What thoughts have I tonight as I walk emptied handed and no one to be arm in arm with as I navigate the LA streets. I envy the young man wiping out on his skateboard. Look at the concern on the young woman’s eyes. She looks on with a frown. Still, he makes her laugh with his imitation of the Zombie’s walk. How much happiness is contained in the rivulets of his blood that hardens along the shin of his wounded kneecap? What thoughts have I tonight, walking the LA streets that are east of LAX. There

Is hiking the Appalachian Trail right for you? Taking on a journey stretching well over 2,100 miles, covering fourteen states (from Maine to Georgia) by foot is no simple stroll where at the end of the day a comfortable bed and hot meal would await you. Instead, hiking the Appalachian Trail can be an endless battle with all the elements of mother nature: whereas in one state spring would have sprung already with wildflowers dressing the forest floors and insects buzzing through crisp air

The silver automobile travels down the peaceful streets of West Chester at a steady pace, its wheels crunching over the hard granite. Lizzy Ji stares out the window, absorbing the new sights and sounds of the seemingly tranquil town. There are no signboards that will light when dusk falls, no skyscrapers extending toward the sky and beyond, no honking horns from the frustration of taxi drivers, no dresses and skirts in shop displays—it is nothing like the city. She sinks back in her seat, a tiny

It was one chilly morning in the Seoul neighbourhood, the trees, field, and hedges shown green as if threatening to bleach the eye, a clear warning that the autumn had just begun. A truck approaches a toll booth as its being sanitized, with several workers cleaning the area in hazmat suits. The truck passes through the toll booth and accuses them for slowing him down, but the workers assure him that nothing is wrong, and that the area is just being sanitized as there was a small leak at a nearby

Imagine owning a car that has been giving you problems for several months. Seeing that it is your only effective form of transportation, you eventually decide to bring it to a mechanic to see if the problem can be resolved. After making the necessary repairs, the mechanic calls and tells you that the car is ready to be picked up. Although the mechanic has assured you he has successfully resolved everything, you begin to have the sense that something else will go wrong with the car the moment you

post-apocalyptic one. The Road by Cormac McCarthy occurs in a post-apocalyptic world where some unsaid calamity has struck and wiped out the majority of life and civilization on earth. A boy and his father trek across the land, avoiding all other existing life and trying to survive. One dominant theme in The Road is survival. The boy and his father do everything in their power to survive. The theme of survival is also found in the poem “Man” by Eberhard Arnold. The Road and “Man” display survival

Do cyclists belong on the sidewalk or on the road? This is a very prevalent issue that is constantly brought up in the community in which I live. The common belief in my community is that cyclists belong on the sidewalk, and people are very open in their opinions: I have been yelled at by an automobilist to get off the road when I was cycling. Cyclists have been mislabeled as pedestrians and do not belong on the sidewalk, and by riding on the sidewalk they endanger themselves and pedestrians. Right

Sam Crocker Miss Erickson World Lit 10th of November, 2015 Better Drivers Drivers not knowing many of the rules of the road puts themselves and those around th it a danger to themselves and everyone else driving alongside them. Drivers should be required, by law, to take road tests every four years to help make the roads a lot safer. Their would be less accidents because people would understand more laws. If there were drivers tests every four years people would be less likely to learn something

Many people think that it is impossible to install asphalt pavement in the winter. However, although there are times when it is simply not feasible, there are many days during the winter months that allow experienced contractors to handle paving jobs without sacrificing quality. It is more difficult, and since it may require using additional equipment or more personnel, it may be a little more expensive than the same job would cost during the summer months. At times, however, there is no option other

It’s time to start putting on the cameo so we can head out into the field. I get my 3 layers of close on, boot warmers in my boots and hand warmers in my hand pouch and out the door we go. Getting to our location and situated in our blind is all a blur, normally we get out of the truck and walk very slow and quality to the blind that looks like a hay bale. Eric, my husband gets in first to get the propane tank turned on and the heater situated, then it’s my turn to crawl into the somewhat small blind
