The turbulent winds smashed into my face as I struggled to pull my dog to the cover of the large oak tree. All of a sudden, a large gust of wind lifted my dog into the air, snapping her old and tattered leash! I screamed in horror as she was flung into the choppy river. Stunned, I could only watch in panic as my dog’s head bobbed up and down in the water, while she frenetically tried to keep herself afloat… Unaware of the dreadful events that were about to unfold later in the day, I rolled

countryside grass and scans the backyard. It is littered with trees; amongst the ocean of green grass, he sees the biggest tree standing in the middle: the old oak tree. Standing prouder than all the others, its vibrant green leaves touch the blue sky. Looking under the oak tree, he sees what he has been looking for. Hanging from the thick oak branches is a brown woven rope. The sturdy rope is tied around the object of his fascination: an old piece of rubber. He runs out toward it and within a second

I could feel the tension in the air. "Who did this?" boomed Ali. Ali knew it wasn't me. In fact, I don't understand why he would have

Oak Trees versus Acorns: Which is better? It has been argued for centuries now, that people do not grow their full human potential, largely because they do not participate in a reasonably sophisticated refinement . John Stuart Mill, in his book Utilitarianism, claims that "It is better to be a human being dissatisfied than a pig satisfied" [Mill JS: 1863]. This essay will show that the advantages of being a "human dissatisfied" are better than those of a "pig satisfied". But before this can be proven

leaves found in the sun and shade on various species of maple and oak trees around campus. Our null hypothesis was Acer and Quercus acclimate similarly with regards to SLW (specific leaf weight), size, and sinuosity. Our hypothesis was Quercus acclimation is greater than Acer SLW, size, and sinuosity. We tested these hypotheses by picking small sections of a branches from both maple and oak trees. A group was assigned either a maple or an oak tree, and needed a total of three different trees per group
