A Walk in the Woods by Lee Blessing was based on a historical event in 1982. Two negotiators, one from Russia and one from the U.S., took a walk into the woods during talks in Geneva. Russia was developing intermediate range missiles that only targeted European countries, thus making NATO impossible to act on the matter. The U.S. decided to upgrade Germany’s weapons to be on the same level as those of Russia. The US and the USSR meet for peace talks intending to Stone wall each other’s plans. The USSR was set on blocking deployment of the American Pershing IIs without giving up their SS-20s; President Reagan proposed both nations go to zero (adst.1.). Peace talks continued into 1982 with little progress on negotiations. About eight months

The initial impression gathered from the passage is bizarre and very dreamlike, perhaps chiefly because it is an excerpt from a novel or a larger literary work. Upon further analysis, the passage develops an eerily violent tone. The events appear to take place in the home of Dieter Bethge, during a stormy night while he is sleeping. Immediately the rain is described as falling with “sodden fury”, introducing the negative tone. Shortly after this description, Mrs. Hax adopts the persona of an animal stalking its prey. She “methodically trimmed the glass out of the frame” eerily without emotion, despite the fact that she is on her way to cause harm to Dieter, as
Reese Wells and his two friends, Brad and Tyler, took an adventure of a lifetime at Zion National Park and Angels Landing in Utah by hiking in the dangerous mountains to fulfill the empty gap in their friendship, making them closer than ever. Reese and his friends were joined by thousands of visitors and tourist on their hike. The hike of the peak was two and half miles and 1400 feet of elevation gain. After they woke up early they were fighting headwinds at the steep edges of the Zion monoliths. The author described the Zion monoliths as purple and blue sky gazes its pale dawn from behind the mountains. The three soon found themselves Walter’s wiggles, leading the to Scout's Landing. Despite the beautiful sight, the hike was still very dangerous.
Before reading the third chapter of “The Forest and the Trees”, I remember learning in the second chapter about symbolism, ideology and the construction of life in different cultures and societies around the world. For example, something interesting I remember learning was how every social system has a culture, consisting primarily of symbols (including words), ideas and practices. I believe this also connects and refers to how we tend to build our own sense of reality through the words and ideas that we use to mean something and people may use to name interpret what they experience and how cultures consist of symbols of ideas or words being portrayed. Based on what I read in the second chapter and the title of the third chapter, “The Structures

No era of Summitry was as eventful as that of Reagan and Gorbachev’s. Both the leaders held four summits between 1985 and 1988, which eventually changed the course of the history. The personal rapport that the two leaders established between themselves ultimately led to the end of the cold war, without a shot being fired. This was no mean feat, considering that in the preceding four decades, both the countries spared no effort to outdo each other from space exploration to making the most lethal weapons that the mankind had ever known. The 80’s saw the climax of one of the most intriguing rivalries between the two super-powers of the time. This decade also proved the huge importance of
Despite the increase of defense projects and counter-Soviet initiatives, Reagan did desire for negotiation and improve relations between Washington and Kremlin (Rossinow, 224). Soon afterward, during his second term, Reagan held meetings with leader Mikhail Gorbachev, with whom he negotiated a treaty to eliminate a range of nuclear weapons. Between the two men was a forged relationship- as a partnership, as friends. Reagan, surprisingly, even suggested that both powers should do what they can to ensure that such weapons entirely removed from the world (Rossinow, 232)- although the proposal 's implementation did not work, it still did prove interestingly of Reagan 's thinking to establish disarmament, even if it never happened. Nonetheless, ending the war after so many decades of tension was a monumental triumph for the US and American policy.
