He had been texting on his phone, speeding, and ignoring the stop sign. Kathryn Limmel, the witness, has stated that Emily Hartly had been listening to music with earphones and was most…

path with no obstacles, it probably won’t lead anywhere.” This famous figure’s name was Frank A. Clark. Obviously, a path without hurdles would be everyone’s deepest desire. A path such as this would be seen as a golden sidewalk leading right to the roads of success. A path such as this would be everyone’s wish in the three that they are allowed to have. Granted, this path leads to the high echelons of money and fame, but at the same time incredibly easy. Such a path should not exist. Obstacles…

I woke up early, got ready, and ran to the car ready to hike. As I peered out the window, I could feel the sun hit my face. I wondered to myself why we were going to hike during the hottest part of the day. My mom said to me, “ put sunscreen on your face and drink some water before we get to Diamond Head.” I really didn't want to, but I said with a soft voice, “okay.”’ After thirty minutes of trying to find a place to park, we finally started our journey to the top. While we were hiking up…

will make a lasting impact in our life or in someone else's. “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost is a poem that articulates the concept of decision making. Because decision making is such a run-of-the-mill task, it can often be related to various pieces of literature. For example, the short story Everyday Use by Alice Walker, Mama, a rough and big boned woman, diverges from her normal route and makes a very valuable decision. “The Road Not Taken” applies to the short story Everyday Use because…

He slowly approached the road that seemed to stretch forever to the north and bent east after about a mile on the southern bound lane. He looked up at the power lines and followed them as far back as his eyes permitted. Squinting through the slight fog he could see the faint outline of the highland that he had been upon. He looked back at the sun-bleached, rotting road and sighed. Although he lived disconnected from society, he felt as if he connected to something else. He later realized that on…

Progression of the Plot Through Conflict in The Road In Cormac McCarthy’s The Road, the pervasive and inescapable threats present within the protagonist’s environment establishes an external conflict – man versus nature – and further contributes to the overall plot of surviving the eradication of species and most civilization through emphasizing the loss of accustomed conveniences. The unnamed man and his son face various challenges; primarily starvation, retaining warmth, irregular weather,…

It ranged from the 1950’s to the 1990’s with a few newer builds scattered around the outskirts on larger parcels of land. Most homes were traditional frame houses, but on some of the dirt roads with dead ends, trailers could be found in varying states of disrepair. Surprisingly, Roan Mountain has a medical center with basic health care services and EMT support, a pharmacy, volunteer firefighting, and an animal hospital. I suppose if it…

the Yushu area. However, during our tree-hugging mission, we were also able to observe the local culture and lifestyle, and somewhere along the line, the strangers I explored Yushu with became my friends. The vehicle encountered every bump in the road as we drove into the mountains. I was half asleep, having woken up at five in the morning during summer vacation, and was battling the low pressure and oxygen levels. A monstrous force was building between my eyes, and my resting heart rate was a…

On a cursory reading of Robert Frost’s 1915 poem, “The Road Not Taken,” Frost appears to be thinking that about the life choices pending a decision regarding which road to talk. Though this poem is known to be written by Frost in one of his vacant moods, the frame of mind of Frost is difficult to measure. Frost was right in analyzing his inner world when he wrote, “I’m never more serious than when joking” (Robinson, 2016). As such, literary critic and scholar David Orr (2016) is right when he…

Beyond the Silver Lining Lehigh University: a private, relatively small school, rich in tradition and ancestry. While walking on campus, there is a strong sense of community and unity. Every student, both undergraduate and graduate, is here to improve their education and experience all that Lehigh has to offer. While nearly all Lehigh students would agree to those facts, I would also coincide by saying Lehigh is an institution like no other. However, with all of these positive reflections,…
