East of the highlands, cutting off the interior from the cost, there is more desert- the Taru, a barrier which in large part accounts for the very different shifts of history and culture. For the cost- satisfyingly predictable in its palms, white sands and warm sea – shelters a quite distinct Islamic Swahili civilization and a long historical record in its mosques and tombs and the ruins of ancient towns cut out from the…

My Magnificent Experience in Nature Imagine a sunlit sea, the deepest blue the eyes can see. The waves are forming and crashing with grace and the sharp smell of salt lingers in the air. In the distance, birds mimic the sounds of boats passing. I had always felt a mutual appreciation with the sea, it was as though we both enjoyed eachothers company. In that moment as the sun lingered above, every ripple the tide brought in and every breeze from the surface felt harmonious. I’ve had many…
One bright, hot sunny day, my mom and I went on a walk to the beach. That’s one of our favorite thing to do on the weekend. The hot sand on my bare feet, the bright rays of the sun beaming on my back, the waves of the clear blue ocean crashing against the rocks. We walked by a shop that read, “ Help Wanted. “ I thought to myself how exactly jobs work. Do you have to go to college for all jobs? How long do you have to be in college to actually get a job? I have multiple questions of college, but…
When people hear “Sheepshead Bay”, they always think about the big beautiful houses and small local business surrounding the bay area. The bay is a portion that separates Coney Island from Manhattan Beach. It has a small boardwalk where many of the local businesses have settled down for years. People know the area to be a small and close friendly neighborhood. However, there are more sightings of condos being built in this neighborhood that was once filled with big houses and small stores. In…
I've been thinking about the beach, waters and the sands for weeks now realizing I haven't even shared our Canyon Cove getaway yet. It is something that is worth sharing for and I can't believe I almost forget to blog about it. So without further adieu, here is the story of our first long drive (just the three of us) and beach escapade. The best part is, it was well an unplanned trip. January was supposed to be a month for our barkada (college friends) outing. Our personal belongings were all…
Growing up on Long Island I believe, is a gift. There's no other place like it, the beaches, the farms and the city it has it all. To many Long Island is just a name or a place on the map, but to me this lovable fish-shaped island is home. In a small town called North Babylon, I grew up, made my closest friends and memories I'll have with me forever. I established the person I am today because of that town and the environment I grew up in. I've been in the same house all my life and I couldn't…
Time is constant, it will always be moving forward. Making the hour and a half long drive to the beach does not seem so bad now but as a kid it seemed like an everlasting eternity in the backseat. At least, that’s the way I remember my families trips to the beach. I especially loved our Pismo camping trips because we would always leave on Fridays to beat the traffic and I would never have to go to school that day. I was nine years old turning ten this weekend and I was extremely excited. As me…
stretched in an endless horizon; it was the most spectacular sight, while the first tear drop allowed the rest to create a stream. With tears rushing down my face, I could not do anything but sit across the crawling waves drenching the sand. I reached out for the golden sand and sifted a handful of small worthless stones through the gaps of each finger. The droplets of salty water stung my wounds in my bloody barefoot, as the waves slithered its way up. The pain was numbed by the exhaustion,…
Setting: Soil symbolizes the setting in the novel “Witness” because like the soil is the base of a plant, the setting is the foundation of where and when the story takes place. The specific setting in the book is in “Vermont” and the time period is “1924” (Hesse 1). This provides the reader with a very general and basic idea but does not fully explain the setting. To enhance this, a social setting also exists and it is the main conflict, discrimination developed by the Ku Klux Klan entering…
