Hundred Acre Wood

In “The Nothingness Forest,” by Margareta Ekström, the central character ventures out into the world longing for adventure and freedom, ideas she associates with growing up, but realizes that the loneliness her growing up brings is the worst possible repercussion. While she wanders around in the forest, her dog tries to guide her back to safety and home, “but the child is only aware of his keeping her from the one thing that is important and fun: walking” (Ekström 105). She aspires to explore…

not even appear to have one scratch on it. Even after it had been kicked, trembled on, and dropped it still seemed to be unaffected. It was amazing to see nature's ingenuity in producing a durable, yet tiny acorn, that only seemed to be made out of wood. The longer I stared at the acorn, the more intricate its details became. The acorn seemed to have been the product of a fusion of rings spiraling around its edges of the top. The acorn also seemed to have blemishes in its color; some areas had…

1. The initial problem with Sylvia’s self-contained APE class was that she worried that she was missing out on so much in the GPE classroom. Also, she felt extremely left out at recess because all the other kids were used to playing with each other, making her seem like the “outsider.” She didn’t want to feel like a baby anymore; she wanted to be included, just like the other kids. 3. The self-contained APE class had to be changed because of Sylvia’s feelings and overall potential to grow.…

What was supposed to just be a hunting trip, changed the life of a nine-year-old little girl named Andy in the short story Doe Season written by David Michael Kaplan. This short story was about two men and their children going into the woods for a weekend to hunt deer. At first, Andy was unwanted there by her father’s friend and son. Charlie Spoon and his son, Mac, thought only boys or men needed to hunt. During the story, their opinions changed a little when Andy was the only one who brought…

As I make my precarious way into the wood, it seems my cautious tip toeing is pointless, for with every step a twig or a leaf snaps underfoot. Nevertheless, I continue on, the sound of my footsteps reverberating with an impossible loudness through the surrounding foliage. I gaze upon the towering trees around me, noting that the mottled skin of their branches bear a pleasant resemblance to my own flesh; the burn scars which race up and down my whole body a constant reminder of my task. The wind…

“Come back here Lilly!” I called from the porch. I had just watched my little kitten run outside and I had to go get her! I scanned the lawn hoping and praying she would still be out there.

There was only one thing wrong, instead of running away like I would expect her to do, she was digging in the lawn! She never digs, not even in the house! Completely weirded out, I run down the stairs and go to…

The posk, a mixture of an opossum, skunk, and fox, would be beneficial to the Temperate Deciduous Forest because the superspecies would have unique characteristics from each of the animals.
