The Snowboarding Settlement Report

The supposed “fire” that the two always carried with them, even if their hands were empty, the man’s acceptance that they are low on food and could run out any day, resulting in their slow and painful death from starvation, and the boy’s lack of prejudice whenever they came across a new person who could be a potential danger to their life. It’s mainly a reflection on the highest level, self-actualization, but there is also the occasional instance on them also reflecting the esteem level, depending on the perspective one would look on the instance. It shows that they have their own needs, which could very well be different that the rest of the world’s needs, which is mainly food and

I have been snowboarding since 2005, and since then I have been passionate about the sport. When i’m not snowboarding, I like to watch snowboarding; when i’m not watching snowboarding, i’m probably just adding things to my Burton shopping cart and wishing I was a pro so that I could afford them.

Snowboarding is one of the most enjoyed international pastimes. It presents you with this feeling of freedom and raw power as the cold air hits your face while you carve down the almost vertical mountain face dropping over steep clips and carving trough trees. These are just a few reasons why so many people internationally flock to the mountains to partake in this sport. Snowboarding provides people an escape from there comfort zone by pushing them to take on risks they would never have thought off before.

Throughout time, the progression and evolution of snowboarding has increased greatly. It has gone from non existence in the late 1970’s, to one of the most watched action sports in a matter of thirty-five years. The upward takeoff and popularity of snowboarding relies on two people, Jake Burton and Shaun White. Jake Burton back in 1977 had the vision for what snowboarding would be, but Shaun White had what it took to manifest that vision. Evidence has shown that time brings change in sports, history has repeated itself with snowboarding, this history reflects the time & changes that has occurred in America.

The Underdogs by Mariano Azuela is arguably the most important novel of the Mexican Revolution because of how it profoundly captures the atmosphere and intricacies of the occasion. Although the immediate subject of the novel is Demetrio Macias - a peasant supporter of the Mexican Revolution -, one of its extensive themes is the ambivalence surrounding the revolution in reality as seen from a broader perspective. Although often poetically revered as a ‘beautiful’ revolution, scenes throughout the novel paint the lack of overall benevolence even among the protagonist revolutionaries during the tumultuous days of the revolution. This paper will analyze certain brash characteristics of the venerated revolution as represented by Azuela’s

During this time, instead of giving up their cause, they held steadfast and kept their voices heard. They believed in their cause with so much passion, that they would not surrender to the cruel tortures of the SIM, Trujillo’s secret police. In fact, they tried convincing other prisoners to want to overthrow Trujillo by secretly taking newspaper clippings of his wrongdoings and having them in their hair. Had they given up in prison, their cause and motivation for other revolutionaries would have died right there. However, they stayed persistent and resilient to continue fighting against Trujillo’s regime. Imagine if they had not stayed true to their cause. Trujillo may not have been overthrown! His despotic and inhumane ways of treating his country and people may have never ended. People who would say anything opposing him would be instantly put to death. There would be no freedom of speech. The very basic rights and freedoms people live and long for would be taken away from them. By sacrificing their time with their families, friends, and children, the Mirabal sisters ensured that the entire nation’s future generations would live with peace and

While visiting migrant camps that were being flooded by the torrential rain in Visalia, he was filled with anger at the conditions in which these people were living (DeMott 3). The people

They found themselves surrounded by one-hundred natives of the area. Cabeza de Vaca couldn't think of anything else to do but lay and cry. He cried thinking that this was it for him and his crew. To his amazement, the Indians knelt down on the sand and cried with Cabeza de Vaca and his men for an hour and a half. The next day the Indians returned with a food offering of fish and sweet roots. They clothed Cabeza de Vaca in dried-out animal skins. They built fires for the Spaniards and provided them with shelter. Cabeza de Vaca and his men did this for about four months. Soon a harsh winter came, and supplies became scarce. Illness fell throughout the land, killing many Indians and Spaniards. Cabeza de Vaca decided to return the favor and take four of his healthiest men to go out and gather supplies to treat the ill Indians. (Cabeza de Vaca pg

Guillermo del Toro’s ‘El Laberinto del Fauno’ depicts the story of a little girl, Ofelia, and her adventures in a world that is intertwined with both reality and fantasy. The film is set five years after the Spanish Civil War, during Franco’s dictatorship of Spain. Franco’s dictatorship was a period of mass repression on all scales of society; any political opposition was immediately crushed. Guillermo del Toro uses the monsters in ‘El Laberinto del Fauno’ to reflect and criticize aspects of Francoist society and draw parallels between the monsters and the humans.

