The Northeast Range High School forestry class, taught by Mr. Lindsay, and art class, taught by Mrs. Anderson, located in Babbitt, Minnesota arranges students with a unique encounter. To provide students with a fun learning experience, the two classes host a biennial ice fishing field trip on the local lake of Birch Lake. Understanding the possibilities involved are fundamental to deciding to those considering joining the event. For any people who are unsure about future ice fishing trips with the Northeast Range Forestry and Art class netting these passages will catch your attention. For a twenty student bus trip the ride was mostly quiet, aside from the annoying humming of the engine and the annoying shuttering of the windows. The older students apart of the forestry class were more inclined to be talking about their future catchings, but the younger participants focused on silly conversation. Instead of joining in the talk, a couple students in the back, not even a seat away, curled up with their hands firmly placed on their knees and staring blankly outside their almost spiffy bus window. Their uncertainties seemed to be within reason, taking account of the conditions …show more content…
If not for the wind direction, the wall would have proven to be of great help in search of a protected site for a warm fire and fishing. Alas, pressing on was of the better bet, leading the group onto the mainland. Despite being rocky, this newly discovered area provided incredible protection from the domineering evergreens and their shrubs that guarded the lake. Under the large trees, a space could be easily cleared for a camp and a nice campfire, between frozen tree roots, that was just a few feet above the lake, until the disappointing discovery of a cabin just a few more feet above the

The figurative walls in the novel are much harder to pin point than those that are literal. Candido’s father showed him that when he is “…lost or hungry or in danger, ponte pared, make like a wall” (Boyle
Every school bus has a hierarchy, a caste system. The cool crowd the kids who smoke, come to class with hickies, and get into enough trouble to be the secret envy of the honor roll students occupies the back rows. The cheerleaders and star athletes take the middle seats. The serious students sit near the front. The nerds and the outcasts never know where they'll end up. If they're lucky, they can find an empty seat directly behind or to the right of the driver. (8)
This vacation spot White describes through memories of his boyhood days always seemed to be so wonderful no matter what had gone wrong. White recalls the time when "[his] father rolled over in a canoe" and another time when "[they] all got ringworm" but none of this mattered in the long run, after all, this was the best place on earth. To White the mountain lake is seen as "constant and trustworthy", and on the trip back there with his own son, White wondered if "time would have marred" the appearance of the lake. Thoughts of the time spent there summer after summer continued to revisit White throughout the trip and everything from thunderstorms to the stillness of the water
Between study group, debate, and chess tournaments there wasn’t much of a social scene around Winchester University in Omaha, Nebraska. The school year at this college was year round, but the students were given a 30 day summer vacation in July. The majority of the students went back home to visit their families during this time. But as juniors at the University Charles, Fredrick, and Stanley, all childhood buddies, decided it was time for a change and that they needed a little more spice in their life. Realizing that they were almost twenty-one and had never breached their comfort zone, they knew a road trip was in store.
A description of the wall is necessary in order to provide a base for comparison with the rest of the story. Because we only get the narrator s point of view, descriptions of the wall become more important as a way of judging her deteriorating mental state. When first mentioned, she sees the wall as a sprawling, flamboyant pattern committing every artistic sin, (Gilman 693) once again emphasizing her present intellectual capacity. Additionally, the w...
After this lesson, I will take the students down to the pond so that we can look at the different animals that might be down there. Usually there are geese in this pond and if there are any when we are down there, I can have the students compare them to each other.

The Truth Behind the Bus There are many controversial issues concerning the bus service provided by Buena Vista University. BVU Rides, commonly known as the “Drunk Bus,” receives great reviews from the students using it at Buena Vista. However, members of the Storm Lake community are not as appreciative of this service. It is important, nonetheless, that people learn facts about BVU Rides in order to make an educated judgment. According to Behind the Arch, an essay compiled by students of Buena Vista University about the drinking issues within the university, citizens of Storm Lake feel that the “Drunk Bus” endorses drinking and drunkenness.
The observation exercise was carried out on the upper deck of a London Bus on a weekday evening and lasted approximately fifteen minutes. The subjects of the observation were a male in his late twenties that appeared to be of Afro-Caribbean origin and a female of a similar age with an Eastern European accent. The male was wearing a tracksuit and had a set of headphones hanging over his shoulders. The girl was dressed in smart-casual clothes. They were sitting next to each other and were having a conversation. At the time of the observation there were not empty seats on the bus. I carried out the observation from a relatively close distance, a couple of seats away from the observed individuals.
There is an indescribable felling that occurs at Horseshoe Lake. It is a feeling of mild comfort and much needed relaxation mixed with exhilaration. The comfort comes from the light breeze, which quickly comes and goes while you are fishing. It is this breeze that allows your fishing line to float one way or another, thus doing the luring for you. The tall oak trees provide shade that prevents you f...
Since ice fishing is a risky activity, it is crucial do certain things before attempting to step over the ice. This article explores five of them as follows.
One Saturday night, Kasi, Beth, Beka, Amy, and I had nothing to do. Like always, at times like this, we decided we would ride around town. We let the top down on Kasi’s vehicle. It was a red Jeep Wrangler, with red interior and big mud tires. We climbed in the Jeep one by one until we were all inside. Amy, Beka, and Beth all sat in the back after a fight about who had said “shotgun” first. The back was the most uncomfortable. The Jeep was only built for two backseat passengers, so with three back there, it was a tough ride. Kasi and I slid into the front seats. We strapped on our seatbelts, trying to convince the three of them in the back to do so. Our friends did not want to bother strapping in because they were too crowded, and there were only two seatbelts anyway. I was sixteen at the time, and they were all seventeen. We were the perfect picture of youth, five young girls packed into a Jeep with shorts, sweatshirts, and ball caps on.
Two young men swaggered past me: confident, heads held high, eyes focused on their destination. I leaned over, looking down the long row of benches, curious to find out where they were going. Their confidence lagged a bit as they approached a large group of their peers, including several young ladies. All of them exhibited signs of discomfort as the girls crossed their arms over their nubile bodies and the boys tried hard not to stare.
