ALGONQUIN PARK The most beautiful place to visit during spring is Algonquin Park, Ontario. A large green meadow sincerely welcomes me as I stand in the luscious green grass I look at the gorgeous sight in front of me. The vast wilderness area provides many different kinds of wild flowers that grow in the mountains and meadows. They include elegant yellow daisies, beautiful violet tulips, and narcissus which put forward the most delicious smells. Looking at these graceful flowers that twist in the wind, nature is like a bride walking down a hallway.
The Forest By Kemper Lake The sky was open and the sun was warm. It was a time for him to restart his journey. The trickle of a stream could be herd in the distance and a light breeze was blowing on the ground, though higher up the tops of the trees revealed a different story. The grass felt soft beneath him as he lay in the meadow. As he rose he could feel the ground shifting beneath him; his feet pressing down the earth, the impression of his body still left in the grass, trampled where he lay.
These stories were similar because both of the stories started off as an innocent pleasant sunny days, “With a clamor of bell that set the swallows soaring, the festival of summer came to the city. Omelas bright towered by the sea.” (Le Guin 258). “The morning of June 27th was clear and sunny, with the fresh warmth of a full summer day” (Jackson 263). Both stories contains a gathering in the story “The ones who walked away” “Old people in long stiff robes of mauve and grey, grave master workmen, quiet, merry women carrying their babies and chatting as they walked” (Le Guin 258), as well people were dancing, music and singing. In the story “Lottery” “Men were gathered in a corner telling stories smiled rather than laughing, the women were wearing faded house dresses and sweaters” (Jackson 263).
Suddenly I was in a different world. The euphoric melodies of a nightingale filled my ears. Water seeped from the soils, forming a creek along the grass filled forest; schools of vibrant fish revealed themselves from the rocky crevices, darting about with unnatural vigour. An overwhelming feeling of joy swelled within me, the sublime beauty of this new world tapped into my soul, and the happiness I had been denied for so long came back to me. Hearing the sound of crashing waves in the distance, my childhood instincts took control of me.
"The figures of these men and women straggled past the flower-bed with a curiously irregular movement not unlike that of the white and blue butterflies who crossed the turf in zigzag flights from bed to bed,"(Woolf 28-29). From her description of the garden we can imagine it is a beautiful, sunny day in the middle of the summer. The weather is wonderfully mild. The flowers reach up toward the sun. The earth is rich and brown.
Its bright green simplicity is the basic foundation to all of nature. When the small rabbits and doe frolic through the gorgeous green locks of the plain, that itself is beauty. Even the simplest little dandelion growing from the ground surrounded by the charming grass, or the newly growing flowers bursting with colorful life is true beauty in nature. To some, these things may not strike them as ‘beautiful,’ but to me, it’s the most delightful thing on this planet. I feel that the sun takes its energy and just injects it into the grass, and from there it explodes in the form of beauty as that grass develops and matures.
The sheep let out a mass bleat and butted Jones’ men from all directions. Boxer galloped rapidly towards Mr. Jones, neighing as speed gathered. Mr. Jones turned, saw danger advancing, loaded his gun, and shot- a bullet straight to Boxer’s chest. Time slowed down. Boxer ran for a while more, lost speed, staggered, and lay sprawled upon the dusty ground.
Pearl is drawn greatly toward the scarlet object, and the sunshine nearly loses hope, although protects Pearl in the end. For instance, while Hester and Pearl are walking towards the forest, she becomes attracted toward the sun and “Pearl set forth, at a great pace, and, as Hester smiled to perceive, did actually catch the sunshine, and stood laughing in the midst of it, all brightened by its splendor, and scintillating with the vivacity excited by rapid motion” (166). Since Pearl seems to be in a trance with the scarlet letter, the sunshine takes responsibility to draw her away to go and play. Hester seems to take notice, indicating this step toward getting Pearl away proves valuable. This suggests that Hester should have considered she would damage her life and those around her before committing a sin.
I can smell the trees and the flowering shrubs as a gentle wind blows them my way. As I head outside through the basement door, I see about seven ants speeding across the sidewalk like little hot wheel race cars. When they make it to the end of the sidewalk, the ants disappear into the rather lengthy, thick, green, grass. Compared to the size of the ants, the grass looks like the Giant Sequoia trees of the Sequoia National Park. This would not be a good time to cut the grass due to the fact that it is still damp from yesterday’s heavy rain.
The stagnant air and yellow dullness in the atmosphere was the result of the manifestation of industrial work being done. Then in the next scene it show a woman walking over a grassy knoll enjoying the open and innocence of everything around her. She could feel the life around her in the majestic trees reaching for the sky to the beauty she sees in the flower bed as she kneels down into them. Just by watching her the audience is able to see that she belongs there by witnessing her level of content. The man and woman meet while she is on her walk.
