As time’s clock runs its course, we often find ourselves nostalgic of times that could have been or were. Staring out across an ocean, laughing around a table filled with close friends, or taking a long walk at night humans seek reflection and question if we have proven ourselves worthy. Similar to Walcott in his poem, people begin to reflect when faced with reminders of their past. The magnitude of the narrator’s experience is clearly portrayed in his nostalgic tone and repetition of…

“Dover Beach”: In his “Dover Beach,” Matthew Arnold employs images related to the ocean to establish a theme relating to the cyclical nature of human life. Specifically, he refers to the continuation of misery throughout an individual’s life. This allusion to cycles is supported throughout the poem through the use of tidal imagery. For example, he refers to the French coast and how “the light gleams and is gone” (3-4) This is significant as light often works as a symbol of hope. Therefore, this…

birds. They were able to revive themselves, and this gave them a fighting chance of survival. Three men chose to stay on the island while the others left. Pollard promised he would rescue them after he reached South America. They return back to the ocean, and the men face the same obstacles they faced before they found Henderson Island. The men faced hunger but were still hydrated from the water collected at Henderson Island. Many accepted they weren’t going to live, and gave up their rations.…

which laid the foundation for impressionism to come into prevalence after the Romantic period. This is observed in his painting Rockets and Blue Lights, painted in 1840 with oil on canvas. Rockets and Blue Lights displays a coastal view of the ocean that sprawls across the canvas. The view extends deep into the far distance, where steamboats weather a storm in the vast sea. Water pours and flows from the middle-ground into the right side of the fore-ground in an attempt to swallow the coast. A…

The Columbia River, at 1,243 miles long, is the largest river in the Pacific Northwest and is the fourth-largest river in the United States. Originating from the Rocky Mountains in British Columbia, Canada, it ends in the Pacific Ocean in Oregon, with the largest flow of any river draining into the Pacific. High flow occurs in the late spring and early summer due to snow melt upstream, with low flow being in autumn and winter, causing major water shortages at the hydroelectric plants along the…

Charles A. Lindbergh: Inspiring Aviators throughout the world Interviewer: The sun is shining down and reflecting off the lake. I am now lounging outside on a wood deck with a peaceful view of a lake waiting for Charles A. Lindbergh to arrive.

It’s me, Camille, from Under The Stars newspaper. This…

even say that most children that go to aquariums don’t learn half of what they’re telling them about. You might think the animals are living good, healthy lives but if you need to think about it. Would an animal rather be in captivity or out in the ocean where it belongs? Would an animal rather be ripped away from it’s family and with other species that they don’t even know or would they rather live with species they recognize and understand? They only call themselves educational for money and…

In addition to Global Warming’s impact on water, it also impacts the environment, harming ice and bodies of water, plants, and animals. Firstly, Global Warming leads to a shrinkage of glaciers and causes ice on rivers and lakes to break earlier. This decrease in ice also accelerates the rising of sea levels (NASA, The Consequences of Climate Change). Additionally, Global Warming impacts plants, as they are no longer able to survive in certain climates and locations, and trees are flowering…