For the soldiers, the war is one of carnage and gore, of death and destruction, and of risk and uncertainty (Core 6). Undeniably, in each seemingly unhidden corner lies enough atrocity to completely pulverize a man's morality. Remarque himself best summarizes this in an excerpt from the book, "I am young, I am twenty years old; yet I know nothing of life but despair, death, fear, and fatuous superficiality cast over an abyss of sorrow. I see how peoples are set against one another, and in silence, unknowingly, foolishly, obediently, innocently slay one another." Because of the constant cloud of terror and grief hanging over the war, overcoming the struggles of defeat could seem like a variety (Core 2). On the contrast, Santiago makes strides after overcoming his "fish drought" of sorts. Although the fish that would have made him quite wealthy is rid of its meat before reaching shore, he, Manolin, and the local fishermen of Havana are reinstated with the confidence that Santiago is not "salão". The third paramount concept from the previous recommended readings is one of higher-level abstraction. This cogitation is derived of the notion that death breeds life. Only through recognizing the mortality of our existence might we begin to appreciate each fleeting moment of it. Ernest Hemingway exemplifies upon this symbolically by using the end of Santiago's streak to breath a new stage of prosperity into him. The cycle

In wartime, the only way to survive is to put the needs of your family before everything, even your life. Domingo, Alejandro, and Isabel are part of a group that is not blood-related, however they consider themselves family. They are bound by something much deeper: the obligation and sacrifice you must make for others in perilous situations. Over the course of the story, all made choices to put their lives and the things that they love most at risk to save their family.

In the blazing, hot desert sun, four men spent three months digging, scavenging the sand for wealth. There is a famous legend which depicts an underground burrow, hiding chests with gold, jewelry, and coins filled to the brim. The quartet dedicated their lives to searching for treasure. In fact, they abandoned everything they’ve ever had. One day, these men left their wives, children, and jobs in order to obtain the lifestyle they truly longed for. While digging, two of the men decide to catch a drink of water. The other two men scoffed and continued to shovel the sand. As they rehydrated, the two men quickly vented their frustration about their two other partners. They were both so dehydrated, overheated, and livid that it was simple for them to make rash decisions. The duo simultaneously agreed to murder their colleagues but little did

A final—and perhaps the most important—parallel with Third Cinema is the way in which Piquetero carajo! serves as a call to arms that actualizes the visage of Che Guevara’s cadaver. In the wake of a tribute to the two martyred protestors killed by the police, the music track leaves us pondering that sometimes people have to die for rebirth to occur. The lyric adds: “And if you have any questions about that, just ask Che.” Whereas Solanas’s Memoria stopped short of such blatant harangues and calls to self-sacrifice, Piquetero carajo! appears willing to pursue the struggle to its ultimate consequences. In that sense, it may better actualize the combative spirit of La hora de los hornos than Solanas’s own post-2001 films.

As the glowing bright mustard colored sun arose my bright pink chapped lips began to move. I began setting rules such as everybody needs to help each other, they need to be fair and not greedy with the food or resources, everybody needs to help on any project that we do to get rescued. You cannot go past the tenth apple tree until we run out of food and lastly if any of the rules are broken you will not be able to have any food for the day. As I slowly moved my head in a clockwise direction I saw their faces filled with shock but as they began discussing these rules to each other they agreed. Three days later, as I was walking back to shore the ocean blue water seeped through my feet cooling them from the heated sand. As I stood there my eyes widened, my eyebrows pushed together and I was angered and shocked. David, one of the survivors, was running past the tenth tree. I quickly began moving, my heart was pacing I could hardly breathe, I was running so fast that my feet began to burn. I finally caught him stretching my arm forward and pulling his red filthy soft shirt. I quickly brought him back to shore and called the other survivors. As his punishment David had to be starved for the whole day, as the other survivors saw the pallor of his skin, and pain from
