I got 57 leis around my neck and head, and I even swam with them on. Max and I were on a canoe. We chased other people who were in canoes and paddle boats and splashed them with our paddles. After that we got about 20 people onto the dock. We all got to one corner and the dock would start to tip. I was at the very corner, so by the time everybody had to jump off I was waist deep in the water. We ate pulled pork sandwiches and had chips for dinner and then headed back to camp. When we got back that night the power was out. My cabin counselor knew some people in Nauvoo, and he got a generator from them. We had extension cords everywhere and everyone had their fans plugged in. Max was sleeping on the bunk above me and we were next to the window.

    721 Words  | 3 Pages

    Stories from the Civil War often are told from a man's perspective and rarely from a woman's point of view. In 1902, Susie King Taylor wrote her memoir, Reminiscences of My Life in Camp with the 33d United States Colored Troops Late 1st S. C. Volunteers, to explain her role in the war as a wife to a soldier, the regiments' laundress, a teacher, and a nurse. Taylor is famously known for being the first black nurse during the Civil War, but her memoir gives historians a closer look at her life and multiple roles during the war. In 1848, Taylor was born into slavery in Savannah, Georgia.

  • Camp 14 Summary

    792 Words  | 4 Pages

    Theme 1: Family– In North Korean concentration camps and North Korea in general, there was no concept of “family”. Shin was born and raised in the concentration camp, and he did not have a loving or caring relationship with his mother, father, or brother. Shin even saw his mother as another competitor, and he rarely spoke or interacted with his brother. “When he was in the camp–depending on her [his mother] for all his meals, stealing her meals, enduring her beatings–he saw her as a competition for survival,” (16). Outside of the camps, North Koreans also turned in whoever spoke out or went against the leaders of the country, and their rule, even if it was their family members.

    People who have ever been camping or have housed in general must be knowledgeable of two things: To carry extensive hardware on information for any situation or person, and to never abandon the guest while they’re on your territory. On September 11-13th, my Pathfinder club, “Lighthouse Falcons,” was invited to campout with another scout group called Shekinah at Easterlin Park to give the kids the experience of camping with only your wits to procure survival. However, it was less than traditional of the camp counselors to allow car batteries to operate a microwave to heat up fresh food that didn’t involve them efforts in making. Otherwise, common campers like our group used the fire to fry our dough and hot dogs to perfection for a well deserving meal. Cheaters will exist with identities of their own but in this campground I knew little of what could happen next.
