I traverse through the thick trees and uncover a lookout from which all you can see is nature. There is no sign of civilization. There is just green among the steep rocky cliffs across the valley. Below, is the road I was crossing just moments ago. As I continue, there are steep avalanche slopes, and run off made into waterfalls.
“I would adopt a standpoint irrespective of whether someone was for or against it, if I felt deeply that it was right for the movement,” said Alfred Rosenberg. He was responsible for overseeing the transportation of stolen artworks from Vichy, France to Germany. He knew exactly what was happening with the artwork. Alfred Rosenberg Declared, “From education by the Miller 4 Church to education by Germanic value is a step of several generations.” There isn't much known about his family's life after World War Two other than they survived and his second wife, Hedwig, was widowed.
Giovanni “John” Caboto Giovanni “John” Cabot was a successful, and adventurous Italian explorer/navigator, who is known for making big discoveries. He is known for discovering and claiming land in Canada, and somewhere in North America off the coast of the Labrador Peninsula. John Cabot was raised in Bristol, England and was born into a wealthy family. His family would buy spices and sell them, (at the time spices were really expensive and rare to find). In addition, just like Christopher Columbus he was search for Asia (but actually founded North America), and was also in search for the Northwest Passage.
5. While My Antonia and A Wagner Matinée (written by Willa Cather) are stories that differ greatly in the aspect of narrators and occurrences, both of these pieces have similar themes. They both show an appreciation towards the prairie and how the prairie affected the lives of the people who lived off of them. Both the main characters of these works first saw desolation in the prairie, then came to see the actual beauty in it. In Book I (The Shimerdas) of My Antonia, Jim Burden described Nebraska on page 11 as “There seemed to be nothing to see; no fences, no creeks or trees, no hills, or fields…
He was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal in 1960 for his work, and on July 22, 1961, Frost was named poet of Vermont (William H. Pritchard 2000). Frost used imagery to express the world around him. He is known for writing with realistic illustrations of rural life, and his use of controversial speech. Frost often wrote about life around him in New England during the early twentieth century. The time Frost spent in England was one of the most influential times of his life, but sadly it was short-lived.
Assigned to the Twentieth Regiment Massachusetts Volunteers, this scholar-warrior learned in July 1861 of his commission as a first lieutenant as he was walking on a Boston street carrying an open copy of Hobbes’s Leviathan he was reading. That snapshot — newly minted military officer with a classic book in his hand — captures the essence of Holmes at the time. He was simultaneously a soldier and a student.
Hemingway sets the story environment at a train station, with two very different sides of the tracks. This setting proves to be as a metaphor for the choice at hand, an interpretation of life or death. One side reflecting a dry, harsh area, with no trees, and devoid of life, on the other side of the tracks, some distance away “were fields of grain and trees along the banks of the Ebro. Far away, beyond the river were mountains. The shadow of a cloud moved across the field of grain and she saw the river through the trees” (Hemingway 125), which depicts a thriving, plush area, full of life.
I spoke to myself. I examined the environment. It’s nothing like Utah. A scene in Utah flashed in my head; naked trees were shaking violently and thick snow is coating the entire earth. In the other hand, the trees here are barely naked.
When he was on the golf course he was with Judy but now that he is in New York he cannot be with her. All the beauty in Judy and Sherry Island is replaced with New York skies and
Lewis Hine and Walker Evans are two of the most known names in photography. They used photography not just as a tool for capturing people and events, but to bring about change. Their camera's served as a lense into the lives of daily people during harsh times - industrialist America and the Great Depression. The two photographers are very alike in their motives, but have different styles and histories. Lewis Hine was born in Wisconsin in 1874.
He helped create a province that had rights that were best for his people and in doing so, solidified their future. He was a rebel and a madman, trying as always, to help the Métis during the North-West Rebellion even as his mental instability began to take hold of him. Until the day he was hanged so controversially, Louis Riel was a man of religion, of politics, and of belief for his culture. His actions influence Canada even today.
The reason Michigan has bluffs is because when Glaciers move they do not pick up their ‘feet’. Instead, they bulldoze the landscape picking up everything in their path. Including rocks, organic matter, and even possibly a sloth with a broken leg, the list is inexhaustible. When the glacier stops its advance these objects have been moved hundreds of miles over thousands of years. All of the grinding of giant rocks now leaves sand clay and gravel.
Haviland was drawing up prison designs for Rhode Island, New York, Virginia and Pittsburgh. Although Haviland’s heart and time seemed to resign in Pennsylvania because most of his projects and time seemed to be spent there. He created the prison in Harrisburg in 1841, another on in Reading in 1849 and finally before his death he was able to see the completion of the Lancaster

Looking around to see if there is something that could be preserve in the archeological record, something that is little representative of our society I came across a iron sculpture. A twisting steel in the grass right a little down from the runners path close too the lake. It was a heart sculpture made out of iron. The sculpture is one big piece of iron, twisted on top like a spring making an heart.
