The Waves

nature is constantly against them. “These waves were of the hue of slate, save for the tops, which were of foaming white, and all of the men knew the colors of the sea. The horizon narrowed and widened, and dipped and rose, and at all times its edge was jagged with waves that seemed thrust up in points like rocks” (Sec. I) . This quote is an example of how nature is an incredible struggle because the men are struggling to overcome these huge and dangerous waves that nature presented them with.…

Steve, led us and told us which way to paddle. “Right! Right! Right!”, he yelled. The water splashed into our boat, it was like getting hit with little ice cubes. My hands were gripped tightly around the paddle as we steered clear of the next big wave. “Good job, that was the easiest one.” I looked over at Ashli and shock flooded our faces. The next set of rapids was coming up, we prepared our paddles. The flowy water turned into a big white bear. The water was the bear, and we were…

surfing" said Koda. I could feel the soft squishy sand as I got down on my stomach and rolled onto my board. The water picked my board up and I started paddling out to sea with Koda. The waves were got higher as we got deeper to sea. I could barely see Koda though the waves. Every time I tried to get over a wave it would always push me back to the beach. I kept trying and I finally got over…

sail boating, went swimming in the ocean, buggy board, sand volleyball, swam in the pool, walked the beach at night, got henna tattoos, a dread in our hair and went to the club with my brother and Emerson. The sand on my feet, the crashing of the waves, people swimming in the ocean, the smell of sunscreen and the wonderful taste of my flamingo drink; Mexico is my kind of place to be. But the first day in particular sticks out to me the most, the day we went parasailing and sail boating. Waking…

spectacle, it is a thing that is made up of vibrating waves that move up and down back and forth. Two ways to think of sound in a real life example are: 1st a slinky; the way it jiggles back and forth is much like how a sound wave can jiggle, 2ond a water wave; the way that the wave looks much like a squiggly horizontal line that is what sound waves act much like. A vibration, A.K.A the up and down slinky motion and the to and fro water wave motion, are called vibrations. A definition of…

vibrations . How sound work is the vibrations emit from whatever has made the sound in what is known as a longitudinal wave.A longitudinal wave is a wave that travels in a single direction. Next how can we hear sound. We can hear sound from a longitudinal wave for example when a tree falls and energy is released vibrations are created and a longitudinal wave is sent out but anyone might not hear the sound. In order for someone to hear the sound somebody would have to be on the other side. Most…

confusion, sadness and panic. She begins to watch the constant movement of people. It reminds her of the sea at high tide, when the waves are strong enough to knock you off your feet. At that moment Sarah is swept along, floating on the crest of the wave towards the train, bobbing along the platform buoyant with hope. Confusion, sadness and panic floating away with every wave she rides towards the train. Boarding the Grand Central train heading North on autopilot her head filled with…

end of “The Seventh Man”, the author, Haruki Murakami, had finally realized that in order to obtain closure from the terrible events he experienced, he would have to overcome his fears. In the story, the narrator’s best friend is killed by a giant wave right before his eyes. The narrator feels as though he might have been able to save him, but he was too scared to try. Consequently, in the closing paragraph, he states, “Oh, the fear is there, all right. It comes to us in many different forms, at…

Crack! Boom! Pow! Went the thunder I was so scared I started shaking. My family and I were on a iceberg suddenly the iceberg broke I was drifting away from my family I tried to swim, but the waves were to big. I drifted far away and I couldn’t see anything but fog so I went to sleep and decided to find a way home tomorrow. When I woke up I saw a boy and a girl staring at me “are they going to hurt me”? I thought I looked around and found out that I was on a small Beach and in the distance I…

Another example is when he sees a light out in the distance of the ocean. He hops on the raft and tries to paddle all the way out to it. He passes a couple of waves then sees a huge wave brewing. The wave flips the whole raft over and a coral reef stabs Chuck’s leg. Knowing the power that the waves have is essential. If there was no waves Chuck could swim all the way out to the light. Another example is Chuck using things on the island to survive. Chuck becomes pretty good at collecting food.…
