The sea: most people have been to it, but very few ever take the time to ponder the meaning of the sea- what it represents and why it is so enticing. In her novel, The Awakening, Kate Chopin utilizes the symbol of the sea to convey her message to the readers: she uses this symbolism to reveal information about the protagonist, Edna Pontellier, as well as to further the cause of a critical (and, at the time of publishing, avant garde) social movement.

In the time of The Essex and In the Heart of the Sea, Nantucket had a population of about 7,000, most of the population living along a road on a rising hill marked with windmills and church steeples. At the waterfront, four large docks extended more than 100 yards into the sea from the harbor. Tied up to these docks were typically 15 to 20 whale ships, along with dozens of other small fishing boats and ships that carried trade goods to and from the island.The first whaling boats were only 20 feet long, launched from beaches along the island’s south shore. Usually a boat would comprise of five Wampanoag (Nantucket Natives) and a white man steering the boat. These boats were only used for whaling around the island, as the had to be rowed back

The thoughts, behaviors and actions of the human being are determined by the mind. The mind is a sensitive place, where our lives are processed, understood and used, to respond to situations that warrant our survival. In an emotional drama written by Jacquelyn Mitchard, The Deep End of the Ocean is a novel with the tension of a thriller, moving deeply through sensitive territories where Beth Cappadora must learn to survive an emotional catastrophe that will change her life forever. The Cappadora’s three-year-old son, Ben, is the center of their lives until he is gone one unfaithful day. Beth struggles to survive with this loss until one day, seven years later, she finds him. The novel follows the Cappadora’s as they cope with a new addition to their lives that presents twists, tragedies, and heartbreaks. Narratives play an essential role in understanding the subject of mental illness by recognizing that traumatic events, dysfunctional families, and the introduction to an unaccustomed environment are routine occurrences that instigate this condition.

The name of my book for language arts it Shadows on the Sea, by Joan Hiatt Harlow. I selected this book because I like mystery books. It gives you something to try to guess on what's gonna happen next. The historical fiction event is the German War against the United States or WWll.

Santiago is an old fisherman from Cuba. He’s a man who doesn’t have much, except for a strong will. From the things he does to the things that he says, he is perceived, by the means of literary analysis, as a Christ figure. For one thing, Santiago is a fisherman. This is the clearest biblical allusion in the entire novel, and it comes straight from the title itself. His endurance throughout the book also reflects the spirit of faith that Christ had, giving us the impression that the old man might have some sort of unspoken bond with the fish, like Christ with his strong love for humanity. The old man struggles and even succeeds in his attempt to catch the fish, only to see it ripped and torn away from him. This is parallel to the story of Christ, who had to bear suffering and betrayal until his death. In many senses, Santiago’s endeavor symbolizes the labor of Christ described in the Gospels.

Setting-The story takes place in Cuba,near Havana, in the 1940’s. Mostly on the water.Most of the novella takes place in the old man’s boat out on the sea.

The novel “In the Heart of the Sea: The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex,” by Nathaniel Philbrick, successfully tells the story of the whale ship Essex that was attacked by a sperm whale 1,500 nautical miles west of the Galapagos, 40 miles south of the equator.

question: The psychology of survival (are some of us predisposed? Is there a personality type that is more likely to?

In the Heart of the Sea, is a book that takes place on a whaling ship called the Essex at sea, the ship (and most of the crew) is from Nantucket, and launched to go to sea in 1819. There are many turning points in the book including the scene when the ship is flipped over. This is a major turning point because the crew’s attitudes change, and everyone now understands the risks of whaling. Although there are many reasons why this scene can be the Kairos, there is one incident that is more of a turning point than this one. The Kairos of the book takes place after the killer whale attacks the ship causing the Essex to slowly sink. This is the turning point because the mood, and attitudes change. In addition to the moods, and attitudes the entire course of the book changes. The characters need to survive at sea for over 40 days and they also need to do busy work to keep themselves sane. Some of the crew write in journals, and one of the crew members even turns string into twine. Another reason

The Mediterranean Sea is the largest enclosed sea in the world, surrounded by Europe, Africa, and Asia – the most populated region of the globe. It is connected to the Atlantic Ocean by the Strait of Gibraltar which separates Spain from Africa, a distance of 8.9 miles. The sea has an average depth of 4,900 feet, but the deepest point is in the Calypso Deep in the Ionian Deep, having recorded 17,280 feet. It is bordered by 25 coastlines and is split into seven subdivisions of which are the Aegean, Adriatic, Ionian, Tyrrhenian, Ligurian, Balearic, and Alboran seas. It also contains a shallow submarine ridge (Strait of Sicily) between Sicily and Tunisia, dividing the sea into two main sub regions – the Eastern and Western Mediterranean. It has an annual temperature of 19 degrees Celsius, but waters located near the warmer regions (I.E. Africa) can reach up to 26 degrees Celsius in the summer. The Mediterranean is characterized by its deep blue color which derives from its warm temperatures and higher salt production due to mass evaporation. It is known to have hot, dry summers and wet winters except for the Southern regions considering they have desert-like climates.
