Analysis of The Man and the Sea.



The Man and the Sea. 

I stand and look over the sea, I can smell its salty scent and feel its breeze. I saw many dreams of all the men that were lost at sea. Every wave is just another dream to The widow that sits and weeps on the peak, waiting for her man's ship to come in. So he can kiss her sweet soft cheek. Every day she sits there and waits with a tear in haste, but sometimes it's just a waste. The sea takes a lot of souls. But now the widow is growing old, and her soul can never be sold. She waits for her man to bring back some gold.
