The people of Nebraska, especially the children, teachers, and parents who had to face many challenges during the Schoolchildren’s Blizzard. In both the poem “A Woman’s Voice” by Ted Kooser and the article “Blizzard!” by Jeanie Mebane shows all the challenges the ones affected by the storm had to face. Both passages described the bravery and courage people needed to survive the blizzard. But both passages also described how many families were separated by the powerful storm. In both the poem, A…

I’m always the first one to go onto the slopes. You can’t wait for the lift to take you up, you stand in line eager to take you up the hill. You listen to your snow boot clamp against the ground as you stomp your way up to the front only to find the gondola is under repair and you must take a bus to the next one 3 miles away. And the worst part is trying to run in them is terrible because they weigh like 20 pounds…

Snow has arrived on the east coast. It’s cold. I’m sitting in my house wearing a snowsuit and drinking hot chocolate. The outside is a mess of fallen branches and frozen roads, and so I can’t replenish my dwindling soup supply. Now would be a great time to get on a plane and fly to California, the land of non-cold. I welcome you to join me. For the trip, I’ve built a playlist of nine grooving songs to put us in a California state of mind. You may be wondering why I have chosen nine songs to…

multiple, treacherous and seemingly never ending winter storms made there way through New England. All the snow sparked hibernation but also curiosity within me. I have noticed through out the last week that even the most experienced with snow are sent into frenzy at the sight of a single snowflake. Rhode Island, although small has a huge stereotype of freaking out the second someone says “snow”, but in a very strange way. With every storm whether it be hurricane Sandy or winter storm Nemo…

for an entire week! Filled with snow cream, sledding, and binge-watching shows with puzzles. What a week it was! During my snow week, one of my favorite things to do was make snow cream! The complete deliciousness of this cream is unbelievable! The milk, sugar, and vanilla together make a dreamy flavor. The one problem is, snow cream is not something you can just want and get. Snow cream is an amazing treat to go along with all the snow! Later on, the cold, wet snow froze my friend Libby and…

(http://adsoftheworld.com/media/print/dentyne_ice_avalanche), it plays the idea if the gum is being chewed, and then it will turn the mouth into a snowstorm. It illustrates inside a mouth, which its scenery of a avalanche of a winter cold storm, with a cabin, an ice snow cloudy trail going up, and with icicles on the teeth. Using location, coloring objects details, and audience appeal, this ad successfully and the clever use of several visual elements, he advertisers of the Dentyne Ice Gum ad…

More than 150 years ago, the invention of the camera, a now every day item, was made and its later counterparts would be the technology to predict deadly catastrophes and save millions of people. This modern technology is known as remote sensing. The term “remote sensing” was used first by Evelyn Pruitt of the U.S. Office of Naval Research in the 1950s. It is “commonly used to describe science-and art-of identifying, observing, and measuring an object without coming into direct contact with it”…

song I 'm obsessed with, Tainted Love by Marilyn Manson. I light another cigarette then neared off to the park where I can be alone. ~ I push the snow off the bench and plop down. The park is quiet and lonely; no one in sight except for me. I look at the jungle gym and study the frost on the bars. I wish for a damn miracle. I twirl my foot in the snow making an imperfect circle. I switch positions and feel the papers in my back pocket; I take them out and look at them. The one thing that…

miles were covered in snow. The cold felt like thousands of needles dancing on my skin. I looked up towards the sky. It was a pale blue with clouds as white as the snow that surrounded me. Everything here amazed me. A small smiled appeared on my face. This was like a dream I didn 't want to end. I start laughing to myself. Too bad this was a dream, and it soon was going to end. I sighed deeply. Might as well make the most of it, right? I walked around the trees watching as the snow landed on the…

Close your eyes and imagine. Imagine a small boy wearing a small blue winter coat, standing, at the top of a peak reaching 14,114 ft into the sky. Now imagine that small boy peer over the edge of a cliff who knows how high. Imagine this boy seeing this and being afraid, being afraid he’d fall. Imagine that this fear prompted that little kid to lay down and stare over the edge of that cliff until the fears overtook him too much and he ran away from the deadly edge. Fears can come from anywhere,…
