On April 15, 2005, Richard Louv published his book Lost Child in the Woods, a book about the relationship between people and nature.

Post-war, America had a peace period that focused primarily on making life better for themselves economically and mentally. By the time Louv was growing up, parents of children born after the war ended advocated for closer communities through programs such as Little League baseball and girl scouts, improved education with buying more academic books, and enhanced creativity with…
In my argumentative essay I defend why football is a dangerous sport and should be avoided with young children ages 6-12. My previous essay used data from secondary sources and primary sources, however supporting my stance with only words was a challenge. Without visual and audio elements I felt I had trouble communicating with the reader. My remediation into a prezi uses a combination of videos and images to present the consequences of playing football. To support my claims I use evidence from expert researchers and certified doctors.…

Native people viewed the natural world as directly linked to their well beings, shown through natural occurrences like humans’ mutually dependent exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide with plants. The Native Americans have perpetually upheld wildlife and the environment to the same level as humans – making that belief the ceremonious foundation of their culture, religion, and tradition, especially regarding their use of animals. Hunting has evolved over millions of years, initially being used as means of survival through sustenance and self-protection by ape-like ancestors. It then developed into an optional activity to engage in, thus continuing the tradition of hunting, yet under different pretenses. The United States (prevalently the South)…

Deer and other hunted animals can carry perilous diseases and ticks that may cause nasty and infectious diseases for humans, such as Lyme disease, causing many to feel that hunting is required to protect the general…

I shall use my time.¨ The quote states that you shouldn't live a boring life, you should enjoy life and do crazy things until your last breath.
