Chasing the Wind Remember that wonderful feeling when you wake up from a bad dream, but soon feel the sudden relief of reality? When I woke up the next morning, it was the exact opposite of that feeling. I recall having a vivid dream that Riley was still with us on the trail. The three of us played out an uncanny reenactment of Without a Paddle as we came across our first bear encounter. In the dream, we all came out unscathed, prancing to feel-good music and hindered by nothing but a good…

Romanticism vs. Realism Romanticism and Realism are entirely different. Romanticism is a movement that dominated literary, visual, and musical arts. It does not contribute to romance, it's main focus is ¨depicting emotional matter in imaginative form¨.

Romanticism and Realism are perfectly opposite each…

I woke up as the bus trundled down the road through the Ozarks of Missouri in the early hours of a winter’s night; it was frigid. I was wearing only jeans and a flight jacket. In the back of the bus, two old guys shared a paper bag between them. Well, being only seventeen they seemed old to me. The smell of booze and rancid men invaded the bus for a long ride from Kansas City to Fort Leonard Wood Missouri, through the Ozarks. The sun was starting to come up, but the temperature was still below…

Carlson in the New Republic (Ganzel). Dust Storms and severe drought destroyed many farms in the Great Plains states in the 1930’s. This disastrous situation in history became known as the Dust Bowl.

very long time. We manage to catch three hares at best; but in return, I think I've gotten a feel for shooting on a moving horse, and it goes without saying that I need more practice. Once we give up on trying to find more. We try to find another campsite since we're very far from our original location, since I do not recognize any familiar landmarks here, and thus we set up once again, and we begin cooking then eating the hares we caught, and feeding Sleipnir with the rations still left in his…
