The usage of elements that Albert Bierstadt used to create The Rocky Mountain portrays nature as glorious and majestic. He uses a light versus dark contrast to attract the viewer attention towards the landscape or a specific point of interest. For example, the painting encompassed with different hues of green to represent shadows. He also used a hue of white to emphasis the reflection in the lake. The artist attracted the viewer attention by the contrast of colors, but also by creating a symmetrical balance between the light contrast and the dark contrast of the land. The usage of contrast was not the only element he use, but also space to create a realistic impression. He manipulated the amount of space by painting the mountains to appear

If you had the opportunity to get rich off of gold, would you? Would you be willing to leave everything you have behind to move thousands of miles across the country just for gold? In 1859, the answer for many people was yes. Word of gold found throughout Colorado spread across the country and launched the Pike’s Peak Gold Rush or also known as the Colorado Gold Rush. There are several significant events in Colorado history that have had an influential impact on the state we know today. The Colorado Gold Rush, in 1859, was the most significant event in Colorado History for several reasons: the rush attracted thousands of people to our state, initiated the mining of other resources, succored farming and ranching throughout the state, and boosted the economy of the towns here in Colorado; these benefits of the rush continue to play a role in our state still today.

The State of Colorado achieved its statehood in 1876. In its beginning, it was predominantly a mining and agriculture state. People came from all over the world to settle in the state, the most popular settlements were in Denver all the way south to Colorado Springs. General William Jackson Palmer, a member of the City’s museum commission, founded the city of Colorado Springs in 1871. During the westward expansion, pioneers in their covered wagons moved to the region in search for gold, good health, and prosperity in the mineral rich Rocky Mountains. They settled and built farms, ranches, and small businesses. One of those Pioneers was Thomas Maclaren, a prolific designer, whose work will become extremely popular in the Colorado Springs, Downtown

“The only real nation is humanity” (Farmer 123). This quote represents a huge message that is received in, Tracy Kidder’s, Mountains Beyond Mountains. This book argues that universal healthcare is a right and not a privilege. Kidder’s book also shows the audience that every individual, no matter what the circumstances, is entitled to receive quality health care.

By doing this the audience learns of the horrible circumstances, and the lack of quality health care that nations like Haiti

Did you know that the population of Colorado in 2014 was 5.356 million people? Even though there is less people here than Arizona, 6.731 million people, Colorado has had many events that don’t make it that small in population.

“Dokte Paul.” the first part of the book titled Mountains Beyond Mountains, begins when author and journalist Tracy Kidder first met Dr. Farmer in Haiti. Kidder describes Dr. Farmer as a “big-shot” Boston doctor who has chosen to do humanitarian-type work in Haiti even though he could have an easy career as a lecturer back in Boston. Kidder realizes that Dr. Farmer is the atypical doctor who would rather get to know his patients as people and cares about their health holistically instead of just treating the symptoms and moving on.

After days of deliberation and starting at the plethora of books scattered amongst shelves and boxes in my house, I narrowed my favorite title down to "Mountains Beyond Mountains" by Tracy Kidder. This nonfiction book combines two of my greatest aspirations together: writing and helping the poor and destitute. Kidder tells the story of Paul Farmer's establishment of Zamni Lasante, a hospital in Haiti, and the impassioning health-care work he does for the people there. After visiting Zamni Lasante and living in the affiliated orphanage, Zamni Beni, I was inspired to not only work in third world countries, but to harness my love for writing to share the change I hope to one day spread. Paul Farmer's revolutionary work may have never inspired me had a

Today is the day! I get to visit the Rocky Mountains. I have never seen the Rocky Mountains. Also, I am going on their 100th anniversary. The Rocky Mountains have been there for over 300 million years. In 2015, Rocky Mountain National Park was the third most visited national park with over 4.1 million visitors. I have to get there early because it will be packed. The temperature can drop up to 20 degrees on top of the mountains, so I better bring a jacket.

They party for a while, until they hear a crash in the basement, and they all head down to the basement. What they find is the Book of the Dead, the same book from the 1980’s series “The Evil Dead.” They read the Latin words that are in the book, not realizing that the words are to a curse that wakes up zombies. The zombies wake up and kills Jules, and stumble toward the cabin to kill the rest of the friends. In the end Dana and Marty survive, and they find out that the cabin sits above a corporation. They are trapped in the elevator that brings them to the corporation, and let the monsters free. The people who run the corporation tell the Dana and Marty that they were drugged, and led to this cabin to see if they could survive the simulation. The corporation also tells them that the monsters that were freed were going to be used during the simulation. The corporation also tells Dana and Marty that they needed a whore, a jock, a scholar, a hippie, and a virgin, to sacrifice to the gods that used to rule the Earth. The final part of the movie shows the world ending. The comparisons of The Cave and The Cabin in the Woods are few, and really there’s only one comparison between these two. The one comparison between these two is the comparison that The Cave and The Cabin in the Woods are not in reality. They are both pretty much simulations, and are used to show that people can be fine with a simulation

A unforgettable experience I have had is when I went to colorado last summer. I rode horses everyday up in the mountain. I love riding horses because I think they are really pretty. So everyday the first thing I would do is get up and go eat breakfast with my family. We always went to the same place for breakfast every day because it was really good. Then we would go back to our cabin and either watch a movie or go outside and do something outside. We would sometimes just go outside and sit in a chair because it was always really nice outside. Sometimes we would even see bears or some other type of animal. Then we would go get ready and go ride horses for a couple of hours. That was my favorite part of each day because it was so pretty up in the mountains. One of the times I went riding a train went by and it spooked my horse. The horse started running and kicking a little, but then it stopped and calmed down. We would take pictures up

When they got to the haunted house there was a long line. About 15 minutes later an anamatronic vampire told them the rules and then they were aloud inside. As soon as they got into the haunted house Evan screamed, AHHHHHH! A-a-a-a-a MUMMY!” Jake and Ben both

Going and taking micro adventures to the mountains which were fairly close to my house was a bit of a semi-common thing, however going with only friends of mine was a thing I didn’t do at all. When the suggestion to go up by my friend Alex was made, Jesse and I quickly agreed to go along with this plan. We then proceeded to make our way to the mountain and as we were driving up I decided to chime in and make a suggestion, saying “We should climb up from the base of the waterfall” everybody else quickly agreed since that seemed to be a nice little leisure activity for a group of teenagers.
