When we finally got to the cabin it took us four tries to get up the driveway. When we did we went in the cabin and saw It was BEAUTIFUL! My parents got up stairs my aunt (to be) and uncle were on the main floor and the kids were shoved…

an end one day and unfortunately, it is something we have no control over. All authors have different literary elements that they incorporate in their poems to demonstrate a theme or a message. In John Updike’s “Dog’s Death” and Robert Morgan’s “Mountain Graveyard” they both reveal how death is inevitable, however one poem is dependent on imagery and the other is completely dependent on structure. Updike’s poem consists of a lot of imagery. As the dog is being described as “too young to know…

Alzheimer’s disease impedes that linear process; when memories are lost or when the capacity to form new memories vanishes an important link to the content of one’s own identity can be lost too. The story by Alice Munro ‘‘The Bear Came Over the Mountain’’ and the film Away From Her directed by Sara Polley both depicted the poignant aspect of Alzheimer’s disease, concurrently exploring the ways in which one’s life is affixed by love and relationships and how the unmooring such as the loss of…

Aaron was a godly man who became a high priest but like all, faltered…

In famous literature, no matter when written, common themes can be found. One particularly acute example is shown in Homer’s The Odyssey and Charles Frazier’s Cold Mountain. In both of these timeless classics, the heroes share similar traits, interactions, and goals. The most clear example is the corresponding character traits between Inman and Odysseus. Both men show their sheer determination to succeed in their journey. Despite the many adversities they face, neither of the…

Site Visit The Site that I visited was Dawn Mountain Tibetan Buddhist temple on Sunday the 27th at 11:00 a.m. I choose to go to Dawn Mountain because I like the fact that Buddhism doesn’t really have a god, and it’s more of a Philosophy. Also I like to meditate, it’s very tranquil and relaxing. I didn’t have many expectations going in just because I didn’t really know what was going to happen during the service. All I expect was it would contain focus breathing a lot of silences. I didn’t…
