Fall Hike in October
I’m running out of my house, slamming the door behind me and shouting, “I’m free!” at the top of my air-filled pink lungs. I get a few weird looks from the neighbors that are outside and a few from even the one’s inside but they’re used to my usual crazy outbursts. I don’t know if I should be worried by that or not. Into my little gray car I go and then it happens. I am speed. Down the winding and twisting roads to Preston, Iowa where I love to go hiking in my grandparents timbers. While I’m driving possibly a ton over the speed limit I scream-sing Pink Floyd on the little cars full volume. There’s no stopping me now, brothers.

The sunlight is shining through the dying trees, which are ironically the most beautiful creatures that I have ever laid my eyes on. These beauties just need to be appreciated more, …show more content…

My old ripped jeans fit just right with holes in them not manufactured in a factory. GASP! Surprise, surprise. The fuzzy and thick cable knit sweater I’m wearing is what I’ll probably be wearing for the next four months and if he died I would cry until I killed the person who took his life too soon.

Personal Narrative: My First Vietnam War
449 Words | 2 Pages
As a new British soldier, the war was a very scary experience, even if we were told that this was the greatest army in the world going against the weakest army around. The Americans had built a ditch of some sorts to hide in during the battle, only popping out every few seconds to fire their guns in our direction. We, of course, fired back but were behind and quickly falling since we had always been taught to load our muskets. Which weren’t even used for battle, accurately not quickly, which the Americans were keen in. I watched in horror as soldiers around me fell to the ground with bullet wounds in their chest, legs, head, and every disturbing and painful place you can imagine.

529 Words | 3 Pages
Wordsworth and Muir express their fascination with nature using imagery and mood. In “Calypso Borealis”, John Muir states that he finds himself “glorying in the fresh cool beauty and charm of the bog and meadow heathworts, grasses, carices, ferns, mosses, liverworts displayed in boundless profusion” (Muir).
