Grand Trunk Road

Imagine driving to Florence one day in a small car. All is going well at the time. The sun is shining, and the radio is playing the best music. Looking in the rear view mirror, a truck appears behind the car. Paying it no attention, everything keeps going according to plan. Suddenly, it sounds as if an airplane is passing overhead and is making its final approach. Looking through the sun roof, nothing can be seen except a clear blue sky. Taking a look in the side view mirror, the so called…

mixed in as well. The scent was dense enough to be able to taste the uncooked food. The road was rough and cracked, with small bumps every few seconds. A calm breeze blew throughout the area, keeping everything at a nice cool temperature. There were fields of all kinds on either side of the road, with foods like corn, soybeans, and potatoes growing throughout. A large house sat on a small hill on one side of the road. With white and yellow walls starting to chip, and a blackish grey roof with…

Forever and ever the road seemed to stretch, as though it was designed with no end in mind — as though it was designed to go on forever. This would not have been all that bad had it not been for the fact that I was treading in territory somewhere deep in the heart of Mission, Texas, a city entirely unfamiliar to me. I was surrounded by an unknown frontier, and I knew not which way led home. To make matters a little worse, I had my younger brother, Diego, age 14, in the passenger seat beside me.…

The Woman on Wendover Road - Draft It was a foggy October night, and Martin O’Neil was driving back from work to his new home in the countryside. Fully focused on his driving, and straining his eyes to see the street names in the darkness, Martin was startled a loud ringing noise. I glanced at my phone that I had previously thrown onto the passenger seat of my car, curious to see who was calling me so late in the night. I was quite surprised to see my beloved wife’s name on the caller ID, as…

“The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost, recognizes the theme of making choices. In the poem, the speaker comes across a fork in the road when walking in the woods on an autumn day. Presented before him are two alternatives, with one option reasonably obvious and the other more subtle. He anticipates that one path has been traveled on more often than the other; however both paths are equally untraveled. While the speaker desires to follow both routes, he can only choose one, thus he arbitrarily…

Unstable, red, bumpy brick roads causing student bikers and drivers daily mayhem as they can feel every pot hole and dip in the street. Not to mention the horrendous condition of the sidewalks as well. The students of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln already have enough stress put on them to excel in classes, they should be given beautiful, safe, pot hole free sidewalks and streets to enjoy. One would think with the amount of tuition the students pay here, the university could at least…

The field of engineering impacts our society in many, many ways. There are the most obvious impacts, technological and technical improvements (means of transportation, electronics, resource distributions services, et cetera), but there are impacts that may be somewhat vague, such as global and societal impacts. Both impacts must be weighted equally by the modern, citizen engineer. As an engineering student in southeast Ohio, one of the more recent and relevant examples of engineering impacting a…

not be able to accomplish what is expected of them. The most common Campbell stage in real life has to be the road of trials. Everyone goes through the road of trial. How can I prove it? Your personality changes through time. I believe the road of trials doesn 't end until we are unable to accomplish something or until we have accomplished everything we wanted to accomplish, but the road of trials that makes the biggest change in our lives is going through…
