Christopher was fascinated by the stories his uncle told him about World War II which I think may have influenced him to write this book. The story that seems to have led his career is the one in which his uncle got sick in India. In 1943 his uncle got injured by a mortar-bomb splinter in his left tibia which caused a horrible leg infection.

He remained a member throughout his lifetime and served as a director, as did his wife, Virginia. His first published photographs and writings appeared in the club's 1922 Bulletin, and he had his first one man exhibition in 1928 at the club's San Francisco headquarters. It was at Half Dome in 1927 that he first found that he could make photographs that were, in his own words, "...an austere and blazing poetry of the real". Adams became an environmentalist, and his photographs are a record of what many of these national parks were like before human intervention and travel. His first series of technical articles was published in Camera Craft in 1934, and his first widely distributed book, Making a Photograph, appeared in 1935.

His visual recollections of the south drawn from real-life memories and stories are anything but usual. His painting “The Family” (1941) demonstrates Bearden’s love for the Cubist style and through this he addresses family’s complex relationships and rituals that were able to tie into my own real-life experiences. Romare Bearden demonstrates that you can take something simple and turn it into something beautiful and meaningful, and that is something he will always be remembered for. The painting, “The Family” can be easily be defined as a
He and his son are the only two tracks remaining. In conclusion, the three important people in the essay “Once More to the Lake,” by E.B. White are the author, his son, and his father. In my opinion the author represents a bond between old and new, the son represents the author as a child, and the father represents death. The experience that White has at the lake with his son is one that he will never forget.

Written in 1962, the book challenged the audience, all those in favour of using pesticides, to question their impact on nature. The first chapter, A Fable for Tomorrow, is a short narrative about a town “in the heart of America” which dies as a result of heavy pesticide use. The title of the chapter itself implies that the story is fictional but provides a moral lesson, much like a fable does. Carson begins with a lyrical description of a town where everything lives in harmony. It is a “place of beauty”, the perfect rural world and an absolute utopia where wildlife, birds and fish are abundant, where “prosperous farms” and magnificent forests thrive.
