It was old and rustic, completely different from the other cheery and bright cottages in the tiny town of Wicksdale. It’s paint peeled off the walls a little bit more every day. It creaked and groaned with the gusting winds that accompanied the hill it sat on. Nobody ever approached the Johnson barn. Everyone…

forested alpine area. The various conifers began to disappear as my Dad and I rode around a turn. For what seemed like an eternity, we rode our bikes until we overlooked a steep hill of a considerable size. Also, there were triangle-shaped warning signs that displayed “STEEP PATH AHEAD”. At the bottom of the hill (about 500 feet below us),…

been a highly controversial topic throughout history, and at this point, no one fully comprehends why we dream (Hill, 1996). Philosophical explanations for dreams are dominated by Socrates and Plato, both of whom also believed in the psychological function of dreams. Plato thought that when our reasoning capacity was suspended during sleep, passions and desires revealed themselves (Hill, 1996).

I shall always remember my first year working at Turkey Hill Ranch. I have always possessed an enduring fondness of the lovely church camp over all the years I’ve spent there as a camper, but I never imagined that its unique nature and pleasant atmosphere would impart such invaluable wisdom. This quiet and seemingly insignificant breadth of woods and field, tucked away amongst the encompassing depths of central Missouri, gave me an abundance of clarity on the exceeding importance of humility,…

status because the imbalance of power is too great to defend the little that one may have. When you own a home, such as those who live in The Hill, you find the willpower to try to fight for the few things you can call your own. Neighborhoods like The Hill have undergone several struggles and tribulations; one can imagine that with the level of high crime rate and urban issues, people have done or seen things that have made the neighborhood a significant bearing. Urban neighborhoods consider not…

the money before anyone notices. But does that make his theft right? Members of church think that Mr. Wall has always had an obvious gambling problem, advising him to get assistance. The church has not released the amount of money that was raised but have stated that Mr. Wall has taken half of the money. Kirk Crick, another committee member of the church, stated that Mr. Wall should be prosecuted even though he had planned to return the…

Hill concludes his article by talking about how much happier he was after deciding to leave behind his material wealth and instead travel the world with someone that he loved. He is still a serial entrepreneur, and his relationship eventually ended, but Hill feels that living within his means and having a small carbon footprint bring him happiness that money can’t buy (213). IV. Pattern of Organization: Exemplification: This, using examples to prove a point, appears to be the main style of…

“Hills Like White Elephants” In Ernest Hemingway’s “Hills Like White Elephants” one might ask what kind of relationship is there between Jig and The American? I believe that their relationship is in trouble. The emotional discord between Jig and The American is tearing them apart. They each seem to desire something that conflicts with the others wishes, which weakens their relationship. Jig does not want the abortion, as it is implied, but it seems as though The American would like for her to…

In the eyes of everyone, kids are imaginative, funny, cute and much more. Their not supposed to be crying themselves to sleep, lock themselves in a dark room or have suicidal thoughts, but they do. Depression is the number one killer of kids from ages 12-39 and no one knows it. It’s creepy around in the shadows right under our noses. I was one of the survivors of depression. When I was nine I started to have small thoughts about what the world would be like if I was dead or if I never existed…
