Oak Tree Road is a small part of Edison Township dubbed as “Little India”, an ethnic hub for immigrants of South Asian descent. Although my family has frequented the place…

brother, Griffin, and myself. Retrieving and splitting wood is a long, tiring, and cold process. First, as with most things we must start at the source, the tree. We have to select a tall oak tree from the woods on my grandparents farm and cut it down. Cutting the tree down is one of the most dangerous parts of splitting wood, because if I fall the tree the wrong way it could land on the tractor, trailer, or me. Since I am older at first I was the one responsible for wielding the chainsaw that…

“I was born,” Miss Gilly said, reaching for a tin of snuff. She took a pinch between her forefinger and thumb and placed it between her bottom lip and gums. She had no teeth that I could see. “I know that probably sounds kind a silly to you,” she said. “But I remember hearing that at the beginning of the story Melanie Wilkes was reading aloud on that picture show, Gone with the Wind. I felt that I was born was as good a beginning as any to tell the story of my life, especially when the story…

Mystery, treasure, and death are some words used to describe Oak Island, a 140 acre island off the south shore of Nova Scotia. What makes this island so mysterious you ask? Well what about its artificial man-made beach, or its triangle-shaped forest, or even better, Nolan’s cross which is a natural formation of boulders forming a cross. But the biggest mystery of Oak Island is the infamous “Money Pit”. Past Excavations It was said that in 1795 a teenager saw strange lights coming from an…

Her soul has drifted through so many experiences as a gypsy, young boy, and now a woman in the Victorian age. She still has her old poem, “The Oak Tree.” which has accompanied her throughout her journeys of non-conformity. She has had so many different experiences, yet she realizes she has still remained the same in nature. “The Oak Tree.” has been that one poem that signified her nature and been a line through which we can track her nature throughout her life, despite dramatic changes of…

scorching sun busting out from behind the immense pale clouds. The rays of light pointing to the top of the lush hillside behind my house. The main top of the hillside is covered in tall oak trees that are lined with paradise green leaves. Branches stretch out like long, thin arms. In the far background, the ancient oak trees split apart and provide a small opening. The opening covered with old, dry grass is home to a small log cabin. That small, old log cabin is the place I hike to every summer…
