Jeep

Katherine pulls her luscious brown hair into a french braid as she glances at the nearby waterhole. What a day, she thinks, as she pulls out her camera from under the seat of her dusty old Jeep. Just then, a female lioness walks noiselessly past her car and halts at the waterhole. She crouches down and starts to lap up the crocodile infested water. Katherine snaps her camera rapidly, feeling extremely lucky; this is her fourth good sighting today. She about the cheetah cubs and the leopard and…

wasn’t for the fact that the plane only had a small, dirty, and old jeep sitting, collecting dust for what seemed to be years, but the money I had left went into this and my “room” on this island of dreams. After what was hours I felt some turbulence and then a bang, and the plane’s cargo bay door flew open and started to suck everything in the bay out into the open air. Then I slipped and flew out but managed to grab onto the jeep and the I am just falling and I about to hit the grou…. Where am…

I see basically anything with color move. We’d drive up to a little shrub and he’d ever so quietly park the jeep. We never wanted to drive the car right up to the blind, the engine roaring, twigs snapping underneath the 35’s, and me, squeaking after every bump that shot me a little bit out of my seat, would have probably scared anything with ears in a fifty mile radius away. So with the jeep parked, my Pops grabbed his bow, allowing me the incredible pleasure of carrying not one, not two, but…

Today many students are scared to go “outside of the box” because they are worried about “fitting in.” In the excerpt “On the Uses of a Liberal Education,” written by Mark Edmundson, an English teacher who teaches at the University of Virginia, Edmundson states that both teachers and students at colleges do not value the opportunity of education rather a “customer culture.” First, Edmundon begins with a day that he does not like evaluation day. Edmundson typically receives good reviews;…

film cuts directly to shots that actively incorporate signifiers of chaos implied in the opening of the novel with a canted low angle of an open, black jeep riding down an empty city plaza, filled with at least a dozen young adults, some of whom are dressed in harlequin costumes and make up shouting joyfully. The characters spill out of the jeep and run down stairways, passing the oblivious pedestrians, breaking the silence of, presumably, the morning commute. The silence is re-established in…

The author of “On Natural Death” by Lewis Thomas begins his essay by being lighthearted about death and progressively gets more into depth with the aspects of death for different living things and whether or not they detect pain. This is to objectify the fact that death is destined for all living things and that it shouldn’t be planned or feared but instead, it should be accepted. The first strategy Lewis Thompson uses is denouncing books about death. Lewis emphasizes that death is…

Death Valley “Finally! A campsite” said Gina. “I hope it has supplies that we can use.” We started walking to the campsite in the scorching hot weather I didn’t think we would make it 1½ miles to the campsite. My throat felt like a desert also. While we were walking I saw rattlesnakes and could hear him warning us to get away. We finally got to the campsite 1 ½ miles later. There was lots of water, hats for a little shade and food. We saw a backpack there so we stole it. While I grabbed it…

For veterans, sacrifice is a constant in their lives, be it the sacrifices they make at home, to leave their family and friends behind them for their country's sake, or on enemy lines, when they're selflessly putting their lives at stake for us. They become veterans because of their patriotism, their dedication to those around them, the pursuit of freedom, and for their beliefs. Everything this country is built on is protected by veterans’ blood, sweat, tears, and hard work. These sacrifices and…
