  • What Is The Theme Of The Water Was Dark By Tim Winton

    899 Words  | 4 Pages

    ‘The water was dark’ concludes a young girl how’s love for swimming helps her escape her incapable, depressive mother. “Maybe that’s why I started swimming, she thought, to stop her from drowning me” is the thought process the young girl has. The meaning behind this is that instead of drowning by her mothers comments and habits, she found another world through swimming to have somewhere to go when she found herself slipping away. When she realises that “she didn’t love it (swimming) the way the others did, she knew she couldn’t be without it,” we figure that the reason she couldn’t be without it is because of how she uses swimming as an escape goat from life. She loves swimming for a different reason for others; others do swimming because they love the sport and to stay fit, she swims for the way it makes you feel and the fact that when you swim, you only think about your style, breathing and technique, you don’t have room to think of anything

  • The Swimming Pool Library Analysis

    I was likewise inquisitive to see Soho in more fine grained detail since I as of late read the book, The Swimming Pool Library by Alan Hollinghurst. It's an anecdotal story of a youthful gay man's life living in London before the AIDS emergency. I really distinguished a ton with the story—in addition to there were some truly provocative scenes (sexual fiction is quite cool, who knew?!). Be that as it may, what was quickly obvious from the novel were the areas and spots said—a hefty portion of them broadly in London Soho and a few, even ones I perceived. What's more, as I've composed some time recently, flying out to spots found in popular culture dependably makes for more significant treks.

  • Descriptive Essay: Description Of The Lake

    766 Words  | 4 Pages

    Smooth, oval rocks lined the bank of the secretive lake. Discarded and neglected; overlaid with spongy moss and choked by fallen, decaying leaves from the unclothed and withering trees above. As the lake swelled around the ashen boulders, icy, black water lifelessly lapped against the long, thin beams of wood holding up a rickety pier. The structure was covered in splinters and ragged, iron nails, and as it reached out into the centre of the sombre lake, it became more and more distant. Half-cut beams lined the sides of the pier, as nettle patches hissed from the shore when the water drew too near.

    A Drop of Thought Another paradox in my life; nothing uncommon: Why is it that every time I am told to go to that place I don’t want to, but when I get there, I simply crave to stay as long as possible or maybe forever? Why does the whole idea of taking a long shower sound so alluring and enveloping to me? The process of showering is as complex as all the neurons in my brain. All of the movements have a meaning and are a separate feeling for the mind and body. Starting from the collision of the feet with the cold ground, through the delicate touch of the warm water drops, to the last swipe of the towel on the skin, it is an adventurous ride through the darkest places of the mind’s palace.
