(My POV) I gripped Winter Stream's saddle tightly. She looked down at the Swirling waves below. She knew that if she fell, it would be the death of her. She shook the thought away and looked ahead. Fog was swirling just beyond a sea stack close by, blocking her view of the islands that were nearby. The expedition was about to start and everyone was anxious. I looked over to Flower and she signaled and to begin the expedition. Everyone took off in the direction of the sea stack ahead. I followed…

Morse Code There are many different ways to communicate. Hundreds of years ago, if you wanted to communicate long distance, a message would be written and delivered by a carrier. It wasn’t until a tragedy entered a great painters life that he turned from painting to becoming a great inventor. Samuel L. Morse was a painter and inventor who is is best remembered today for his invention of a single wire telegraph system and co-inventor of the Morse Code. He entered a formal school at the age of…

lines and sometimes even the whole text. Robert Frost uses such literary devices in his poems.

We filed onto the risers, our stage, and my choir director started talking to the choir, and then the other soloist in the choir and I sang for the night. As I and the other soloist made sure to frantically flip through the solos to attempt to make sure we remembered the lines, the red looming curtains opened. The distant stage lights were shining down upon me and the rest of my group of singers with hundreds of judging eyes of parents, friends, teachers, and other important people. The pressure…

Sir Robert Peel was the person who recommended that agencies should follow the military model but had also set forth nine principles on which the police force would be based on.These principles serve as a friendship or a contract that binds the community and the police together so they can both be on the same page. These principles to this day are being followed. Some more than others but there is still some form of involvement or a hint of each principle being followed by our police. One of…

Robert frost and Edwin Arlington Robinson were two of the greatest american poets ever. Both of these poets were not able to make money instantly by doing what they loved though.

Frost attempted to live off the land and farm but that did not work out too well and he moved to England “ The couple moved to England in 1992, after they tried and failed at farming in New Hampshire” (Robert Frost bio). In England Frost met Ezra Pound…

Robert Frost’s “Design” Robert Frost has always been one of my favorite poets. The excellent poem “Design” written by this great scientist poet has many examples of figurative language, like similes and imagery. Also, the theme of this poem is very inspiring and meaningful.
