Lake

The Heart Of Selmer Lake We all have a place closest to our hearts, a place where we may travel to once, or many times. A place that draws us in because it reminds us of serenity, beauty, maybe even calmness. To me, these words describe my grandparent’s cottage on Selmer Lake in Iola. My family packed this famous cottage full of memories made from years before I can remember. Standing tall, the light blue A-frame sits on a small lake surrounded by a dense woods, with cranes as loud as the…

Crisis started in April 2014 with the decision to switch the city’s water from a contract with Detroit water from Lake Huron, to the local Flint River. The only reason why for the switch was to save money. The switch, approved by Darnell Earley, Flint’s state-appointed emergency manager, was supposed to be a short switch because Flint was going to use a new pipe line that was connected to Lake Huron. 2. All of politics had something to say about this issue, but I wouldn't stop there. This…

Throughout my elementary school years, from grades kindergarten to 5th grade, I attended a small private school in the town that I lived. My school was, Lake Area Christian and though there are some aspects of my time at this school that I regret, there are many things that I am grateful for. Attending such a small school during my earlier years really helped me begin to acclimate with other children on a smaller scale and learn to navigate looking different than other children. The smaller…

The Lake School is out and I’m ready for the lake, but the only problem is that it has been raining for a week now. When you think of summer, you imagine sunshine and endless play. It’s time to go to the lake and enjoy the outdoors. Unfortunately I'm stuck inside bored for days. I’m ready to be outside and feel the sun on my skin, the wind against my face, and the water underneath my body. All in all, I’m ready for the rain to stop. It finally stopped raining and it's a Monday…

As my descent onto the crowded, frozen lake full of different colors of thick, warm jackets and coats, as families and friends alike laugh and play various sports and activities finally ends with a gut-wrenching cracking sound, a rush of heat courses through me, contrasting the cold winter air, as the salty taste of blood quickly fills my cold, dry mouth as I bite my tongue. Pain floods through my mouth like a tsunami, conveniently distracting me from my numb arm. My mood immediately shifts from…

Hamlet: the intimate and violent lover The beauty of live performance lies in the vast potential interpretations of the same event. The scene between Hamlet and Ophelia is quite complex and up for interpretation. There is a lack of emotion and intimacy between Ophelia and Hamlet. This can especially be noted in the scene in which Ophelia is used as a decoy to set Hamlet up. In the Shakespearean version, Hamlet and Ophelia appear quite distant. There is little to no physical contact. However, in…

the lake bend over like a weak sapling in the middle of a terrible storm. The sun was covered by clouds which dulled its brightness in a unique way. The pain busted in my fingers as I tightly clenched the rough rope. I pushed through knowing the hit of the water would be far more painful. The taste of sweat, dripping, slower than the molasses that was poured over my biscuit, that morning. The sweat blurred the ability to taste anything else with its pungent saltiness. The scent from the lake…
