We had used 250 heavy guns and 2500 shells aiming at the enemy positions. As part of our plan, we placed microphones through no-man’s land to hear sound waves from the guns. We became lucky as a snow storm began to blow in the faces of the Germans. All our Canadian troops felt a sense of pride and accomplishment as we won the battle of Vimy Ridge. However it causes me great sorrow that we have lost 3500 of our own men.
The Ox-Bow Incident I chose to interview Gil Carter; he is one of the main characters in the book who plays a big role in the story. How did it feel to finally arrive in Bridger’s Wells? It was a big relief to finally make it to Bridger’s Wells. I was extremely excited to be able to see the town. We had been facing a lot of winter weather for the past few months, and we were ready to make it back to civilization.
These northwest winds generated an awesome lake effect set up. The majority of the time during winter the roads are clear and the main issue you deal with is the cold. When roads aren clear enough that you feel safe, you commute to work a different way.

By comparing the month to a spring storm he creates a strong image in our minds. An example of a metaphor on p.6: “The sunlight is rich here”. This short metaphor that Winton uses gives the reader an idea of the way the sunlight looked by using the word rich to describe the image of the sunlight. An example of imagery on p.2 is: “there we are, Biggie and me, heading to work every morning in a freezing wind in the January of our new lives, still in jeans and boots and flannel shirts, with beanies on our heads and the horizon around our ears”. As we read this we as readers are able to place the image in our heads of how the narrator and Biggie looked like.
The Village of North Conway “The wilderness is near as well as dear to every man. Even the oldest villages are indebted to the border of wild wood which surrounds them, more than to the gardens of men” said by the famous Henry David Thoreau in 1906 describing the bungalows and villages along the way up the Merrimack River. I find his writing interesting and true, and his quote of course captures what I believe to be nature and the wild nestled in a town by the name of North Conway, a heavenly and popular town, known for its outdoor festivities and outlets in the beautiful Carroll County in the mountainous Washington national forest. The town is always alive and full of energy, from the cold frozen over winter months to the sometimes sweltering heat of the summer time, there is always something going on. Then again North Conway is the largish village in the town of Conway, which is nestled in the glorious basin of MT Washington to the west and Merriman forest towards
This past weekend I was able to take a trip out to Charlottesville Va to see the Monticello which is the home of Thomas Jefferson. I had a wonderful time there and I loved all of the views that you get of the great mountain sides inside the house. I took a trip out there to see my old high school football team play in the State Championship game. It’s a little expensive to see the house, it cost us 17 dollars a piece to get a tour of the beautiful place, and it was well worth every penny. The whole place is great from the welcome center, Shops and the Monticello it’s self.
Sean Marcisin July 13th, 2009 NJ Geographical Influence on the Battle of Trenton George Washington's troops position; along with New Jerseys landscape were a huge influence in the outcome of the Battle at Trenton. The Delaware river and local weather conditions were the main driving forces that aloud for such an unexpected attack on the Hessians. The fact that is was also Christmas may also have been a factor but to what extent is unknown. Officer John Greenwood stated "I am certain not a drop of liquor was drunk during the whole night, nor, as I could see, even a piece of bread eaten." (Fischer p.426) General Washington planned a brilliant attack and this huge victory was a large turning point in the war.
Art History 3600 Karen Senne July 13, 2013 A very interesting Wednesday It was the beginning of September, when I had a very unexpected and interesting Wednesday, let’s say one that will be in my memory forever. That Wednesday morning was just another normal morning; I had breakfast and got ready for classes. That morning was a very sunny morning and I was very excited. On Wednesdays I only had class till 4pm, Thus I could go outside and enjoy the rest of that beautiful sunny day. One of my favorite outside activities is hiking, mainly here in the west there are so many amazing places to explore and appreciate the amazing nature.
Alyssa Bergdoll Dr. Dave McCarter History 201-005 April 9, 2013 The Battle of Trenton I’ve always enjoyed the painting of George Washington crossing the Delaware. The depiction of our first Commander and Chief, leading his army across the water on Christmas Eve to ambush the enemies that lay in camp, is one of the greatest representations of military leadership in our nation’s history. It has been an inspiring piece of art, but not very many people understand the full story of what actually occurred on that dreadful night. It is my goal by the end of this paper to make a clear understanding of The Battle of Trenton and why it was successful. The painting itself has a lot of history and was completed in 1851 by a German-American artist
After noticing the White House reporters huddled outside in the rain one day, he gave them their own room inside, effectively inventing the presidential press briefing. The grateful press, with unprecedented access to the White House, rewarded Roosevelt with ample coverage. He chose not to run for another term in 1908, and supported William Taft for the presidency, instead of Fairbanks. Fairbanks withdrew from the race, and would later support Taft for re-election against Roosevelt in the 1912
