Imagine a journey that could take you around an entire continent, into uncharted waters that have never before been explored by any other European explorers, facing dangers and establishing ports that would change the trading future of Europe. My report is about the life and expedition of Bartolomeu Diaz, one of the most important people during the Age of Exploration, and the leader of the expedition that would round the southern tip of Africa, opening up trade to India and Asia, and cutting out…

As I quickly scrambled over the massive boulders, halfway to the summit, like a big horn sheep running up a rocky mountainside, I wondered if I would be physically and emotionally capable of making it to the top. During the summer of 2013 I was faced with a huge obstacle that will forever impact my life. Being diagnosed with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (P.O.T.S) was not my cup of tea. That year was very traumatic. I remember lying in my bed every day for months and months. My cold…

She seems like she has a lot of questions to why things happened and why things are the way they are. The loss of her son, Randy, is one of the main things I think caused her confusion. Whenever mothers have a miscarriage or the baby dies after birth, it is recommended that the mothers seek therapy. The mothers…

The speaker in the poem Thunder, by Joanna Baillie, takes the reader on a journey from the beginning of a thunder storm to the end results of the thunder storm. The speaker starts by describing the impending storm that is coming but is still a little ways off.

In the next section the…

MATEGUAS, A MATEGUAS ISLAND NOVEL What could be more idyllic than to live on an island off the coast of Maine? That's what Bill Andersen thought when he moved his family to Mateguas. But Mateguas is more than just pristine beaches nestled between rocky shores. No, Mateguas is something quite different as the Andersens will soon find out. An arcane locked box, a strange and foreboding trail leading deep into the woods, a seductive young woman, and tales of malevolent Native American spirits are…

Compared to the last few years, 2015 provided a slew of eye-popping, entertaining movies. Obviously, Star Wars has completely overshadowed anything and everything else that’s out there at the moment – but from the big budget summer spectaculars to the lesser-appreciated indie flicks, there was a lot to love throughout the year. And, a lot to hate, as well… First things first, plenty of hard-hitting records were set – possibly none more impressive than the those established by Jurassic World.…

Sacagawea was the most influential person on the expedition. She contributed much to the expedition even though the pressure and complications she had. Sacagawea was even said to do more for the expedition than her husband. “If it weren’t for Sacagawea, I’m sure the captains would have sent Charbonneau back to the Mandan Village… .” (Smith 104) Sacagawea was a young Shoshone Indian girl who was captured from her village by the Mandan/Hidatsa indians when she was twelve years old.
