Yellow raft

Ultimately, the authors of A Yellow Raft in Blue Water and Love Medicine create sympathetic indigenous female characters throughout their novels by portraying them as victims of circumstance. Throughout both the novels, there is an overbearing sense of anticipated calamity which overwhelms these characters lives. They are imprisoned literally within their impoverished and bleak circumstances. The prejudice against First Nation people limits their prospects and makes them more vulnerable to drugs

“Splash!” I went into the river. I was at Ten Mile River Scout Reservation. We just started the trip when I went into the water. We were the only boat that flipped over on the river. Let me tell you what happened before and during this part of the camping trip. I braced for impact. I went down a little waterfall. It hit a rock as it went down the little waterfall. The canone started to tilt over. “I’m ready,” I said. All of a sudden, the canoe flipped over! I went into the freezing cold water of

I am thrown from my raft into the rapids, I come to grips with reality. This is a situation I no longer have control in, as Mother Nature has wrapped her arms around me. My thoughts run rampant through my head, “Will I be alive three minutes from now?”. That afternoon, on the Shoshone River in the mountains of Wyoming, might have been my last. In hindsight, I knew the raft was going to overturn. Having looked downstream, I saw the imminent threat of the canyon wall. The raft guide yells “ALL IN

We have come across a river that looks dangerous, so my family thought it would be a good idea to wait for the water level to drop. The next morning the water level was way lower than it was when we came across it. We had to wait one day, but we crossed and made it without any troubles. There was a group of Native Americans that looked interested in us so we decided to stop and say hi. Our family ate a meal with the natives and we even traded goods. After we left, we came across a native tribe that

Im racing down the river trying ever thing I can do to try and find Ben, and then out of the corner of my eye I see a little bit of yellow sticking out of the water.I get so happy but I have to stay calm. I grab Ben out of the water and I remember thinking what would Carl do. Then I remember the ABC’s. A stands for air ways so I check to see if and of his air ways are clogged.Nothing

White-water rafting here we come, yes, the whole family and I are vacationing in Colorado and the kids are pumped they’re now old enough to join in on their first trip down the thrilling San Miguel River (we have twin boys and they just turned 10-years old and that the minimum age requirement for this beginner, but challenging trip and they’re committed to pulling their weight by participating in the demanding paddling that is required), of course it gives us peace of mind to know we’ll have a professional

The water was green and murky, with no telling which area was safe to jump into. The wind was still and cold, surely the water would be ten times colder. I have dreaded it all day, the end of the hike. Nervous I took steps closer to the verge of the cliff. I looked off the edge in disbelief that anyone would willingly jump off. Only a select few would decide to make the jump, and one of them was me. I took my stance on the edge of the waterfall, and watched as others beside me jumped in. Standing

“Mom, I’m scared,” trembled Juliana. “Of what?” Mom retorted. “Of what? Of dying!” the eldest sister shrieked. My other sister and I glanced at each other, too scared to complain at that point. We were sitting at a wobbly picnic table, the surface of it almost as smooth as marble because of the years of use, stuck in a room full of people bouncing their leg up and down with sweat dribbling down their forehead while trying to sign the liability paper stating that death could occur. “After you have

flight of cement stairs leading to the river. We got out of the bus, and I was tempted to hide under the seats. A dark haired man with sunglasses, handed out the helmets and paddles. “My name is Tom, and I’m your instructor. Let hurry and get to the raft.” He said, putting on a life jacket. “Do we have to put on all this gear?” I asked while he was explaining what everything was. “No just the waterproof jacket, life jacket and helmet.” He said, as he handed out some of the gear. We all grabbed our
