He arrived at his wigwam with his deer on his, and his father’s shoulders. He had been learning how to hunt for a month and had been able to get a deer for supper. “I got one, I got one!” Itawamba proudly exclaimed as he ran to his friend’s wigwam. “Is it

The village of Baroque, a once quaint area in the northern woodlands, has been going through years of turmoil. Crops failing for different reasons, surviving a disease and having birds found dead all through the wooded surroundings. In the center of it all, Klara and her family did their best to withstand the unfortunate ordeal plaguing their little town. Klara had always been thin growing up, a by-product of the lack of food, that did not stop her mind from growing. Even with the only formal education

Most wooden benches just aren’t as durable as an iron/metal bench. Also lost is the comfort factor with most metal benches. The idea of a “pipe bench” is all around a great idea. The pipe bench

year 7 and two oak trees each year (refer back to Figure 1 to see). In addition, field mice tried to take shelter in a nearby residence where they were eaten by cat, poisoned and encountered mouse traps. Then, roadways needed to be made, trees and grassland were removed twice, and neighborhood cats ate one red-headed woodpecker, cottontail rabbit, black rat snake, and field mouse. Also, the ecosystem experienced a dry day, a brush fire, and acid rain. The acid rain killed three oak trees and killed

black. The darkness fades out as I rub my eyes and sit up. I’m sitting in a grassy field with nothing but green in all directions. I stand up and notice a tree in the distance. My instincts tell me to go to the tree, so I do. I arrive and the white oak stands tall before me. I turn around and suddenly I’m in a jungle filled with giant mushroom trees and purple plantation.

A Day in the Forest It was a calm, overcast day, and I found myself resting at the side of a large oak tree, admiring the beauty of the woods that surrounded me. The sunless sky covered the woods over the treetops which created a canopy over my head. The crimson and auburn foliage was a magnificent sight, as this was the season known as Fall. There was a gentle breeze, creating the single sound of rustling leaves. The leaves appeared as though they were dying to fall out of the

Anyone who has owned one would readily aggree that hamsters, girlbils, and mice provide an owner with hours of amusement and years of companionship. Rabbits are fabulous for those who are looking for a quiet playmate, while rats and ferrets are hyperactive and surprisingly intelligent. Guinea pigs are another very popular choice for a small pet. A website dedicated to guinea pigs boasts on their front page that there is no question that "guinea pigs make excellent pets

EMA Govind It hadn’t occurred to me that I wasn’t actually allowed in the woods. No one had mentioned it. You would have thought that they would. Failure to comply with the laws of The Estate resulted in the disappearance of many people - some call it death; some exile; some speculated that they ended up back in the Tower with The Mistress. Either way, they are never seen or heard of ever again. I had heard this facts as I travelled the streets of The Estate; snippets of conversation as I waft
