The Beach Boys most powerful song Don’t Go Near the Water discusses how dangerous pollution is to the Earth and the people living on it. During the time this hit was released environmental awareness wasn't brought up as much as it is today, thus, leading to them to release the song to help spread the importance of not polluting the Earth. This relates to Environmental Protection Agency due to its message of wanting to help the environment and protect humans. We chose this song because of the awareness it brings to the issue of pollution and how it affect us in the long

    Childhood Memories Of Ipperwash Beach

    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.…

    How The Sea In Neil Gaiman's The Ocean At The End Of The Lane

    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. This is because the ocean is restorative. The quiet roar of the waves, the sound of seagulls chirping, the salty breeze, the ocean is a place of peace. For many the sea is not just a vacation destination, but the sea is a friend. Something that is consistent, and always listening.…

    Film, An Analysis Of Mulcahy's

    The film opens with a high overhead shot of a single swimmer, and moves through to a scene in a public pool with the sounds of children encouraging their brother in his underwater swim. Note the choice of music – extra-diegetic music, synthesised, harmonious, new-age kind of music in which gives a peaceful, calm effect – the idea is that water, for our protagonist, has spiritual associations beyond just being fun and freedom. His music becomes a motif that recurs through the film. Mulcahy says in an interview that is was his intention to create two worlds; the pool, with childhood associations of fun, freedom, fellowship, and later, adrenaline and excitement – but overall the spirituality of it. The choice of electronic music promotes that…

    Choking The Oceans With Plastic

    The way we neglect our ocean with heavy amounts of pollution can potentially affect our lives in a negative manner. Driving cars and the use of plastic is essential to our daily lives, but we use them without the concern for how they are affecting the habitats on Earth. Some people think that the chance that they are doing harm to the ocean is less important to them than cost or inconvenience of fixing a pollution problem. Through sources from researchers and scientists, they have found evidence of pollution caused by the two essential commodities in our lives, plastic and burning fossil fuels. Environmentalists have found solutions to reduce the plastic waste in our ocean as well as attempting to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in the atmosphere…

    Destin Florida-Personal Narrative

    During April of 2015, I stepped out of the car and onto the beach for the first time in Destin, Florida; the salty sea stung my nose as I breathed in a refreshing breath of briny air. The first step onto the sand was like a bed of blankets; soft and comfortable. The way the white sand glided onto my feet and squished between my toes felt like heaven. The waves were singing a delicate lullaby, pulling me closer to them. As I walk towards the ocean with the warm sand beneath my feet, the cold waves lap at my ankles, as if they want to take me away.…

    The song I chose is “Surfin’ U.S.A.”, is characterized by the Beach Boys. I chose this song because of how laid back the tune sounds and makes me want to relax. It’s relaxing because the song reminds me of the beach and the sounds of the waves. In the song it talks about how they will be gone for the summer and to tell the teacher they have gone surfing. The summer always reminds me of the beach and all the surfers in the water.…

    The Beach Boys

    The Sound was originally identified for harnessing a wide-eyed, sunny optimism that marked southern California teenage life in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Its imagery is primarily represented by Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys, who are credited for the Sound's instigation via their debut single "Surfin'" in 1961. Along with Jan and Dean, the Beach Boys encapsulated surfing, hot rod culture, and youthful innocence within music which transformed a local lifestyle into American mythology. Other propellants included songwriters and/or record producers Gary Usher, Curt Boettcher, Bruce Johnston, Terry Melcher, and Roger Christian.…
