Hibernation

4:15 happened to be the time I begrudgingly woke up this morning. Blinking a few times to really make sure my watch was correct, I rolled over onto my back and stared up at the bunk above me. Not expecting it to make too much of a difference, I didn’t turn on my miniature battery-operated fan the night before, so I woke up sweaty and miserable. Apparently, the Honduran heat began just as early as the sunrise, which just happened to be around 5 a.m. every day. It may have been the sixth day of an…

For my analysis, the story that I've chosen is the Kraken by Arthur Lord Tennyson. The poem itself is derivative of the Norse legend of the creature, a more than giant squid-like monster that was rumored to live off the coasts of Norway and Greenland. It is said that the legend of the Kraken is most likely based on sightings of giant squids, who - like the Kraken - lay in the depths, but have reportedly surfaced in order to cause havoc and attack sailing vessels. It is often the victim of wild…

The Racer is a very fast snake. It can move at almost 13km/hr. In some places Racers will hibernate in groups of as large as 100, but in others they will hibernate in groups of 10-15. They hibernate below the frost line in rock formations during the Winter. Typically a grassland species, the Blue Racer inhabits fields and open dry land. They prefer to live in areas with little human habitation. The Racer eats insects, frogs, other smaller snakes, small rodents, and birds. The predators of the…

Many themes have been present over the course of the book; A Space Odyssey, Some themes show that the progression of humanity comes with a great cost, though the theme that stuck out both to me and the other readers was that dependency and the trusting of technology can be very perilous. This theme sticks out the most due to the fact that it is very relatable to the real world as new, more advanced technologies emerge and the other reason being how technology affects the characters in the novel.…

“Left to Imagination” Introduction {get attention} In their poems “Junk Car in the Snow” and “Burning the Hornet’s Nest” both poets Ron Rash and Robert Morgan describe to readers what it was like to be raised in the southern Appalachian Mountains as a child throughout seasons of life. Both poets Rash and Morgan were natives to the land of southwest North Carolina and created poems that would allow readers to interpret what life was like for these two growing up in the Appalachian Mountains. The…

Nike because as the spring season came along, I assumed more people would trade in their winter boots for nice, new Nike running shoes. My thought process was that as people felt the warm weather they would be motivated to get out of the winter hibernation, and exercise. Nike sells primarily active wear, so the translation was there. I chose the Hershey Company because the Easter season was coming up. Most families buy lots of candy during this time, whether for children’s Easter Baskets, Easter…

watched a family’s Christmas, and when the time came, had to say goodbye. It was in the midst of a frostbitten November afternoon, when I heard a rustling in the nearby bushes. I figured it was a deer or maybe a bear getting ready for hibernation. Then I heard a man’s voice, followed by what I could only presume to be the playful bickering of children, which was put to a halt by the firm serious tone of their mother. There were many things running through…

This theme is developed as Phoenix goes on her journey and it is revealed to us that she goes through everything for her grandson, the hidden part of her…

half asleep to find two tiny hands reaching out for me in the dark. Green eyes pierce through the blackness, like two tiny moons in the sky. Rubbing the sleep from my eyes, I groan before sitting up. At this point, I look like a bear coming out of hibernation. I’m confused, my eyesight is blurred, and all I want is to curl back up in the warm bed. The chill hits my arms raising dozens of goosebumps on my arms. I look down at a tiny face, eyes wide, breathing heavy. There’s the whimpering again,…
