I believe in people (Berstein 19). I believe there is good in every human being because of the choice we have between right and wrong (19). In “The Mountain Disappears”, Leonard Bernstein tells us that it is what we choose to do with that free will is what defines us. Something that we need to believe in is love. Love is a commitment and teaches us how to be passionate about something that makes us a better person. I believe that every single one of us has the ability to change and that when we change, we have great potential (19-20). Everyone has the potential to make a difference in the world. I believe in the attainability of good (21). We all have it, so why don’t we use it?

Growing up by Mount Newton I had never heard the First Nation History to the mountain. The story of Mount Newton is that an elder gathered the community together to tell them that they would no longer be safe in their homeland because the tides were rising. He warned them that they had to temporarily move up to the top of the Mount Newton to avoid the high tide. The community listen to the elder and gathered up their canoes and belonging and headed to the summit. As the sea waters began to rise up higher than the top of Mount Newton the community members had to tie a rope between their canoes and an arbutus tree and float above the land. The First Nation’s were floating in their canoes when a raven arrived to tell them the flood would soon be over. The raven traditionally in

The pink blooms on tall stakes, also known as Fireweed, often blanket the land in this region and when the flowers turn to cotton, it is a sign that winter is around the corner.

Look up and Denali Mountain rises 20,310 feet above sea level as the highest peak in North America. This summit is company to 6 million acres of the Denali National Park and Grizzly Bears.

Just west of the coastal plains is the Appalachian Mountain chain that stretches from Northern Georgia to Maine. The Appalachian Mountains is a mineral rich region that houses one of the biggest

In our experiment of field ecology at A-mountain, the purpose were to understand the specific factors that affect the distribution and abundance of plant species at north facing slope and south facing slope. The availability of plants in certain area depends on temperature, availability of water, sunlight and nutrients. A-mountain which is in Arizona has different desert plant that includes; grass, brittlebush, bursage, creosote bush, mesquite, palo verde, fishhook barrel, hedgehog, pincushion, teddy bear cholla, staghorn cholla, chain fruit cholla, prickly pear and others.. and some are specifically found on either north or south side of the mountain. The fact that the south slope receive more direct sunlight than the north facing slope, soil moisture will evaporate faster in south side of the mountain than in the north side thus the availability of different drought resisting plant whereas in north side where there is a slower evaporation due to lack of direct sunlight hence few drought resistant plants compared to south side (Wyant, unpublished data). We predicted that to the south side of the mountain there be will more diversity, evenness and drought tolerant plants species than the north side.

On August 30, the miners began their assault on Blair Mountain. Defensive formations blocked the miners along on the upper slopes of the ridge, with particular concentrations at the gaps of Mill Creek, Crooked Creek, Beech Creek and Blair Mountain. Here the defensive force dug trenches, chopped down trees, blocked roads, built breastworks and placed machine guns. Most of the fighting between the two groups took place along the fifteen-mile ridgeline, which reflected the miners' use of natural pathways up and over the ridge to breach Chafin's line.
