We drove down the 405-freeway filled with traffic and angry drivers. The brick walls as we drove soon turned into the beach scenery. As I sat in the passages seat, I noticed the traffic ahead hadn’t moved an inch. Angry and impatient drivers honking and giving one other the middle finger as they attempted to cross lanes. I turned up the profanity filled music a little louder to drown out my hate for California traffic. The drive to Malibu beach was always terrible but beautiful scenery of the beach made the drive worth wild. As we made a left turn in the parking lot, the beach came into view. Everyone fighting over parking spots as the beach was already packed at 12 o’clock in the afternoon. As I stepped out the car the sun beamed on high. The sun was nearly …show more content…
Surfers padding their way out in hopes of catching a big wave. Most of them falling but always getting back up to try again. As I laid on my towel listening to Chance the Rapper, in hopes of getting a nice tan, 2 young boys ran by kicking sand in my direction cause me to yell and dodge getting hit by the football being thrown. I looked over to see my friends standing in front the ocean trying to get the perfect Instagram picture. I stood in front of the beach water debating whether not to get in. The blue greenish water crashes back and forth on the shoreline. The sound of the waves was soothing minus the kids beside me screaming at the top of their lungs, but hey it’s the beach. The cold salty water covered my feet causing me to move back a bit. As the ocean retracted back, it felt as if I was moving with the waves. I closed my eyes as the algae filled air took over my sense of smell. Loud sea gulls called out as they are looking for food, interrupting my thoughts. As I stood there a piece of seaweed wrapped around my foot, causing me to scream bloody murder. People looked over in my direction, as if I was
Gentle sea breeze tickled my face as I watched wisps of white fluff drifted across a crystal clear blue sky. The rhythmic sound of the wave; the screeching of the sea birds was so familiar and hypnotic at the same time. However, my children’s pearls of laughter turned all the other sounds into background
As I sat down on the sand dunes I watched the crashing waves, when I scanned the beach I could see dogs running along going in and out of the waves and people galloping their horses up and down between the
The sounds were amplified, the seals barks echoing through the crisp, morning air and the waves zealously slamming against the rocks. The great magnitude of water sweeping up, and slamming against the algae hooded earth. I felt water droplets
Trips to Lake Tahoe are like an ancient, sacred ritual for my family; much like some families that slice into a turkey at Thanksgiving, my tightly-knit family journeys to Tahoe annually. The beauty and majesty of nature draws us like bees to honey. The fresh water and high altitude makes my thoughts clear, and cleanses my soul. The yearly trip signifies the start of my year, and makes me ponder the changes and concurrencies of my life. Packing for the trip is like second nature for me now, and I memorized our path.

The sun was scorching out heat as it was warming up the city. On the other side the ocean was all admirable dark blue. Waves were shattering surfers. But there was something special in the ocean.
What will I hear while I am at the beach? I will hear a lot of interesting things while I am relaxing on the beach. I like to close my eyes and listen to the waves of the ocean crashing in, I find the ocean waves as a very relaxing sound and it most times puts me to sleep. Not only will I see speed boats and wave runners passing by like I mentioned earlier I will also hear them. I will hear the large engines to the fast speed boats and the soft sound of wave runners speeding by.
I walked up and sat down near the shore of the lake. There was a part where they had put beach sand leading into the lake. I knew there would be this area so I brought a towel with me so I could lay on it. I laid on the towel and took in the environment around me.
I then jump in the freezing cold water, allowing my body to float wherever the water takes me. All of a sudden, a great buildup of water knocked me down to the bottom and washed me out to the shore. Exhausted, I stood up and return to my peaceful spot on the beautiful sandy beach. I hear all people chatting and smelling the barbeque people are cooking. I smell the burnt wood from the bon fire.
Dave Barry’s “The Road Warrior,” is a narrative essay about the rages in American society today. The writer uses a humorous tone to reach the intended audience of the Miami’s people who experienced some sort of rage. Barry states that his thesis is, “if we’re going to avoid unnecessary violence, we all need to ‘keep our cool’”(93). His essay is personal because I experienced the rage “Way Too Many Product Choices Rage,” that was mentioned in the essay. His narrative essay shows that he can insult the readers without them getting angry with him because of his humorous tone.
As the sun breaks, the Bay Area hive awakens; and 265,000 people commute to San Francisco. My day starts at 7:35 a.m in front of the In and Out Burger in Mill Valley. There, a faded, orange CYO bus picks up a group of sleepy SI students. The tall stairs of the old bus greet me every morning as I climb them to begin my daily expedition into the city.
Passing the open fields outside Sioux Falls whilst farmers begin a late night harvest is very mind-cleansing. Peering to the left had nothing but soy and beans, while the right consisted of corn and tall, iron windmills generating power for the next five towns, population 350 and lower, to come. After going up, down, left and right on the unpainted, purely graveled roads, we finally make it to the glowing light at the end of the slightly purpling, star-shining night sky. We have seen it for miles; as we get closer we notice it is our final destination: Sioux Falls. The night has grown cold; the air sure does circulate more in a town that only has a handful of buildings.
Moving towards the washrooms, one could not fail to notice a parking lot so small and crowded with the few people present at the beach. The concession stand has old bathrooms that look like they need renovation sooner than later. Walking in the beach, minds free of the worldly worries and legs free from the enclosure of the shoes, life could never get better than that. Nobody should come and take away the peace of mind that the sea breeze gives to its visitors by being rude to them or failing to perform their duty.
The ocean looked like an enormous pool of wonder. It was exceptionally blue that day with a slight green undertone. The surface looked as though it was covered with millions of diamonds crashing with the waves and kissing the sand. I remember the sand in between my feet, like standing on a coarse cloud that I could just seep into. The water teasing my toes and running back into hiding.
I'm moving gently forward, over the wild and beautiful, unexplored world below me. I'm floating in silence, and breaking it up with the sound of my breath. Above me, there’s nothing but shimmery light, the place where I've come from, and will go back to when I am done here. I'm going deeper past the wrinkled rocks and dark seaweed, toward a deep blueness where a school of silver fish wait. As I swim through the water, bubbles burst from me, wobbling like little jellyfish as they rise.
