semester in my response to Ida B. Wells (Addition Post 2), I’ve expanded on this issue in my responses to Mary Loeffelholz’s overview of American Literature (Mar. 13), Gloria Anzaldúa’s “How to Tame a Wild Tongue” (Apr. 8), and Adrienne Rich’s “Diving into the Wreck” (Apr. 15).

Along their travel route, they converse with fellow experts and divers who are interested. Their obsession of deep sea diving takes a toll on their families, and Kurston describes the men’s struggle to cope with these issues that ensue. At first, their research points to a small number of subs that were known to have been patrolling the East Coast during the war, that…

SCUBA diving was the first activity that I chased as a personal passion. It was the first time I made a decision to excel in this field. I was only 12 years old when I went diving for the first time and the only reason I probably did it because my brother couldn't stop bragging that he had done it and I had not. Although everything changed after that first dive, after that first dive I came back up to surface and all I kept thinking about doing is going back down. I wanted to see more of this…

This is seen through the statement, “We circle silently about the wreck we dive into the hold. I am she: I am he” (72-73). While presenting the transformation of the diver, it also connects back to the book of myths alluded to in the first…

Both texts feature self-discovery through the exploration of new and unfamiliar worlds, the unique context and the overcoming of challenges encountered throughout the process of discovery. The exploration of new and unfamiliar worlds results in a memorable experience…

world via the metaphysical voyages that are made alongside the physical journey taking place. Rosemary Dobson’s Young Girl at a Window and Cockcrow explore an individual’s spiritual metamorphosis; this notion is reinforced in Adrienne Rich’s Diving into the Wreck (1973). Due to its confronting nature, the individual’s psyche is clouded with doubt during the provocative process of discovery, in which sacrifices must be made. Our understandings are broadened upon the epiphanies which the persona…
