South Broulee Analysis

This particular reading assignment and the correlating group discussion really intrigued me to include it as a journal entry because one particularly interesting point was made while sharing our statements found in the book that are still prevalent in present day. In her book, A Voice from the South, Anna Julia Cooper stated, “All I claim is that there is a feminine as well as a masculine side to truth; that these are related not as inferior and superior, not as better or worse, not as weaker and stronger, but as complements” (“A Voice from the South” 277). I would say that this is very prevalent in present day. There are many statistics reported in the United States comparing single mother households and married households that support the

I don’t know about you but I have never been surfing. (in the ocean ) My whole life I have surfed behind a boat. This is called wake surfing, it is where a boat tows you and there is a wave behind the boat and you can ride it. I am predicting from this poem that surfing is very hard, but once you get the hang of it you will progress fast. I can just imagine swimming all the way out to the ocean far enough to catch a good wave and by that time you might be tired. Once you find the perfect wave you swim towards it and turn around to ride the wave. As you are paddling very hard you stand up at the perfect time and carve into the wave to get some momentum. This is what I could imagine if I were surfing.

The Beach is a written in the style of a narrative as if it is telling a story. It begins “at daybreak” and describes all the people on the beach at this time of day. It continues to talk about all the different folk that come to the beach displaying the disparity between people and the walks of life they come from. This choice to represent the beach as a whole rather than focus on one particular group of people is a fairly unique concept and has to represent the disparity within Australia.

The beaches and coves are one of the main tourist attractions given how clear the water is. The two most popular beaches are Main beach and Aliso Creek. Aliso Creek is famous for the shorebreak, which is great for skimboarding. Main beach is in the heart of Laguna and extremely easy to access. In addition there are many restaurants within walking distance of Main beach. However, there are many scenic coves along the coast, that are private.

When you are first learning how to surf, the weather conditions play a large part in determining your success. The ideal day for beginners includes a blue sky, a high temperature, and, most importantly, tame tides. When my cousin Lauren and I step onto the increasingly deserted beach at 5:00 pm, it quickly becomes apparent that the weather is not on our side. The sun barely peaks through the mass of gray clouds covering the sky. A breeze comes in, dropping the temperature to less-than-favorable conditions. Lauren and I look out at the ocean and can immediately tell that these waves are much bigger and much rougher than usual for this beach. Learning to surf is going to be a much bigger challenge than either of us anticipated.

The inclusion of footage of Koby surfing successfully at a turbulent time with the law had the purpose to re-channel the focus from the negative aspects of the “Bra Boys” history to the favourable events that portray them as surfing legends. Abberton was strongly promoting the moral that the “Bra Boys” as a whole, turn their disadvantage into success as the surf was their saviour. Koby Abberton was the figurehead for this storyline and by the use of his career achievements; it effectively cancelled out the negative judgements that could arise from his court case. The use of extreme long shots of the giant waves in Tahiti and Hawaii and the small surfer riding the mammoth waves acted a strong symbol. The relative size of the wave which was further emphasised by the choice of camera shot represents the amount of variables against Koby Abberton – representing the “Bra Boys”.

Like many communities in Tennessee, Briceville's founding was tied to coal mining. Originally known as Slatestone Hollow, early miners used wagons to haul coal to Knoxville until the railroad connected Knoxville and Coal Creek. In 1888, Calvin Brice, who was then the president of the Lake Erie and Western Railroad and would later serve a single term in the U.S. Senate, requested the construction of a spur connecting Slatestone Hollow with Coal Creek. Upon completion of the spur, the community was renamed in Brice's honor. Although the population of Briceville has risen and fallen since the community's founding, residents have never been short of pests. Two common pests found in the area are bed bugs and fleas.

As you are making your way out, you may encounter some large waves. These waves occasionally seem impossible to get around, but there is a way to dodge them. As you see a wave coming, wrap your arms tightly around the board, then flip you and your board over, therefore placing you underwater and your board turned upside down. Because the nose of the board is now pointed downward, the wave will smoothly bypass over you. When you see the wave disappear, you can then flip back over! It is also tricky knowing where to stop paddling and when to start waiting. You don't want to be too close to the shore, yet you don't want to be too far either! Positions change daily, and there are multiple ways on figuring out where to position yourself. One is to know where the current is the strongest and how far apart the waves are from one another. For now, follow other present surfers or ask a lifeguard.

When reading The South vs. The South I come across the problem that the white Southerners had with the Republican wanting to free slaves. The problem persisted as the war continued. The view of white Southerners and Republicans which were led by the president Lincoln were different.

The beliefs of the north and the south differed greatly and conflicted with each other. They were two opposite sides of the political spectrum. The south emphasized states having lots of power and wanted slavery because they believed it was their right to own slaves, in their eyes, the central government had no right to interfere. The north was against slavery and believed it was immoral and slave were people. The north represented equality and emphasized equal rights. Since the northern and southern states needed balance, two states were admitted at a time, one free state and one slave state. Mainly, conflicts against slavery triggered the civil war, which led to 600,000 Americans dying.

The Tweed River Sand Bypassing Project (TRESBP) is a program which aims to allow safe passage in and out of the Tweed River, as well as transport sand to the Northern Beaches. There are several perspectives on TRESBP, and this document will be focusing on the issue from the perspective of two parties: the perspective of surfers concerned about the loss of wave quality, and commercial boating businesses glad because of the maintained, easily navigated and safer entrance to the Tweed River.

As declared by both Senator James Hammond and Hinton Helper both the North and the South knew about their economic divergence. While the North manufactured almost every item of utility and adornment, the South’s economy was mostly based on agricultural products such as rice and cotton. This vast discrepancy between both sides forced them to develop in a conflicting manner that sooner or later would lead to conflict. For the South, its fertile soil and flawless weather for agriculture had the optimal circumstances for large-scale farms and crops like tobacco and cotton. On the other hand, the North with its abundant natural resources and climate made its economy flourish without the need of hefty plantations that required a lot of workforces.

In the story “The Southpaw “ By : Judith Viorist Richard is the one that cares more about the friendship because near the end of the story Richard signs your friend Richard and lets her on the baseball team. And he is giving all her stuff back.

Its cold, windy, and sunny all at the same time. The beach stretches for miles seeming endless, until it reaches a tall cliff with waves crashing against it. The sun shines down on the moisture in the air creating a “sparkling” affect to add to the view. In some spots on the coast giant rock formations stick out of the water, creating a question on how they formed there. Sea creatures dot the sand everywhere. Walking the beach with sand between your toes is and not a worry in your mind is one of the best feelings. If you time it right early in the mornings and late in the night low tide takes place and you can find sand dollars and unique shells. Beautiful houses and hotels line the beach all with the same withered look they all strive to have, and balconies on every place to capture the view.
