Mount Carmel

For my Field Study Day I had a confusing turn of events that caused me to go and a research paper on the movie Everest. My original plan was to volunteer at the Elks Lodge but when we arrived there we couldn’t find anyone and waited an hour and a half before leaving. We tried going to a few places nearby, like a church and a retirement home to ask if there were any volunteer opportunites to no avail. So as a last ditch effort we went to the movies and saw Everest. This movie is based on an…

Hokusai used scale when he painted Mount Fuji. His composition in The Great Wave and The Inlet of Nobuto placed Mount Fuji in a distant center point in each painting. Mount Fuji is symbolic in each painting, yet he uses scale to give importance to the catastrophic waves, or the Japanese villagers gathering peacefully. In both paintings, Mount Fuji is the background. The mountain is undefeated by natural disasters. In The Inlet of Nobuto, the mountain is really distant, and completely covered…

Imagine yourself standing on top of a mountain, feeling the breeze hit your face and flowing through your hair. Imagine yourself feeling the weight and burden of everything that’s ever happened to you suddenly disappear as you look across the mountain top, viewing the world from a much clearer sight than anything you’ve ever seen before. Imagine, just imagine, yourself knowing that you accomplished climbing a mountain all on your own, that everything you did in the past lead up to this very…

because a rock unexpectedly fell on your head, would you want rescue services to help you? A ranger died thursday afternoon, an informational article by Guy Moreau explaining the challenges of everest, and an interview with Nick Heil talking about mount everest and why there have been more rescue calls.

Mount Saint Helens On the day of May 18, 1980 at 8:32 a.m., one of the most deadly and economically destructive volcanic eruption took place. This eruption was from Mount Saint Helens located almost one hundred miles south of Seattle, Washington. The famous eruption killed fifty-seven people, destroyed two hundred fifty homes, forty-seven bridges, fifteen miles of railways and one hundred eighty-five miles of highway. Mount Saint Helens had been dormant for the past one hundred twenty-three…

My paper will talk about Mt. Everest staying open or should they close it. I believe that they should shut it down for a little while. I believe they should shut it down for a little while because there has been like 16 people died there. Since 16 out of 25 people died there they should close it down until they make it safer. That’s some reasons they should close it down for a little while. The mountain is the biggest in the world and people want to climb it. People have the right to climb it…

In early May 1996, two teams of commercial expeditions led by highly experiences climbers attempted to reach the summit of Mount Everest. Out of the 23 mountaineers that attempted the summit, only 18 survived. Of the five that perished, two men, Rob Hall and Scott Fischer, extremely skilled climbing leaders with previous experience reaching the summit, did not make the decent. Since that deadly expedition in 1996, many, including the survivors of that climb, have attempted to explain why the…

Keep Everest open In my opinion I think that we should keep everest open for the following reason. My first reason is that if you were to ask anyone who has done any accomplishment in his/her life you will hear them say that they have a sense of achievement that they felt like they could almost do anything and that when you climb that mountain even if you just go up a few hundred feet you feel like you just beat the odds that you had against yourself and that you rose from your personal “jail”…

a riveting story about his life or death experience from the perspective of a reporter which provides an amazing point of view about summiting the most vigorous mountain known to man.
