Big Rock Candy Mountain

Traveling with music was my way of expressing who I am through each move. These five songs I associate with my traveling experiences and how they have impacted my perspective on life. Days Go By by Keith Urban, Bartender by Lady Antebellum, The Big Rock Candy Mountain by Harry McClintock, Send My Love by Adele and I would walk 5,000 miles by Mary Carpenter are my top five songs of traveling with music. While traveling and seeing the world,

decided I would use Big Rock Candy Mountain as my poem of choice. I recognize this poem as a song written by Harry McClintock in 1928. The song is one of the few that can still make sense in today’s culture and society and in my opinion is the mark of a truly great writer.

There are two ways that a poem can be analyzed, which is by either to look for a deeper meaning or by finding poetry devices used. “I Look to You” and “Big Rock Candy Mountain” both contain prominent examples of poetry devices and have a connotative meaning.

mom let me stroll around with my friend, Brandon on Pluto Rovers with Pluto space suits on and some Pluto Yeezy’s 350s. Brandon then challenged me to race to the nearest mountain. That mountain was HUGE. I’m talking over 5,000 feet. Sadly, he won the race by an inch. After that all we saw were rocky plains. Blue and Yellow rocks. It was absolutely gorgeous. You don’t really see crap like this on Earth! Sigh, if only Donald Trump wasn’t elected. We kept on strolling until we came across a little

The roads curved and rose, hugging the contour of the mountain. Hidden in the lower valleys of the mountains you would find green grassy plains, with ponds and fields, followed by the farms that made-up Whitehall. The fields sometimes held dozens of beautiful horses at a time, followed by cows roaming and chewing on grass. Whitehall

voice called to her saying "Yo! Over here chick! I've got some new treats for you to try!" She looked gingerly at him and asked, "Why should I trust you?" Darth Vader explained how the black licorice wasn't bad at all. It was just merely a piece of candy. With that she took and ate

help on many levels. Some say it helps lower stress and anxiety. Not having to deal with the people back home and or the drama. Since going out on one’s own is a necessary rite of passage for all young people at some point, they might as well go big and move to another state where they are less likely to still be dependent on their parents. But moving out of state still can be stressful. Having to learn a new address, new names, figure out a way around the town or state, and remember where everything

Make sure you follow the adventure by checking our backcountry driving from days 1 & 2 during our trip to Big Bend National Park. Wake Up One of my first task when after waking up was checking on Bmo after he was forced to sleep in his truck with only a blanket due to a leaking tent. He was alive and mostly warm, so we all jumped in my car for a few minutes with the heat on. Once we were all fully warmed up, it was time to boil water for oatmeal and Malt-O-Meal. Finally, Jack and I packed up our
