KMJ March 22, 2004 EC1 Descriptive Essay “The Lake” A psychiatric joke, “go to your happy place,” and my weary mind always retreats down the same worn path that once led to the two-room cabin that my grandfather built at Wilson Lake. Hundreds of acres of old, tall trees, standing sentry and guarding the secret beauty of the deep and serene cedar water lake. Where, once the last flag had been lowered at sundown on Memorial Day, families in their station wagons would begin to bounce along the dirt roads of the old camp ground, settling in for the summer in this beautiful mossy place. The moist ground beneath the beds of fallen leaves awakens with rusty metal rakes, pulling back the heavy blankets of mother nature’s bounty. Thick black smoke from metal cans and fire pits fills the air, and yet while your nose becomes stuffy, the smell of the burning leaves is more than oddly comforting.

I was six and my other brother was just a year older with more privileges, as we walked down that old lonely gravel road with Grandma, seemed as normal to me, as eating cornflakes with milk, juice and toast for breakfast in the morning. I remember watching dust kick off my shoes as Grandma encouraged me to keep on going. The place we had to get to was just across that wooden creek bridge. My mind wandered, “I could run down this road barefoot like I always do and feel the sharp edges of the rocks hit my feet, something I knew my brother would never do,” I thought, “I better not cuz this was Grandma’s day, and I was ordered to not take my shoes off and get myself into any more trouble.” When we got to the wooden old bridge, I could hear the water, but I could only see the bank from the other side.
But after that everything becomes pretty routine until disaster strikes, which fortunately does occur quite soon! And thereafter it's a matter of problem-solving followed by one long period of suspense as Brian undertakes a perilous journey to save Derek's life. So, the best part of The River (which is a part called "The River"), even though the longest, first, part has no name; the shortest, last part is called "Measurements" is as exciting as anything in Hatchet. It's just not terribly long, whereas Hatchet was mostly one exciting disaster after another. But on the plus side, no preaching breaks up the suspense.
CHARACTER TRAIT ESSAY THE HUNGER GAMES Dealing with a traumatic experience early in life can form a person’s path for their future.

Haymitch numbs his reality of winning the Hunger Games and mentoring unsuccessful tributes year after year with the use and abuse of alcohol. He then meats the latest tribute, Katnis and Peeta, and feels hopeful that they actually have a chance.
Notably the most influential moment in Viola’s life, was at the age of ten when he almost drowned after falling into a lake. Under a state of unconsciousness, Viola recalls the moment as ‘a magical, extraordinary world of colour and emotion, with plants and fish wafting through the current’. This moment sparked the lifelong attraction to water and the meanings and emotions of life and death, which can be seen in Viola’s videos such as Five Angels for the Millennium, (2001) and The Messenger, (1997). Also drawing back onto his own experiences with life and death, the birth of his son and the death of his mother, Viola produced one of the most emotional pieces of his collection whilst filming both of these highly important times in life. The birth of a new life, and the end of a life, Viola made Heaven and Earth (1992).
