One Tree Hill

So I feel like the tree all by itself is either the last of the trees, and is considered the savior of what is left, or that the tree is basically asking for a savior, and the need of a savior is projected in its shadow by a cross. It is difficult to depict exactly what is supposed to be meant. I also feel that the shadow does a good job and bringing your eye to the little tree, positioned almost in the center of the poster. The shadow is much bigger than the tree, and I think that is to…

Growing up in the countryside of a small town in Indiana, the outdoors became my home. I could be found roaming, exploring and imaging adventure in the grassy fields, the rolling hills and bewitched woods. Starting from dawn to dusk I was outside. Summer consisted of enchanted forests, while the winters transformed into wonderlands. The outdoors was somewhat of a storybook to me. It held my imagination and dreams. To me nature has not become a symbol of my childhood, but also a place of comfort.…

The smell of pine and dirt filled my nose. The sunshine gleaming above the tree branches that seemed to touch the sky. The hot, sunny weather was shielded against by the tree tops. The chirping and singing from the birds could be heard throughout the forest. The sound of the creek rushing and running nearby as if it was full of energy. Who knew that going hiking can be fun and peaceful? Suddenly, my mind was brought back to reality when my aunt uttered, “Hold on, this doesn’t seem right!”…

This felt like a brand new day, knowing this drum was going to bring her gifts of magic. She could hardly stand the anticipation! She flew out of bed and ran to her drum, finding it just where she left it, sitting outside under her tree. She said a little prayer, thanking her drum for showing her the way home, for opening her heart, for filling her up with love and tapping into her very own heartbeat! She reached out to touch her drum, caressing the flesh. It was soft and flexible…

up the hill so they don't go through the same tragedy she went through. A group of boys wanted to test this phenomenon and they decided to go on a road trip and test it out. they came to the stop sign and to their amazement it worked and they went back up the hill. There are many legends of what people think happened and one of them was a lady and her husband were fighting and the lady knocked the mad dead and dragged him up the hill to the field, now they believe she drags cars up the hill just…

Adults aren 't the only ones who are affected by poverty. Children are affected in ways that aren 't seen by everyone. Every day a child goes to school they have to live with the fact that their family is struggling. Children are smarter than what adults think and they know when they are different than the majority of their classmates. From the clothes they wear to the food they eat, children know. Most children who have lived in poverty their whole life know no different, the ones who came from…

When thinking of a tree, it is easy to imagine a strong plant, established firmly into the soil, with a thick substantial trunk and vast outreaching branches. However, what does not typically come to mind is a scrawny seedling, with its new roots hardly ingrained into the soil. One with a toothpick of a trunk that is struggling to support itself. The fact of the matter is that every tremendous tree started as a measly sapling, but not every sapling is able to grow into a tree. The forest can be…

One fall day, on a cool, crisp morning it was quiet enough to hear an acorn fall from the trees, making a soft plunk plunk sound on a nearby leaf. My family and I journeyed out into the deep muddy woods that was sparkling from the way the sun was hitting the fresh dew. The sun was reflecting off our Ranger just right to make it look a sparkly, vibrant shade of red. We were driving on bumpy, muddy trails to check the trail cameras, which were hanging on the trees with a strap and a bright…

society has been the destruction of the environmental resources on which they depended” (Diamond 181-182). A lot of the issues we cause to our planet is the destruction we put it threw thinking things will get better on their own. Deforestation is one of the largest issues in Asia and around the world. In Southeast Asia, it’s a big issue because it is our rainforest, which should be protected against these assaults. For example, we should try and reduce the negative impacts we cause to the Earth…

I took a step. Beams of light blinded my eyes as the dense foliage above me turned into ochre as they descended from the autumnal boughs of the sycamore tree. The trees aligned themselves in front of me and began to undress themselves as their leaves pirouetted gracefully towards the ground. The gentle wind fanned my skin as it rushed to hug my legs, acting like a magnet to the hairs of my face. The dewy smell of yesterday’s rain embraced the grass; the leaves kissed the soles of my feet as a…
