Gravel road

I steadily walk half a mile every day, around my neighborhood; but today I was walking a mile more. 30 blocks of pure pain for my feet to see a show that I could have very easily watched on television. By the time we got to the big, gorgeous theater, I forgot about how everything that had gone wrong up until this point. The fact that my feet were throbbing, this city smells like one big dumpster, and the people here are super rude, just vanished. None of this mattered to me anymore. The…

informative that when you put yourself on the road, you’re putting your protection in other people’s hands. People on the road make choices that affect everyone around them, and for Mrs. Brant’s son, it had affected him greatly. The choices that we all make can’t just affect us; we have thoroughly think through how it will affect others. If a person is intoxicated and decides to drive on the road, they are not only risking their own life, but also other lives on the road. The video Mrs. Brant…

The Road Life is all about decisions and mistakes. Have you ever been lost in the woods, is it easy to take the wrong path? Yes, and once people get so far down it and make all of these turns, its hard to find their way back when it's the wrong path. Robert Frost did not know what road was better. Sometimes in life people do not know the right path and sometimes they look equally as good, but they will have to test them. He took the one less traveled, how do you tell which one is good and…

Queens-dwellers have mixed feelings upon hearing the road running from Jamaica, Queens to Midtown Manhattan, known notoriously as the Boulevard of Death, is ultimately undergoing much needed reform. On July 23, Mayor De Blasio announced the implementation of a $100 million dollar project, called Vision Zero, which will completely reconstruct the boulevard, making it a safer place primarily for pedestrians and bikers. Queens Boulevard is the widest street in New York City (175-225ft) on which…

campsite in South Grand Canyon, loud, pleasant music turned to static. I walked from the front of the RV to the end and elevated my phone to detect a signal. Even the navigation showed blank. It was close to midnight and we had been rolling down the bumpy road for almost four hours. Endless. There were no reflecting signboards, no streetlights. We were the only light source during these hours of driving. Two beams of headlights broke dauntlessly around the curve of ghat. The dashboard pointed at…

As a new member of the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, I have been assigned to do a GPS survey and a GIS analysis of the Kennedy Valley Trail (Sam Rayson Valley Trail) for the purpose of the development of the trail as there are no amenities in the trail. To get a general idea of how things are placed in a trail, I did a pre-survey on the trail west of Kennedy Rd. (Etobicoke Creek Trail) and found that it was quite undeveloped as well. Below is the data of how many light posts there…

and Men and Frost's 'The Road Not Taken' and 'Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening'. All of these texts explore journeys and different impacts of fear and regret which has lead the audience to consider that the destination and arrival doesn't, in fact, matter. Fear is a large part of journeys. A journey can be initiated by fear or have multiple problems and fearful consequences. Fear often accompanies journeys as a way to reinitiate and push forward a slow journey. 'The Road Not Taken' provides…

We traverse through the rigid landscape, the small 2 lane road has more curves than straights. We sneak around the mountains and sometimes through them. Below a river is Surging, from the melted snow. It was the last day of my vacation to Colorado. as we ascend into the sky my ears were popping like a fresh batch of popcorn, we were almost there. Monstrous skiing hills Lie in the distance. We pull into a parking lot shadowed by the ski lodge. I jump out of the car expecting a surge of cold to…

Walking to my car after a late class, there is much more opportunity for observation than during the day. Two girls walk by me, boots knocking against the concrete sidewalk, having a conversation about resumes. It’s one of the most professional conversations I’ve heard all day. The snow from Winter Storm Jonas is slowly melting, but the crunching of what snow is left is a comforting sound. I’m still waiting for that snow day. I unlock my car door, dinging alerting me that it’s open. I start my…
