Snapshot of Hawaii's seacoast

My snapshot is of the seacoast in Hawaii. In the picture you see the blue color that is as deep as the sky and as clear as crystal. The sea looks as calm as the puffy white clouds above it and the waves are as gentle as the small fish in the ocean. The ocean looks like it's sparkling because of the sun hitting the surface and the atmosphere is serene.
       As you look deeper into the photo you can see other colors like foam green around the shallow parts. You can see the long green, leafy kelp on the surface of the ocean, the large, sharp looking black stones and wet, cool sand. As you look out to the ocean you can see scuba divers and see them jumping from the towering cliff on the edge of the ocean. As a scuba diver hits the ocean you can visualize the splash and picture the bubbles quickly rising to the surface above the diver.
        From the ocean view you can see the rolling waves crash against the side of the narrow cliff with a small force. As the waves splash against the cliff you can almost feel the mist of the seawater and smell the salty ocean breeze.

A Good Listener

 A situation, in Of Mice and Men, when someone seeks out another person to confide in would be when George confides in Slim to talk about Lennie. George tells Slim the reasons he keeps Lennie around like how nice he is, how George doesn't want to be lonely, and how Lennie wouldn't have anyone else if George left him. I think George felt so relieved to talk about this innstead of holding in his frustrations. He told Slim what happened at Weed with Lennie. Slim wasn't judgmental towards Lennie, he just listened. Slim, in the end of the coversation believes Lennie truly is a good guy but says that "he just isn't bright".
      I think when someone is a good listener they don't interupt the person when their talking. They won't judge the person immediatly either. I think a good listener will let you vent and do most of the talking, give good advice, and keep the conversation between the two of you. When you confide in someone, you should make sure it's a person your sure is loyal and trustworthy.
      I confide in all of my friends sometimes. If there was something serious I needed to tell someone I would tell one of my closest friends only. I haven't really had too many people betray my confidence but when they do it makes it harder to trust any of your friends. You may feel really betrayed and hurt, you might not trust that person again. If someone told other people something I told them in confidence I wouldn't really share anything else with them again. I have my friends confide in me alot. I don't tell anyone else what I hear unless something serious is going on. If something bad was happenning I would tell an adult. My friends trust is a big thing, it means alot that they put so much trust into me to keep what they say a secret. So, I wouldn't want to ruin our friendship, and just by telling one other person I could.
