The havoc of the disappearance of Bill and Henry’s dogs reminds me of the plot of the book And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie.

The main character made many errors and mistakes along the way that led to his death. A few of them are that: when he fell through the crust of ice, he built a fire underneath of spruce tree that’s branches held the snow that…

have something they dream of owning and in my case, it was a Honda CRX. I first saw this car when I was fourteen years old and I knew I had to have one. I had been seventeen for a little more than a month when I totaled my first car, a 2003 GMC Yukon. The day after I started looking at cars to get an idea of what I wanted, however, I did not know how much insurance money I would have to purchase another vehicle. After a week of waiting we received the total amount of money I would have to…

When a person knows who they are it can give them a sense of power and confidence. Although, sometimes the components of a person’s identity can amount to a less than desirable being. Within the narratives of Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer, “Survivor Type” by Stephen King, and “To Build A Fire” by Jack London the identities of each protagonist…

The last couple of months have been dreadful. It was filled with exhaustion, boredom, false hope, and above all, plenty of freezing. It all started when we left the steamboat that brought Martin and me all the way from Seattle to the Yukon.
