Most people believe leadership is defined by a title: President, General, Chairman, etc. Titles do hold importance, there is no doubt about that, but they contain minimal value when it comes to leading. True leadership cannot be awarded, assigned, or appointed. Leadership is not primarily a formal position. The world has seen many great leaders whom held no high position; for example, Martin Luther King Jr. One does not need a title to be a leader. By all means, one can be a leader within their…

toward our favorite fishing spot. Near this secluded location resting upon an island, lied a gorgeous larger than life scarlet oak tree with glossy green leaves. At first glance it would appear as if the darkened brown trunk and moderately stout limbs of the tree engulfed the entire islands surroundings. Nestled deep within the branches slightly above the base of the oak was a runty rustic tree house. I could tell the winter had taken its toll on the old fort because two missing wall panels…

purity and yet in this poem, it is beautifully wrapped around an undeserving vessel. To further support that Christabel could be seen as support to the relationship between sexuality and purity, we can explore the reason who she was found under the oak tree. Geraldine can be pitied once you’ve read her story, “Five warriors seized me yestermorn, /Me, even me, a maid forlorn: /They choked my cries with force and fright, /And tied me on a palfrey white. /.../As sure as Heaven shall rescue me, /I…

July 6, 1994, pushing strong winds up the canyons surrounding the peak. The winds quickly spread fire uphill, through the tops of Gambel oaks. Earlier the fire had burned through the underbrush below the trees, drying them out and priming them to burn” (Darling). The new fire line these firefighters were building was causing them to walk right into these Gambel oaks. Firefighters usually have a safety zone, but these firefighters were so determined to get rid of this fire that they kept digging…

new location for cottage rental is built in the north east corner of the lake after the young Melvyn 'Mel' Lorne House (b 1938) buys the land, Oak cottage and other buildings from Blackshaw. House's cottages or “House's House" for some, becomes Rock Garden Camp. Mel is from MacTier south of the lake. The rental cottages' names are after trees: Cedar, Elm, Oak, Evergreen, Pine, Spruce and Maple. Old summer residents, such as Nelson Bushnell were a little “exercised” as the camp to its form for…

However, it is uncertain what the initial object was and we are offered two options. We are told it is what it is or it is not what it is. The issue arises that if it is what it comes to be, then no real change has taken place and therefore, change doesn’t exist. The other being that if the original object is not what it is…

chair stood it was nothing but nasty and worthless. So once the horsehair was gone, I retied the springs, padded it, covered it with muslin and then reappusltered it with a nice tapestry material. The wood had years of grime on it so I refinished the oak and it turned out really beautiful with tight grain, not like…

(Iyer, 23) Iyer goes on to affirm that these root causes for hate violence is only reinforced…

their promise by dying for each other, but they were willing to kill one another for money. It all started when they made the promise that they would kill the traitor death.

They made a plan to bring the coins back when night fell, meanwhile the youngest brother decided to go into town to get some wine, and…
