Wes Pomeroy was the head of security at Woodstock. He originally said no to helping out with the event, but after Stanley Goldstein, director of operations, told him the reason for the event and the goal they were trying to reach, Pomeroy agreed to help out because he believed in what they were trying to accomplish (Makower, 1989, p. 60). Pomeroy was a highway patrolman, World War II veteran, and a chief deputy in California for years. He agreed to help with Woodstock without using violence of any kind because they wanted this to be a peaceful event (Makower, 1989, p.61) Throughout the event, Pomeroy tells about all the drug use, how dirty everything was, sexual freedoms and how happy everyone was.
Walter Plunkett, Costume Designer Walter Plunkett was born in Oakland, California on June 5, 1902, to James and Frances Plunkett. Although he studied law at the University of California, he was drawn to theatre while attending college and moved to New York City in 1923 (imdb.com). His early life could not have indicated he would eventually be an academy award winning costume designer, nor could it have predicted that some of his designs would be iconic in the world of costume and fashion design. Walter Plunkett was a brilliant designer who was recognized in his career with ten academy award nominations (one win),(awardsdatabase.oscars.org), a hall of fame Costumer Designers Guild Award, and a career that spanned decades and included over
Manufactured mineral waters, generally called "pop water", and the pop wellspring were for the most part mainstream in the United States. Starting in 1806, Yale University science educator Benjamin Silliman sold pop waters in New Haven, Connecticut. He utilized a Nooth contraption to create his waters. Agents in Philadelphia and New York City likewise started offering pop water in the mid nineteenth century. In the 1830s, John Matthews of New York City and John Lippincott of Philadelphia started assembling pop wellsprings.
Every time I walk along the beach at Surfers Paradise I cannot help but think about the hugeness of God. I walk along the soft, golden sand, and thank my Maker that I was born but an hour away from this slice of heaven. I feel the cool breeze in my hair, and am reminded of the gentle whisper of God’s voice as we travel the journey of life together. And as I look over the mass of ocean, I wonder why a God so great cares for me? December 27, 2001, found me walking along the beach one perfect Queensland afternoon.
Pop Tab Cans Pop Tab’s have revolutionized the way that we drink and store liquids in aluminum cans. Pop tabs have gone through many changes throughout the last century. The first version ever made was called the push-button and didn’t require any pulling of a tab just a poking of a church key or a long metal stick. After the push-buttons came the pull tabs. The pull tabs were supposedly invented by an engineer who went on a picnic and did not have a church key with him, so Joseph Schlitz Brewing Company decided to make a tab that you pull to reveal the “drinking hole”.

Contrasting images are used between the beginning and end of the poem. At first, the speaker is described as standing on a “wide strip of the Mississippi beach,” (Trethewey l. 2) while her grandmother is standing on a “narrow plot of sand.” It symbolizes the freedom the speaker now compared to the confinement and limited opportunities her grandmother experienced. Natasha Trethewey uses mood, symbolism, and
In “Find Your Beach”, a narrative essay written by Zadie Smith, the writer expresses her belief that is one is adamant enough, one can arrive at their beach - a paradise-like environment that people dream of, but is believed to be very hard to obtain. The idea of a person’s “beach” being hard to discover can be observed through Smith’s personal background, as it is almost mythical for this English writer living in Soho, Manhattan to come by a beach. What I took away from Smith’s text is the idea that when you finally arrive at your beach, “sooner or later you will be sitting on that beach wondering what comes next”. Overall, I interpreted one’s beach being defined as a person’s happiness. It is something we all have the potential to posses
In the NY Times article “Why the Beach Is a Bummer,” Roxane Gay exploits the beach and the ways it never actually lives up to the expectation many have when summer comes around. Gay speaks of her childhood on the beaches of Haiti and how beautiful it was, but how different it is in the United States because there's such a high expectation for the beach since many areas aren’t surrounded by them. “The beach becomes a kind of utopia — the place where all our dreams come true”(Gay), meaning the beach becomes romanticized by so many when in reality there’s just sand in places where it doesn't belong whether in your book or on your body. Gay expresses how soon after arriving at the beach boredom approaches from having nothing to do besides
Towards the shore, waves become more rapid and the depth decreases. The shape of the waves also helps one imagine the sound of the waves hitting the shore while the body begins to relax and meditate. The calm movement in the beach photograph tapestry provides comfort and relaxes the body. Calm movements compared to fast movements are more likely to put someone into meditation especially with a photograph that can easily be imagined in real life.
Matthew Arnold 's poem “Dover Beach” expresses many different thoughts on life and relates such thoughts to the ocean. This poem describes an ocean while trying to get its reader to look beneath the surface of the poem and extract the information that it is talking about something of greater importance to the speaker. These feelings are not directly stated in the poem, it is only through the use of literary devices that such a reference becomes evident. The idea that life can suddenly be filled with agony in the poem “Dover Beach” is illustrated by the use of diction, tone and type of poetry.
The parties and the late nights, are things that make the beach a delight. Refrain:
The mid-day sun beats down on the light beige sand as children jump and play in the warm ocean water, their parents straggling behind them. Groups of tropical fish swim in the ocean of turquoise and cobalt blue water, while an occasional dolphin or two can be seen swimming in the background. White puffy clouds scatter throughout the horizon and gentle warm breezes blow through the palm trees. Rocking in my hammock, I enjoy the scenery from the deck of my beautiful beachfront home. My maid Matilda approaches carrying a platter of fresh fruit and a tall glass of iced water.
