After the long work-year, most are exhausted from the daily grind. That's why many Americans dream of having a summer getaway. Those who choose to leave home often travel to Europe; the vast and culturally diverse continent across the Atlantic. While the allure of a European adventure will draw many to journey to the continent, North America is an alternative destination with several benefits. Considering the easy-accessibility and nature that our own continent has to offer, having your summer vacation in North America rather than Europe is preferable. One of the major reasons to stay in North America is the ease of accessibility. Europe is roughly four-thousand miles (give-or-take, depending on the start point) from North America. Flights to Europe from America can be eleven to twenty hours, depending on the destination. Such long flights are not desirable, comfortable or fun (especially if you have children who need to be kept happy and sane for that amount of time). Not to mention, flights of this duration can cost thousands of dollars per-person during the peak …show more content…

In this autobiographical narrative A Summer Life, Gary Soto vividly recreates the guilt felt by a six-year-old boy who steals an apple pie. Through his visceral reminiscence he shows us the adolescent ignorance about morals and the understanding of religion. The story is a journey about his guilt, paranoia and then - understanding of what he has done. When people have to choose a decision that is based between right and wrong, and they choose wrong, it is often that they then battle the guilt that eats at them after. Soto uses somewhat of a humorous telling of the experience that is shown through imagery, diction, and biblical allusions.
Imagine the United States, our United States, without Crater Lake Nation Park (OR), Yosemite National Park (CA), Devil’s Tower (WY), The Grand Canyon (AZ), the Muir Woods (CA), and El Morro (NM), to name a few. These national parks and national monuments may not exist if it weren’t for the thoughtfulness, passion, and dedication of Theodore “Teddy” Roosevelt and many other likeminded naturalists and conservationists of the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century. Roosevelt’s contributions to conservation in the United States of America are extensive. There has been no other President in the history of the United States who has done more for the conservation of the country’s public lands and wildlife than “Teddy” Roosevelt.
Francis had to experience many different things when moving to America. Any person from another country that speaks a different language would have trouble in a new place. I am going to tell you about the changes you have to make to come in a different placed. The hardest thing to get used to is the language; everything is more difficult when you don’t know the language. Even to get a job is harder you might not know what your boss is asking and get fired.

Some of the reasons how they supported their goal to preserve nature are they admired the place. Also, they fought for nature. Finally, they spent time in nature.
The Grand Canyon is a remarkably interesting and beautiful place, as Walker Percy refers to in his essay “The Loss of Creature”. How can sightseers hold the same “value P” if they possess “the symbolic complex which has already been formed in the sightseer’s mind” (Percy1)? In his essay, Percy discusses his theory that humans aren’t getting the full value of life because they live off of preconceptions and expectations. Percy provides the reader with a number of examples to help illustrate his point in which he believes to be “The Loss of Creature”. The descriptions of the couple on vacation in Mexico and the difference between the Falkland Islander and the student at Scarsdale High School are two of his more interesting examples.
Imagine waking up in a house that is not your home. You do not know what the morning routine is, what is eaten for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, or even know what is and what is not appropriate behavior. In the movie Coming to America which was directed by John Landis, Eddie Murphy’s character, Prince Akeem, is in for a cultural shift when he decides to move from Africa to Queens, New York in order to find his princess.

There is also land and the benefits of it are cash crop and able to better economically.
The US experienced massive immigration from Europe in the 1800s, which saw millions of people across the Atlantic to the New World. These people came from all corners of Europe including Ireland, Germany, Italy, Norway, and other scores of other nations and provinces. The people came as young men and women in search of jobs, others as families fleeing religious persecution and others as political radicals who were fleeing from the police. In addition, others came as farmers in search of land and a new start for that matter, and as paupers hardly capable of affording the rites of passage. This was the first wave of immigrants that shaped the US in considerable ways.
With human advancement, technology has taken on a life of its own. The current American society’s reliance on digital support has caused it to forget the importance of its humanity. The novelist, Wallace Stegner, wrote in a letter to argue for the preservation of the wilderness in order to help restore the spirituality and historical values of America, which he sent to David E. Pesonen, a research assistant for the Wildland Research Center at the University of California. His claim relays that the remaining wilderness needs to be preserved as much as possible because American society needs to remember and appreciate its ancestral roots. While he used primarily pathos as his method of persuasion, his argument lacks factual information and mentions minimal credibility.
As I ponder over my life, each memory seems identical to the other, and I find myself drifting through a reality of similar events that generate the same memories and emotions. Looking back further into my childhood includes memories of my homeland. I remember entering a new world at the age of five, where all of my later memories would be formed. This was when my family moved to the United States from Peru, my native country in the South. The complete change in culture and values truly impacted me when I first moved to Florida, and I reflect over the significant effect it has had on my character during the last thirteen years of my life.
