Boat

in the house. No alarms set, no one needed to be at work, nothing. It was not too long until my dad had awoken and woke my brother and me as well. “Wake up, wake up, we need to go enjoy the lake before the storm!” he shouted. I had never been on his boat before due to working every weekend of the summer. This was an adventure I was looking forward to and never knew the impact it would have on me. Nothing can be more rewarding than a relaxing lake day spent with friends and family. I…

mirrors shadows. Then one day she glanced through the mirror at Sir Lancelot in all his fashion, left her loom and her room as the water lilies bloomed. Her mirror cracked and the curse began as she made her way to a boat and wrote who she was on the side of the boat. She lay down in the boat floating towards Camelot at night. As she lay she sang her final song. Everyone came to see her as she lay…

This work is a commentary on society today, and shares ideas with many books we have read this year. Books like Siddhartha show the world’s current obsession with material wealth and material things hen Siddhartha tries life as a merchant. Or Faustus, the character who sold his soul to the devil for promises of infinite amounts of material wealth. Or in As I Lay dying, the character Anse is obsessed with obtaining his new dentures even after all the trouble his family went through. Oscar Wilde…

To start, van Gogh’s depiction of a landscape is different and similar to what I thought a landscape would look like. I imagine a landscape to be sunny and have a pretty sky with bright colors such as reds, oranges, and yellows. Also, I imagine buildings and homes to be in a landscape. To add, green grass and rolling hills would be beautiful in a landscape. Basically, I think of a landscape to make someone feel happy. My thoughts of a landscape are similar to van Gogh’s because he has buildings,…

am standing at Sandy Beach overlooking the lake. From this view, I can see the other side of the lake, a few homes, and in the background I can see the Rocky Mountains. The best background noise, especially at night, is listening to the waves from boats crash on the sand. Being surrounded by Glendo State Park’s climate, scenery, fresh air, and the variety of beaches is relaxing and…

There are multiple theories regarding how the first people came to the Americas. Some incorporate boats, and others migration. These theories include the Beringia Theory, the Maritime Theory, the South Pacific/Atlantic Theory, and the Solutrean Theory. Up until the last few years, the Beringia Theory was widely believed. Now, as more evidence is found, other theories are coming into the light. The Beringia Theory has been the most commonly believed theory by historians. This theory states that…

would go to different islands by boat and just spend time as a family and have picnics. Because the St. Lawrence is my backyard, this was a weekly occurrence. Every island…

a sixteen wheeler or even a whale, so I bet it can hold a 112 pound little girl with a life jacket on. They also had highly trained life guards to jump out there and save one if needed. This activity is also very exciting. We had to ride a banana boat out to the middle of the ocean; so far out you could barely see the people at shore. My aunt almost…

heroes that survived their floods have a different outlook on life now, but the other has the same outlook just in a little different way. In The Epic of Gilgamesh and Genesis, they both have to build a boat before the floods occur. They both took their families on the boat and animals on the boat, except there is a difference between them. Utnapishtim’s flood only lasted six days and six nights but, in contrast, Noah’s flood lasted forty days and forty nights. They each took birds with them…
