Behind my old tan house on McClure road is an open opportunity to have as much fun as you want, and as a kid I took advantage of that. I loved going out to just use my senses and explore. I would see how many different animals I could see or hear. I would listen to the birds hum their songs, and hear the chipmunks run aimlessly through the woods, cracking sticks every step of the way. Who knew such little animals could make so much noise! Sometimes I even thought they were bears! I never did see a bear. On multiple occasions I saw deer though! Sometimes I brought some of mom’s freshly baked cookies out in the woods with me and of course my dog would follow. She couldn’t resist the smell! Millie was my partner in crime when it came to exploring. A narrow path ran from one side of my yard, back through the woods, and eventually out the other side. My siblings and I usually road our four-wheeler through the path and it was a tight squeeze sometimes! But my favorite part was when we would run through the woods, racing down the path! I remember feeling the wind in my hair and the dog right on my heals. I would come out at the end with leaves and sticks in my hair, but I wouldn’t have had it any other way. I always felt so fast running in the woods with the dog. Sometimes we didn’t make it all the way to end without staining our fingers with a quick snack of fresh berries. One of my favorite parts of that house was eating the berries off the bushes and going home with stained…

Chapter Five Once I get back to our campsite, papa is gone. Probably gone to gather more wood for fire. Hopefully, he would get back soon, so we could eat the squirrel quickly. To burn time, I look for berries, roots, and plants to add to our future meals. I find a large, starchy root, which smells vaguely like basil. Interesting. I start to head to the campsite, thinking papa should be home by now, shooting a small ground animal on my way,not knowing the name of, much less have seen before.…

“Chapter Ten” starts off at the point that Tree-ear begins his journey. Linda Sue Park, the author, explains how Tree-ear goes one day and one village at a time, on his journey. He has a sufficient amount of food, money, and sleeping equipment. For food, Tree-ear had Ajima’s spectacular rice cakes and a tasty surprise, called gokkam. However, Tree-ear continues on his journey with no problems so far. As Tree-ear travels on the mountain path, the scenery begins to look more familiar. The trees…

Throughout the story, Kavangah tells multiple stories about parents dropping their troubled teens off at hospitals and leaving. Parents are leaving their children of ages, but no infants which is what the law was created for in the first place. Governor Dave Heineman states, “Safe haven laws were not designed to allow families to having difficulty with older youth and teenagers to abandon their child or responsibilities as a parent” (Heineman 1). Parents need another way to cope with their…

Offspring, Nofx and so many others were influenced by them”. Is what Tony Sly (lead singer) from the No Use For A Name band said. Karan (Rockers reflect on the legacy of Kurt Cobain).

Coraline by Neil Gaiman is about a young girl named Coraline Jones discovering a door to her other life, other parents, and other struggles.I believe this book was excellent because the author Neil Gaiman,really went into detail about Coraline as a character. He wrote about her surroundings and the new things she discovers behind the door often describing every step she takes.Coraline Jones does not narrate the story but oddly enough, her thoughts and feelings are the only one’s shared…
