    My observing experience at both the grove and Dale’s Ridge were similar in many ways. The fact I had read Haskell’s book didn’t make me notice anything new at Dale’s Ridge, I had focused in on the small irrelevant seeming animals and plants at both observation sites. The sites themselves were also very similar, due to the fact they were both landscapes influenced by human choices and land management strategies. The grove used to be treated like every other lawn on campus, mowed over the summer and leaf clearing during autumn. These activities were degrading the nutrients in the soil and leaving the roots of very old trees exposed.…

These challenges, in addition to the lessons, have brought upon stress, anxiety, and even depression into my life. They have made me question myself to the point of insanity, avoid meeting and accepting new people into my life, and even fail to uphold the bonds I had previously made with both relatives and peers. However, I cannot be defined and bound to the “single story” of my anxiety.

    "A Good Man Down" is an article in which Lee Jenkins uses countless writing elements including word choice, tone, and pathos to explain how the small town of Parkersburg overcame two large tragedies in such a short amount of time. Jenkin begins the article using tone within word choice, incorporating sympathy to his readers by creating a vivid representation of the countless hours of upkeep for a "sacred acre" high school football field, that Thomas, a high school football coach did in the heart of Parkersburg. Thomas kept the field looking its best by "yanking the overgrown weeds, killing the yellow dandelions, fertilizing the soil, and mowing the lawn" (Jenkins 1). The words yanking, overgrown, and yellow, in the previous sentence are examples of word choice that the author wrote describing significant descriptions helping readers envision the football field. Reading this paragraph makes the audience paint a picture in their minds of their football field, along with the coaching staff spending numerous hours preparing the field by watering and weeding the field, and painting the white lines before the big game on Friday night.…
