Autumn Burrow Research Paper
It suddenly turns into a cold and rainy day in my hometown of Autumn Burrow. Damp and mellow was what my town felt like today. Autumn Burrow's the place where everyone works day and night, and urban myths and rumors of weird encounters with weird creatures. Such as vagabonds, shadows, or any other type of phenomena. I never have actually seen a ghost roaming around town, but it would be a weird experience if I ever saw one. Today, I plan to make a trip to Autumn Burrow's deep forest to find even more mysterious species, and to see if all the urban legends about the monster are true. I then start to gather all of my belongings: a satchel, my journal and pencil, and my beige trench coat. I set foot out of my lovely, wooden home, and headed on down over to Autumn Burrow's timber lands. I then start to grab my journal and pencil out of my satchel and record how I felt as of now. “This forest has already given me a sense of unease. The noise of crunching leaves beneath my feet, and the vibe of someone lurking behind me. This experience has already turned the tables on me, and I feel …show more content…
I met a ghost-like being called a "wisp". Little wisp was like a transparent shadow with blank, white eyes. It seemed so innocent, but yet little to no information was coming from it. I went on to try to describe the other larger, and more taller-looking beast I saw today. But I couldn't quite grasp on a clear image of it since it did move at great speed. However, it was only just a simple shadow monster that might have a connection to Little Wisp. They seem to look like similar beings, but they both are different in size. "I could probably figure this stuff out later, seems too complicated to think of it now", I said to myself. Later on, I then start to write another short entry into my journal before I rest for the night. I want to make sure that I recap the events I had to witness just minutes

    Snowy Owl Research Paper

    A snowy owl will live out the entire course of its life in the open artic in most cases, while others will migrate out of the arctic tundra. They will hunt, eat, mate, reproduce, and die where they reside. The largest bird in the artic, by a weight of up to six pounds, the snowy owl stands roughly two feet tall (National Georaphic). The snowy owl is a fearless hunter and strong protector. The snowy owls are diurnal, hunting mainly during the day unlike most species of owls that tend to be nocturnal. They mainly live in isolated and remote regions of the greater north; this protects them from human interaction. Snowy owls are immensely protective over their home, hunting grounds, and offspring.…

    Everly noted. “I can still...” Rebel’s voice faltered as she collapsed to the floor and grunted in pain. In the woods on the trails there lived restless trees. These weren’t friendly, helpful trees with very good intentions, nor yet unwavering, calming trees that could make your day: they were uneasy, attacking trees, and that means trouble.…

    I could hear the blood pumping in my ears, away from the situation, and I started calming my breathing. I headed back to camp, content with trying to forget what I heard. The heavy footsteps of a creature larger than simple game. Almost as though just hiding from me, either to prepare to pounce, or to hide. What bothered me most however, was not that it was seemingly a creature who just wanted to hide, but that it hid. It sounded like a large creature, but a deer would have run, and a wolf would attack, followed by others. What was that? As I reached the campsite, the flames of my fire were softly dancing as though doing a waltz. I checked all of camp, but all the food and supplies I had gathered were gone. I headed back into the woods to the spot where I heard the rustle of leaves. The forest was still unsettlingly still, so I made the point to make my presence be known. I searched for any signs of where my belongings could have ended up. I stumbled upon a skinned deer. With that I knew I was not alone. I searched further, and found the hide on the ground near the river. I lifted it, wondering why any creature would skin a deer just to leave the hide behind not too far…

    The sun shone vibrantly through the trees and I loved the way it complemented the gold leaves. I started to notice the incline to the top of the hill, it was steady unlike the Adirondacks where you go up and down. When I got to the top I saw a spectacular view of the surrounding neighborhoods and way in the distance I saw the buildings of Rochester. As I stood there I admired the pure beauty that lies so close to home. It is hard to believe that a wilderness like this one could be surrounded by suburban neighborhoods. Being higher up and in an open space I could really appreciate the mixture of golds, oranges and yellows it was different than being on regular ground level. I thought to myself ‘’I should do this more often, it’s peaceful and healthy.’’ I felt a certain peace with in me while I’m in the woods, suddenly my phone vibration broke my train of thought. It was my stepmom texting me to see if everything was okay, I replied yes and I’d be back at the trailhead in a short time. The leaves snapped and cracked under my feet on the way back and the crisp fall air made the not yet fallen leaves dance in the trees, it was getting later in the day. I was three quarters through the loop so I was still fine,I wasn’t…

