Waitomo Adventure’s Survival Course What’s being proposed? I am proposing an idea called ‘Survival of the wilder worms’ held at Waitomo adventure’s ltd as I know they have a lot of bush land for this to be held there. I would like to propose to the owner of Waitomo Adventures this as it would benefit their company by having an extra activity for groups to take part in. What you will learn is how to build a natural shelter, light lasting fires, build a search and rescue fire, tread water and learn how to survive underground in a cave, collect water and learn how to purify it, how to use a compass, find your way home in the wilderness and how to tie knots. Waitomo Adventures are an adventure tourism facility providing…

Roquentin’s feelings of “adventure” and Anny’s notion of “perfect moments” tie together throughout Nausea. Roquentin spends most of his time alone, self-analyzing, but it is through his adventure that he discovers what he has been missing. Unlike Roquentin, Anny had been chasing these “perfect moments” her whole life and by the end of the book, she feels as if she has run out of them. Anny and Roquentin’s lives seem to almost run parallel to each other, but going the opposite directions; Anny…

knowledgeable about the state, culture, and perspective of the common American citizen.” It is very unusual for childish stories to represent culture and mood of the crowd (and writer specifically) in certain time and place? Only the great writer is capable of doing this, and I believe Samuel Langhorne Clemens (also known as Mark Twain) is such kind of writer. By comparing his two famous works: “The Adventure of Thomas Sawyer” and “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” and especially by comparing…

Black Lives Matter. In recent months these three words have become somewhat of a call to action. The phrase, on the surface, seems painstakingly obvious but recent controversies surrounding race have made these words appear debatable. In February of 2011, a publisher’s decision to replace the N-word with the word “slave” sparked heated deliberation on whether Mark Twain’s beloved novel belongs in classroom curriculum. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn should be taught not only to contrast…

The issue of race in America has come back and it…

Racism is not pretty and should not be sugar coated, but rather exposed as what it is as it is. Mark Twain’s novel, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, is set in the time of slavery and uses various demeaning terms towards its colored characters and illustrates the attitude many had towards those of color. Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is a great novel that should be taught to both high schools and colleges because although the use of words are degrading it is necessary to demonstrate the sense of…
