Boulder

my back I stood at the base of South. I dwarfed beneath her, and took my first step onto her distinguished trail. As the hiking started only peoples and sand lay across the path. Then gradually pebbles turned to rocks, and rocks to large, black, boulders. Each step felt as if I was on a never ending staircase. I looked down the mountain and it appeared as if I had made no progress. Looking up it seemed the end wouldn't come anytime soon. The best place to focus was my feet. One step, and then…

Cynthia Andrzejczyk, author of “Civil Rights vs. the Abercrombie and Fitch ‘Look’” and “The Limits of Free Speech in Academia,” dove into the world of free speech and civil rights. Eleven years ago, Ward Churchill found himself fighting for his First Amendment rights when light was shed on an article he wrote concerning the terrorism attack by Al-Qaeda that occurred on September 11, 2001 in New York (Andrzejczyk, “The Limits of Free Speech in Academia” 111). Churchill had accepted a symposium in…

Joyful Lucidity Towards the Absurd Is a life full of suffering still worth living? Louis C.K. and Albert Camus argue that this is the question facing all of humanity. “The whole world is just made of people who didn't kill themselves today,” Louis C.K. points out. In Louis C.K.'s comedy routine, Louis C.K. 2017, he ridicules the many painful things in life in order to argue that life is characterized by meaningless hardship. Albert Camus similarly views the human experience as such, and in…

influences for not only any species of plants, animals, and humankinds, but also overall biodiversity. Rainforest regions the weather would be hotter, and near North and South Pole regions would conversely be colder. Compare to the situation in Boulder, even if the season began to be spring, there were lots of snow falling in this region intensely. I could apply sociological idea as one impact we could easily know from climate change is “animal species population regression”. The population of…

“Beezlebub” is a Hebrew name for the devil and translated, it literally means “lord of the flies”. Imagine what a novel, called, The Lord of the Flies is about, particularly one written in the early Cold War Era. At that time, anxiety about nuclear holocaust and the destructive competitiveness between the Communist East and Democratic West were everybody’s reality. William Golding not only imagined the potential of such a novel, but in 1954 he wrote it, calling it, The Lord of the Flies.…

A metaphor is a type of figurative speech that describes something using a non-literal word or phrase. Therefore, an extended metaphor describes something non-literally using several lines and sometimes even the whole text. Robert Frost uses such literary devices in his poems. Mending Wall by Robert Frost is about two neighbors that work together to repair the wall that separates their properties from each other. The Cow in Apple Time also by Robert Frost is about an obstinate cow that breaks…

We see a similar technique in "The Sixteen Luohans" with the layering of the boulders in the background, the angling of the tree and the man sitting under it also gives a three-dimensional effect. The colors used in "Prophet Muhammad Preaching" are much more vibrant than those used in "The Sixteen Luohans", with the rich blues, reds…

I grab my tackle. My Lews Tournament MG on a Denali Lithium 7’2” Medium-Heavy rod is the perfect froggin combo and i'm ready to catch a trophy. I get about 10 good cast when all the sudden I hear what sounds like a boulder drop in the water but the fisher in me knows it isn’t a boulder it is a HUGE fish. I clumsily walk over rocks and through brush to try to get into range of this monster when suddenly my left foot gets wedged in between to rocks, my crocs didn't have…

brothers for help. Odysseus also gets Prometheus drunk so that he’ll fall asleep. While he’s sleeping, Odysseus and his men stab him in the eye and wait for him to open the boulder covering the exit so that they can leave (9:428, 464-465). This was a very astute plan so that he could avoid being stuck in the cave unable to move the boulder.…
