In the poem, Out of the Sea, Early by May Swenson, the subject is the love of nature. The speaker tells a story about how beautiful the sun rise is by comparing it to things that have never been imagined before. The speaker however, is a more complex character with different outlooks on the ocean. The way the speaker delivers his tone is through a calm voice, representing the ocean that he or she is conversing about. Based upon the word choice, we can infer that the speaker is a sailor that…

Case conceptualization, (the following presents a hypothetical case conceptualization) Jack is a truck driver that has recently gotten out of the hospital. He was in the hospital because he found himself the victim of a mugging while he was parked at a truck stop, somewhere north of the United States border. The assailant did not come out of nowhere, rather he walked up to Jack and seemed friendly enough. The aggressor began by asking for directions. Nothing really seemed out of the ordinary for…

the family’s financial resources, sustaining a $5 billion-a-year industry.” This evidence shows how youth sports are making a strain on family’s financial resources. Finally from an assistant professor and Utah State University, “Mr. Dorsch, who is now an assistant professor at Utah State University, where his research involves parents’ engagement in their children’s sports, said that spending on sports has grown so high — up to 10.5 percent of gross income in his research — that it is hurting…

to some of the most awe-inspiring mountains, cliffs, and valleys that I have seen in my life. My research and my adventures has a broad range that has a very subtle overlap. I will do the best to my ability to show you what I learned in my time in Utah and in the library. I decided to go to the Markgragunt gravity slide. Without knowledge of the exact whereabouts of the location and limited resources I saw this as an opportunity and a challenge to investigate the location in search for…

Elizabeth Smart was kidnapped and held for nine months, and in some ways she was reborn. Elizabeth Smart was only 14 years old when she was kidnapped from her bedroom in the middle of the night on June 4, 2002. She endured all kinds of abuse and degrading acts at the hands of her kidnappers,…

The Grand Canyon Our surprise trip to Las Vegas came to an end. Everyone was very mournful. We were on our way back to Arizona. We had just crossed the state border, and then later we had seen signs that said we were close to the Grand Canyon. My parents decided that since we had never been to the Grand Canyon before, then we should go. Everyone was so enthusiastic again.

Whether it be mentally or physically prepared. Not everybody is prepared for what we have to deal with now, let alone when they’re constantly being invaded by flesh eaters. What would definitely be needed is medical care, plenty of non infected food and drinks, safe shelters, weaponry, transportation, power, service, and good leadership. It…

blurt it out. For my rivers and lakes I have the Colorado River, Humboldt River, the awesome Pyramid Lake, Lake Tahoe, and last but not least, well it probably is the least Walker lake. Its bordering states are Arizona, California, Oregon, Idaho, and Utah. Those states are important, so remember them because i might give you a pop quiz. Nevada’s major cities are Carson City, Reno, and of course Las Vegas. But i don't think Las Vegas beats the Hoover Dam. The Hoover Dam is a hydroelectric…
