In the article "A place to Encounter Natural and Social Diversity," from Childhood in the Garden written by John Nimmo and Beth Hallett, took me in the world of gardening. "The garden is a familiar place tamed by humans to serve social purpose such as growing food," (Nimmo, & Hallett. 2008 pg32) with that concept in mind the "Growing a Green Generation" project began.

While visiting a place like botanical gardens, one mostly is conscious of the natural processes of plants and wildlife, it is almost as one is…

My overall experience as a dramaturge for Fiddler on the Roof was wonderful. Doing tremendous amounts of research at the beginning was pretty difficult, because as a Hendrix student, I was required to finish all of the research during the week of my final exams.

Rumors spread like nasty parasites feeding on unreliable information. The pests transfer the gossip at the speed of light, making it difficult to control. When Tito came to our school, the rumors engulfed Chesterhill High like a suffocating blanket. The halls chaotic clamor was replaced with the sinister whispers of gossip-feeding teenagers. The first day Tito arrived, I immediately decided to stay out of his way. He was a target, and I was certainly not going to intervene with whatever was…

construction of roofs plays a significant role in our lives because they provide a shelter from the forces of Mother Nature. Green roofs, a form of green technology is one way of providing shelter while also focusing on being environmentally friendly. Green roofs are partially or completely covered by vegetation with a growing medium on top of a waterproofing membrane. Like modern roofs, green roofs provide insulation for aspects such as heat conservation and sound insulation. Green roofs can…

A young girl and boy greet summer visitors under an umbrella at one of Sauk Centre’s greatest assets along the river. Although they have been holding this umbrella for over 100 years, they have not aged a bit but have, in fact, grown to become a symbol for the town’s beautiful Sinclair Lewis Park. The two are part of a fountain piece in one section of the park which also includes a playground, picnic area, fishing pier and campground. While towns near Sauk Centre have some sort of green space,…

Although almost everyone in Anatevka believed girls should stay home to do the cooking and…
