It was the battle against the sea people. They were blue-green and scaly with webbed fingers and gleaming eyes. The men in the sea wanted the Geats’ gold. They wanted to steal all that the Geats had. It started with the sinking of one of the Geats’ ships. The village of the sea people rained with the dead bodies of men and their stolen treasures. Beowulf would not stand for this, it was the first disturbance in his five years of being king. He prepared for battle, but this one was different.

Russ Kramer’s painting Far From Home of a small sailboat all alone on the open water can be seen in many different ways, some better than others. In Dorothy Allison’s essay she talks about people hiding their “secret selves” when they look at paintings and how each person has a certain “version of reality” that makes their “secret selves” (595). I agree with Dorothy Allison that everyone sees things differently based on their own personal “version of reality” that is determined by their past experiences
The Finest Hours by Michael J. Tougias and Casey Sherman is the true story of the brave men who risked their own lives to save others. The journey across the sea consisted of many situations that they had to face. Not many people would risk their own lives to save someone else’s. The book describes the situations in a great deal, and any reader will enjoy reading the book. I personally think that the theme of the book is hope. This is because throughout the whole story the survivors never gave
Specifically, more research on the sea turtle example given in my paper. By including additional research about this topic readers will emotionally connect to my topic.

A constant and pertinent literary metaphor used throughout Beowulf, translated by Charles W Kennedy, is that of the sea. The sea in Beowulf is a single object that not only acts as a place for entertaining battles, but also serves as a plot device that reveals the poem’s contrasting views on religion and death. It also gives validity to Beowulf’s position of power, playing a vital role in his character development, as well as the development of the plot. It is vital for Beowulf, as the poem’s main
is a small painting with sizes 55.3 x 46 cm, but it contains explosive and bright colors. Matisse has portrayed the scene in an inviting and light-filled way and with a large variety of tones and colors used to paint the boats floating on the calm sea and the sky during the sunset.
