Tommy drove them in his car because Kleto Beach MegaVilla was in fact more than a couple ten miles south of Santa Fe. It was also situated nowhere near a beach, contrary to the title of the resort. But as its name correctly implied, it was indeed an enormous resort. Situated on the top of a vast hill hundreds of acres wide, Kleto Beach overlooked beautiful forests and artificial lakes. It consisted of ten separate mini-villages, each village pieced together with the presupposition that it would house a renter and his or her family, and servants. Originally, it was constructed as a vacation spot for politicians, but gradually, as government power gradually shifted from a democracy to a dictatorship, politicians became less and less common; …show more content…
Yell my name if you see something odd happening. I’ll try to return though. Here, take this. I trust you.” He pushed a T-70 laser pistol into Don’s hands. Saul himself had a heavy 100-20 semi-automatic laser shotgun he had salvaged from the Airs. They pulled into a street with a sign that said “4”—the Boss’s favored mini-village as it overlooked a massive manmade lake and a view of the mountains. The Boss might be a monster, but he still had a great taste in nature. They stopped at a huge two-story mansion set near the edge of a cliff. Tommy, who was still in his underwear, put on some pants as Saul hid his shotgun inside his coat, motioning to Don to do likewise. Finally, they exited the car and strolled up to the door. Nodding at two security officers blockading the door, Tommy showed them his credentials. “They’re with me.” He said, indicating to Saul and Don. Without wasting a beat, he punched in a code opening the door. Inside, it was brightly lit with a few servants bustling about. The servants’ work, along with the night, was winding down. As they made their way through the massive house, servants gave them suspicious glares, setting Saul on alert. When they passed through the dark and empty library, Saul and Don dropped a few paces behind Tommy. Just as they were about to leave the library and enter a hallway, Saul tapped Don’s shoulder lightly. Instantly, Don turned sharply into the library and disappeared without a sound, leaving
The conflict of the Haisla people's spirituality and modern "white washing" of their culture has a major influence on Eden Robinson's novel Monkey Beach. The protagonist Lisa struggles to understand her spirituality and her family often dismisses any hint of spirituality. Lisa finds herself connected to nature but is does not fully understand why, leaving her to contemplate there meaning or existence by herself. Robinson’s use of allusion and imagery illuminate many key themes and implicit meanings throughout the passage.
It was June 10, the day we got out of school and headed to the beach. It was our annual family trip to Myrtle Beach which meant going to Family Kingdom, River City, to the ocean, and playing around. I couldn’t wait it was finally time to go and as soon as we got on the highway my mom stops the car and turns around because she forgot her pillow. That didn’t really bother me because everyone forgets things. We were about two hours into the trip when my brother realizes that he forgot his phone. He complained the whole rest of the way how he wanted to go home and he didn’t want to go all because of his phone. But the best part was soon to come. We stopped at a convenient store to rest and get a snack. I got a bag of Chex Mix and a Blue Raspberry

Carlos and Luis headed off to find him. Luis waited in the parking lot and Carlos was let into
The community that I will be describing is the city of Long Beach. In this city there are many people of age and ethnicity. This city is very diverse in having many people of different cultures and backgrounds. Downtown Long Beach is where people go to eat, have fun and hang out near the Pike. At the Pike is where you’ll find a lot of young people going to the movies or shopping. In this city it is filled with young adults and they are the majority of the community. A lot of the young adults have jobs and there are some that are going to school. Younger adults are more prone to trying new things which sometimes can lead into a health issue. In this city I will be discussing a main health problem that might be relatable to other cities. The health problem that will be discussed is the use of tobacco products in young adults. Some products are cigarettes, e-cigarettes, vapes, chewing tobacco, and hookah. These products are used daily by young adults in this community.
Fort Myers Beach on Estero Island is a popular destination for boating and fishing, while Bonita Beach showcases some of the finest beaches. Fort Myers, nicknamed “City of Palms,” is home to the estates of inventor Thomas Edison and automobile magnate Henry Ford, and offers tours of their exhibits including museum, botanical gardens and research laboratory. Lee Island Coast is a region of natural splendor, with unique and inviting opportunities, ideal for escaping the hustle and bustle of everyday
NorthBeach was originally part of the Barbary Coast. Following the 1906 earthquake the rebuilding of the NorthBeach and its short distance to the bay attracted many Italian immigrants who originally came from the coastal fishing villages on the gulf of Genoa and the Ligurian sea. They found that California gave them a golden opportunity to continue doing what they were doing in Italy.