    Tree branches thrust themselves at me as and monstrous bushes slowed my progress. Suddenly I caught a glance of something quickly scurrying by stooped over in the darkness. Freighted I jumped back and scrambled over a giant fallen tree truck covered with moss. And as I rounded a corner I could feel the unseen eyes that watched me.…

    As a child, I was raised my whole life in the country side. My mother and I had lived for years in a lonely shack at the edge of the small village we called home. At the very edge of the village was an eerie forest, a forest that seemed to beckon unwary fools into entering it. I was always told as a child to never go near the forest, especially at night. Some people say that a bear lives there, while others say that a serial killer lives there, and some even say that a monster lives there, either way the forest is always portrayed with death. I remember various occasions in which I would wake up for reasons unknown, only to find myself outside in my backyard staring at the edge of the forest, the soft moonlight caressing my bare skin, the crisp night air followed by the refreshing scent of grass. On one occasion I thought I heard a…

    Unlike the town, the Forest contains no trace of malice. When Pearl tells her mother, “The sunshine does not love you. It runs away and hides itself, because it is afraid of something in your bosom”, she explains that nature responds to morality (165). The forest can discern between innocence and sin. It is untamed and wild. When rain comes, the water “transmutes the yellow fallen leaves to gold”, signifying the raw beauty that dwells in the forest (183). The rose bush beside the jail resembles good among…

    The crisp winter air blew my hair this way and that, creating knots that would take strenuous effort to undue. However, this did not bother me in the least. The breeze filled my lungs with air and my heart with a yearning for adventure. Maybe it was the breeze or the moon that led me into the woods, or maybe it was fate itself. Putting on my leather boots, I trudged into the dark trees, asking for trouble. But that was how I was a few months ago, troublesome and curious, always waiting for the next big thing to happen. I used to live in anticipation, now I live in remorse and regret. The snow crunched under my boots, and an owl hooted from a nearby branch. As my green eyes adjusted to the darkness, a shadow appeared in the distance. Careful not to make a noise, I slowly inched my way closer to the hooded figure. A single thought surged…

    forest

    As you go deeper into the never-ending forest the outside world closes. Not a house, a car or a person in sight, all alone in an enchanted forest. The trees stand together yet are still completely alone. They are like shadows, haunting one another. I looked up at the glistening, starry leaves, gleaming like raindrops. The sounds of the rattling of tiny plants, grass, and swirling leaves on the ground was almost completely silent, only the wind that made the whistling sounds among the bare trees was the only sound that was deafening to my ears. Colors shimmer everywhere, shades of golden reds and oranges, bright yellow, moss green, the dusty brown of the tree trunks and the enchanted light at the end of the road as if it is leading me to a magical place. The treetops are catching the last bit of sunlight before the sun goes down for the day. I hear the soft rustling as the trees branches as if whispering to each other. The birds are singing to each other and the buzzing of the bouncing bees. When the clouds are ebony and gray, and the trees are bare, nature says walk in here in this path, if you dare. Where plants rot and trees are colorless, all humans who enter will despair and depress.…

    A small gust of wind passed causing the trees to sway. The leaves of each individual tree vigorously rubbed against each other, and created sounds that were similar to ocean waves. I shut my eyes, took a deep breath, and let the soft, comforting sounds enter my ears as I breathed out. The smell filled my nose with cold air. The scent of leaves and dirt overpowered the rest. It was bitter and strong. It was humid, but cool. My fingers felt moist as I ran them through my hair, detangling strands.…

    As I continue to sit on my front steps I notice that the leaves are changing colors and gracefully falling as if they are dancing. My mother decides to join me and have a little chat, “I don’t know what to do about your brother, I feel like I should give up but I’d be a terrible mom then again I’ve done all that I can.” She starts to cry as I just hold her and tell her, “We will figure it out, Mom.” I continue to hear the trees rustle like they are trying to talk to each other, but this time it’s like they’re arguing. That breeze rustles the leaves and makes my skin shiver — glad I brought my big cozy sweater.…
