Captain Nemo

The son had loved his father dearly but does not favor his way of life. His interest in school greatly outweighed his interest or desire to work on ‘The Boat’. He still had a love for the sea and in some way felt like he should carry out his family’s tradition. After his uncle had accepted a new job he took his position on the boat and promised his father that we would continue to sail with him for as long as he lived, and when his father passed despite the desires of his mother he followed his dreams and pursued education and all of its wonders. After living his life he finds himself longing for the sea again and isn’t so satisfied with his life.

He did everything in his power to slay the whale, but it wasn’t enough because he later died from his own harpoon. His death wasn’t a surprise either because of all the warnings the sea gave him during the novel.

He also restrained his grief and fear on the prior incident of the murder of his eldest brother. A prominent factor on why I choose this character is because he chose not to let the overpowering despondency to execute his spirits nor of the others’ and his goal to bring them to safety. Naturally, a small boat overfilled with over thirty people did not reach Australia in a smooth journey. They were attacked twice by pirates and were forced to endure scorching heat throughout the day and violent storms during the night.

Nemo then leaves with the rest of his classmates and Mr. Ray. Nemo feels out of place because he is the only one that gets dropped off by his parent. He feels out of place and embarrassed because of this event. Beowulf hears about all the evilness

Christopher McCandless, aka, Alexander Supertramp was a very adventurous character because he experienced many challenges with his family, society, and materialistic items. Christopher was drawn into the wild because he experienced many challenges with his family. Family is everything and many people go through this same challenge as Christopher. Him and his family did not have a close relationship with each other. He did not like that his parents used their wealth for everything.

What I really liked about him was his ability of adaptation to new and scary situation that he faced, and his capacity of deciding what was the best risk to take despite being in full stress and fear. His good manners to the others has also been a way of saving his life because he fell into the good will of Long John Silver, who protected him when the other pirates wanted to kill him. - Long John Silver: This character is like a chameleon and this is what i like about him, his astuteness to play with the others around him and make him go along with his stories, which most of the time where nothing but lies. When things start to get darker for him he manages set himself on a double side game where he starts to work on his salvation from hanging by being good to Jim and his fellows but also keeps the pirates straight in case he finds the treasure.

Although he may not have been the most loyal man while out at seas, his family is what had him motivating himself to proceed forward. When he left, his son was just born. Being out in the ocean island from the island for twenty years, struggling to go home. For a human, that has to be a lot of pain and frustration for one. Making everything even more miserable and unbearable.

The passage personifies the ocean by talking of its playful nature of the currents “weaving in and out of one another” and its ability to change, as it has a mind of its own. The last sentence within the passage states “it was not dead but alive” the use of short sentencing emphasised its point and indicates its importance. However this short verse changes the mood of the passage, the reader is confronted by the abrupt word “dead” this single word changes the tone of the sentence and explores that along with the capability to be alive there also is the capability to be dead. This foreshadows the next passage and the future of the ocean.

'What 's that? ' she asked a waiter and pointed to the long backbone of the great fish that was just now garbage waiting to go out with the tide. 'Tiburon, ' the waiter said, 'Shark. ' He was meaning to explain what dare grapple happened. 'I didn 't know sharks had such handsome tails. ' 'I didn 't either, ' her male companion said." (page 109) these two tourists who speak are hardly differentiated from the group to which they belong. They are all metaphors for individuals who are spectators of the human scene rather than participants in its activity. They see, but they see without fully comprehending. They are only faintly curious, only passingly interested, only superficially observing, they have not been initiated into the mysteries that Santiago understands. These tourists live their lives as tourists, skimming the surface of life, without resolution or clarity. Their life reflects that of all people who live their lives ashore, who dare not grapple with the mysteries of the ocean, or of life. This is the type of life that Hemingway always tried to avoid, to the point of his taking his own life. Hemingway uses metaphors to reflect his opinions of life and the people that he has met in life. The metaphor of the sea symbolizes all of life and the roles that people must choose to have in life. The lions are a metaphor for the

