The day started by having to get up at two o’clock in the morning followed by a long car ride and normally when I am in a car I can fall asleep, but this morning I was too excited to do that. Then we had a long cold boat ride that took us to the hunting spot. I was hunting in a blind on Flat Lake. My Dad had won the blind in a raffle held every three years at Jerseyville. The blind was on 1 of 4 lakes in the area, roughly five miles from the Illinois River, and about 20 miles north of Grafton, Illinois.
Operation Arrowhead Ripper I was in my hooch listening to my IPod when my squad leader Sgt. Larson threw open the door; “Grab your gear we have a mission he yelled”. When the platoon arrived in the motor-pool we received our mission brief and loaded up in our Stryker’s; and headed for the front gate. The calm Iraq morning was soon interrupted with the sound of machine guns being locked and loaded and the war cries of a battalion of infantry men readying themselves for battle. We rolled out the east gate onto route Tampa and headed north for the city of Tal afar, our vehicle “Mohawk 1” was leading the convoy to the target.
The things that he was forced to do would have brought many grown men around the world to their knees, but instead, he kept on going. Beyond pain and suffering, he trudged on. A dream he had after their first experience in combat led to his not sleeping for an entire week. “I had a dream that I was picking up Josiah from the tree stump and a gunman stood on top of me. He placed his gun on my forehead.

Smoke Signals The film opened with such tragedy as Thomas’ mother and father died due to a fire in their home. Thomas was always telling stories and joking while Victor was more quite and assertive . Both boys faced difficulties during their youth and never really got along until they embarked on a journey to collect Arnold's remains. I thought the entire trip was very noble and inspiring. Both boys learned a lot about themselves and each other.
Suddenly I heard guns being fired and bombs erupting, we were under heavy artillery fire. Sargent Warren yelled out, "We are under attack by their patrol group!" The two days of training definitely did not suffice what was happening before my eyes; I was so scared and confused. I jumped into the shell-hole closest to me to escape the flying bullets. I could hear guns from both sides rapidly being fired off.
Hunting is a sport, it challenges your brain and helps you vision when looking for movement. Hunting is a fun and enjoy the sport, it allows you to watch how wildlife works in mother nature. Most people hunt for the fun, to wake up early drink some coffee and go to your stand and look at God's’ beautiful earth. I have a lot of memories hunting and i've learned a lot of how to hunt and what to use from mistakes in the past. My most favorite memory was when it was a runt season in the middle of November, and a little buck ran into my stand chasing a doe.
It was hard, I was always impatient, but the hunt really made me realize that the best goes to the ones who wait for it. K: So you finally caught a rabbit? Z: After those two days of sitting in the snow. It was cold; I had a fire every night. I would take branches off dead trees, and that would last me the night.
As we settled in, I managed to grab the good hammock spot, one string on the massive white pine and the other on the same old tree covered in holes from the woodpeckers in search of their next meal. The campsite had not changed a bit, and by the looks, it did not plan on it anytime soon. As stomachs began to rumble we started to rig rods and reels for the evening dinner. As I cut the line from the first eye the excitement inside me reached the maximum capacity, so immense that my sense of concentration halted. As I examined my rod I noticed the Scheels Tournament Series was in peak condition ready for a fight.
I believe that is why the story is called “The Story of an Hour” the story is telling us, what had happened during the hour and what happen happened after the hour she finds out that he was a alive. She had her freedom, but soon after her freedom was taken away and she had died. The suspense of “After Twenty Years” was that it was a dark night and you couldn't see a thing. The story was about two men that are meeting again after twenty years of not seeing each other at all. The thing is that the Jimmy is the guy that Bob was talking about and that he had sent someone else to go arrest him, because Jimmy didn't want to arrest his friend.
