The Rough Sea The small whitecaps lapped against the starboard side and then retreated. It had been rough since the start and would be until they reached the breakwater in the harbor. Bob, finishing pulling on the ropes to raise the masts, turned towards the wheel and slowly turned around the rocks. He moved to the back of the boat and sat on the place where the lifejackets were kept. Near the masts Frank rocked up and down and up with the waves. It was a feeling like no other to him; the fact that the gentle movements could turn rough at any time gave him so much pleasure from the start of the ride to the finish. He loved to sail out as far as he could go before he got tired from the rocking motion and had to stop going farther. He loved trying to venture farther and farther out each time before he had to turn back; his favorite part was the rough sea where the waves were rougher and rougher as he kept going. A sudden gust made him think about turning back, but he knew that they had gone too far to turn back, and he knew he had to keep going until the waves had reached their peaks. Then they passed a part of the water where the waves suddenly stopped and quickly gave way to a very calm feeling inside of him so that he could relax and recollect the ride so farº. "That was a real surprise, wasn't it, Rob?" Frank said. "It got me, too. I wasn't ready for it, and it jumped me." "Yep. Almost fell over when we hit it," Bob called back to his friend, now near the bow of the boat. "How's the water look over there?" "Pretty good, but it looks like there're some rough caps ahead." They braced themselves as they passed over the rough caps, slowly moving around the biggest ones so that the craft wouldn't capsize. Bob kept a strong hold on the wheel and made sure that they would stand the waves. On the horizon they could see the buildings of the town. The sky had started to get dark. Both of them hoped it would not start to rain until they were in the harbor. They could see the light starting to come from the breakwater lighthouse. "Great day for sailing," Bob said to Frank.
“I had been born into a raging ocean where I swam relentlessly, flailing my arms in hope of rescue, of reaching a shoreline I never sighted. Never solid ground beneath me, never a resting place. I had lived with only the desperate hope to stay afloat; that and nothing more. But when at last I wrote my first words in the page, I felt an island rising beneath my feet like the back of a whale”.
They watched together as the shore increased its monstrous growing, they became use to it all though. They became used to themselves balancing the boat, preventing them from going

The film begins with a paved empty lot. However, as the camera pans, a sea of people behind barriers can be seen. The noises, the amount of people who are struggling to stand makes the scenario seems like the beginning of a riot. Yet, they are all merely trying to get tickets to get back home. Among those migrant workers, there are two characters, a husband and a wife named Zhang Changhua and Chen Suqin respectively. They left their little children in Huilong for the grandparents to take care and moved to Guangzhou city. When they left, their first born daughter was only a child. As the parents later share with the director, they were left with “no choice” but to leave their children.
"The water of the Gulf stretched out before her, gleaming with the million lights of the sun. The voice of the sea is seductive, never ceasing, whispering, clamoring, murmuring, inviting the soul to wander in the abysses of solitude. All along the white beach, up and down, there was no living thing in sight. A bird with a broken wing was beating the air above, reeling, fluttering, circling disabled down, down to the water." Chapter XXXIX
The digestive process begins in the mouth, known as the oral cavity, where food enters. Chewing breaks the food into pieces that are more easily swallowed, while saliva mixes with food to dissolve food molecules. After that the tongue pushes food toward esophagus. The esophagus is a muscular tube extending from the pharynx to the stomach. By means of a series of contractions, called peristalsis, the esophagus delivers food to the stomach. The stomach secretes acid by tiny glands. At the same time that protein is being digested with the enzyme pepsin to break down protein into smaller molecules. Beside these muscles of the stomach contracts rhythmically to squeeze food. All the directions the food becomes thick liquid like milk shake. Then the food arrives in the small intestine from the stomach through the opening of the pyloric sphincter. The pyloric sphincter muscle is the furthest part of the stomach that connects to the small intestine. The food fully digest and absorp nutrients in small intestine with the aid of liver, gall bladder, pancreas. So the digestive system is very necessary for
There are several symbols in the story that help to emphasize that point. One powerful one is the boat. It is small and alone on the ocean, with only the occasional patch of seaweed or a seagull or two to keep it company. The waves themselves are the ups and downs of life. At any moment, a ‘wave’ can come and swamp you, leaving you stranded without a clue what to do, and more just keep coming. Just as in life, “…after successfully surmounting one wave you discover that there is another behind it just as important and just as nervously anxious to do something effective in the way of swamping boats.” Line 9.
“We all come from the sea, but we are not all of the sea. Those of us who are, we children of the tides, must return to it again and again, until the day we don’t come back leaving only that which was touched along the way.” This quote from the movie Chasing Mavericks perfectly captures the undying passion to return to the sea exhibited by the seafarers of the Anglo-Saxon time. In the lyrical poem The Seafarer the storyteller displays his shifting mood toward the sea and his life as a seafarer through diction, imagery, and other literary elements.
The process of digestion begins with the grass. To survive a horse needs grass, and to grow grass need fertilization, which are provided by the waste products of the horse’s digestive tract. It is a continuous cycle, and, if one did not have the other to help it grow it would not prosper as well. So now the cycle begins with the picking up of food.
Digestion is the process that the food brake down into smaller components in order to be absorbed easier from an organism. During the process of digestion food passes several stages. The process of digestion include: the brake down of food in smaller components, the absorption of nutrients that food contains from the organism and on the final stage the conversion of food into feces and urine in order to be expelled from the organism. There are two different types of digestion systems in mammals. The monogastric digestive system (mono=one, gastric=stomach) and the polygastric digestive system (poly=many, gastric=stomach). Pigs and humans are examples of monogastric organism.
pH of stomach- for a Carnivore such as the lion or an omnivore the pH level in the stomach is less than or equal to 1 with food in the stomach.
Hemingway’s use of symbols and the metaphors beyond the symbols is phenomenal. Metaphors are an implied analogy that has an ideal that is being expressed and it also has an image by which that idea is conveyed. Establishing the similarities between the following dissimilarities is what helps to identify the metaphors behind the symbols in Hemingway’s writings. He uses things as symbols to help express the old man’s deep feelings in his journey through life.
There’s a lot more to the Red Sea than familiar biblical accounts. It has a unique topography with incredible biodiversity and is home to many endangered species. The Red Sea, located at 22.0000° N, 38.0000° E, is a marginal sea of the Indian Ocean, and lies between Africa and Asia. It’s divided into three zones: the Red Sea proper, the Gulf of Aqaba and the Gulf of Suez, the latter two of which are located in the north. The Red Sea proper is bordered by six countries: the Western shore border is Egypt, Sudan, Eritrea, and Djibouti. On the Eastern shore is Saudi Arabia and Yemen. (Kalmar n.p., “Red Sea” 101)
Carnivore’s stomachs discharges enzymes 10 times the amount of hydrochloric acid than a herbivore or a human. The pH of a carnivore stomach is less than or equal to one. The secretion of hydrochloric acid breaks down food into liquid chyme.
"People either love it, or they hate it," Fred proclaimed again, for the umpteenth time. His reddish face almost glowed against the gray sky. The combination of giddy grin, round cheeks, and fine, yellow, tousled hair yielded a face far too boyish for a man in his mid-fifties. But the always-present twinkle in Fred's eye was ever so slightly diminished today, and I knew why: he feared that his intuition might be mistaken and that I might not, after all, take to today's activity. His concern was compounded by weather; it was far from ideal for this, my first sail. Why was it so important to him that I like sailing anyway?
