Campfire

Most people might say that a scout is rowdy and out of order; there is no doubt they are absolutely right. To spend an entire week with eight of them, that's something. We all met in a parking lot excited, with our bags that contained pretty much anything you would never give to a group of 12 year-old boys. We’d go over what we packed: pocket knife, candy, mallet, slingshot, etc. We load up the cars and split up into two groups one in each car. Along the way we played stupid games such as…

During the 17 years my family has provided this service, my duties have included putting together songbooks, campfire programs, games, crafts, and nametags. We offer both recreational activities and educational sessions. I help come up with suggestions for the topics and our keynote speakers, who are pediatric urologists from around the country. Three years ago…

We made crafts, went to campfires and sang songs. Life at camp was simple. After what felt like forever we crested the hill. It was breathtaking. I looked out over the jagged rocky path we had just labored through, I gazed at the sharp Rocky Mountains in the distance and observed…

After analyzing the humanities through the history of America from pre-history to Reconstruction, it becomes evident that Americans identified themselves as purely unique individuals with unlimited potential; while this idea was constricted to a certain group of people for some time, certain art pieces and literary works expanded the common American identity to a wider population, eventually causing it to lose its race label. The revolutionary Exploration era delved into the unfamiliar and the…

If you want to compliment Leo Wieser, tell him his work makes you gag. "Thank you!" he gushes when I mention my queasy stomach. "That's what makes a good career." Wieser, the special effects supervisor for Wynonna Earp, and I are discussing the full-body autopsy scene in last week's episode, "Two-Faced Jack," and I'm apparently not the only one who had a guttural reaction to the sequence. "On set, nothing is better than if you can make the crew go, "Bleh!" he laughs. "For the second time in my…

fast as he can to leave. The non-diegetic sound of water flowing is relaxing which implies his success in finding his freedom; to escape and return back to Broome. At the end of the day, Willie approaches a group of Aboriginal men who surrounds a campfire under a bridge. The protagonist is then introduced to Uncle Tadpole who is usually portrayed as someone cheerful and optimistic. The very faint background music helps the mood of the scene as calm and relaxing. Similarly, The Sapphires relies…

A few days later Huck encounters a campfire and tries looking for the person living there, only to find out it was Miss Watson 's slave, Jim, is living on the island. They tell each other about their escape stories and are happy to be together. While Huck and Jim live on the island, the river…

was and thus initiated the war on terror. Ever since the Revolutionary War Americans have always had a sense of pride, patriotism, and duty to their country. The attacks on the United States did nothing more than spark this pride of country from a campfire to a blazing inferno. When President Truman signed his famous Truman Doctrine to stop the advance of communism Americans felt a need to be the civilizing force in a world full of evil (Rogers). 70 years later the evil is no longer communism…

In the film ‘Stand By Me’ there are a lot of lessons that people need to learn and understand. I am going to Describe and Explain one important lesson from the film. One important lesson that people should learn is that if someone is born into a disadvantaged family that has a bad reputation you shouldn't assume that they will turn out bad as well. Chris, Gordie and Teddy all teach us this lesson throughout this film and I think it is important for us young people to learn it as well, this…

telling him about the search for Jim, his runaway African American friend. She tries to help Huck, but states that she had sent her husband with a shotgun to go look for him on an island and that he can “slip around through the woods and hunt up his campfire…” (Twain 58). Twain uses Huck’s story to equate Huck and Jim, as they are both runaways, and then he portrays the hypocrisy and inequality when the woman states that she sent her husband to hunt Jim. Hunt Jim with a gun, like an animal.…
