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.
(Clugston, 2010). A boy’s reflection of days and season’s gone by. This making me feels the emotion of missing my hometown and the wonderful fruit that has been grown throughout my own childhood and walking down the roads back in 1975, instead of 1995. The same state and area of that state, the same winters, the same roads of which I had walked many times with my Sister’s and other family members. Nostalgically wonderful author and narration of this poem and poet.
Richard Preston writes The Wild Trees telling the journey of Steve Sillet and a group of other amateur young adults going through these Redwood forests.

The way that these joyous and comforting descriptions are mentioned in the same writings about Auschwitz really makes these statements pop out and make the reader have a double take when thinking about these matters. As well as in All Quiet
Darwin Lush, sensual and exotic to the fifteen year old, Darwin is the main setting throughout the novel and, although Paul is not living there at the conclusion, it is where we see him for the last time. Paul returns to be with Keller when Keller dies and it is here that he reflects upon his life, his learning, his love and his music and decides that although his world was foolish and innocent he loved it “Endlessly, effortlessly.” Thus the story begins and ends in Darwin and during both his early days and his last visit, Paul finds it a lonely place but a town that he loves. Darwin is presented in a negative light in many ways: the “city of booze, blow, and blasphemy”; the town to which, “all the scum in the country has somehow risen”… “All the drifters, the misfits…The wife-bashers…” Paul’s father, John Crabbe, tells stories of his daily encounters at the hospital with inhabitants who have drifted to Darwin as a place of refuge. This inclines the responder to include Keller as one of those immigrants. There is an interesting parallel here with Keller’s journals, as if in his pursuit to collect evidence of human folly and stupidity Keller has sought to immerse himself in a setting most suited to his studies.
He strikes me as a solider himself. Maybe it was his strong physique. He approached the monument and stood there for quite a while. I will always wonder if maybe he knew someone here at this memorial. Sitting at the site on the stone made bench positioned off to the side of the memorial reminds me of sitting in the park appreciating the nice weather and not to mention there are few visitors passing by.
Logan Lorentz Brooke Anderson Writing 70a October 10th 2014 Assignment Eleven I’m from Hog Creek Oklahoma, which I believe is the most mystical place in the world. With only a population of 50 people, it is home to the Kiowa Apache. My brother said that the land in Hog Creek is sacred, and it has special healing powers. A warm day in July, in my old decrepit, little white nearly empty house near the creek I get up from my cot eagerly anticipating the excitement working out in the country brings me, and eager to discover something supernatural a little. Clothed, I started running up my driveway to the road.
It gives the scene a sense of calm and content, leaving the audience at peace and satisfied with the show's finale. There is a medium shot of Walt smiling, which then pans down to a close up of him holding the gas mask, which then pans up to show his face again. The mask has meanings for his work and way of life in the manufacturing of drugs. The fact that the mask is now off implies that Walter is happy with what he has done and shows signs of happiness. This tells the viewer that he is reflecting on the times that he has worn this mask.
They seem to like captain smith as he often will travel to their main village and remain for a week at a time always returning with large amounts of food. However, I have found the lifestyle here exhilarating in sense, never having the guarantee of the next day keeps me on edge but I like it. Never have I experienced freedom like this brother an entire land so unexplored and yet so close that as I dabble in the woods around camp one can’t help but feel small. I helped build my own house the feeling in living in something built with your own hands brother gives one a sense of self I cannot express in words. I do miss England and you and mother but I would suggest that you try to make it over her if your inclining for adventure is as strong as you suggest it is.
Although the general tone of the poem is negative at first – where the persona feels he has to “drag his body behind” (1st stanza) – as his journey progresses and as he begins to find remnants of his childhood in Darwin, it becomes one of happiness. The free-verse structure allows the composer to express his thoughts about the journey much easier as he is not restricted by the rhyme or to a certain number of syllables per line – just as the persona is not restricted to one place, he travels the world and is limitless.