As far as I can remember, I was always attracted to the idea of infinite possibilities. The idea of having so many things out in the world waiting for someone to seize them always intrigued me. This may explain my unwavering attraction to the ocean, where the waves stretch across the far horizon. The ocean is vast, vicious, versatile and can consume a variety of victims in one go. However, despite the known danger, I can't seem to ignore the unlimited beauty and possibilities connected to it. Perhaps it's this paradoxical connection attached to the ocean that draws me to it. I remember my first introduction to the ocean was through Finding Nemo and although a bit exaggerated and inaccurate of the portrayal of fish anatomy, it still managed to bring my childish wonder to its full potential. This led to the purchase of a blue tang for an ever-growing fish tank collection and despite the routine checkup it never failed to captivate my attention as a child. To this day, I believe that movie was the catalyst of my interest of the ocean as it showed a new world

Within The Seafarer, he mourns for the sea when he is on land, but seeks safety in his homeland while he is in cruising the ocean waves. In line's 23-30 lines' states the following, "Storm beat on the rocky cliffs and were echoed by icy-feathered tern and the eagle's screams; no kinsman could offer comfort there, to a soul left drowning in desolation. And who could believe, knowing but the passion of cities, swelled proud with wine and no taste of misfortune, how often, how easily, I put myself back on the paths of the sea." This represents a classic theme of isolation and longing for the near future, the light at the end of the tunnel. "Golden shakes the wrath of God, for a soul overflowing with sin, and nothing hidden on earth rises to Heaven. We all fear God. He turns the earth. He set it swinging firmly in space. Gave life to the world and light to

He illustrates his belief that he does not need the good luck of the Albatross. He decides to severe his bonds with the universal cycle of life and love. Following the execution of the Albatross, the Mariner’s luck suddenly changes. He experiences the punishment that comes with the moral error of killing the Albatross. The punishment is isolation and alienation from everything but himself. Thereafter, the "Nightmare," the life in death, kills his crew. He is lost at sea, left alone in the night to suffer, and he has detached from his natural cycle. The Mariner proclaims his misery when he says, "Alone, alone, all, all alone, Alone on a wide wide sea! / And never a saint took pity on My soul in agony". To the Mariner, nature has become foreign. The execution of the Albatross causes physical and spiritual decay.

Symbolically, the sea is what keeps him apart from the world and that creates exile. There are a lot of symbols and images being used to prove the writer's point: "In icy bands, bound with frost, with frozen chains, and hardship groaned around my heart." (9-11). The images represent how he feels and how he sees his life at that moment. Symbolic gestures such as, "The song of the swan might serve for pleasure, the cry of the sea-fowl, the death-noise of birds instead of laughter, the mewing of gulls instead of mead." (19-22), suggest that sounds can play an effect on a person.

When I was a little girl at early of my age, I spent a wonderful time with my grandma near a sea in my hometown during the last two months of her life. That was the first time we saw the smile back to her face since we got the news that she got intestine cancer. Back to that time I was deeply impressed by how being around the sea was capable to change people’s emotion in such a positive way. The poet, Pablo Neruda, in his poem “The Sea” illustrates how the sea teaches a trapped man a lesson on how to be released from struggling to find freedom and happiness. The three crucial poem-writing elements, sound, structure, and figurative language make the power of sea more vivid just like a picture we could see and have physical feelings about. And when we try to get a deeper understanding of the poem, it is the sound that we hear first.

“I take notice of here, those discontented people, who cannot enjoy comfortably what God has given them; because they see and covet something that He has not give them. – Robinson Crusoe (Defoe 95). In the book, “Robinson Crusoe” the main character Robinson Crusoe was a man who made many choices, some of which were made selfishly, and without the guidance of God or other influential people of whom he should have listened to. Throughout his life Crusoe learned many things through experience. His relationship with God as well as his character improved along his journey and strengthened when he allowed them to. Crusoe’s well aspired dream of becoming a sailor affected his relationship with God and ultimately began his journey of growth.
