Unable to find one’s way; not knowing one’s whereabouts. It felt as if we were in the middle of a desert and there wasn’t civilization in miles. Are stomachs were growling at us, our mouths were as dry as bone. We had no idea what we had to do because Neither have us never been put in this situation before and no one has ever told me what to do if this ever happened. This is what it means to be lost and that is exactly what Sam and I were. The sun was bright as day it just was a beautiful spring…

One out of the three girls buckles their seatbelt, the other two did not even think about buckling. They pull out of the parking and start heading to Dairy Queen, the music was cranked up too loud and the sun…

I wear seven rings on my right hand. Each represents a story, something, or someone who influenced me in a way I never want to forget. These rings represent my past, but I know they will also decorate my future. Some of my most important circlets are on my index finger. That finger holds three rings total. One band has a wave pattern in the middle of it, within the waves were small onyx crystals, but those too have now faded to nothing more than a memory. Surrounding it are two plain silver…
“Mama! Mama! A rainbow! A rainbow! Can we follow it, please!” “I don’t see why… not!” said mama with a childish grin on her face as she skid the car round an intersection. “Oh oh, he’s already looking for evidence of my story,” laughed papu as he reached for the passenger assist handle, “But, Dipper, you just need to understand the full difficulty of this quest. If it was easy, everyone would do it.” “I know. I know, papu. But, this time I can feel it in my belly button.” “Dipper, I can’t…

Finally, the road flattens out and leads you into an open area amongst the trees. A long forgotten…
As seen in Figure 8 above, Eco Logical Australia recommends the placement of 20 road signs in areas deemed to be high risk. These areas were chosen by analysing the green lines which indicate a high risk road. The overall cost of a sign includes production, installation, and maintenance. This information was extremely difficult to obtain, therefore an estimate has been created. The base cost for a wildlife warning sign is $175 (Seton, 2017). It is then estimated that installation costs are $120…
Golden Hair and Yellow Parkas The Road by Cormac Mccarthy is a harrowing journey of day-to-day survival that speaks to every individual in a sense. It sculpts subconscious feelings of our insecurity of hope for the future through symbolism by color. Yellow becomes a flag, it is the signal fire for objects that correlate to hope. Use of this color conveys the ideal of optimism in the face of loss. It is the ability to continue in a world of nothing. Yellow is the first color mentioned following…
Robert Frost’s poem “The Road Not Taken” as a message to stand out from the crowd and take the roads less traveled by. However, upon further analysis of the voice and symbols, the theme is closer to that of a future reflection on a past decision that, while equal at the time of choosing, looks much different in retrospect and it is that decision that you say has made all the difference. The voice in the poem is a great indicator as to…
