The Evergreens: A Short Story

I readed the most touching book named “Where The Red Fern Grows” by an author that I really like named Wilson Rawls. The way the book was real touching was the way how the author shows the love between a boy and his dogs. Like the way the boy will help his dogs get better when they are hurt and how the boy was protect his dog through anything. I thank Wilson Rawls was trying to show the way that people while do for the thing that they hold the closes to them like the way it is shown in the book “Where The Red Fern Grows”.

     I cannot remember the first time I read Where the Red Fern Grows, by Wilson Rawls. I read it at about age ten, and I have lost count of how many times I read it since. It was a period in my life when childhood was nearly over, but adolescence had not yet set in, and it was a time when animals were my greatest love.

It is extremely crucial to have the ability to feel satisfied with very little in life. The poem An Ox Looks at Man, by Carlos Drummond de Andrade, is about an ox judging humans for forgetting a crucial element in life. The poem’s language suggests that while the ox is able to remain content with life, humans can never feel satisfied as shown by the ox’s description of human’s physical characteristics and emotional behaviors.

I chose to critique Helen Frankenthaler Snow Pines at in the Sarah Moody Gallery of Art from 2004 in Garland Hall at the University of Alabama.

My eyes peeled open slowly and the bright sunlight flooded into my eyes, blinding me. I heard the sound of running water and felt the cold breeze flow over my body. I looked out of my hammock and in front of me was a beautiful waterfall and several towering, bright green trees. My friends whom were with me shortly awoke and we packed our things and set off on our first true day of hiking in the Appalachian mountains.

Protecting Miles and Flora in The Turn of the Screw “I saw my service so strongly and simply. I was there to protect and defend the little creatures…” The governess sees it as her duty to protect Miles and Flora. What do they need protection from and how does Henry James illustrate this in his novel “The Turn of the Screw”?

In Allen Johnson’s “The Forest, The Trees, and The One Thing”, he expresses that in order to understand sociology we need to be able to understand the relationship between biography and history. To explain this, Johnson uses five rules to sociology called the sociological imagination. These rules explain how an individual relates to social systems.

Ford Pines listened as he tugged hard on the steering wheel of Stan 'O' War II. He could hear waves crashing violently against the wooden boat. He could hear hundreds of droplets of rain brutally smacking the ship,and his elderly ears could just about make out his twin brother Stanley expressing dissapointment that, thus far, he had made no money from the trip. To anyone who was not Ford, or Stan, these sounds would be startling and uncomforting. But the pair had gotten used to these sounds; after all, they had been on their expedition for over a month. And still, frustratingly, there was no sign of the source of the strange anomalies that Ford had detected at Dipper and Mabel's thriteenth birthday party. Ford and his brother had battled giant

The early 1940’s were tough times for many Japanese living in America. This is all due to the Japanese and American conflict in World War II, after Japan decided to bomb Pearl Harbor. After this incident many Japanese-Americans were discriminated against and were thought of as bad Japanese instead of the Americans they were. A lot of these Japanese-Americans were unfairly sent to internment camps in the United States. This is also true of the incidents that take place in the fictional novel Snow Falling On Cedars, by David Guterson.

Great green and yellow grasshoppers are everywhere in the tall grass, popping up like corn to sting the flesh, and tortoises crawl about on the red earth, going nowhere in plenty of time. Loneliness is an aspect of the land. All things in the plain are isolated; there is no confusion of objects in the eye, but one hill or one tree or one man. To look upon that landscape in the early morning, with

In the poem ¨ I Saw in Louisiana A Living-Oak Growing¨ by Walt Whitman the Theme is even though you may be lonely in life you can still grow and prosper by yourself. The Tree as the speaker explained it in the poem ¨it grew there uttering joyous leaves of dark green, And its look, rude, unbending, lusty, made me think of myself, But i wonder how, it could utter joyous leaves standing alone there without itf friend near¨ made me think that even though your alone you can still grow as a person, strong and ¨unbending¨. Also when the speaker ¨broke off a twig with a certain number of leaves upon it, and twined around it a little moss, and brought it away¨ gave me the expression that even if you may have people in your life they can still ¨break off¨ from your life just like the branch in the poem. The moran of the

Don’t feel bad for Japes as he rocks in his chair watching the cardinals and the squirrels’ race around the towering pine trees across from his front porch. It has been a few years since he retired and although he is not naive he still shakes his head when reflecting on the vicious nature of the greed shown by those in the world outside of the hotel. Of course the nature of a hotel culture is in itself one of safety and comfort. Servers are a breed all their own with skills in many disciplines all of which are aimed at bringing a smile and sense of belonging to everyone not just a select few. It is an extremely challenging skill and an equally satisfying career. Servers do not receive the recognition that many other disciplines get, but when

Being presented with their wishes of trading spots the two sides “…refuse, on the verge of bliss.”. Dramatic irony is being used by Horace to transmit the inefficiency that these action less discontent people create. Horace displays how these members of society only speak and complain and have nothing enlightening or useful to say. Never pleased these people are always on the move for more. More money, gold and silver and more harvest surplus is what drives the lives of such members and no matter how much they acquire they still feel inadequate and seeking for addition.

And this dissatisfaction only occurs because our “now” is seen as a monotonous blur, because we are preoccupied with hope, born of dissatisfaction, and refuse to cease running. In his poem, The Peace of Wild Things, Wendell Berry acknowledges this, and through his verse reveals this distinctly human preoccupation as a source of suffering, and his reconciliation with nature as the remedy:

'Black shapes crouched, lay, sat, between the trees, leaning against the trunks, clinging to the earth, half coming out, half effaced within the dim light, in all the attitudes of pain, abandonment and despair. . . . They were dying slowly . . . These moribund shapes were free as air-- and nearly as thin.' (34-35)
