This essay will examine the physical and social environments Lois was exposed to during her four years at Camp Manitou. It will then draw conclusions as to how that exposure has impacted the way in which Lois lives in her current physical and social environments. The physical setting of Camp Manitou paints a picture of a rustic, wilderness summer camp. This is shown by describing the log-sided buildings, the weathered grey dock, the rusty rings, and the cold showers. When describing her last year at Camp Manitou, there is much more of a wilderness feel and more of a focus on nature as is seen in the example of the movement of the trees, the loons calling to each other, and the glassy surface of the lake.

Robert Smithson Many artists have found inspiraton in the natural world, only a few have gazed at the earth with a desire to add to it. Among these artists is a man who has revolutionized contemporary art that would bring to question the issues of materials, permanence, function, and presentation(Robertsmithson.org.)

I have found several web sites that cover each of these programs. I never knew these programs existed.
The murder of Anne Sweeney is an essential part of this story as it gives us many clues and simple but skilful similes and metaphors which helps us to see what the writer is trying to convey and describe. An example of one is “a shower of leaves following me like confetti at a wedding”. This is very descriptive and an example of sensory imagery. “We found the rag doll shape of his unconscious wife slumped over the steering wheel” is an intriguing sentence as it is comparing Mrs Sweeney’s body to a rag-doll. It is also an example of symbolism as rag-dolls are life-less just as Mrs Sweeney is.

The LIBRARIAN: controlled and clever, she holds back. She’s prim and proper, but underneath that tight bun lurks a passionate woman. Dressed to repress, she might be the know-it-all whose hand is always up in class, or maybe she is the shy mouse hiding in the library. Think Kathleen Turner in Romancing the Stone, Ellen Barkin in The Big Easy, Shelley Long in Cheers, Gillian Anderson in The X-Files.
