Boat

Little did we know that patience was going to be needed that day. We were packing everything in a zombie-like state, still half asleep and groggy because it was so…

It had ore holders and a rope on the front in order for someone to drag it behind them in the shallow parts or to tie to the steps that lead into the cold waters of Lake St. Clair. My father loved that orange boat and he and his five siblings claimed that I was unsinkable. It lasted the wear and tear of burning hot summers with crazy thunderstorms and through freezing…

Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket” “I am going to go to sea-you may go home if you think proper.” This is a quote from “The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket.” August's one of the main characters who said it to Arthur before getting on the boat.

Frank nodded to me in understanding, climbing out the small boat into the larger one. Minutes seemed to last as long as hours waiting for his return. We reserved his spot, but our boat was filling quickly. Broads of all sorts, rich and filthy alike were all around…

Lafayette-Orinda Presbyterian Church on March 4th, 2017. There, I watched the Advanced Treble Choir from Marin High School perform, directed by Stevie Greenwell. I enjoyed the concert very much. The songs selected were all very different. “Selene’s Boat” was very soft and the choir stayed very still throughout the song. “Ave Maris Stella” was a required piece, but the choir did it well. They performed it at a slow tempo, and sang the entirety of the song without the conductor. Finally, the…

It was an event that ushered Australia into what is now more than a decade of constant failures to meet humanitarian conventions and international laws outlined by the United Nations and ratified by the Australian…
