    there is something else that can be traced throughout the book: water. The water serves as a leitmotif – that is, it is a recurring image or idea that indicates a connection to some larger-scale idea present in the work as a whole. In Atonement, water always poses some sort of challenge for the characters, but with it comes a sense of ambiguity and doubt over the outcome. More specifically, the water plays off the idea that water is incredibly… well, fluid, and despite being a source of life, it

    This essay will evaluate the Water Brothers documentary “Plastic Ocean” and how well their findings and the information in the clip, contribute to scientific research. While the Water Brothers did manage to cover a few key issues, being constricted to a twenty-two-minute time frame left the Water Brothers with very little room to address other important information. I believe that if more time had been given to the Water Brothers, they would have done a better job of informing the public of what’s