Monkey Beach is a story of multiple layers, expanding and growing in complex ways through every page. Monkey Beach combines multiple themes such as happiness, and mishap, grief and survival into one story, creating a suspenseful novel that is calm, yet filled with much adventure which impacts each character differently, making them grow and develop in different ways. This novel is written by Eden Robinson, born January 19th, 1968. Robinson has an older brother and younger sister, and lived in the Haisla territory that is close to the Kitamaat village right by the coast of British Columbia and was a the daughter of a mixed parentage. When she was young, her biggest influence was Stephen King as she read his books many times from when she was 10 all the way to 14. Due to Stephen King, she quickly became a “bookworm” and began writing when she started studying at the University of Victoria for creative writing. After graduating, Robinson moved to Vancouver to look for work that would let her write. After working small jobs at night and having a short story published in PRISM International magazine, she decided to go into a master’s program in the University of British Columbia. She later wrote Trapline, which was her first book and was published in 1996, later winning her the Winifred Holtby award. After many months, Robinson began writing Monkey Beach in her apartment, she worked hard to make the novel complex and compelling and published it in 2000 which resulted in her
No one spoke a word to anyone, yet without a doubt those three knew fully what was expected of them. When they finally arrived at Holt’s safehouse, the place in question was a reasonably medium sized house that had two floors; any other details were rendered obscured by the darkness of a humid summer night. Once the car was parked at the curbside, almost blocking off the driveway, Kirchner, Gerber and Sapienti got out of the car wielding a Remnant made Gustloff Volkssturmgewehr with silencers. Together, they climbed over the fence to reach the backyard, from which the three then stealthily snuck to the backdoor of the safehouse. Once there, Fabian Kirchner took the responsibility of unlocking the backdoor using a lock picking set.
I’m a visual person, if an item has an entrancing design I am instantly captivated. While some may feel mesmerized by paraphernalia, places, and other creations, I am entranced simply by water. It has become a sanctuary to me, I can be instantly soothed by the sight, sound, and presence of it anytime or day.
Dover Beach intrigued me as soon as I read the title. I have a great love of beaches, so I feel a connection with the speaker as he or she stands on the cliffs of Dover, looking out at the sea and reflecting on life. Arnold successfully captures the mystical beauty of the ocean as it echoes human existence and the struggles of life. The moods of the speaker throughout the poem change dramatically as do the moods of the sea. The irregular, unordered rhyme is representative of these inharmonious moods and struggles. In this case, the speaker seems to be struggling with the relationship with his or her partner.
I took a spin around the oval parking area, finding it to be as crowded as I had expected with all fifty spots filled. The island portion of Sunset Beach has one of the best and most accessible beaches in North Carolina—it’s one of the few that face south--and it has the best of facilities, too with several showers on the boardwalk and real toilets nearby. Finishing the loop I realized that I had two choices—find a spot to park up the road as far as three or four blocks away or go next door to the fishing pier and pay to park. I chose to pay. I could afford it.
They spot the dim yellow light shining under the door at the end of the long dark room. As they start to walk they notice that the door is way bigger than they had expected. Once they come get close to the large metal door they see that it is the door to a huge safe that is being locked by a huge lock. Carl grabs the handle and pulls as hard as he can on the door and it swings open to reveal a large room with a lone briefcase in the middle.
This photograph was taken on Waikiki Beach in Honolulu, Hawaii in 2015. It was taken during sunset and as the tide had gone out, revealing a wider coastline. The world-famous beach is manmade and since 1951, over 80,000 cubic meters of sand has been imported to replace sand lost through erosion from heavy rainfall, sea swells, wind and tropical storms.
The place where I feel most comfortable is a place where I am calm. A place that is peaceful in its own ways. It is the place to go to get away from all my troubles. It is the one place where I could sit forever, and never get tired of just staring into the deepest blue I have ever seen. It is the place where I can sit and think the best. A place where nothing matters but what is in that little moment. The one place capable of sending my senses into an overload. This place is the ocean.
