Hunter Riendeau 10/20/2016 Hour 3 Biking 8.2 miles It was a bright and sunny morning up in Mackinaw we had went to the island around noon so when we got there it was lunch but we had to eat so we found a restaurant a pizza buffet and had eaten. My friend Ethan and I were ready to start biking so once we had left the buffet to start biking my friend Ethen had gotten ahead of all of us but he was too far ahead so I caught up to him and told him to stop and wait but then my Mom and Dad agreed that

I jammed my hands into my pockets as I squinted at the blurry mass of snow that swirled dizzyingly in front of my eyes. I cursed my lack of forethought about gloves as my hands grew colder and stiffer in my pockets. I had dragged myself out of my warm bed, slid across my icy porch, and slowly trudged down our unplowed street to my pond. It felt like everything had changed since the last time I had come to the pond. The ground had been unevenly covered in brown leaves in the fall. Now it was covered

My buddy and I went out and did a lot of scouting before opening day of archery season. There was a group of deer that we had been watching with a couple of bucks, after watching them for a few weeks we had figured out their pattern, and we had gotten a lot of pictures of them on the trail camera. My buddy and I thought that we had a really good chance of getting a buck on opening day. The day before opening day we drove up to the spot where we were going to camp that night. We got up to our

I scratched at my forearms, itching for another fix. The light from my phone illuminated my face as I checked my text messages from my dealer, hoping soon he would be at the meeting place, cause I was cold. The wind whipped at my face as I walked up to the abandoned hotel where I was told to meet. The hotel had been standing alone for almost a hundred years now and was completely deserted other than occasional junkie or homeless person that milled about. People in this town barely even knew it was

In Cormac McCarthy’s The Road the reader is faced with a bleak post-apocalyptic world that is, as John Freeman describes it, “…a tale without a speck of hope” (Freeman). There is very little, if anything, that the reader can grab ahold of to hope for a better ending for the two main characters. But others like Gilbert and Dansby assert that the hope lies in the child, the one good thing in the story free of the corruption present in the book. Can such a world have any sort of hope for two people

The road to any desired destination is individualistic and often hindered with difficulties. Dante Alighieri’s epic poem “Dante’s Inferno” and Robert Frost’s well known poem “The Road Not Taken” present the obstacles and choices made by two men. The approach and decisions made by Dante and Frost ultimately produce the similarities and differences between both poems. “Dante’s Inferno” and “The Road Not Taken” center around locational, situational and representational aspects of life and fate. The

Deep-Grained Love “A Worn Path” “’Out of my way, all you foxes, owls, beetles, jack rabbits, coons and wild animals! Keep the big wild hogs out of my path. Don’t let none of those come running my direction. I got a long way’” (92) English Literature, Robert Diyanni. A Worn Path is an eloquent story, written in third person narration with colorful language that draws the reader deeper into the plot and the setting of the story. Throughout the story, the word old appears more than twenty times.

In the midst of immorality, God always provides a solution. Although the world has been close to complete immorality in the past, morality has never ceased to exist. The world in The Road by Cormac McCarthy is very close to amorality, but God shows that he is working through the man and boy. McCarthy uses two Biblical allusions to Israel to create two themes for the reader. The first is an allusion of the man and boy’s journey to the exodus of Israel out of Egypt. This allusion shows that the

In Richard Wagamese’ novel, Medicine Walk, he narrates the journey of a distanced father and son who are searching for an understanding, love and forgiveness. Wagamese portrays this by using clever humour, authentic dialogue, and outstanding storytelling skills. Medicine Walk clearly illustrates the story of a father’s redemption through storytelling and of a son finding connections to the world through his family’s past. The novel brings us along a journey into the past recounting Eldon’s life story

Cormac McCarthy adapts and changes traditional archetypes in his novel, “The Road” to support the theme of extreme skepticism interfering with basic everyday things, such as moving on from the past. McCarthy uses archetypes such as “The Innocent One”, “Good versus Bad”, “The Journey”, and “The Philosopher” to display to his audience the idea that these archetypes contribute to one of the woes of postmodernism -- extreme skepticism. The archetype of “The Innocent One” contributes to the theme of extreme
