which doesn't even consist of a high school degree it doesn't really get me that far but I do have common sense which seems harder and harder to come by and a lot of hands on skills. I grew up basically in a machine shop working in engines, car, snowmobile, four wheelers, tractor, and what ever else came though which really helps me with the job I have now. I have noticed it influences not me directly but people around me for example when we are in shop class and the teacher is busy with someone…

Reading is a subject that I have struggled in since I was a kid. I have always been in lower level English and reading classes to try to catch me up, but it has never helped. If I have the option to read or not I am going to pick to not read 10 out of 10 times. The only time I will read a book or anything of length is if I have to for a class. Struggling in reading is not the only reason that makes me dislike reading. Reading as a hobby is not for me because when you read you are just sitting,…

hiking around and advocating sticky situations; that is until one day when he heard a folk-tale of a creature who haunts the very woods. Tom Walker took off into the woods, enjoying a great snowmobile ride on the ice until he came upon a blighted building in the woods. Removing a torch from his snowmobile, he began to walk into the structure. A voice, a strong, heavy set Russian accent, harked to him from the building. “Tom Walker, why are you…

some very dangerous sports that people have gotten very seriously injured and even died because of these injuries. Such an example from Golinkin’s article “On Thursday, a 25-year-old Texan called Caleb Moore died from injuries sustained when his snowmobile came crashing down in his head after one of his tricks went horribly wrong during his run in the sport,” (Golinkin 531). Golinkin use’s this to his benefit. Golinkin uses the strategy of appeasing both sides of the argument by showing the cons…

“All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost...” In this instance I was indeed very lost, mentally, spiritually, and of course physically. However, we will have to get back to that in a little while. The intoxicating rush of the machine roared beneath me. The snow blew past with such ferocity that it seemed to feel like little bees quickly stinging on the skin. My gloves seemed to freeze to…

The title of this story "Mom, do you love me?" It's culture the story explores different aspects of the "Eskimos" culture.
