Mysteries of the sea

It was long believed that corals need warm, well-lit tropical waters to live but recently some white corals have been discovered in cold deep waters where there is also no light. Some of these temperate corals are 30 feet tall. They seem as abundant as the tropical corals but they have not been explored as much.

Tropical coral reefs are found around the Equator about 30° north and south. They are the best known among the corals. They need clear water, warmth and light and are found near the coast line.

Although the chief architects of the huge reefs are the stony corals, not all corals are hard. Some corals are known as soft corals and these don’t have the rigid outer skeleton we associate with hard corals.

There are different types of coral reefs — the Fringing reef, the Barrier reef and the Atoll. Fringing reefs are found off the shores of islands and coasts. A narrow stretch of water separates the Barrier reef from the shore. Probably the best known Barrier reef is The Great Barrier Reef off the coast of Australia. It is 1,269 miles long and from 10 to 90 miles wide. An Atoll is an isolated ring of coral. It is formed when an underwater volcano erupts and the lava rises above the surface of the sea.

Thousands of plants, fishes and invertebrates such as sponges, sea cucumbers, sea squirts and clams live in the tropical coral reefs. The Great Barrier Reef contains some 3000 species of animals.

The reef provides a home to some animals and a place to hide for others. It also serves as a dining table for predators such as sharks which come to forage on animals congregating in coral reefs.

There are, of course, animals that eat the reef itself. Some fish that are found in the open sea use the reef as a place to gather and breed. A few use the reef as a type of spa!
The Wrasse is a fish that gets its food while cleaning other sea creatures. Wrasses eat the parasites and debris on the bodies of other creatures.

Unfortunately, as a result of changing climate, increased pollution and other factors, the world’s coral reefs are now threatened habitats.

Hector Berlioz

Hector Berlioz was a romantic, in his music and in his life.

According to Theophile Gautier, the essence of the Romantic Movement in France was concentrated in three people: a poet, a painter and a musician. They were Victor Hugo. Eugene Delacroix and Hector Berlioz.Hector Berlioz wrote his music as intensely, as individually, as turbulently and as expansively as he lived.

He was born on December 11, 1803, in France, the son of a doctor. His father wanted him to be a doctor, but Berlioz could not be deflected from his passion for music.

Between 1826 and 1862, he composed several masterpieces, marked by romanticism, mastery of orchestration and originality.

His famous works include: Symphonie Fanastique, inspired by the Irish actress, Henrietta Simpson, with whom he was madly in love, Romeo and Juliet, inspired by a Russian chorus girl, who was his other love, the Requiem, Benvenuto Cellini, the Damnation of Faust and the Trojans.

He died in Paris on March 8, 1869.Heine said of Berlioz: “He is an immense nightingale, a lark as great as an eagle. His music causes me to dream of fabulous empires with fabulous sins.”Richard Wagner (who himself became a great composer) said:

“The reckless boldness and severe precision…took me by storm and impetuously fanned the flames of my personal feeling for music and poetry.”

The Requiem was Berlioz’s own favorite work. He once said: If I were threatened with the burning of all my works except one, it is for the Requiem I would ask for mercy.”

About Shakespeare

Shakespeare is considered to be the world’s best playwright. Through his 37 plays and 154 sonnets he gave English literature, a new face. The themes of his plays are universal and they stand still today as a moral guidance to all sorts of people. There are so many playwrights and sonneteers before and after Shakespeare, helped in the improvement of English literature with their Magnum-opus, but no one can compete Shakespeare. Shakespeare just borrowed the plot for his plays from Greek and Latin literature, and gave his audience in a new form. This we can call as Shakespeare’s specialty.

His plays can be divided into comedies, tragedies, romances, history plays and Roman plays. His comedies are the package of entertainment and tragedies helped in the purgation of souls. In his plays he gave equal importance to women characters. They will be the important cause in the development of the play. He portrayed women both good and evil characters like Ophelia, Desdemona, Miranda, Emilia were innocent, whereas Lady Macbeth and Cleopatra acted greedy and vice, and made the play a tragedy.

“Love is not love which alters when alteration finds”

These lines from his sonnet, is an simple example to show the efficiency, the use of language of Shakespeare. This is not only for his Elizabethan audience but also for people till doom’s day
