Pride & Charity in Winter’s Bone Daniel Woodrell’s Winter’s Bone tells a story about a young girl, Ree that is trying to find her lost dad to save her family and their house. She does so with great pride and courage and rejects showing weakness. I assert that not asking for help and showing pride is a positive strategy because it ensures that Ree keeps her self-respect since asking for help is a sign of weakness as pride and self-respect is very important in the Ozarks. This attitude in the…

The increased temperatures in the winter will cause the colder climates to be warmer and more suitable for living, thus deaths in the winter caused my heart failure will cease to exceed deaths in the summer due to heatwaves. The NCPA states that if you take into count all the positive and negative effects global warming has had on the climate…

For my animal performance scene I was a reindeer. The biggest strengths that I had for my scene was my movement, portrayal of eating, and display of the prey-like nature of a reindeer. During research I learned that a reindeer walks heavily but also spry. I properly conveyed this concept in my scene by leaping from leg to leg, making sure to lead with my knees when I was in the air and to place my weight on my leading foot when I landed. Since reindeer eat grass and shrubs that is often buried…

I take a step outside, and I feel a blast of chilly Fall air as it breezes leaves through the wind. I love the Fall outdoors. Once I go outside I escape everything: My older sister, my noisome and demanding dog, and my small mountain of math homework left unfinished. The smell of Autumn invades my nostrils, and it reminds of the time before pre-Algebra, when I had so much free time. Free time to be spent on complaining about how much that I needed, just needed, a new bicycle. I did eventually…

With over 3,000 active snowmobile clubs worldwide and at least 250 in Minnesota, there is the opportunity to become involved, but the…

Presently most of the Jaycees Collection is stored in cardboard boxes whereas some artifacts are not due to their size. The collection is located on the shelving in the back of the classroom. The temperature of the room where the collection is currently housed is controlled by a central thermostat of the building and is impacted by the…

Spring, the time that nature blooms and the snow melts away. The birds chirp loudly inviting the toasty sunshine into the world once more. In Sapporo, we cherish this weather the most as unlike Tokyo, we have harsh and unforgiving Winters. I don’t even remember the last time that I went to play in the snow because with that comes the responsibility of shoveling snow, cleaning up the snow on the bottom of your boots, snow snow snow I hate it. I do however like my normal life as a second-year…

change colors and eventually fall off. The temperature of the warm summer night breeze dramatically changes to a brisk chill and frosty air. As the weather gets colder, women get excited about transitioning out of their summer dresses into fall and winter blazers and scarfs. Fall fashion is fun for many women because they love the fall colors. Maroons, deep purples, royal blues, mustard yellow and navy green are some of the more popular colors in everything from sweaters to makeup. One of the…

I'm not normally a fan of the cold or winter weather. Shivering is painful; no matter how many layers I put on, frigid air has a way of seeping into my bones. One day I hope to be somewhere warm year-round, where my pale skin can get a taste of hot sunshine everyday. But if this dream ever comes true, I might just vacation in the snow. Every now and then cold can be good. The one thing that would possess me to subject myself to the bitter air is the rejuvenating activity of snowboarding.…
