Summer

Summer breaks traditionally last around twelve weeks and are the longest break of the school year. Over the long summer break, a good portion of knowledge obtained during the school year is forgotten. Summer break was once looked at as a time to expand a young person’s mind with outdoor adventures learning about nature, summer camps full of socializing, or learning skills from older adults. Summer break has become a dreary, unstimulating time of the…

and driving in the summer time? To most people it’s easier to drive during the summer than the winter. It’s safer, easier to get around, and the weather is nicer. It’s safer to drive in the summer than in the winter because of many reasons. If you look at the statistics of how many wrecks there are in the summer and in the winter, there’s less wrecks in the summer than in winter. Snow makes driving scarier than it already is because there’s more weather cautions than summer does. .The only…

Critical Analysis: Northern Summer Window The piece that I chose is Northern Summer Window, the piece is oil paint on canvas, 24 5/16 in. x 20 1/4 in. and was finished in 1936. Marsden Hartley was in American artist - born in 1877 and died in 1943 at the age of 66. Northern Summer Window is a gorgeous piece – the use of pinks, blues and reds. Through the small picture – I can see the small details in the image, texture of the curtains and flowers. While this piece is simply wonderful, the use…

I am writing to express my interest in the teaching internship for Vela Summer Scholars Program. As a first-year student interested in teaching, I joined Ed Pros at Amherst College, which is where I first heard about the Vela Scholars Program. I was drawn to Vela’s focus on exploratory learning and emphasis on strengthening connections to the community. At Amherst, from volunteering as an ESL conversation partner at the Jones Library to becoming a music tutor for the Wildwood Elementary band, I…

As a little girl, I spent a majority of my summers on the beach with my best friend, her mom, and my mom. It is my happy place, out on a towel with my toes in the sand and a book in my hands. I like to play in the sand and in the water, but not near as much as I like to lay out with something to read. My mother was the librarian at the elementary school that I went to, Mixon Elementary School, so I had a wide variety of books to choose from. She and Ms. Selina would take me and Jean Kendall to…

DId you ever wonder if they eat at home and how would they eat during breaks such as winter or spring but most importantly the summer? Well it’s a serious problem and needs to be stopped because the children need to eat. The problem is that some parents probably aren’t financially stable and some just don’t have time and are too busy trying to deal with other…

The movie, 500 Days of Summer, invites the viewer to see what is oriented toward sex and the good life. Flourishing in the movie implies there is moral acceptance for a man and a woman to be friends and explicitly be sexual. Commitment is not an important factor in the movie because there is too much work involved. More so, you can make right what you feel in the moment. This relates to some aspects of Gnosticism. Gnostic hierarchal implies bodies do not matter as much, so do what you want with…
