The shoreline disintegration brought on by Hurricane Katrina truly destroyed shorelines and whole islands. The ranges influence by Hurricane Katrina had as of now been debilitated by Hurricane Ivan a year prior, and the toll brought on by Katrina totally changed the scene. The Chandeleur Islands, off the shoreline of Louisiana, no more exist after Hurricane Katrina, and the celebrated beacon on those islands was decimated. Disintegration from Hurricane Georges in 1998 had already everything except pulverized the island, however they had improved when Katrina hit. Since Katrina, land studies have demonstrated that the islands are not changing.

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
We can see that the quote is demonstrating the impatient approach towards love in within someone increases when beauty does not surround you. Despite this story using a various approach towards manipulating us to the theme, the poem uses literary and symbolic devices to exhibit the poets life. However, in the poem, the poet uses the ocean to show that all of his emotions are mixed to form one big vast area. In line 2 it mentions”What is there in the great sphere of the earth”. This demonstrates that the area is so vast, that peace cannot be eradicated in a few areas, and
The ocean can be heard from the side of the dock, the blue water lapping on the side of the boat. I look out on the horizon, amazed by the simplicity yet inspiring beauty of the ocean that runs for miles and miles. Behind me is the land that will become my new home. The dark wood of the boat against the water makes me remember the long journey that we have traveled. I turn around and face the land that will become a new start for us all; the place where we can be free and set out to do what we came here for.
The beach symbolize the childhood that jerry was living in because when he was at the beach he didn't care about nothing anybody said to him. “they understood that he was a foreigner strayed from his own beach, and they proceeded to forget him. But he was happy. He was with them.” (3) .

John Brehm does not mean a geographical body of water, but rather that the way people are unsure about faith and the level of believing, as though one is drifting on water without the reassurance of firm ground beneath his or her feet. The comparison made is people’s faith to a full body of water. In realism world, a sea is a wide and deep body of water as far as the eye can see. The author in this poem intends to give a reader a clear image of people’s faith which is like an unending body of water which is always full. John Brehm also goes further to use the
One of my fondest memories has always been waking up every day of summer to the slight hint of sound of the Beach Boys’ “Surfin’ USA” playing in the backround of my whole entire house. That melody, in my house, meant my Dad was going surfing. Technically, he was blasting that song in the garage while waxing his surfboards, but it was so loud that it would echo into the house. If I wasn’t lazy, I would jump out of bed, eat the bacon he made me knowing I would wake up ready to surf with the “Beach Boys” cue, and then hop into the car to go surfing with him. My dad grew up, and still is, obsessed with the Beach Boys, therfore, I grew up always listening to them.
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

Sometimes when I am relaxing at the beach I will listen to music. My favorite type of music to listen to while I am at the beach is Country music. Country music is upbeat and happy and most country songs talk about being on the beach or somewhere tropical. The sound of birds chirping is another thing I will hear at the beach. The big groups of seagulls will chirp loudly if someone tries to run after them or if they feel endangered.

Contrasting images are used between the beginning and end of the poem. At first, the speaker is described as standing on a “wide strip of the Mississippi beach,” (Trethewey l. 2) while her grandmother is standing on a “narrow plot of sand.” It symbolizes the freedom the speaker now compared to the confinement and limited opportunities her grandmother experienced.
