Walnut Hill School

hid the people 's faces, but we shouted "Good day! Good day! Fine day!" at the top of our voices. When we came to Hustler Hill, he said that the mare was tired, so we all got down and walked, as our good manners required. The Boomers had raised Elizabeth to have an open young mind and when she became of school age, allowed for her to attend a small one room school that housed all twelve grades (Millier 15). Even with attending school, Elizabeth had once stated that her desire to compose works came from one of her doctors she had been seeing for her asthma (Millier 15). In 1917, she was abruptly moved from her wondrous home in Nova Scotia to Worcester. Elizabeth’s paternal grandparents moved her to Worcester seeing a need for her to have a better education than what they believed she would receive in the rural land of the Great Village (Fountain 12). This pursuit made Elizabeth feel as though she was kidnapped and trapped into a world she never truly desired (Millier 20). The adoration she had felt for maternal grandparents was not transferred to her father’s due to their cold and proper ways. The Bishop’s lived on a very isolated farm, this was complete opposite of the open village life Elizabeth was accustomed to living in Nova Scotia (Millier 20). Elizabeth’s grandmother, Sarah Bishop, assigned Elizabeth a friend and at times would require certain school children to come to the farm to play with. Elizabeth seen her grandmother’s intentions with the young children and…

"The Black Walnut Tree" is a contention between the strict and non-literal, the down to earth and wistful. In an obvious actuality, verging on contemptuous tone, the mother and daughter discuss cutting downed selling the tree to pay off their home loan. In any case, with a move to more metaphorical dialect comes a change to a more typical perspective of the black walnut tree: it is an image of their family legacy and father's work, and however the home loan measures overwhelming, chopping down…

My family and I have visited Brackenridge Park for many years now, beginning from a time where my line of vision extended only a few feet off the ground to the beginning of my time at university. Granted, my height might not have changed much, but time certainly has. Brackenridge Park easily surpassed the dreaded McAllister Park (dreaded because as a child, I hated nothing more than spending hours walking through the never-ending park in the middle of the burning heat that Satan himself would…

create a town belt, which had a positive effect on sustaining the green space around the city. The Settlers also took advantage of the hills beside the wetlands and reclaimed a lot of area in order to develop more flat land for the city. This had a negative impact on the environment because the landscape was dramatically…

you ready”? I respond with “Of course” We hop in the now warm car and begin our drive into the hills. We get to our destination and slowly hop out of the car trying not to make a sound, grab our rifles and begin to walk. Walking…

he was hugging back. I took a step back and asked what was wrong. He told me that when he first climbed this mountain, him and everyone else got turned into a vampire. It was all okay at first, they had gotten used to living up here, until one day, Daniel and some others got really weak. They were taken to the healer and found that they had some sort of disease. Basically, they had an allergic reaction to the vampire venom that they’re bodies held. He was told that he would die one year later,…

Ever since I was a little girl I have wanted to be tall. One day my mom took me to the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle. As we were roaming throughout the day we finally ended up at the Giraffe exhibit. Being a 7-year-old, I girl didn't know what a giraffe was. At the exhibit, I instantly stopped dead in my tracks and whispered to myself “I want to be that tall” And instantly fell in love. To this day giraffes are still my favorite animal. Earlier this year I went back to the same zoo and learned…

have it in a random, isolated location in the woods that are across the lake from my cabin which is an isolated area to begin with. I chose this location for more a joke factor in a sense because people would not expect this at all and a random person that stumbles upon it would be in awe with what they have just “found”. People may think that it is something signifcant from the past and/or holds great value to the past as well. They would potentially think that it is historic. It will be on a…

Blue Sky Mine by Midnight Oil is an environmental song complaining about the dreadful tragedy of Wittenoom. The title – Blue Sky Mine – describes the blue asbestos mine at Wittenoom, and is used ironically to illustrate the deprived working conditions of the workers of the mine. The fast passed and rhythmic introduction creates an enthusiastic and ecstatic mood showing how the Colonial Sugar Refining Ltd sent subliminal messages to Australians inferring that mining is an easy way to get rich.…

I rode the dirt bike safely and at a normal speed for five minutes and then me, my dad and my brother finally ended the trail. We were on the open area and just like the sign at the beginning said there were a lot of dirt hills everywhere. We figured out that we had about ten minutes left until we needed to start driving back to the car and then go home. So we decided to hang out around the hills and ride around on the hills. We did a few jumps and we were about to leave when I went way to…
