Brian noticed that “there were tall pines, the kind with no limbs until very close to the top, with a gentle breeze sighing in them, but not too much low brush” and two hundred yards up there seemed to be a belt of thick, lower brush starting—about ten or twelve feet high—and that formed a wall he could not see through. It seemed to go on around the lake, thick and lushly green.” Other than studying the place they were going to travel they also had concerns, worry, and fear during their conflict with nature. In the beginning of Clay’s journey when “he sat down and looked at the treacherous snow-covered slope” he thought to himself that “It was manifestly impossible for him to make it with a whole body, and he did not wish to arrive at the bottom shattered like the pine tree.” Brian’s worries during his journey were that “He didn't want to be anywhere in the woods when it came to be dark. And he didn't want to get lost.” The differences between the stories are how the characters react with nature which depends on the character’s personality and background and the historical period in which the conflict takes place. Clay lives in the 1800s and Brian lives in the twentieth century.
A range of mountains separates the two countries. The Dominican Republic being on the windward side of these mountains gets most of the rain that is brought by the Northeast Trade Winds. Haiti being on the Leeward side of the mountains, gets no rain on its side from the trade winds and the land is semiarid where the winds blow across it. The terrain on this side of the mountains is also mostly rugged and mountainous. In some areas, Haitians raise crops on slopes so steep that they have to have to anchor themselves with rope to keep from sliding down the hillside (The World Book Encyclopedia,
However, cities are very different from one state to another state or from one country to another country. That is the case of Portland and Tegucigalpa, Honduras; two places that even though they have been recognized as cities, they are quite different. Portland is one of the
Noah Carpenter & Scott Burma Ms. Smith English III AP – 1st 22 April 2015 The Horizontal World The interior of the United States has long been considered generic. The land is flat, the roads are straight, and trees are rare. This lack of diversity creates an undeniable sense of isolation. Debra Marquart’s 2006 memoir on the area, The Horizontal World, draws upon this perception of the region. Marquart discusses the characteristics of the upper Midwest in order to illustrate it as a sterile region.
However the City Council must accept the validity of arguments around promoting and enhancing the life of our city. CURRENT SITUATION The current situation is unsatisfactory from a number of perspectives. No sporting field and rugby or rugby events are available to members of our community. Newburgh seems to lack considerably by not having this kind of sporting facility. Currently this means that sporting fans are obliged to take a trip to larger towns like Oldburgh if they wish to go to a rugby match or attend an athletics fixture.
ENC 1102 Professor V Minchener Student Jose Jose Guillermo Macias Date 2/7/2012 The Use of Force Based on the details revealed by the writer throughout the story, a reader could picture a home that was surrounded of cold weather where not too many good events were occurring. It is not difficult to determine that the environment at the time that the doctor arrived was negative. The weather was definitely extreme, the communication among the individuals that interacted during the story was rough, and the approach of the doctor to comments and behaviors of the Olson family was not the best. One of the first impression gather from any reader is the cold weather. At the time that the mother welcomed the doctor, the first thing she mentioned was the location where they were holding their child.
I saw a lot of Wood Buffalo, Wood Bison, and Sandhill crane and to our surprise we saw bears. We had a beautiful view of some of the lakes in the southern Yukon but I noticed there was not much activity crop wise. There wasn’t much faming or gardening for natural fruits and vegetables in a large mass in this area due to the amount of sedimentary rock in that dominates the area and the cold
The weather in the US had 4 separate seasons. We only had 2 in Vietnam. The first time I felt the cold weather of winter, but I could not see and touch snow because it did not have snow in Florida. It was super hot in summer, but it felt more comfortable than the hot in Vietnam. Also, here is very clean, and I did not see many trashes like in Vietnam.
I believe that the top three environmental issues are; air pollution, lack of green space, and lack of public transportation systems. Nowadays, I see less green space around the houses and in the neighborhood and one of the reasons could be because of compact houses and less out door space. Air pollution is a huge environmental issue because it can lead to poor health. Pollution also affects the environment and looking at the research I realized the forests, US National Wildlife Refuse, and environmental recreation areas are far from the cities and it could be because of the pollution. One of the biggest reasons for pollution is lack of public transportation.
Unlike city living is somewhat the same in some parts of the country but for most are nothing like where I live. When I go out to have a nice night out I don’t dress in high heel shoes and a mini dress. I dress nice but in a warm confortable way. It’s obviously weird how environment affects me and how I show myself as a person. People would defiantly call me country.
