Comparing Sea Around Us And Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea

Furthermore, both texts demonstrate the far reaching ramifications when individuals uncover and reassess the falsehoods and truths of the past. Gray takes us on a literal and metaphorical voyage of discovery in North Coast Town, by showing the impacts on an individual when they contemplate. Gray takes us on a literal and metaphorical voyage of discovery in the poem, by showing the

The reading that I chose for this assignment is from Chapter Six in the required book for class “The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History”. The chapter title is “The Sea Around Us” where the primary concentration of the chapter was the consequences that humans have on the planet with the focus on ocean acidification. This happens from the carbon dioxide we pump into the air and it slowly seeps back down into the oceans and slowly increases the PH level thus causing the ocean to be more acidic. In about one hundred years do you believe that, oysters, mussels, and coral reefs survive?

The next chapter, “Perspective,” tells of the origin of Earle's love for and view on the ocean. From the age of 3, Earle’s love for the ocean blossomed. From her recount of horseshoe crabs crawling on the beach to diving in the waters of the Caribbean, her connection to the ocean and it's marine life has formed her passion and love for the

It gave me a very “20,000 leagues under the sea” feel throughout the entire book.

One example of the imagery being better in the book is the forest. In the book the forest sounds big and beautiful. But, in the movie the forest is quite overgrown and there was not as much wildlife as I expected. Even though the forest wasn’t as beautiful as the book portrayed it, it is still quite an amazing sight.

As an example from “The Drummer Boy” of Shiloh by Ray Bradbury, “In the April night, more than once, blossoms fell from the orchard trees and lit with rustling tops on the drumskin. At Midnight a peach stone left miraculously on a branch through winter flickered by a bird, fell swift and unseen. Struck once like panic, which jerked the boy upright” (Bradbury 318). Already stated from the text is how the literature information is not accurate. Nothing from this is facts from the Civil war. Throughout the text it tells a story from that time and what it could be like, the actual story does not have the basic facts as would a informational text would. On the other hand, from an informational text, “Battle of Shiloh”, “The Battle of Shiloh began at sunrise on April 6, 1862 -- the Sabbath -- as 44,000 Confederate soldiers swooped down on an unsuspecting Union Army encampment near Pittsburgh Landing, a nondescript hog-and-cotton steamboat dock on the Tennessee River.” This is a clear fact with numbers involved. So this tells the reader what was going on and does not have any made up people to fill in the story. It is just simply what had happened. So all in all when comparing two texts one from literature and and informational text they differ in how the reader can learn about the

“Books are better than movies because you design the set the way you want it to look.” This quote comes from Trent Reznor and some may agree and some may disagree. When reading a written version , the reader can visualize characters in their own way with context clues from the book. In movies, the viewer sees the characters the way the director wants to portray them.

In the book it didn't paint a lot of pictures in your mind. The book was better detailed. It had more information and more better at explaining. But the book didn't have the power to paint a picture in your mind

In this chapter ‘Nerds vs. Nurdles’ we discuss the beginnings of the other half of the Project Kaisei and a project with the New Horizon ship called the SEAPLEX voyage. This all started due to one of a new generation of ocean researchers named Miriam Goldstein. The chapter goes into enough detail about her origins and why she decided to become an ocean researcher. The young scientist is even quoted of calling herself an “accomplished barfer” for lack of better words. This is due to her not really being a sea-fairing person as her family origins as she put it as, “…we’re not really a very outdoorsy family,” but she started small in the oceanic research department at the University of California in coastal pollution focusing mainly on knee-deep

In 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne, three men are captured by a captain the forces them on an underwater adventure. Captain Nemo uses his advanced technology and thinking to run away from society. The underwater coal mine and how he used it was very helpful to not have to get in contact with humans. Coal is most thought of as a land resource, and because he can get it underwater he doesn’t have to get it from land. Back in the 1860s the ocean was not a very discovered place, so Nemo could go there without being discovered. Nemo says on page 311, “Thereby making me independant of dry land even for that substance.” Going on land to get coal means you probably would see people and have to interact with others. Another good thing

Jules Verne was a 19th century French writer. Born in February 8th, 1828 in the city of Nantes, France. Jules became interested with the theatre, and that’s when he began writing plays, dramas and operas. Twenty thousand leagues under the sea was first published in French in 1870. In the classic science fiction novel, Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea, Jules Verne uses revenge, man versus nature and liberty to portray the central topic.

He brings attention to this sentence because the immense size of the ocean, coming from all around the earth. However, although this would typically be considered an ugly scene, Williams describes it as not only not ugly, but even beautiful and surreal.

A lesson that I learn from the novel 20000 Leagues Under the Sea is humans can never defy nature. In the story, Captain Nemo tries to live apart from the society. He does not want to be _____________________ (a) by the law that limits his freedom and way of thinking.

David Gallo is an oceanographer, he is a passionate ambassador between the sea and those of us on the dry land. He works in undersea exploration; he was one of the first oceanographers to use robots to map the ocean world without knowing the possible outcome. He was a co-expedition leader during an exploration of the Titanic and the German battleship Bismarck. In his talk, David emphasizes how we sometimes take the ocean for granted. Most the planet is ocean water so the oceans takes about 75% of the planet. David pointed out how when we see the ocean we just noticed how pretty it is but we do not know what lies under there. From the wonderful illustrations, David emphasizes how there is a story in every part of the ocean. David explains that

Style: One thing that Crane has been known for is his use of imagery and similes in his writing. His use of Imagery and detail bring a repeating setting like the ocean, more to life. The reader is able to form a vivid picture in their mind with the Crane’s use of adjectives and
