Log cabin

Our neighbors to the right of us lived in this beautiful log cabin but there was something off about the family itself. One night my dad went out on the back porch and he had heard what he described as the worst argument he had heard in his life. Through shut doors and closed windows, He could hear cussing and screaming…

criticism for this, Reince Priebus, the chairman of the Republican Party and the incoming White House chief of staff, backpedaled on the statement and counter-stated that the language did not refer to conversion therapy. Notably, the president of the Log Cabin Republicans, an LGBTQ+ conservative group, stated that “the nod to conversion therapy was included at the urging of Tony Perkins, the president of the Family Research Council, which has been called an anti-L.G.B.T. extremist group by the…

Over the course of America’s 200 year history, human innovation has only increased. We went from log cabins to skyscrapers, horse-riding to gas-powered vehicles. Human ingenuity has not only made our lives easier, but also safer. Our greatest inventions lie in creating renewable energy and averting water-borne disasters through what we call the dam. Despite the obvious benefits of a dam, op-ed contributor Yvon Chouinard and magazine contributor Bruce Barcott feel differently; they want dams to…

Running Water also includes the theme of roots, albeit in a more light-hearted manner. It mainly focuses on the renewing of old roots instead of forming new ones. A clear example that represents this is Eli’s return from Toronto to his mother’s log cabin, in which he was born, in Blossom, Alberta. Eli also attends the annual Sun Dance of his Blackfoot community which symbolizes his revisit to his own culture and its traditions. Another example which embodies the notion of roots is when the water…

to obey their masters. On the other hand, invisible churches offered an opportunity for slaves to be free in their expression and deeper understanding of God, even at the cost of punishment. The author shared “Sometime the slaves meet in an old log-cabin, when they find it necessary to keep a watch. If discovered, they escape, if possible, but those who are caught often get whipped, some are willing to be punished thus for Jesus sake.” (67) The invisible churches on the plantations were a place…

Tragedy of the Commons in the American West: The Cattle Boom Garrett Hardin’s Tragedy of the Commons is a fundamental principle in the study of environmental science. Hardin’s classic example is the herdsman who desires to selfishly maximize their economic gain at the expense of their community’s shared pasture. In his example, the commons are a shared resource or the open range. Each herdsman is located in a society that prioritizes constant economic gain, while there are limited resources.…

Sure Thing, a play written by David Ives, illustrates two characters, Betty and Bill, who every time they say something that the other doesn’t like, a bell rings to restart the conversation. In the play, the effectiveness of humor plays a major role which helps create the main theme of the play; it shows the importance of first impressions, and how a person initially presents themselves through dialogue could either create or destroy a friendship. The humor in the conversations between Bill and…

One day there were four boys Aidan, Adam, Zach, and Ben sitting around a fire on October 30, 1988 wondering what they were going to do for Halloween tomorrow. Ben exclaimed that he was going to get a Police Officer suit and was going to go around acting like a Officer. “Why don’t you just dress in your regular clothes, that’s scary enough,” Zach said while giggling. Zach was the jokester of the group. “Haha, very funny,” Ben murmured. Usually no one would pick on Ben because was a very tough…

there before they are stationed elsewhere. We continued our day with a trolley ride to several locations around Valley Forge. One area that caught my attention was the campsite where log cabins were created. The tour guide said that the soldiers were not stationed there primarily to fight in battle, but to build cabins and farm crops. Many people who joined the army were individuals who were in it just for the money or to get away from home. Some were not very skilled in battle, which is why…
