Sailing

another reason why the expedition went horribly wrong. The external factor would be having no food or water and having to resort to eating the dogs for survival. The last internal and external factor would be the up-to 80 foot waves they faced while sailing and having to make the internal…

In “The Girl from Everywhere by Heidi Heilig, Nixie and her father, Slate do not get along very well, and Slate does not want Nixie to be sailing with him at all. Her father wants to go back in time and prevent her from ever being born. In the story, it states “It was at our final destination, however, where we hoped to unmake the mistakes of his past. Mistakes like me, perhaps.” When Nixie was talking about this it looked and felt like she was nervous and scared and while reading it I felt…

always coming back for more; it has taught me to persevere through any adversity. Also through my sailing against Lambert, I have learned to always look on the bright side of a dark cloud of failure; whether it be in school, athletics, or everyday life, whenever I lose confidence in myself everything feels like a house of cards in a hurricane. Instead, I have decided to smile and let skiing and sailing turn me into a floater that bounces from a fresh cloud of snow to the rhythm of the…

Its soundtrack is one of the most beautiful and catchiest I have ever heard and I often find myself stuck with the music and lyrics in my head. The song “We Know the Way” is especially one of my favorites because of the message it portrays about sailing and because of its lyrics and how it incorporates some polynesian into it. The setting of Moana being in Polynesia and the way the creators depicted it is outstanding. Through the beautiful clear water, the luscious green grass, the vibrant…

leap/ In fiery ringlets from their sleep [.]” With this specific and vivid detail one can now assume that not only is the speaker near the ocean, but that the is presumably in a small canoe. Nevertheless, the speaker clarifies that he is in fact sailing as he approaches a place described as the “cove.” At this cove, the speaker eventually makes a stop for he tells us that the boat has reached the “slushy…

Indian Ocean sailing was done by sight of land, navigation was lackluster. Therefore, navigating the open sea was seen as impossible. The people that would conquer this phenomena would not be European explorers of 1400-1700. Fairly, the major technological, technical…

Legends, a mix of truth and fantasy that's passed down for many of years and will continue to be passed down for many more. We’ve all heard legends of mystic beast roaming in the sea such as the kraken. The kraken has always been a legend in our stories, but what if it wasn't just a legend? It is said that all legends have a hint of truth in them the legend of the kraken is no different. Over years of evidence such as gigantic tentacles being found and constant stories of sea captains our…

point we are now, it has to be curiosity and the need to explore not only our surroundings but also ourselves. Behaviour or endeavours that start as adventurous never persist in their high risk state. The continuation of a certain endeavour, like sailing to America, becomes more stable every time it is done. In this case, repetition means safety. Our urge to make everything safer and secure has given us the same opportunities as our thrill seeking nature has done. Yearning for exploration and…

faith in them. Until we reach New York, I will enjoy the Titanic’s amenities. The restaurant menu is quite exquisite, and sailing in second class is nice. For dinner we had baked haddock with sharp sauce, and finished it off with some American ice cream. I complete this entry from my bunk. Hopefully I will able to sleep well with the hum of the engines in the background, but sailing full steam ahead at night provides little comfort. However, if I am unable to sleep, I…

The following reflection analysis will describe the crises in the Jarret Family, taken from the film, “Ordinary People.” After the death of their older son Jordan “Buck” in a sailing accident and the subsequent suicide attempt by their younger son Conrad, the family goes through countless difficulties and emotional instabilities.
