Campsite

Scouts are carrying on a lively conversation, but I am so exhausted that I nod right off to sleep. No doubt I attracted more than a few looks. When I wake up, the car is crunching on a gravel road. I am guessing that we finally arrived at the campsite. The car grinds to a stop, I put on my headlamp, and my fellow Scouts lead the way onto the campground. It is pitch black outside. Since this is my first camping trip, I am a novice at tent pitching. I am literally left in the dark.…

Ever since we could write, humanity wrote tales and legends of mythical beasts and creatures. From ancient Greek myths to more modern monsters like Bigfoot, we’ve always had this curiosity for the unknown. In the Scottish highlands, in a massive lake called Loch Ness, a creature has been the target of investigations, searches, and hoaxes. This, of course, is the famed Loch Ness monster. Called “Nessie” by some, the beast could be a variation of a classic sea serpent story. Or, as some think, the…

responsibilities, and best of all, no cares. I was free from any ties for a week. I could finally relax. It took quite a few hours to get there, but we made it to the campsite. It may not have been exactly what I had expected, but it was where I was going to have to live for the next week, unless I had strong enough legs to carry me home. The campsite possessed endless, daring paths that were perfect to take with a golf cart that has seen better times. Their mini-golf course was the best that I…

Death valley By: Johnny O’Connell We scour the abandon the hot,muggy trailer thirsty. I feel so dead inside I could feel the sweat on my body. We find a big log to bust open the door. 3 2 1 we breach the door we found some expired chips and 3 warm bottles of water. Jenny is helping Gina bathe while I look for supplies “Hey I found warm waters in the first of 4 trailers,” I yell. I keep searching and I found the best thing ever, gas. I run out yelling “ Girls look I found a full bucket of gas!”…

The Indigenous people whose traditional lands are the area of Canberra and the Australian Capital Territory are The Ngunnawal people (alternatively Ngunnawal tribe). First encountered by European settlers in the 1820s, the Ngunnawal people lived in an area roughly bounded by what are now the towns of Queanbeyan, Boorowa and Goulburn. The meaning of Ngunnawal is we, the people, or us and today’s spelling came from the settlers, the original spelling was Ngoonawal (rhyming with soon). The region…

Bradbury repeats the word bombers and or bomb over and over again which makes one question if it was a purposeful motif. The most drastic change in the view of the bombers is on pages 73 and 74. Montag and his group of professors are leaving the campsite when all of a sudden the city is bombed by bombers overhead. The city is destroyed, fire and destruction everywhere, but that's when Montag and the reader thinks about the specific passage Montag has memorized, which was the Book of Ecclesiastes…

encountered by a boy younger than themselves, by the name of Jimmy Blevins. Immediately Rawlins and Blevins don’t hit it off. Rawlins gave Blevins a hard time often, and Blevins was able to back himself up. When they were all stationed at a makeshift campsite and on the topic…

to actually snow that year. As my siblings and I got older and started families of our own, we began taking weeklong family camping trips at Priest, boating out to one of the islands. Because my family is so big, we would end up taking up 2-3 campsites and would have most of the beachfront to ourselves. We were on an island, away from everything for a whole week! My love for Priest Lake was always there, but it began to grow even more, and I began to really respect more things around me when…

Abstract Gender roles developed from predetermined notions on women. To understand gender roles one has to study their roots. Gender roles change from region to region as they do with time period to time period. Many of this has to do with the legal rights a women had in a certain area as well as the religion she and her husband were members of. The area in which they were located at also had much to do with their treatment because of social norms and because of how the terrain was. In places…
