Finally, after a break home at easter i finally came up with my final superstition for my book ( as i was roughly expecting about a 40page book) While on a couple of trips to the coast (one thing i miss when im at uni) I thought about all the alternative superstitions and the idea that seamen are actually prob the most superstitious people out there, with many a tale about what could and would go wrong i did look deeper into it and using images i took over the easter break was able to peice together one last superstition, (which i dont normally like to work in this way, after reading the superstitions and then visiting the coast after, it just all fell into place.)One of the superstitions i read said it was unlucky for dogs to be near fishing tackle/boats. And when walking through whistable on a day trip to the beach, seeing this lovely dog, willingly sat next to fishing equipment it just screemed the superstition to me.
is fate a superstition?
While thinking about the superstition i thought what better to team with an image which is something thats ment to be bad luck at sea, then an image of what is ment to save ships and boats, so another trip to a coastal town over the holiday allowed to to take an image of a light house. I found it very difficult to think of a textual connection to make between the two, i looked a poems to do with lighthouses and saving mariners, taking inspiration and desided a little peice about the lighthouse saving mariners would the right for the suggestion that the dog brought bad luck to the ship.
