This is some what remarkable, because the island in "The Tempest" that Shakespeare talks about is the one I'm going to talk about, too. For about seven years now I have been visiting a little island of the coast of New Bedford, Massachusetts, called Cuttyhunk. I'm sure this isn't what Shakespeare called it, but I know that we have the same opinion. This island isn't like the main land at all, in-fact it's peaceful, mostly quiet, filled with friendly people and preserves the islands beauty with its sanctuaries. One of my favorite places to be is on Tower Hill. You literally get a whole view of the island, and you get to hear the wind blow through the tall grass, the birds chirp and the waves crash. Another favorite place of mine is South End Pond. To get there, you have to take a dirt trail, through the animal sanctuaries, and as soon as you reach the top of the hill you get the most magnificent view of the tower, the keeping house and the ocean. When you finally get to the tower you've literally walked about a mile from the hill, where you saw it once. This huge tower made out of bricks stands before you and the ocean so vast, never ending is right in front of you. When the tide comes I like to float with the fast current, as it takes me into the pond.
