living on a train and is developing a new form of himself. Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland highlights a discovery that takes place, which results in Alice to be shocked, as it was unexpected. The narrator publishes “…when suddenly, thump!…

    Neither the story of Noah and the ark, nor Pi on the lifeboat with a tiger, can be considered objectively true, in all of their details. But both are metaphors that make comprehensible the passes-all-understanding phenomenon of human survival in extreme circumstances. Or as the Japanese investigators finally acknowledge in the summary report with which the novel concludes, Pi’s is “an outstanding story of courage and endurance in the face of extraordinary difficult and tragic circumstances” (354)... they give up the quixotic quest for objectivity or believability, and adapt a literary framework, acknowledging that Pi’s “story is unparalleled in the history of shipwrecks” (354), just as one might say that Noah’s story is unparalleled in the…

This composition contained several unauthored poems written in Old English that were completed in about A.D. 950 (Allen et. al, eds. 102). Three of these translated Anglo-Saxon poems incorporate remarkably comparable material. These poems demonstrate the difficulty of life at sea from multiple points of view.…

    The movement starts with a very mysterious tone with the instruments playing ascending and descending conjunct scales very quickly. Additionally, the instruments gradually layer on top of one another and then return to a single instrument over and over again to audibly depict the rising and falling of the waves. This layering and very strong sound can correlate to the sharp dark blue color of the waves in the woodblock print As the piece continues, the mood changes back and forth between mysterious, pleasant, and franticly distressed, which are different emotions that one can experience while at sea. These shifts in mood are sudden and random, just as the weather at sea often rapidly changes and causes those on ships, perhaps the ships in the woodblock artwork, to quickly change their attitudes towards being at sea. Around two minutes and ten seconds, higher pitched instrument take over and evoke a very airy feel that can be related to the wind swirling around.…
