a high-stress position. Although these two poems share a similar theme, each author uses the literary elements in different ways to convey the same message. In Traveling through the Dark, Stafford takes the voice of a person driving through a mountain pass during the night when he discovers a dead deer in the middle of the road. The tone of this poem is…

The Mountain Meadows Massacre was a killing of about 120 people that were going through Southern Utah in September of 1857. The Massacre happened on September 11, 1857. The men, women, and children were traveling from Arkansas to California, on the Baker Fancher wagon train. After they left Arkansas, the Fancher party went west through Kansas and Nebraska territories before entering Utah territory. In Utah the party went by Fort Bridger and Salt Lake City traveling south until getting to Cedar…

We traverse through the rigid landscape, the small 2 lane road has more curves than straights. We sneak around the mountains and sometimes through them. Below a river is Surging, from the melted snow. It was the last day of my vacation to Colorado. as we ascend into the sky my ears were popping like a fresh batch of popcorn, we were almost there. Monstrous skiing hills Lie in the distance. We pull into a parking lot shadowed by the ski lodge. I jump out of the car expecting a surge of cold to…

you to rule over us. We never cared for the decisions you made. Like the Proclamation of 1763, we were living on the Appalachian Mountains, but you wanted to give it to some natives to save your own skin. That’s why you shouldn’t have fought in the French & Indian war that also caused us to lose the land of the Appalachian Mountains. Another idiotic thing you did was pass the Stamp Act, who wants to pay for something we did free for years and all it did was help the soldiers and not us people.…

Jean Piaget, a Swiss psychologist and philosopher proposed the theory of cognitive development. It consists of four stages: sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational and formal operational. Piaget presumed that children pass through these stages in a fixed order from birth to adolescence.

Since the 1970s, over 23.5 million pounds of copper and zinc has flowed out of the Iron Mountain Mine due to mining activities (Sickles 2013). Pollution from mines is disastrous because they contaminate the nearby river systems. Due the severity of the pollution at the Iron Mountain Mine, the EPA had to pass necessary measures to decrease the amount of pollution present in the surrounding water systems through the process of remediation (EPA 2015). The EPA has enacted several measures to…

reach the fork to the east after that village. Soon we will leave the main road and tomorrow we will reach Eastmark." Count Erling said looking at the small village and the mountains which rose in front of them. They had been riding for three days through a great plain following the road towards the north. The great mountains had started to be visible the day before at the horizon and now they were in front of them like a great wall. "Does the main road go on towards Arendelle?" Erick asked.…

The book I decided to read was As Strong as Mountains: a Kurdish Cultural Journey, written by Robert L. Brenneman. I wanted to read this book because I did not know any aspects of the Kurdish culture. I enjoy learning about other cultures, and Kurdish is one culture that I had very little knowledge of. In fact, I am not very educated about the cultures within the Middle East in general. This book helped me understand new aspects of the Kurdish culture and their lifestyle. Author Brenneman…
