farmers in the northern colonies. The Northern colonies mainly offered other resources such as fish, trees, and animal fur that could be traded with places like England. Gabriel Thomas, a Quaker, said “There are vast numbers of other wild creatures, as elks, buffaloes, &c., which as well beasts, fowl, and fish are free and common to any person who can shoot or take them….” (Document 10). They would sell and trade with Britain in exchange for things they needed at that…

she had been with. Homer was not a “marrying man” (520) said the townspeople. The townspeople believed that Emily would “persuade him [to marry her] because Homer himself remarked he like men, it was known that he drank with the younger men in the elks Club” (520). From this quote readers can question Homers sexuality. The connotation behind the gossiping townspeople statements, can suggest Homers relationship preference. The connotation on “like” in the story is used as to have an attraction in…

"When the law disarms good guys, bad guys rejoice." ~Ted Nugent. What do you thing about gun control? Guns should not be ban or taken away they should have certain requirements. Guns are our personal rights and they are our Second Amendment. Our Second Amendment protects an individual's rights to own a firearm unconnected with service in a military, and to use that firearm for traditionally lawful purpose such as self-defense. The right to own and bear arms laws is as fundamental and as…

Nearly half a century ago sixteen men came together and formed an organization based on a love of trout fishing and discontentment towards statewide trout stocking standards. In July 1959, along the banks of Michigan’s Au Sable River, George Griffith and fellow trout enthusiasts established ‘Trout, Unlimited’ (now known as Trout Unlimited) as a non-government organization with a vision to help trout populations thrive and prosper to their full potential (Trout Unlimited 11/11/2015). The founders…

Man’s Best Friend They say a dog is a man’s best friend. I can agree with that given that I had a four legged, furry friend. My golden retriever, Copper, was my best friend. He was always there for me when I needed someone to rant to, he never judged me, and he would continue to love me even after shouting at him. No other dog could ever compare to Copper. He was one of the world’s greatest dogs in addition to being a best friend. Ten years ago, my parents decided to get my brother, Grant, and…

The Survival of an individual in the IT industry hinges on technology expertise and implementation skills. I was told about these two lifelines by my senior colleagues multiple times, but as the saying goes "realization comes with experience '. I personally understood this while was working on a critical project at Akamai Technologies. I was a Project manager and an integration specialist; wherein my primary responsibilities were to be an Akamai Product expert and be a Technical lead on…

She has recorded seeing a moose, big horn sheep, and many large elks while traveling in mountainous areas. Seeing these animals in their natural habitat cannot be captured on a plane. Also seeing snow-capped mountains and streams flowing as a result of melted snow is peaceful and…

by bears playing on a massive outdoor amp. With these humble tools, the legendary Hunter S. Thompson wished his friend Jack Nicholson a happy birthday late in the evening. The recording blaring, spotlight shining, handgun discharged into the sky and elks heart, presumably, thawing on Nicholson’s doorstep. I would like to think that this serves as a worthwhile introduction of this modern day Loki of literature. A brilliant writer who crafted his stories as much in his manner of living as he ever…

Iron-Grey Hair Emily lived many years as a loner; she withdrew from her community to live in isolation. The story skips a lot over time to different parts in her life, "She was sick for a long time. When we saw her again" (Faulkner 147) "When we next saw Miss Emily" (Faulkner 147). Faulkner tries to characterize Emily's seclusion through her actions. When her father died a lot of time passed until we saw her again, and when her relationship ended, again more time passed before we saw her again.…
