The Human Mind Profiles All It Sees

When thinking about getting away to some serene paradise to help forget about work or school obligations most people instantly think of the beach. Whether it be the west or east coast the beach is a universal symbol of peace and serenity, plus a little bit of fun. But this bliss has a whole different meaning to me. This is where I grew up and how I found myself. The west coast of Florida is the first time I felt the sand in my toes and the salt water on my face. These memories inspired me to give back to the ocean and its inhabitants and follow my dreams of becoming a marine biologist.

John Nash was extremely intelligent man but let his work take over a lot of his life. I would describe his attitude as cocky as he believed he was much smarter than others and loved to prove it which is shown in the beginning with the board game between him and Hanson. I figured that he was one that knew he was there for the education and not to party like his fellow classmates were doing. He would stay in his room studying and figuring out the hardest math problems and working them on the windows. Figuring out math problems was what made his day.The clues that were the most alarming were when Nash and Charles are sitting on the roof they are chatting on a university building roof and getting to know each other better. Nash and Charles are

The Power of Place makes me realize how influential my surroundings create my persona; however, I

If you were forced to pick your paradise, where do you think your thoughts would take you? Would you go to the quaint wooden cabin in Michigan that has been in the family for years? Or would you think of your cozy apartment a top a skyscraper in your favorite concrete jungle? Without a second thought, my mind rushes to Pawley’s Island, South Carolina. As locals describe it best, the “elegantly shabby” beachside town 40 minutes from Charleston has been my chosen vacation spot since childhood. Between the hammock shops, crabbing in the creeks and ghost stories, there is always something to entertain you on the island. With only the best memories there, never did I think that there would be something to hold me back from indulging in the lazy

To illustrate my point, there are enough beaches in Rhode Island one could go to a different beach everyday for weeks. The cities and towns are stock full of things to do, ranging from parks, historic sites, and places to shop or swim. Only in the Ocean State can one buy a refreshing cup of Del’s lemonade or go to the Bite Me Bait store where you can get anything from keychains or clothing to fishing gear.

Step back in time to the jazzy, sophisticated summer resorts of the 1920s as you stroll the historic streets and serene beaches of beguiling Watch Hill, Rhode Island. Ideally situated between Boston and New York, Watch Hill is known for its charming Victorian architecture, lavish summer cottages, picturesque harbor and breathtaking ocean vistas. Winding, garden-dotted streets are lined with upscale boutiques, antique shops, outdoor cafes and verdant parks. Once the haunt of the famous and fabulous from Clark Gale to Isadora Duncan, the village of Watch Hill has managed to retain the golden charm of summers past. Each of Watch Hill’s bewitching beaches possesses unique charms. Curving gracefully around a bay dotted with elegant yachts, Napatree

A bustling, balmy, and beautiful city, Cape Coral in Florida is the new destination for those looking to leave the rat race of city life while maintaining a sense of modernity with a bustling night life scene. It is nicknamed as the “Waterfront Wonderland” by locale solely as they can rejoice over 400 miles of navigable waterways and beach front. Its existence on the Gulf Coast, with interwoven roomy canals and brims, makes it blossom with recreation opportunities of all kinds.

On New Year’s Eve, as I surfed the Internet, I found a charter school in Sedona, Arizona that emphasized creativity, community and mastery of basic skills. I had visited Sedona as a teenager and found the area beautiful with its looming red rock landscape, canyons and pine forests, the meandering Oak Creek, a mild climate and friendly people. Sedona had a “soul-nourishing” feel to it; I felt drawn to the area. Even though I felt a positive sense of adventure about Sedona, I wondered if I should stay in my beloved

The story takes place in a small and sunny beach town with many family owned restaurants and shops. Heidi, her stepmom even owns “Clementines”, a small clothes boutique (50). Her dad's house is so close to the beach that she could even“hear the ocean”(22). Sarah Dessen chose this setting because it is a stress free environment that is warm and peaceful.

As one drives up the California coast, they will begin to notice several things. First, the general atmosphere shifts. The further north they travel from Los Angeles palms and golden beaches, the cities begin to lose their positive, sunny vibes. They go from beach villas to industrial apartments to suburban neighborhoods to run down harbor towns. The positive emotional vibrations emitted from such architecture slowly surrenders its grip on its surroundings to a grim, hopeless one. As new, booming cities fade into sleepy and ancient villages only occupied by drunken sailors and lost tourists, the traveler will soon realize they are in a much less pleasant place as where they originated their journey.

Here lies the area where the rising blue sea crashes on to a shore surrounded by huge, wave-worn rocks. Where the sun shines through the skies and radiates the skin of inhabitants who are admiring the beauty of nature. The limestone shoreline fights back by pushing the water back out and creating a enormous splash accompanied by the effect of ocean spray. Some people come here to go snorkeling and explore a whole new world underneath the water, while others come to enjoy the scenic views and are accompanied by loved ones to walk down the vast amount of nature trails. However to me, this is a place where I am allowed to ponder and be away from the noisiness of city life. At Blow Rocks Preserve Beach, I walk along the beach and am instanly relieved

Many people have the notion that beach communities are simply areas for people to relocate to and enjoy their retirement. This however, simply isn’t the case. Coastal cities are major centers for tourism, so they create attraction and provide activities for people of all ages. They cater to everyone and attract the greatest amount of tourists, not simply to those in the later years of life.

I look out at the bridge lights reflecting off the glassy water and then the little waves tumbling over my feet. This is Virginia Beach. I have grown up here: it’s nearly all I know, and I care for it deeply. Despite this, I am not blinded to its numerous defects, or, for that matter, its strengths that do not hinge upon the abounding natural resources the land has to offer.

The public space I took under consideration is Pensacola Beach located along the Florida coastline. In this region, many people who are interested in relaxing can come on vacation and enjoy their time. After researching about the Pensacola Beach, I decided to visit this area during afternoon time and was able to gather information.

The hotel serves as a metaphor for these individuals’ past compared to their present. The hotel seemed full of life and carried much potential. At first glance, it did not seem that way to anyone. As time progressed, the hotel proved its worth. Sociological imagination enables an individual to step outside the box and think from a different perspective.
