Das Boot

For many individuals there is a period when we must reconcile our past actions with our present reality. Though this can be accomplished through therapy, the challenge increases exponentially when an entire country is forced to confront its history. A notable example of this challenge is Germany after the events of World War II and the Holocaust. For German society, the current prevailing attitude is that a nation can only truly reckon with the past if they understand it. Das Boot is the perfect cultural representation of the idea that the only way Germany will be able to look to the future is through acknowledgement and realistic portrayal of the past. The modern confrontation with Germany’s Nazi past, like many German concepts, can be boiled…

Comprised of rubber material, they completely cover the legs and move to the top of the fisherman’s thighs. It actually protects the fisherman from the waters and permits him to wade through in the hope of catching some big fishes. The boots also keep the legs and feet warm in the winter and autumn. In fact, many environmentalists also wear the waders to test in the lakes or swamps. Hip or chest waders are worn while fishing on the streams and rivers. If the water is slow or low moving, it is…

Others never use a motor boat. Since standing up and casting is necessary, some will tell you that your best option is to go for a motor-less rowboat. While they are good to paddle across to places where fish are still undetected, keep in mind that a small boat cannot withstand winds quietly, as choppy noises in the water will also spook your fish. So, use a boat for freshwater fishing on inland lakes and rivers only on a calm day. Of course, in case you are traveling far to do your fishing,…

the mountains, hiking boots should have great ankle and foot support. The soles of the boots should have a lug pattern that gives the hiker better stability and traction.

inhaled the crisp autumn air, conceding it to insult my nostrils, and to add a pink flare to my skin. It was finally getting colder, which I preferred over the summer heat. Walking to my car, I took notice of the freshly fallen leaves crunching beneath my boots, adding resonance to the otherwise silent night. Sauntering off to my car I somewhat dreaded the rest of my night. I was tired, physically and mentally. I had begun my day by waking up with the sound of an alarm clock too early for my…
