Throughout the novel, Phineas creates moments of illusory placidity to conceal the truth about the impending war, by equating games to war. Phineas yearns to avoid the war, and in order to do so he constantly forms games for Gene and the other students, as an escape. Rather than admitting to the illusion of tranquility, Phineas views games as self-accomplishment and pure entertainment, where there was always victors, never losers. In contrast, war always has a loser. During the summer session…

1 o clock to 5 o clock was free time to do lots of different things that the camp provided. I played lazer tag most of the time, but i also did the rock climbing they provided, as well as the black slide they had made down a huge hill. I also did canoeing, gorrilla ball, and a couple other things, I had so much fun. After the 5 hours of fun time was over, we all high-tailed it over to the cafeteria to have dinner. They did this special thing and showed the campers how much food people get when…

Field Trip Critique of Yellow Bluff Fort The historical site that I decided to visit was Yellow Bluff Fort, Historic State Park. I chose to visit this site after I read the content in Module eight. Module Eight spoke about the battle between the Union Confederate navies at St. Johns Bluff which opened up the St. Johns River for use by the Union. Yellow Bluff Fort is actually located near the St. Johns River. The most amazing part about Yellow Bluff Fort is that it was an imperative position…

Blandford forced me to make new friends, manage my time, and gave me the chance to do things that I never would have done before. I went to Blandford when I was in sixth grade, so it was only one year. At Blandford only sixty students were accepted, thirty in each class. There were two teachers there, J.J and Mrs. Mckay and each of…
