he compares nature to the art of painting. While reading you can feel the beauty of nature through the incredible voice of Leopold’s writing. An example of this being, “The artist has now laid his colors, sprayed them with dew. The Eleocharis sod, greener than ever is now spangled with blue mimulus, pink dragon-head, and the milk-white blooms of Sagittaria (52).” This is just a small taste of the descriptive poetic style Leopold uses. Through this, a reader can feel absorbed in the beauty of…

Which Is Better? As a child, have you ever wondered what it would be like to come of age? A large amount of children dream for the day of independence. In fact, some youth actually long for the day they can arise and behave exactly as they please.

Like many kids, I personally wanted to grow up so fast that I did not embrace the era I spent as a…

Because of my love for the state of Idaho, my personal values, and my desire to obtain an education without going into debt, I will be attending Brigham Young University- Idaho in the fall. This institution is situated in a beautiful place in Idaho; central to skiing, climbing, and hiking which is the best, most hands-on way to experience the state. When I envision my life, I see it being rooted in Idaho. Though I may live somewhere else for a few years or travel, I cannot imagine what life…

A nurse has to have critical thinking when it comes to solving problems to be successful. I analyze a lot of issues and will try to fix issues if I can but I…

I ambled around my family's spacious property, the same property I had traipsed around almost every day in my life. I had walked this property feeling elated, dejected, and even puzzled, but today I was feeling as aggravated as I feel when a teacher gives out homework on a sunny day. I would have much rather been inside my comforting house, eating a delectable dinner, as delicious to me as any five star restaurant, with my family, than looking for my annoying brother. Through our dense treeline…

would cause me to become languid and at peace. I would enjoy watching the extensive, country roads outside of the backseat window like a little girl. I expect a deer, for some reason, to hop out from the tremendous, towering trees that were greener than the grass it occupied. In addition, I enjoyed watching all of the other vehicles pass us by as if we were flying in a jet on a mucky, bright, clear day.

Fitzgerald was facing in his own life. While the novel may just seem as a story about tragic love it is much deeper, it exposes the corrupted and destructive American Dream and it shows that money truly cannot buy happiness. It shows that the grass always seems greener on the other side. Every character had their own fantasy that they were chasing and it led each one down a destructive path. In the Great Gatsby money and desire of the unachievable ruined numerous lives and showed that money was…
