Cliff

A young boy stands at the peak of a cliff. He looks over the edge with no discernible ground below. The boy smiles, lifts his arms, and falls into oblivion. Soon the boy feels the pressure on his back as he is flung back up even higher than the cliff he was previously on. He slows to a stop and stays there, floating among the clouds. Many dreamers wish for this boy’s freedom, the freedom of lucid dreaming. The idea of being aware while dreaming and being able to consciously influence dream…

Taking her advice by word of mouth, we hiked through the west trailhead and emerged out onto a steep cliff side overlooking Portage and Lummi Island in the distance. Without realizing it at the time, we had passed through our proverbial threshold. Like stepping through the other end of the wardrobe and into Narnia, we ignored the fact that we were only…

The Hike That Changed My Life I have had numerous experiences that have resulted to who I am today. Many of these experiences are small and may seem insignificant to others, but they mean so much for me. For some experiences, the impact has been small and comes only in small doses. However, for other experiences such as the mountain hike I will talk about herein, the impact has been huge and completely life changing. Through this perspective, I find it easy to conclude that my life is a…

trying to cling onto him. Also Holden wants to try to save kids from ending up like him, “Thousands of little kids, and nobody's around--nobody big, I mean--except me. And I'm standing on the edge of some crazy cliff. What I have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff--I mean if…

The technique imagery is used in the poem, such as the violent torrents and calm fountains, from red cliffs, the sun, lightning, thunder, and a cloud shaped like a demon. All together the imagery effect is presented to the readers, an image of Poe’s isolation. It also provides images of Mother Nature that Poe use to describe the things that shaped his life, the good things “fountain and the red cliff of the mountain” and the bad things “thunder and the storm.” In the lines “I have not been, as…

I will not spoil the surprise by telling you what it says. Anyway the sign is somewhat misleading. Most folk regard the vista point, located at the brink of a cliff, as Burst Rock. The fancy sign, however, is just plunked next to the trail, close to where you should start thinking about leaving the path if you wish to visit Burst Rock. And I encourage you to think so. Burst Rock should not be missed. As the trail…

memories, 3D art makes you see things that aren’t actually there. In 2018, Hill illustrated a drawing that can be perceived as a cliff in the middle of a pavement if it is seen from the right viewpoint. In one illustration, a man is shown in the mid-air looking as if he is trying to jump over a cliff. This gives the perception that the man is actually attempting to jump over a cliff (Hill, 2018). This strengthens…

My head was pounding with an unceasing thud thud, thud thud, thud thud. I opened my eyes and scrutinize my body for reasons why I felt pain. Red blood oozed out of a gashed wound on my thigh. I felt, I felt, I felt, I don’t know the word to how I felt. * I probably lack the knowledge of the word because of my head injury. After I discovered my wounded leg I heard a blasting noise from who knew what at the time. * It was a conch… They make an awfully loud clamor. I felt an urge to go to the…

Theseus and the Minotaur During the Panathenaic Games, Androgeus, the son of Minos, the king of Crete was killed in the running of the bulls by the same bull that impregnated his mother. Consequently, King Minos was devastated by this loss and demanded the king of Athens to give him seven boys and girls each year to be sacrificed to the Minotaur in order to avoid conflict with Crete. The Minotaur is the son of the Mino’s wife and a bull sent by Zeus. When it was time for the third…

Climate change is severely effecting our beaches in Victoria and across Australia. About 24% of the Victorian coast in rock shore, the majority of which is classified as cliffs. While a lot of the coast is still sandy much of this is also classified as a rocky coast with at least 20% of the coast being sandy beaches backed by rock. Coastal areas in Victoria already have some risk of exposure to natural hazards without worsening effects of climate change. For example, Lakes Entrance in East…
