descriptive writing about a day at the ocean​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Here's one. Hope it helps.

Explanation:

The waves were indeed gentle today, slowly ebbing towards the shore and nipping at my feet, sending some of its contents in the form of crabs, seashells and seaweed. But I hadn't a single care in the world.

I wiggled my toes, letting them dig further into the sand and create a calming room of sand, cool from the water and warmth from the temporary depth. Today was supposed to be a good day, I wasn't even supposed to be at the beach. Truth is I wasn't a huge fan of water. I drowned when I was sick and never got over the trauma.

But I didn't really have a choice, I remembered as I looked beside me to confirm the presence of Lionel, my long lost brother. He was only two years younger than I was, and he went missing over a year ago. I was only driving past when my eyes were drawn to his lonely figure among the crest of the waves.

So here I was, not even having the courage to utter a single word in fear that he was only a mirage, that he would dissipate as soon as I made a sound.

And even if I did make a sound, what would it be? Would I just ask him where he was? Would I yell? Hug him? Kiss him?

He didn't seem in a position to answer me anyway with his dark, sunken eyes and bony, wispy fingers that clutched the loose sand in a death grip.

Without a single form of warning, he unleashed a deathly scream...

How does a baby learn how to say cuss words but she won't say any other word?lol

Answers

Cuss words are easy for infants to learn as early as a year old. ... “They will pick the words they hear most frequently and the words spoken with the most animation. So if you don't want your kids to use cuss words, which is a nice goal, you would want to stop cussing before they are even a year of age.”

One of America's most famous writers, Henry David Thoreau once said “It 's not what you look at that matters, it 's what you see.” What do you think he meant? Is it about perspective? Imagination?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

He meant that what do you take in from looking at something. So if you are absently watching a tree and don't do anything else, you might miss the fact that the leaves are moving with the wind, but they are held fast by the connection they make with the branch that holds them.

Think carefully about what that actually means. When fall comes, the branch lets go and the leaves float to the ground.

Even if you think there is a temperature mechanism that loosens the hold the branch has on the leaves, Someone or Something put it there so it could happen.

You excuse me if I let my religion show somewhat. I do think it is some sort of miracle that lets something like that happens. And Thoreau wouldn't disagree. Those Transcendental writers (like Thoreau) all saw miracles in the ordinary.

Write about a time when your best friend surprised you. What was the surprise? What was your reaction? Did you enjoy it? Do you think it is good to give surprises sometimes?( Write 100-150 words

Answers

Answer:

The time when my best friend surprised me was some days after my birthday.

He brought a huge cake and completely shocked me, and that was early in the morning.

I was elated, excited, shocked, all forms of happiness and surprise.

Yes, I did really enjoyed it.

I definitely think it is good to sometimes give surprises to others. We may not know what is happening to them, but surprises make people forget their sadness and bring happiness, even if temporary.

Explanation:

On my birthday, my best friend surprised me with a birthday cake. He brought it and came to my home without any notice early in the morning.

The surprise was a success, for I genuinely loved not only the cake but also the gesture. I was utterly shocked that he would even do that, considering it was already some days after my real birthday. But the surprise was a welcome surprise.  

I think it is indeed good to give people surprises, for it makes the other person so happy. It was, at least for me. I never imagined that will happen to me, but it did and I really enjoyed it. And we never know what’s going on with people. So, surprises may bring temporary happiness, but it provides relief from the problems for some time, and that’s still better.

It is the general responsibility of the people to think of future generations and preserve the guarantee of life. How/why?

Answers

Explanation:

Yes, because all the present actions of human beings will directly influence and impact future generations. An example of this responsibility is on the use of scarce environmental resources, such as pollution of the oceans and air, deforestation, the production of waste, etc.

It is essential that the current generation is aware of how the present and future quality of life is directly linked to education, ethics, the awareness of people, governments and industries, so that the world is a positive place for future generations, where it there is war, hunger or pollution, but union, respect and quality of life.

What are some similarities of poems and stories? Make sure you use your knowledge of the characteristics and structures of poetry to support you answer

Answers

Answer:

Poetry is similar to stories because poems actually can tell a story themselves. Poems and stories both often use figurative language, however, it's most often used in poetry. There are many different types of poems but stanzas are used to group together parts of the poem much how like paragraphs group together parts of a story. They both also can vary in length, long or short. A narrative or a ballad (two different types of poems) are most often used to tell a story of some sort.

need for my mother who was never there, the hopelessness of our poverty and degradation, the
bewilderment of being neither child nor woman and yet both at once, the fear unleashed by my father's tears.
And these feelings combined in one great impulse toward destruction.
