A Long Walk Research Paper

Mom gave me a book right before we boarded the plane. It contained information about Black Canyon of the Gunnison and its history. I hate to say it, but it was actually pretty

My trip to the Grand Canyon was the best experience I ever had so far in my life. My grandparents from Korea came along with us. Even though I saw them last year it was still an enjoyable moment that I had. Grand Canyon is located in Arizona so what our family did was fly to Las Vegas early in the morning and arrive in Nevada around 9 o’clock am. Driving to Grand Canyon was also five hours with heavy traffic. Driving and stopping every hour was hard to do but at the end it was all worth it. It was good that I had couple electronic devices and my family to keep me in company.

A Long Walk to Water is a novel by Linda Sue Park. This novel is about Salva, an eleven-year -old Sudanese boy who grows up in South Sudan. Later in the novel, he has faced challenges one wouldn’t dream of facing, through a long period of time. He has learned, if one helps other people, those people will then help more people, which will result in more happiness in the world. He is a round character, who changes throughout the novel. Salva is a different person at the end of the book. He has gone from hearing his death journey to fighting for survival to helping transform people’s lives forever.

During this time my brother and I were taught how to fish for Sharks and Alligator Gars. We were also taught to hunt for deer and pigs. I learned to ride horses and I was always amazed at how they were handled. I grew up as country girl, and a part of me will always be that girl because I was fearless when my father was beside me. I knew I had to be tough around him. I always knew that when my dad was taking us somewhere I had to wear jeans and a pair of boots because anything could happen on an adventure. My grandparents’ house was great too, we went on tractor rides and hayrides, we climbed trees and skinned our knees. Their house was so close to ours that sometimes my mom would take my brother and sister to their house in our

It has also brought me closer together with my family and friends through support, kindness, and conversation. Being in the outdoors and participating in hiking has also molded my character. It has taught me to be focused, driven, and dedicated; not just during a hike, but during anytime in life that I may be pursuing a dream or goal. I feel very blessed to have grown up in a family who has created many pleasant memories in the wilderness. Hiking is a lifestyle for me now and it’s taught me so many important life lessons without me even noticing. I’m glad I’ve had so many wonderful experiences in nature and I know that I will continue this tradition with my father for many years to come, because there’s still many more miles to go and more adventures to chase

Ruth raised her children as Jewish parents would’ve, even if she wasn’t aware of it. Like other Jewish families, she raised her children to be scholastic standouts. They were kept out of the public school system and kept in certain communities. Ruth was particular about the teachers who taught and disciplined them. She wanted he children to receive the best education.

I’ve been reading ‘ A Long Walk To Water’ recently and i have realized that salva and Nya have shaped different identities. Salva has an identity as a lost child or a brave child. while nya is known was a good child or a listener. How do you think that you’ve shaped your identity?

It was about a 500-mile trek across the northern part of the state of Nevada from my house to where we were going to set up camp for the hunt. We had planned for two solid days of scouting the vast Jarbidge wilderness for elk. We had no guide so between me, my dad, and my uncle, lots of work was about to be done in the weekend.

The Long Walk was the forced removal of the Navajo people, which began in January 1864 in the Arizona and New Mexico states. It was hardly recognized by Americans at the time because of the Civil War and the slavery issues that were so much more important in the North and South part of the country. The Long Walk is the Navajo Nation’s own “Trail of Tears”. More than 8,500 Navajo men, women, and children were forced to relocate to an internment camp in New Mexico called the Bosque Redondo Reservation. The Navajo and some Apache were gathered from Arizona and New Mexico and had to walk between 375-498 miles depending on which route they took (Remley, pg 230).

Then we took a walk through Sievers, which is the woods on one side of camp. In the woods we looked for the lost cabin and were told the story about what the Indians did to the kids in the lost cabin. After that we went to supper, had cabin time, and got to know eachother better. Then we had campfire and my first ever serious Devos, which was amazing. The second day I wanted to wake up early to go do early morning clubs, but I was so tired that I fell back asleep. I was woken up again for breakfast later and went on to the rest of the day. The first full day of camp I swam during the entire freetime.

In July of 2011, I traveled to Estes Park, Colorado with my family. We spent most of our time in the Rocky Mountain National Park and hiked 1,000 miles.

One early morning me and my family went to mexico.WE were on the road for two days.Once we were at my grandma's house me and my brother went to look at my aunt and uncle's horses.In mexico it was a lot of fun reiding horses and watching my unkles rope.One other fun thing to do was driving motorcicle and playing with the dog’s.

The next day we wanted to head out early so we could make it to Colorado and have time to see some sites and visit my aunt and uncle. After we said thanks for letting us stay with my Aunt Alks and Uncle Pinakin's house, we were on our way. I wasn't really looking forward to the drive ahead because I remember how long it was the first time I had to make the trip, and it gets uncomfortable. The only thing I like when we go to Colorado is that we lose an hour. This was probably the most boring trip on our journey because most of the land we traveled was in Nebraska and it was flat and plain. There was nothing really significant about this trip until we got to Colorado. Flat land changed into mountains and country turned into city. That part of it was really interesting because it was like we could see the invisible line separating Colorado and Nebraska. It took us a little while to find my aunt in Golden, Colorado because the directions were a little hard to follow. I guess no one wanted to see anything because almost as soon as we were

Over the summer, my family and I drove up to Maine in order to visit my grandpa and relax. For the past couple of years, my dad and I have planned a few days to go hiking. We got into hiking a couple of years ago when we first discovered Tumbledown Mountain. After our first hike together, we were entranced by the beauty of nature and peacefulness that we were eager to plan more. This became a tradition because my dad and I rarely get to spend a lot of time together due to our busy schedules.
