Lurky Ocean
The Ocean by: Nathaniel Hawthorne is a well written poem. I chose this particular piece because I find it interesting that it focuses on the fact that something so mystical, and beautiful as the ocean can appear, there's alway misfortune; This lead to the conclusion on why I titled it Lurky Ocean. The Ocean has its pros and cons, most of us have great memories spending hot sunny days laying on the beach, listening to the waves crashing, and taking a dip to cool down. But what most of us don't realize the tragedies that occur within the ocean. Not only for the creatures beneath but what the ocean can create. The ocean shows no sympathy, it may seem untroubled, but it can be very treacherous. Out deep in the ocean above the caves there lies furious waves that declare their victims. “ The Awful spirits of the deep” is what's bringing them down to the ocean floor. No matter what …show more content…
Its come to the conclusion that although the seaman had died, they were at the bottom peacefully at rest, but what occurred at the top wasn't similar. Above the ocean the waves are “fury” and chaotic. In the second stanza it had stated “ calmly the wearied seamen rest, beneath their own blue sea” but the last two lines the blue waves turned into “dark blue waves.” There was rhyme when he repeats “ the earth” Hawthorne uses the figure of speech when he repeats “beneath.” Also accounted repetition when talking about the waves, and ocean, because the poet wanted to identify the importance of their part throughout the poem. Taking everything into account I truly believe this was a symbol to identify that the seamen's lives were connecting internaling with the ocean. With doing so when the men were out in their “own” sea the ocean appears blue, but when they sank down to the bottom lifeless the water become dark
