simply watching the waves roll in and out at its own pace can be astonishing and a moment to remember. The beach is great to look at. This paper will include information about a beach’s pretty white sand, gorgeous blue oceans, and clear baby blue skies. Walking along the beach , I can see smooth sand beneath my feet. The grainy texture underneath me as I walk toward the big blue ocean. With each step I take, looking…

My Little Country Side My special place is in Ravia, Oklahoma, it is a small abandon chicken farm in the middle of no where. It is my special place because I went there as a child, its secluded from other people, its absolutely breath taking at sun down, and I think other people should get to see the beauty of the country side. As a child I went down to this chicken farm in Ravia, Oklahoma, to ride my four-wheeler with my step father Ernest Gilbert and my little sister Ashley Gilbert. We would…

Can’t we just stay home and put on a movie for the kids?” Victoria lolled her head to the side –the thought of trekking all four kids down to the beach and then trying to have an enjoyable afternoon while trudging through the sand was exhausting. They hadn’t even left the house, and she was already exhausted. “You used to love walking on the beach,” Joshua said. He threw out a fake pout, hoping she would bite. “Don’t make me take these monsters alone. They’ll eat me as…

Pavement hot enough to fry an egg, 100 degree weather, scorching hot sun beaming down, long summer days, and all people want to do is lay outside catching some rays, soaking in the vitamin D. What is the first thing thought of to cool off? An ice bath? Too cold. A popsicle? Too sticky. A mouth watering, refreshing, ice cold, coca cola? Perfect. A drink that doesn’t age and never gets old. Coca Cola has guaranteed to make even the best summer days better since 1892. One advertisement in…

I had heard so much about the place and wanted to check it out. But I reached late in the evening and I was told that the Matrimandir shuts early. I found a basic shack and a home stay to stay owned by Senthil, a guy in his late 20s. He and his grandmother were my host. He told me this was not a luxurious place, but…

mystery. There is no telling how deep the water reaches or what lies below. The complexity is demonstrated by the ever changing tide. Carson implies that the place where humankind can feel safe with the complex beauties of life is where the water and sand meet. In her final sentence, Carson also describes how the edge continues to attract people because of its beauty. Life which is seemingly very complicated, can be simplified and its purpose becomes clear (219). Most associate the edge with the…

The Quest to Find the Sand Dollar Screech, slam, ploof! The young twelve year old girl pulls her chair up to the ridge and drops her stuff in the soft, warm sand while the sun was shining bright and gleaming down on her. She was very excited because today her mother had taken her down to the turquoise ocean water from their rental beach house. Summer break had just started that week and the young girl was eager to relax and enjoy the beach. She loved shells and collecting them as far…
