Foss ' "Beach Sand." As he uses Imagery to compare the beach to our physical senses. Uses a calm and subtle tone and mood, to envision the relaxation of the beach. Foss also uses the literary device onomatopoeia, to describe the way the sand feels. While reading "Beach Sand," I can envision falling asleep to the sound of the waves crashing, dispelling stress and bringing me to a blissful state of calmness. Or reading a James Patterson novel. Research shows that reading can reduce stress by 68% (Sussex, Paragraph 1). Relaxation can be enjoyed in a mere six minutes. Imagine how distressed (and happy) you would be after two weeks.

Telling us to let the sand glide through our feet, that we have to take a deep breath, stay calm and take it one step at a time, or we are just going to continue to stress ourselves
