The Cornfield

its hoof beats were heavy and it was alone. That always peaks my interest when I am hunting a known big buck area so we will see tomorrow. My wife came down and we spent our 10 year anniversary together here in camp today and I cooked Pigs In The Cornfield in the Dutch oven for dinner and served it up on my anniversary gift, a set of awesome deer print dishes. I have to say I have the best wife on the planet and do not take her for granted. The weather has been warm until today and tomorrow is…

Jake Rompala Blue “Food, Inc.”, published in 2008 by Director Robert Kenner, was made to show us how our food is processed, sold, and processed again. First, it visits Tyson and Perdue chicken growers. Inside the chicken houses is a cramped space so tight the chickens can’t move around, and, even if the chickens could move around, they are so fat they would fall down after a few steps. Then, it showed the Smithfield Hog Processing Plant, and inside it millions of hogs had been…

In recent years, consumers seem to possess a more conscious tone about the quality of their food. Most however, understand an insufficient amount about GMOs along with the risks they impose.

Moreover, genetically modified crops have demonstrated themselves as a damaging…

the ground, is done in a way that they are able to hear every ear of corn, appreciating their existence and learning their language(48). This contrasts to the humans who are picking at the corn, as all they hear is the wind whistling through the cornfield, although, to Hogan, it sounds as if the ears of corn are whispering amongst each…

I have always been interested in other cultures, despite growing up in a small midwestern town. As a young child, I was fascinated with flags and maps of countries and dreamed of traveling to other parts of the world. Although my parents were not wealthy we had done a fair bit of traveling within the United States. My first recollection of people outside the United States were refugees sponsored by the church my parents belonged to. The refugees were from the country of Laos escaping the…

I remember my father always telling me not to wander off when I was little, it's because I would walk around the farm my Papa had without anyone’s knowledge. I would go into the cornfields and get lost, go see the cats or cows. However, going up into a loft so to say, is the barn was always my favorite. I would hide out for what seemed like hours to a four year old, but was really 30 minutes at most. I would sit up there and watch the cows, pigs, cats and chickens through the windows. I would…

My middle school experience has been a collection of various events. During my years as a junior high student, I’ve attended three different schools. Each year, I’ve met new students and teachers, and I’ve had different surroundings. In sixth grade, I attended a school in Georgia. The elementary school and middle school were in the same building, so I was with the friends I had known for years. I was so excited about growing up and getting lockers, but I later found out that I wouldn’t be too…

The terrain in this area consisted of grassy rolling hills with open plains and some wooded areas. During these three days the temperature ranged from a humid 69 to 76 degrees Fahrenheit. Two main…

The phenomenal writing of Shirley Jackson’s short story “The Lottery” is a labyrinth of suspense. The importance of the suspense keeps up sentence after sentence throughout the story. The first piece of evidence of suspense is in the title “The Lottery”, as it deceives the reader to believe this is going to be a happy story about winning a prize. Mrs. Jackson, adds to this belief as she describes how long the lottery will take, “in this village, where there were only about three hundred people,…
