Summary Of The Beach Poem By Bruce Dawe

The poem “Beach Chairs”, written by Joyce Ebrecht, is one of many poems that share a meaning of love. The situation of the poem is that of two couples sitting on beach chairs and watching the world pass by while thinking about their love for each other. The overall themes of this poem are that of love and unity. Joyce Ebrecht achieves these overall themes through the structure, diction, figures of speech, pace/rhythm, and sounds of the poem.

The lyrics “Our home is girt by sea” describe the continuing connection that all Australians have with our bordering seas. Eighty five percent of all Australians live within fifty kilometers of the coast. Along with Australia’s love of the coast, our coastal waters hold many of nature's best gifts and landmarks that are deeply associated with “Advance Australia Fair”. The words “young and free”and “boundless plains to share” speak of the trueblue fairdinkum Australian that is seen in Australia

But as the poem continues, it is interrupted by events that are unnaturalistic which shifts the view of the beach. In the poem, a point occurs where the beach is drastically changed both physically and mentally: “You hear the grating roar… But now I only hear / Its melancholy, long, withdrawing roar / Retreating, to the breath” (Arnold 9, 24-26) The differences between the “grating roar” and the “withdrawing roar” of the beach is that when water crashes closer towards land, the beach grates against rocks on purpose. But “withdrawing” roars of the beach shows that the beach wants to escape from land, and venture “down the cast edges… and naked shingles of the world”(Arnold 27-28) where no men can interfere. This excerpt further justifies that men have become too overwhelming and warlike to a point where everyone wants to flee from the danger. The “melancholy [and] long[ing]” of the beach shows that this war won’t end in the near future and will gradually continue. Arnold further justifies taking a stand for oneself when stating how the beach moves towards the “naked shingles of the world.” The beach could be viewed as citizens because in the beginning, we are mostly innocent and calm but whenever an event takes place, we just go along with the circumstance, similar to how water flows with each other and never goes off by itself. We follow what society tells us to do and what is safe to do but in the end, people, running from a problem isn’t the best solution and should stand up for what is

The parentheses in the first and last stanzas: “(To play one day)” and “(like you or me)” represent the day to day and any day actions that take place at the beach.

The poem “Dover Beach” is one that carries many deep themes that are exemplified through the use of rhetorical devices. There is one theme, however, that stands out more that the rest and that is “man and the natural world.” With the use of two specific rhetorical devices, the poem gains qualities that would be sorely missed without them. The use of epithets throughout the poem allows the reader to grasp what each of the described words is meant to convey. Symbolism in “Dover Beach” expands the meaning of the poem as it provides the reader with a secondary vision to the connections made between the lines. The relationship between man and nature is vital to the poem. With the use of rhetorical devices, the reader is able to truly understand

The sequestered shoreline represents Edna’s own sense of alienation among society. As Edna reaches the beach, she is alone with “no living thing in sight.” Her feelings of desertion are emphasized by her surroundings. After being left by Robert, she no longer has hope for thriving in a culture that looks down on her need for freedom. Chopin adds to this later in the scene, describing Edna’s state as “absolutely alone.” She is not only alone on the beach, but in all

The warm and inviting black sand beach is not usually swimmable due to the violent surf and ocean currents, but makes a wonderful place to picnic and contemplate the awesome power and violence of nature.

Growing up in Australia my whole life in the surf has been exciting and interesting. You never know what you are going to do and see, but if there is only one thing you can rely it is having a great time down at the beach with friends. Carving up the waves and frying your already bronzed skin until it’s night.

While yes, how could one not love the beach, my heart has always been with the high pace, never tired, alway bright, city. Fifty story buildings light up the sky while clubs, stores, and restaurants light up the streets. As entertaining as all that must sound, you should be greatly surprised when I tell you, that was not even the greatest part. Signs, words, and names, those were the attention grabbers throughout the city. It seems simple, I know, but when you are six years old and don’t have a very good attention span, simple things can be all the entertainment you need to stay busy while stuck in the back seat of a boring car. Within only a mile, the amount of these simple yet captivating words or phrases you would see could fill its own dictionary. Road signs labeled words from “STOP” to “Speed Limit” covered the streets. My brothers favorite was always the bright, yellow taxi cabs with an advertisement that lit the roof showcasing a wings restaurant or a fancy nightclub. Public bus benches sat on every corner selling an air condition company or handy man. My favorite was always the different names of places on their buildings. These were all different fonts and colors that always interested me and kept my eyes busy as we passed.

My general reasoning behind painting the beach is that I feel that it is a place where people are able to express their thoughts, while being able to reflect on themselves as an individual. It is a place of tranquillity, which works well alongside the theme of self-image. Overall, I am satisfied with the end result of this practical and how the artwork conveys a sense of emotion and meaning through the reflection. It genuinely connects with my intended meaning of self-image.

In this place, despite all the hardships that they have gone through, they still find peace on this place.
