Moose

Krebs credited Taft with being “the only chief executive in the nation who had ever made a woman chief of a bureau,” (Women) but fails to mention that he did not campaign for suffrage. Theodore Roosevelt’s Progressive Party, also known as the Bull Moose Party, included the only two women delegates, Florence C. Porter and Isabella Blaney, both from California. In 1910, Taft spoke at the National American Women Suffrage Association (NAWSA), but would not endorse women’s suffrage, whereas in 1912,…

When I was younger, my friend Nathalie and I always played living in the wilderness. We were two orphans running away from the police and the nasty warden of the orphanage. The forest near our school and the fields next to my parent's house were our home. Alone in the wilderness we had to survive on our own; find food, build a bivouac and make a fire. To get the needed knowledge we just had to read up on it in my scouting manual. Brian, the protagonist in Gary Paulsen's novel “Hatchet” written…

The Wyoming backcountry is stunning. There is an infinite blanket of trees in every direction. The sky has two moods either happy: blue with cotton ball clouds or angry: a stormy scary black color. The air smells like sage and pine -- fresh and crisp. July, 2015, along with 11 close friends, 2 counselors, and a trip leader I went hiking in the backcountry of Wyoming on a 6 day backpacking trip. The air smells like sage and pine -- fresh and crisp, overpowers the salty, moist smell of the other…

According to Jonathan Sircy, “Bishop has a preference for poems with a happy ending or a ruefully cheerful one” (Sircy 1). Certain poems that Bishop has written end up in cheerful endings; such as, “The End of March,” “A Miracle for Breakfast,” and the “Moose.” One specific poem that diverges from others is “One Art.” This poem, compared to others, is much more dark and serious. It doesn’t end like the rest and it ends up being very relatable to readers. This poem is based on the central idea…

There are many things I remember from my long 17 years of being alive, playing football, shooting guns, passing time with loved ones, my first girlfriend, but on thing that will always stand above the crowd is the smell of beer. Not the sweet smell of Bourbon, or the harsh smell of Whiskey, or the savory smell of Wine, but the rotten smell of cheap beer. It was a smell that followed me everywhere in the early years of my adolescence, so much so that I began to believe that it was the social norm…

The arts can also serve as a way for people to become more connected with other individuals and with themselves. Arabs and Jews, two groups with a historic conflict, were able to come together and learn from each other from musical involvement. In Israel, the Polyphony Foundation began as a small school in Nazareth in 2007 intending to spread musical education in their community; this foundation currently focuses on creating positivity between Arab and Jewish people through shared experiences.…

McCandless stepped foot into the woods, a journey that would last four months, coming to an end much earlier than he would’ve hoped. In August of 1992, just four months after Chris walked alone into the wild, his perishing body was found by a party of moose hunters. Chris went into the wild hoping to get away from corrupt society and to live a transcendentalist lifestyle. His bold journey was going well until he made a silly mistake when he came across seeds from the wild potato. The seeds…

his journey is a criticism brought up often in the debate of his heroism. McCandless went North with no map, money, proper attire, food, and proper knowledge (Krakauer 5). McCandless lacked proper hunting skills, seen in McCandless’s killing of the moose. McCandless did not know the best way to preserve meat was to cut it in thin strips and let it dry, and instead smoked the meat, a decision that proved to be burdensome and stupid (Krakauer 166). However, McCandless consciously decided to be…

The political milieu of the early 1900s prepared a stage for the Progressive Era, which dawned on the widespread movement of reforms against social corruptions. The expression of social, political, and economical discontent fueled the interest of the common people. This period presented abundant opportunity, drawing forth support from various leaders who confronted internal and external issues. These progressive presidents included militarist Theodore Roosevelt, his hand-picked successor William…

potential in pulling the reader in because there is a lot going on with images, text and colors. The final picture inside the St. Thomas brochure is the logos of the places you are able to eat. These include 3 popular logos most people know: Java Moose, Tim Hortons and Subway. The university made a good choice when deciding to include these logos because it will draw people in because they know there are places they would like. Especially if just skimming over the brochure and not taking the…
