Into the woods

BANG! BANG! I fired two rounds of ammunition into the woods. My father hopped out of the old ford f-150 waving his 7mm 08 “What's all this ruckus about,?” he exclaimed. To his surprise there lied a nice even ten point rack on a huge buck. “So you finally got you one huh?” He remarked. “Yes sir!” I said in a firm loud and proud voice. From a distance the you could hear the mighty roar of the five blue tick hounds getting closer and closer. I yelled to my father let's get this thing out of here before they get here I don’t want these hounds eating on my deer! At the end of the day after showing the monster off we finally calmed down and took it to the meat

The emergence of two alliances the allied powers, and the central powers are to blame for the leading factor that caused this war.

    In this short paper I will go over my thoughts on the article provided for this week’s article summary, Diagnosing Hunting Rifle Accuracy, Part One, American Gunsmith May 2015, by Wendell Dwight Deaner.

    Identify a theme in the play and discuss its expression onstage in the performance and how it’s supported by symbolism or dialogue. Into the woods consistently displayed the theme of greed. Many of the characters made a sacrifice for something they wanted and victimized someone in the process. For example, the witch wanted more than anything to look young again, she sacrificed her powers over others to look that way. The evil step-sisters also were very greedy, they cut up their feet just for a chance to fit in the shoe and marry the prince.…

    "So this is White Pines," my nephew grinned, his dark brown eyes darted here and there as he took in the scene before him. "This is it," I answered, wishing I could crawl inside his head and see his first impressions of our simple mountain home. Deep inside I believed curiosity had been the impetus behind my nephew's visit. Had we lived a "normal" life, I'm not so sure he would have ever made the trip, especially by himself. We felt honored that my nephew had come all the way across the country for a visit and intended on giving him exactly what he'd requested: an authentic, "White Pines" experience, crazy or not.…

    A Walk in the Woods. In my opinion, a very appropriate title for Bill Bryson’s book. His trek through the Appalachian trail and its tributaries are perfectly be described as just that, a walk. The google definition gives you, “an unhurried rate of movement on foot,” you can see what is meant by this. As Bryson and Katz make their way through the woods, their movements can be described as anything but hurried, with Bryson waiting around every bend for Katz and normal hikers passing them on a weekly basis.…

    My First Deer One brisk 30 degree day in January, when I was nine years old, was a day for which I was extremely excited. My dad got me out of school earlier that day, so we could go deer hunting. I had already shot a turkey the year before, so guns were nothing new to me. We made a quick stop at my house so that we could pick up the .243 youth edition, a really short barreled .243, that my dad had bought just about a month before so that we could go hunting, and I would actually be able to handle the gun. At this point we did not have the hunting land that we do today, so we went to my grandpa’s house and hunted in the clearing of trees behind his house.…

    • 6 Pages

    “The mouse that roared” was the label placed on the legendary M16 as it claimed responsibility for utterly destroying hundreds of thousands of North Vietnamese militants and fighters (Parsons). The M16 was and currently is an assault rifle that was developed by an American engineer named Eugene Stoner (Morgan). The development of the M16 was significant due to the revolutionary design and accuracy that saved many Americans their lives. Even though the M16 is still the weapon of choice today and is credited with saving thousands of lives, there is stark controversy over the reliability and firepower of the weapon. Opponents of the M16 claim thousands of men were lying dead with their jammed M16s next to them in Vietnam (Morgan).…
