Campfire

August 17 2015 Waking up and making sure everything is packed for four days of camping in Pentwater. I've never been away from home that long or tent camped. This trip was going to be long,hard but also fun. Loading up the school bus with bikes and bags was a struggle but we shoved everything we could in. The long bus ride was about to come. Someone grabbed out cards and instantly the whole team was playing. From go fish to egyptian ratscrew everyone was yelling in joy or frustration. Soon…

To begin the movie, we see an Indian tribe hunting an animal of some sort. The indians chase this animal through the woods. The animal reaches a trap and then is cut in at least ten different places by a wall of spikes. Indians having very tough stomachs eat the animal right away. A big group of another indian passes, they are aware. The tribe would like to pass, they were covered in marks and scars, as if they were running from something. The indians let them pass because the other tribe…

Update: I just related to Houston from Chicago on 2/6/2016 to the 77087 area. I would hate to bore you stiff by telling you how wonderful I am with a bunch of flattering adjectives attached to my profile. I'm pretty sure you've heard it all a million times before. The fact is, actions speak much louder than words. So, I'll start with what you'll be stuck with at the end of the day instead. Here it is - me, my flaws and all: I can be impulsive and restless. Cry like a girl over emotional…

O Brother, Where Art Thou, loosely based on Homer's "Odyssey," deals with the adventures of Everett McGill and his fellow fugitives Delmar and Pete in 1930s Deep South. It picks up with the trio in a chain gang where Everett is trying to get home to recover the buried loot of a bank heist. Along the story, the characters are faced with a series of odd characters- among them sirens, a cyclops, bank robber George Nelson AKA "Baby Face", a campaigning governor, a KKK mob, and a blind man who warns…

What is her claim? • Tradition, with its rituals, can continue mindlessly, regardless of reality. o For the village people, the lottery is something to win.  The lottery is tradition and is just accepted.  The lottery brings a full corn harvest (i.e., feeds the village). o The reality: winning is death by stoning to cause an unknown change. What does she use to support her decisions? • The village’s common acceptance of, expectations in, and nostalgia for the lottery and the change it brings…

vehemently supported the Socialist Party, and rejoiced at the institution of communism in post-revolution Russia, even writing “With pain and anguish the old order has given birth to the new, and behold… Onward, comrades, all together! Onward to the campfires of Russia! Onward to the coming dawn!” (Loewen, 14) Keller was also a supporter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which was a surprisingly bold act from a wealthy white woman from the south. Loewen…

My first job was one that I had foolishly not considered an 'actual job' until the first day of training, and then another, more prominent realization the first couple days as I started. I applied to work in a position called a Camphand at the summer camp I had been going to for a few years, Camp Chrysalis. Fresh out of my junior year of high school, this was an exciting new opportunity for my peers and I to start working at camp after being a camper in an age appropriate setting. In my head,…

was in first grade, I became a Girl Scout. I had so much fun each summer being able to go to camp with all my friends. During the video, it was mentioned that it was the early Girl Scouts that invented the s'mores. Thinking back, whenever we had a campfire at Girl Scout camp, we would always have s'mores and it just made everyone so happy. When I think…

utilizes is the irony portrayed in his short story, which considerably contributes to the plot of the story. Instead of being afraid of the kidnappers, the boy "seemed to be having the time of his life," talking incessantly during the evening by the campfire as the two men tried to enjoy their meals (O. Henry 2). When Sam asks the boy if he would like to go home, Johnny surprisingly replies that he has no fun at home and wants to stay “camping,” which is very ironic since the boy is enjoying…

blood getting on his teeth. “There you are. I thought I had lost you in your nightmare.” Allen said. I pointed to his nose. He let go of me with one hand and touched his face. “Well at least we know you have a solid punch. Come on and let us get the campfire and you can help me clean myself up.”…
