I spent many hours practicing shooting at a deer dummy and a fusion block to prepare for bow hunting. This hunting experience happened three years ago. I was hunting on our hunting lease called the Gibson place. At the edge of the forest is a favorite huge oak tree that I love to hunt out of. My brother, Brandon, and I had planted some corn near the edge of the forest so that the deer would have plenty to eat close to my hunting spot.
Wiry grasses and wild flowers stripe the rocky ledges of the alpine capped with a white covering of snow. Wilderness coastlines are scattered with driftwood as the tide rises and falls with the sun. Ancient forests soak in the rainfall and offer a lush carpet of moss and lacy ferns under a ceiling of spruce, cedar, fir, and hemlock. Adventure, solitude, peace, and beauty are just a few of the offerings that attract over four million visitors annually. The matchless trio of ecosystems provides endless opportunity for activities for every family and level of fitness, from whale watching to winter snowboarding.
I'm a half brother and I'm full Navajo. The Nez Perces were able to aquire hunting tags for a Bison hunt near west Yellowstone in Gardiner Mt. We have always been told stories of how our predecessors used the buffalo. Our religion and prayers songs are all passed down from the buffalo culture so it was especially significant for us to be apart of this. My wife is Blackfeet from the plains and it was a special treat to sit down to a fresh buffalo tongue and roasted meat feast with our children.
But other than that I have really loved this book mainly because of the mystery behind the story. I couldn’t let the book down since I started reading it. It puts you at the edge of your seat which made me love it so much. I would rate this book a 10 out of 10. I also liked one quote from this novel “That’s what being crazy was, wasn’t it?
The author’s vocabulary and diction was another thing I really liked. He used advanced vocabulary frequently, yet it was still easy to understand. The way he put the words together made it flow extremely well. The setting that John Knowles set was really good. It was easy to tell where and when the book was, from the start.

I love well written books that I can visualize with as I am reading. I love an author that can use words and phrases to keep me guessing throughout the book, it gives me the urge to want to know what is going to happen next. I want to keep reading to get to the end to fully understand what the author’s purpose is. I love a story that is very detailed because it gives me the chance to place myself in the story and really get into it.
This book was one of my personal favorites because me and the main character, Anne, had a lot in common. Not only that, but everything you explained in this book, you explained with great detail, and it created imagery in my head. I had a good picture of everything that you talked about. For just about the whole story, I felt like Anne, and I felt like I was telling the story. You are a pretty good author.
After this, the attitude he had was changed, and he wanted to pay his family back with good grades. As the research shown, “Family environment also protects a child from depression and other psychiatric problems. Their responses are positive and behavior is normal and cooperative”(Effect of Family). His responses to his family are positive after he came out from the depression that was brought to him by school. Chen Da wouldn’t be able to achieve anything if his family just give up on him, and think he will be a farmer for rest of his life.
This quote shows nurture because victor through the choices he made and people he chooses to be around makes it so that he is not alone. Another idea of nurture is, ” On the birth of a second son, my junior by seven years, my parents gave up entirely there wandering life, and fixed themselves in their native country”, (Shelley 18). Victor’s parents’ nature is to live in their natural homeland, but through experience and watching others they possessed a house in Geneva. The next example of nurture is, “What chiefly struck me was the gentle manners of these people; and I longed to join them, but dared not”, (Shelly 77). The venerably gentle manners of the people were not obtained through just being born with it.
In that small town they molded Michael into the person he is today and if it was not for that move way back when he was a kid, he would probably not be where he is at today. To this day, Michael still thanks his mom for moving them out of New York and to North Carolina because he sees that moving their family had the biggest impact on their lives growing
