Wolf Camp Short Story

“The Devils Thumb and Everest” Climbing mountains can be extremely dangerous. Jon Krakaeur and Erik Weihenmayer both wrote stories to tell us all about it. Jon Kraukaeur wrote the story “The Devils Thumb” about climbing a mountain in Alaska all alone. Kraukaeur has climbed mountains all his life and has written many books about it. Erik Weihenmayer wrote the story “Everest” about reaching the summit of Mount Everest as a blind person.

We belonged to the club for ten years. Many interesting, dangerous, and fascinating things happened on our weekend trips. I could write a book just about snowmobiling. But I will only bore you with a couple of my stories. The habitual procedure was that we would travel to a different city in northern Michigan every other weekend during the winter months.

At 44AD when I was one year old, my family moved into one of the top floor in the insulae at Rome. We only had one room and there was no sunlight and no running water, which means no bathroom (Ancient History Encyclopedia: Roman Daily Life 4). My family dreamed to live in a tabernae at Palatine Hill, and with a small pool, many bedroom, libraries, offices, kitchen, and most importantly bathroom, but only wish I had was not to be kicked out of the house we lived in and no disaster will happen (Ancient History Encyclopedia: Roman Daily Life 5). My parents always talk about their life when they lived down town, where the clean water flows and no pressure of rent, that they met each other and got married, and to earn more money our family moved in to this apartment that we had to live in fear and depress. I had beg them everyday to move back to the town and I will work for them in the field, but they always said that I have six siblings that they need to feed and told me not to be selfish.

Thick, round tears rolled down my cheeks and dripped off my furry chin as I put the skull down and headed into the forest, blood trailing my steps. 3 Days Ago… “Ms. Cormier, to the principal’s office again,” Mrs. Li said shaking her head and ticking her tongue. “This is your third time in in the last two days.” I sat down on a black leather couch. My wavy, dark brown hair, dyed with berry blue low-lights hung over my shoulders and dripped down my hip.

Snowfall is a pretty sight, the world is still; no movement, even the air stays still. When you look up at the cloudy gray sky and see the snowflakes fall they float down in a graceful path that would make ballerinas look clumsy. It 's a euphoric moment almost, the kid inside you wakes up and without thinking everyones impulsive habit is to scream “It 's snowing!” and raise their hands to the sky asking for more. In this case, I wanted less snow. Leo and I have been driving along highway 25 for only two hours, once we left colorado springs we noticed the first of the snowflakes fall about 30 minutes out.

The deer ran away about 60 yards from where I killed it. I couldn’t even believe it. I called and texted my mom she couldn’t even believe it. We had to wait a few minutes to see where it was because if it was still alive we didn’t want to scare it off. We waited 5 minutes but during those five minutes me and my dad celebrated and hugged for probably 2 minutes.

We repeat a pattern of: go out, explore new trails, get lost, and somehow find our way back each time, but today is different. Today we are going to Custer’s Peak, this is the moment I have been waiting for all week. Ever since I got here, the locals and other people in my group have been telling me that the view here is something unlike anything back in Minnesota. It takes us about 20 minutes of driving up a steep incline but now we are at the top and this is, by far, the best view I have ever seen. I was told this was one of three huge fire watch towers so I can see for many miles is each direction.

Wolves can run up to 24 miles per hour. Most animals they hunt can run faster, but wolves can run tirelessly for hours and can leap as high as one-story buildings. Wolves used to live all over North America, Europe, and Asia, but after the 1950’s wolf populations survived only in northern Minnesota and Alaska in the United States, in Canada, northern Europe, and northern Asia. Now they are making a comeback in other areas because scientists recognize their important role as apex predators. Wolves can live in any type of climate except for the desert and the highest mountains.

Peg stated, “For the first time since my paralysis set in, I realized there was something worse than having polio.” She is referring to having a family who couldn 't visit or abandoning her. Alice was abandoned by her parents at the young age of 3, Dorothy could not go home because there was no one to care and tend to her needs and her parents try to visit once a month, Shirley’s family live too far to visit often so come only once every few months, and Renee’s family also lived very far away (200

I strolled the streets for what felt like eternity, to the point in which I could not stand the sight of the country’s flag anymore. Flags of equally horizontal bands of red, white and black with an eagle in the center were everywhere as there was another round of elections for a new president. I obviously did not give a rat’s butt about politics in this country because it simply never got me anywhere. I was a needy homeless 4 years ago, I am a needy homeless now and I will remain a needy homeless in four years, I thought. Folding my arms tightly with each hand under my armpits, I tried my best to warm my body.
