Death is a natural part of life – at least that is how the saying goes – but many tend to possess a skewed perception of death. The thought of death generally unnerves and frightens people. Scientist Lewis Thomas addresses this in his 1979 essay “On Natural Death.” In his essay, Thomas establishes himself as a liable source of information through his scientific background and impressive schooling. Aware of his audience’s unease regarding this topic, Lewis Thomas dispels their trepidation by referencing

South Korea is a country with a multi-faceted culture, ranging from K-pop, Korean cuisine, beauty products and Kdramas. Recently Korean culture, also referred to as the KWave, has been expanding around the globe at an exponential rate. As someone who has been invested in the Korean culture for a couple years now, some of my favorite things about it is being able to learn about the culture and geography of South Korea through watching Kdramas and Korean movies. The movies I have chosen for this assignment

“Look! I see them” Ben Halperin looked up from his Warriors book to his sister, Lily's’ call. He could see the Colorado mountains in the distance. “Mom? When will we be there?” Ben asked his mom in the passenger seat of the car. “In about um”, his mom looked at her watch, “about two hours.” “Ugh, that’s such a long time” Ben muttered before sticking his nose into his book again.

As I sat on the damp earth of the woods and watched the first few raindrops of the day fall, a realization struck me- there is absolutely nothing I can do about the weather. I referenced the weather forecast and planned my outfit the night before; I wore a raincoat and plenty of layers. Nonetheless, I quickly found myself shivering. I could not add layers in the woods of course, so instead I focused on my surroundings to distract myself from the cold. I noticed that as the rain fell, the potomac

One of my most favorite places on earth is Albany, Wyoming. In my mind it is one of the beautiful places to be on earth. Albany is truly a beautiful place to be. It is beautiful seeing all the snow covered mountains during the winter. If you ever get a chance to travel there I would highly recommend it. The way the land changes so fast is truly a sight to see. The first time I experienced Albany was in the winter of 2015. It was my first time out west during the winter. It was very weird on our way

Fighting for Love It was a cold Monday night when two families decided that they didn’t want to take care of their kids so they drove to this little town on the other side of the bridge and just left them alone wandering in the woods. The boy’s name was Justin and he was only six years old they had told him that they would be back but they lied and just took off. Jasmin was only five years old and they told her that they were going to play hide and seek but they also lied to her. Justin started to

enough furniture to fill it without being too crowded. A few of the pieces make noise or light up with the touch of a button. The lamp lights up, the toilet flushes, and the tiny keyboard actually plays music. The furniture pieces are made of solid wood that was handmade. They're not cheap plastic that will break after your child spends some time playing with it. There's even a tiny cat with a food and water dish. Separate Spaces and Three Floors The KidKraft Uptown Dollhouse is like having two

picked up his bike and started on his way home. Jake always loved walking home. He loved the scenery of nature, especially during the fall. In order for Jake to get home, he had to go down two blocks from the school and through the woods. As he approached the woods, he got an overwhelmed perception of anxiousness. Jake didn’t

Throughout A Walk in the Woods, Bill Bryson transitions between a narrative of his journey along the Appalachian Trail and informational accounts of the history of the trail.
