A day in the swamp

Waking up at 4:30 to go to the swamp Isn’t for everybody,but hearing that Browning A5 go off and watching a ringneck fall out of the sky like a star is a sight that has to be seen.Duck hunting takes a certain breed of man and dog.A handy, yet trusty gun is also a very impotant tool. My alarm clock goes off and daddy opens my door and switches the light on.I can tell that today was going to be a good day.I climb out of my camo bed put on a good pair of socks then some trusty briar pants and my lucky realtree max 5 t-shirt.Walk into the bathroom brush my teeth and my nappy hair.As I ease in the kitchen,half asleep I could see at my seat at the table there was a bacon,egg,and cheese sandwhich with black coffe to wash it down.

    The analysis of the relationship between man and nature stems across all generations of humankind as philosophers and commoners, alike, beg the question of how humans should aspire to deal with their environment. In the poem, "Crossing the Swamp', this kind of vague and complex relationship is put under scrutiny as the speaker experiences "the swamp". In order to develop a proper relationship between the speaker and the swamp, the author uses stark hyperbole, specific figurative language, and consistent tone. In the very beginning of the poem, the author establishes the speaker's perception of the Swamp through the use of hyperbole.…

    Dove and Duck hunting are two of America’s outdoorsman’s greatest pastimes. Dove and Duck hunting have always been thought to go hand in hand.

Although the sports are very much similar, each sport has its own benefits for whatever an outdoor enthusiast may value.…

While college attendance is at an all time high (“College Enrollment and Work Activity of 2016 High School Graduates”), the portion of our population living in the upper class has increased by 50 percent since 1971, and the portion living in the lower class has increased 16 percent in that same time period. Consequently, wealth disparity has made it difficult for the lower classes of Americans to achieve the level of success that the highest class has. In addition, the share of aggregate income held by the upper class has increased from 29 percent to 49 percent.(“The American Middle Class Is Losing Ground”) This means that the richest portion of the population possesses nearly half of the wealth,…
