Growing up on a small family farm, I have learned to fix many items and pieces of equipment. I have learned to repair: cars, tractors, and many other implements. Money was always tight, and repairs were always needed. When I was a teenager, I start learning how to fix different equipment. What would cost thousands to take and have fixed maybe cost me a day of work and a few dollars in parts Over the years, there haven't been many items I haven’t been able to fix. When I was seven years old,…
It was about five below zero as we pulled into the driveway on this crisp breezy night. The farm house was all lit up with the festive colorful lights that are common around Christmas. I had the faintest inclination that there had been some cooking going on in this house today, and that is what gave me the strength to open the car door and feel the instant frosty breeze sweep over my face. I grabbed the hood of my coat and pulled it up over my head to save some of the heat from leaving my…
Good morning. Discoveries help us interpret our world; They can offer insight into the human condition that in turn helps us to interpret concepts like isolation in our world. Isolation seemingly defines the character’s lives in the poems 'The Tuft of Flowers' and ‘Home Burial’ from Robert Frost’s ‘The Collected Poems’ and Sean Penn's film 'Into the Wild'. More importantly, it is through the way they overcome their isolation or lack, thereof, that we discover the importance of human…

There are many different forms of pain. One Saturday just like any other, me, my dad, and my brother hooked up the trailer to the truck. We did this almost every Saturday. Since we borrowed my grandmother's mower to mow our yard, we had to mow her yard too. Our trailer is in pretty bad shape. It gets the job done, but the gate is close to falling off, one of the chains has been ripped off, and the backlights do not work at all. Morning dew was still on the ground, which made my shoes wet.…
teleplay and the television show. Some differences are the TV version had more emotion than the play, tommy did not have glasses in the show but did the play, when everything was going crazy and turning on and off the lawn mower started in the show but in the play there was no lawn mower in the play, when the camera showed the ice cream stand there were 3 kids in the show but only 2 in the play which one of them was tommy, Charlie gets hit with glass in the cheek from a rock bracking the window…
It wasn 't long before the novelty of walking behind a lawn mower, even one powered by gasoline, wore thin. Creativity, manservant of my addiction to aromatic fuels, and his sidekick, Laziness, decided, with all the excess power available in gasoline, that I should ride rather than walk, so I figured out how to build a mower I could ride. Well, actually, I 'd figured out how to, ah, modify my dad 's mower so it would carry me and cut the grass, too. I moved up the food chain of…
begins as a simple butchering but leads towards enlightenment.

The speaker starts off with little to almost zero sympathy but as he witnesses the toads fatal tragedy, the speaker starts to become enlightened and his point of view and attitude start to change. The…
When mowing the grass, it is very easy to miss the toad that might be hiding among the blades of grass. Does it matter if this single toad dies at the blades of the mower? “The Death of the Toad” tells the tale of this final day in the life of this toad. The toad is clipped and eventually dies from the blow but that only creates the questions of what is meaningless and what is meaningful. Does this amphibian’s life matter or does death have the final say? Also, why is the toad in a manmade…
