I have a large empty house on top of Brickmore Hill, which I have been trying, unsuccessfully, to sell since 1995. It used to be a fraternity house for members of the Brickmore College baseball team, but on October 31, 1995, the boys at the frat had a Halloween Party that ended tragically. I prefer not to say anything about that party because the details are extremely gruesome. The sad fact of the matter is that, for 13 years, I have been unable to sell the house, and I am trying to keep it from falling into disrepair. On past Halloweens, the local kids have broken windows, and worse, so I need someone to stay there the whole night to make sure no harm comes to my building.

They used to have long car rides through the night and take picnics, but this was only because they had nowhere to stay at night or any restaurants to eat in

Kristinn D. Ruth Preparing For College Writing II 17 October 2012 Cause and Effect Why I Went Back to College College was certainly not my first career choice. With nine years of military experience under my belt, I figured that getting a decent job on the outside would be a walk in the park. Yeah right, more like a walk through a park littered with landmines and sharks with frickin laser beams attached to their heads. After being released from the military I found myself unemployed and needing a job. Sitting down and writing my resume felt almost as painful as the president writing his inaugural speech.

He wasn’t trying to get himself killed in the Alaska brush, he just wanted to live off the essentials and go back to basics. He was very intelligent which makes it hard to believe he was crazy or just dumb. He was living by the words of Emerson and Thoreau where he could be “emancipated from…a world of abstraction” (22) and live in solitude. He followed “his genius until it misled him”
