I was born on a small island in the middle of the Atlantic. An island is a place with a lot of sea that kisses the land all the time. Even today, the island is like that: covered in green, flooded with lagoons and waterfalls, cut by towering mountains and unforgettable landscapes. It has always been a place very close to what we all imagine paradise looks like. The winter was sad, but it’s like that everywhere. I played a lot with my friends. We sang, we played with stones and we performed all the known stories in the middle of nature. I remember that there was a very interesting aqueduct near my house. Not that it was too long, it wasn 't. Turns out, you could not see the end from the other side, and I was very intrigued by that. So I made …show more content…
It came wrapped in color and magic, from a faraway America that had ripped me from the arms of my childhood friends who had left the island to emigrate. That year I realized the existence of another world, I forgave Baby Jesus and opened the doors of my life to the old potbellied man dressed in red, who promised more color and entertainment during Christmas on the island. Life on the island had not changed, but I knew a few more things from that moment on. I decided to be friends with Santa Claus. This would ensure that my friends from the island could receive more presents. Who knows if Santa Claus could make the high winds that left the island so tired go …show more content…
- Tell me - I asked. - The world’s biggest problem is lack of time. Think with me: older people complain about the lack of attention from their children, children complain about their parents, wives complain about their husbands, employees complain about their employers. Everyone needs someone else’s time. And no one gives or receives the time they need. We need to find a solution to end this. - On my island, there is always enough time. Our grandparents lived in our house, there was no electricity, but we had time for everything. There were no toys, but we made them up ourselves, parents told stories and spoke with us, we were taught to spin, sew, weave and smile. And you didn 't exist! Or maybe you did, but we never heard of you on the island. - You 're right. I didn 't exist. I was invented after money and technology came along. But I promise I will get around to it. And it 's going to be this year. No more presents bought with money. This has made people see inequalities that do not exist. I have an idea! - Tell me, tell
(Please do not obfuscate this with saying Santa Claus does indeed exist but with saying innocence and hopefulness in a child 's life is amazing and should be in habitude more.) The protagonist name is not

A Christmas Miracle! In his novella “ A Christmas Carol,” Charles Dickens illustrates the transformation of an ill-mannered man as he is visited by three spirits who are affiliated with three different periods of time; the spirits are introduced as the Ghost of Christmas Past, Present and Yet To Come. Upon reaching home, the novella begins, Ebenezer Scrooge is met with the spirit of his late business partner, Jacob Marley, who warns him about the visits of three spirits. On the first night at 1:00 a.m, Scrooge is visited by the Ghost of Christmas Past who takes him to past Christmas events that happen in Scrooge’s life.
Charles Dickens’ novel “A Christmas Carol” shows the main character Scrooge as being haunted by three spirits on Christmas Eve. Dickens presents these supernatural entities with historic appearances, which have a strong reflection on the character and development of Scrooge. This is often overlooked on first read. The first example of this is the appearance of The Ghost of Christmas Past, which is used by Dickens to physicalize the mentality of Scrooge. The spirit is described as “like a child” and represents the child that is still inside him; It is his childhood that caused him to hate the festive season and he still holds the grudge, that being “a lonely boy” during Christmas set.
And this island is depicted to be beautiful: “The shore was fledged with palm trees. These stood or leaned or reclined against the light and their green feathers were a hundred feet up in the air” (Golding 5). These depictions of the island parallel the perfect paradise of the Garden of Eden in the Bible. Genesis 2:8-10 says, “The Lord God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man he had formed. The Lord God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground—trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food...
As I continued my journey, I reached a bridge. The bridge was terrible. Along the sides there was trash and rubbish. Towards the middle of the bridge, I experienced one of the most touching moments in my life, one of those happy ones where you don’t know if you should shed a tear from happiness or out of despair. There was this little child playing the accordion and another playing a guitar.
In the South Atlantic Ocean, Tristan da Cunha is the most remote archipelago on Earth. In fact, it’s so isolated that one of its island is literally called “Inaccessible Island.” Over 1 000 miles away from any signs of human life, it’s the place to go if you want to become isolated from society, or just people in general. That is, if the island didn’t have a town on it.

In Small Island, Hortense is ridiculed in London by the host society for her aspirations despite being a Black woman. Hortense trained as a teacher in Jamaica and ‘was the talk of the college for several weeks.’ Hortense’s privileged upbringing is a reflection of her high hopes for England and the educational advantages she feels she will be entitled to in Britain. Although, Hortense is well-respected feelings of superiority often interject Hortense’s outlook on the opportunities available to her in Britain. Thus, she is alienated in the British educational system due to institutionalised racism and nowhere will hire her because she is black.
The first time I went to Hunting Island in South Carolina I knew that this was just the kind of vactaion I would always adore. The sun was warm on my face, and bright enough to make me squint. I would have been fine without sunglasses, but the tan-white sand reflected the brilliance into my eyes, so I put them on. It glared on the water, creating sparkling pathways of diamonds. The sky and the ocean were so blue it was hard to tell where the sea ended and the heavens began.
The story of A Christmas Carol commences on Christmas Eve 1843 with Scrooge at his mazuma-lending business. He vilipends Christmas as a "humbug" and subjects his clerk, Bob Cratchit, to grueling hours and low pay. He shows his cold-heartedness toward others by relucting to make a monetary donation for the good of the poor, claiming they are better off dead, thereby "decrementing the surplus population. " While he is preparing to go to bed, he is visited by the ghost of his business partner, Jacob Marley, who had died seven years earlier (1836) on Christmas Eve. Like Scrooge, Marley had spent his life hoarding his wealth and exploiting the poor, and, as a result, is damned to ambulate the Earth for perpetuity bound in the chains of his own avarice.

After landing in the island of Oahu, the first impression we had was that the island looked like paradise. Perhaps even the paradise where Adam and Eve lived, after the world was created. The green environment was very exquisite. Coconut trees and palm trees adorned the city of Honolulu. It was beautiful to see how the green grass moved side to side as the wind blew.
‘Will I survive?’ , ‘Am I the same person?’ , ‘Will there be some person alive who is the same person as me?’ (Parfit, 1971, p.9) these are all questions that must be answered in order to determine ones survival or future responsible actions. Parfit, however, argues that these beliefs are false or mistaken as such.
