But there are still some problems exist in the country, one of them is about should the senate still working as a decision-making place or it should be abolished. First, let’s go over why the old people set the senate. The senate has been found since 1862-the BNA act. That’s was also the foundation of Canada.

The Senate has contributed to the society a lot, even though unnoticeably. It regularly…

    To Build a Fire story (Dog's Perspective) I was hiking with my owner in the Yukon. Personally I think it was unintelligent to be hiking in this cold weather but I was still forced to by my owner.

The first sign of trouble came when he fell into ice, I could not do anything to help him. He had to make…

    In To Build A Fire, the man’s attitude towards the land changes drastically as the situation becomes a matter of life or immediate death.

He didn’t protect his cheeks or nose, which would eventually suffer from frostbite.…

    Many consider nature the victim of mankind. Clearing rainforests, overfishing waters, and stripping the soil, people constantly exploit natural resources for personal benefit. Humanity destroys innocent nature for corrupt and selfish purposes. However, it is mistaken to only label mankind as predatory—nature preys ruthlessly upon mankind. Nature renders people powerless through natural disasters, violent weather, and extreme temperature. People are the true victims and nature the real villain.…

    The unfortunate story of this man traveling alone in the Yukon shows our undying desire to trek through ill terrain without the need for assistance. The man who went aside from the main Yukon trail obviously did not listen to the wisdom of a native Alaskan who has seen these parts of the woods for many years. The arrogance that the man displayed as he constantly mumbled to himself about his mistake progressively instills the short values that revolves around the need for wisdom when preparing…
