It also uses hyperbole in order to heighten the tension in this passage. Adjectives were used to manifest the reaction of the children, allowing us to closely relate to them and thus get into the depth of the story. This story made use of short sentences thus increasing the pace of it, it also used commas and hyphens to allow the readers to contemplate over the text, and ponder upon the importance of beach safety.

    Images are a complex communication tool – the intention of the creator and the interpretation of the viewer may not be harmonizing. While Bra Boys seeks to criticise their infamous reputation as an anti-social and law-breaking gang, the construction of the documentary has reinforced that dominant representation of the surf group. Sunny Abberton’s documentary of dissent, Bra Boys (2007) is constructed to critique the dominant representation of the notorious societal group – “Bra Boys” by telling the story from the point of view directly from the underbelly of Maroubra itself. The documentary attempts to utilise viewing conventions of selection of detail, symbolism and audio codes to portray “Bra Boys” as a constructive support framework of surfers but with deeper analysis, there is evidence that those codes effectively does both- reinforces and critiques the dominant representation of the surf gang. This is most evident in the retelling of the brawl between the “Bra Boys” and the police force.…

It is known for its long stretch of beach, over 3 kilometres, with four beaches on this stretch: North Narrabeen, Narrabeen, South Narrabeen and Collaroy. The Narrabeen coastal environment consists of these beaches as well as the lagoon located at the north end of the beach.

    This bus was caravanning with other vehicles and was transporting forty-three teenagers who had spent the week at one of the regions thirty camps serving twenty-three thousand children each summer (Odintz, M., 2010). Although two-thirds of these teenagers were ultimately rescued by helicopter from the cypress tree branches they clung to amidst the rising currents of this raging river, ten of those teenagers lost their life that summer day when an enormous wall of water descended at a low water crossing bridge and pushed the bus one hundred an fifty yards downstream. No one was prepared or saw it coming as this wall of water rolling with “debris, fence posts, snags, limbs and whole trees, tumbled past” (Thompkins, S. 2007, para.9), capturing and destroying most everything in its tumultuous path. In spite of the human chain made by staff and students who fought the river’s powerful current intent on making it to shore, they were of no equal force to its intensity. The somber death toll was horrific and the exhausting retrieval efforts proved to be futile as the body of one of these campers was never recovered. Locals in the area are forced to relive the tragedy periodically, when news reporters, intent on…

    Upon reading “A Drowning”, I thought this story was a very enlightening story opening readers’ eyes to reality. The usual stories that we are exposed to, always end with a happy ending where the protagonist was able to help and save the day. However, although unfortunate, this story depicts the speaker put in a position where he was unable to do anything to save the person from drowning. This comes to show the reality that there are times when you are placed in similar situations where, no matter how much you might want to do something to help, you might be restricted to so. On the other hand, i liked how the author was very descriptive and thorough throughout the story. This made the story very thrilling to read. It had kept me on the edge of my seat, eager to know whether the person drowning survives. I had hoped and was wishing that he does survive. So when I learned that the drowning individual hadn’t come up the third time from the water, I was very disappointed. Contrariwise, what I disliked about the story was the fact that the story turned out to be a sad ending. Although the story doesn’t clearly state whether the drowning individual had died, it does say “Mrs. Abbott came in looking really very sad” implying that something bad had happened.…

    It is summer time, in the middle of June. The smell of the salty air, cool breeze of the gulf coast is enough to make my heart flutter. As I look out into the beautiful clear blue sky, I see it filled with kites of many colors, shapes and sizes. I look off in the distance and come upon a working shrimp boat with its net dragging behind capturing the daily catch, with seagulls flying around waiting for an easy meal. Standing there you can’t help but hear the rolling wave’s crash at the water’s edge.…
