Sea Pines Resort Essays

I felt the adrenaline rush through my body. I started moving my limbs erratically. Water began to enter my lungs, and I was unable to establish my composure. I could barely keep myself afloat. The sea water splashed against my eyes. I could taste the salty flavor of the sea. I can vividly remember that I was crying for help, but my cry was muffled by the ocean waves. I was borderline drowning. There was one thing on my mind: death. My life had never been at risk before this. I didn’t

beautiful rainbow or brown trout in your hand, if only for a moment. My first trout fishing trip with my husband was one I’ll never forget. We walked two miles down a long curvy dirt trail riddled with pine trees, armadillos burrowing through the leaves, and the prettiest cardinals I had ever seen. The pine scent filled my nose. It smelled

My house at Carter Lake had a fresh smell, trees surrounded our house and our 13 acres of land. The trees were mostly pine and gave off a strong pine odor at certain times of the year. Most of the time the lake smelt like fish, but some of the time it smelt kind of fresh and just the smell you imagine when you think of nature.

Oz Porter stared down the thickly wooded slope, his gaze fixed on the endless panorama of green. Trees, swaying in the slight breeze. The place had a definite odor, the sweet freshness of pine. He breathed it all in, savoring the familiar tang, the underlying musty aroma of undergrowth and leaf mold. Slowly disintegrating into mulch that would carpet the forest floor and nurture the new growth. He called this place home. It wasn’t home. Home was the small town of Copperville, but they’d been forced

Remnants of a Forgotten Place Silence cloaks the desolate ruins atop the mountain, and an early morning fog wraps its tendrils around the worn stone, slowly thinning as the tentative sun creeps higher into the sky, leaving a path of oranges, pinks, and reds as it goes. Suddenly, the silence is broken by the heavy treading of many sneakers.

My two best friends, Lindsay and Kyle, were both with me planning on going on another adventure around our town, Mill Creek, which, in most places, you would see as a wealthy town. Except for us. Lindsay and Kyle both lived in apartments and I live on a dead end street in a long dark navy blue rambler. We banded together as the loners of Heatherwood mid, Kyle being a grade higher than us though. Lindsay and I met in 5th grade, back at my elementary school, she was the other nerdy half-Asian loner

the past two decades the pine forests of Western North America have experienced major changes due to the Mountain Pine Beetle epidemic that began in 1995. Mountain Pine Beetles are insect parasites that use trees as their hosts in order to mate and lay eggs. After the larva becomes a beetle, the tree is killed and the next generation of beetles set out to find another pine tree and the cycle repeats. Environmentalists have proven the changes in the lifecycle of the pine beetle to be directly correlated

The ambrosia beetle used in this experiment will be Euwallacea sp, otherwise known as the PSHB jeopardizing many tree species in Southern California. Two tree species will be used in this experiment. Koelreuteria paniculata, the golden-rain tree, will be used as an example of a gumming tree and Persea americana, the avocado tree, will be used as the positive control for this experiment as it is a known species of tree endangered by the PSHB/Fusarium complex. The negative control would be a healthy

Ethical Businesses. Which business comes to your mind? Whichever it may be it probably has branded itself as an ethical business through the actions and decisions that company has made.

A constant and pertinent literary metaphor used throughout Beowulf, translated by Charles W Kennedy, is that of the sea. The sea in Beowulf is a single object that not only acts as a place for entertaining battles, but also serves as a plot device that reveals the poem’s contrasting views on religion and death. It also gives validity to Beowulf’s position of power, playing a vital role in his character development, as well as the development of the plot. It is vital for Beowulf, as the poem’s main

Russ Kramer’s painting Far From Home of a small sailboat all alone on the open water can be seen in many different ways, some better than others. In Dorothy Allison’s essay she talks about people hiding their “secret selves” when they look at paintings and how each person has a certain “version of reality” that makes their “secret selves” (595). I agree with Dorothy Allison that everyone sees things differently based on their own personal “version of reality” that is determined by their past experiences

The colours of the painting are the

into a research paper, I am going to make many revisions. Based on your feedback, I will add in more examples. Specifically, more research on the sea turtle example given in my paper. By including additional research about this topic readers will emotionally connect to my topic. I intend to go to the library and find an article about how litter affects sea turtles and statistics on how many injuries and deaths occur because of our litter.
