He believes in and fears ghosts but doesn’t want to admit it. At the beginning heb has a flashback to his dream. He tries to understand the situation at the beach but instead idles in fear. Ghost Beach first takes place in a cemetery (this is in Jerry’s flashback) where Jerry and his sister are attacked by the undead. Then the scene moves to a more peaceful beach when Terri decides to explore and ends up finding a cemetery. Then they go back home to a cottage by the beach, and later they explore a spooky cave and find thousands of bats living inside. I recommend this book if you like plot twists. Ghost beach was an interesting story for me to read, it had the plot twist, the strange kids, and the very suspicious cousins (Agatha and Brad). The reason why I recommend this book is because it is filled with mystery, and you never crack the case until the end… or do

Analysis Of Why The Beach Is A Bummer By Roxane Gay

242 Words | 1 Pages

In the NY Times article “Why the Beach Is a Bummer,” Roxane Gay exploits the beach and the ways it never actually lives up to the expectation many have when summer comes around. Gay speaks of her childhood on the beaches of Haiti and how beautiful it was, but how different it is in the United States because there's such a high expectation for the beach since many areas aren’t surrounded by them. “The beach becomes a kind of utopia — the place where all our dreams come true”(Gay), meaning the beach becomes romanticized by so many when in reality there’s just sand in places where it doesn't belong whether in your book or on your body. Gay expresses how soon after arriving at the beach boredom approaches from having nothing to do besides

Zadie Smith's Find Your Beach

814 Words | 4 Pages

In “Find Your Beach”, a narrative essay written by Zadie Smith, the writer expresses her belief that is one is adamant enough, one can arrive at their beach - a paradise-like environment that people dream of, but is believed to be very hard to obtain. The idea of a person’s “beach” being hard to discover can be observed through Smith’s personal background, as it is almost mythical for this English writer living in Soho, Manhattan to come by a beach. What I took away from Smith’s text is the idea that when you finally arrive at your beach, “sooner or later you will be sitting on that beach wondering what comes next”. Overall, I interpreted one’s beach being defined as a person’s happiness. It is something we all have the potential to posses
