A Lesson in General Musky Fishing My Experience and Knowledge Concerning Musky Fishing “There you go Austin, reel it in!” my dad said. We were fishing for walleye off a dock at Clear Lake, Iowa. I was only 9 years old. I knew that whatever I had on the line was big, but I had no idea that it would be the first musky I'd ever seen or caught. The fish was mediocre size, having a length of only 31 inches. Nonetheless, I was mesmerized by the musky’s beauty and grace as it swam away from the dock. I…

When the old man found himself in the fight of his life, he also found himself alone. Facing his challenges detached from any companion, Santiago and his introspection are a vital part of Ernest Hemingway’s Novel, The Old Man and The Sea. One of the greatest writers since William Shakespeare, Hemingway is undoubtedly a valuable part of English literature. Despite being awarded a Nobel and Pulitzer Prize, Hemingway still faced many critics and experienced many hardships. This story is about an…

Sierra Owen Cady Windish Creative Composition 15 September 2017 Don’t Be Greedy Once upon a time, there were a fisherman and his wife who lived together in a huge castle right next to the ocean. Every morning, the fisherman would go out and fish for hours. One day, he was sitting there with his giant hook in the water and he felt a tug. Moments later, he felt a bigger tug. Then again, the tug was so hard, he almost flew out of his chair. He began to reel in and it took forever because…

had to offer. The Native Americans had been fishing for trout for hundreds of years but not in bulk like the settlers did to feed hundreds of families. They also didn’t clear cut hundreds of acres of densely wooded forest either like the settlers did when they first came here. As time went on and more…

Three Learning Moments First learning moments this week was during our very first day of class where we took a field trip down to the river in canoes. We paddled down the river about 2 miles, so we could experience what lies beneath and around the riverbed, immersing ourselves in the environment and strangers at the same time. I Kayak, but I never really take the time to stop and enjoy what the water, and what its surroundings have to offer, I use it as an exercise, not a tool for a forum, but I…

Castaway assessment 1. To critique the film castaway I would say that they do not show enough of what he had to do to survive for the 4 years on the island they showed him catching a few fish and the showed him cracking coconuts, but they never showed him trying to catch any animals or setting any traps that he might find on an island. Also, I would have a little bit more of the time that they were having at home searching for him or at his funeral. They just showed him at the island for the…

go back,” I said. “What are you talking about going back for we just got here,” replied my dad. “We've been out here fishing all day and we haven't even had a bite,” I said. I and my dad for the past five years have gone on a fishing trip to Hawaii. I always loved the trip, but this year it was different we were already halfway through the week-long trip and only been out fishing one day. To make things even worse we hadn't even had a bite all day. All I wanted to do was go back to the island…

In our studies of the sea, one theme connects its’ role in all stories we’ve read: the cyclical nature of its power. In Riders to the Sea, the sea brings sustenance and income to Maurya, as well takes away her husband and all of her sons. In The Sea at Dauphin, the sea brings Afa a livelihood but takes away everything else worth living for. The house in Home follows a similar pattern. There are celebrations of life and death, union and separation, and happiness and despair. Like nature, the idea…

catch worms yourself and go fishing with the worms that you caught. It was the perfect day to go fishing, and it just rained so I decided to go worm catching so I did. As I went outside I started to dig a flower bed as my mom instructed me to. As soon as I found rich soil, I started to dig. I found one worm, then another, and another soon I had about 14 worms! When I went back inside to tell my mom and dad, my dad said “I’ll take you outside to the pond so you can go fishing.” So we went out…
