Enumclaw Observation Report
After hoping the fence to get to the trail to begin the ridged hike, birds chirped and you could occasionally hear a branch break deep in the woods. Walking up the narrow hill through the deep forest was my favorite thing in the world. I felt free and had no worry in the world. And the view at the top of the mountain was even better. The beginning of the hike for probably a mile is a very calm and nice walk, but it starts to incline more and more from their. The trail opens up to huge clear cuts. through one of the clear cuts is a perfect view of Enumclaw. as you pass the clear cuts the trail begins to narrow again. The trail begins to become very steep and lesser of a trail. Cutting through harsh terrain for s short time that led to the last

    First, when you begin your ride it starts with a small inertia jerk, you can feel the exhilaration as you creep up the slope of the first hill at a constant speed. Whenever you get to the peak you can see an amazing view, and since you have the highest potential energy you get only a few seconds before you are going downhill at 100 miles per hour. Before long, as you come towards the bottom there are three loops, each 35 feet…

    In this book Bill Bryson is planning on hiking the entire 2,220 miles of the Appalachian Trial. He wanted to reacquaint himself with nature and his inner sense of self. In the beginning of the book he thought he would have to take this journey alone but he was joined by an old friend who he hadn’t talked to in a while. As he and Stephen Katz; his friend that had joined him started hiking the Appalachian Trial they were off pace and slow and they both hiked at different paces so they rarely hiked together. When I think about how slow and difficult the beginning was for them, it reminds me of how you will be as you begin your new journey, it will be completely new to you. There will be hardships there will be competition there will be new experiences that you will have to learn to deal with. There will be no one by your side telling you what turn to make next. They had a road map to tell them where to go and which way to turn but you do not, you have to make your own decisions and choose the path that you want to take without knowing the outcome or knowing where it leads.…

    The author uses both captivating diction and imagery to highlight his fascination with Everest while retaining an underlying ominous mood. Like many, the alluring quality of the mountain entices Krakauer and he becomes obsessed with the idea of conquering it. On the way to camp four, the author stops on the crest of the Spur to note that “the thin air had a shimmering, crystalline quality that made even distant peaks seem close enough to touch. Extravagantly illuminated by the midday sun, Everest’s summit pyramid loomed through intermittent gauze of clouds” (Krakauer 160). By using words such as “shimmering”, “crystalline”, “extravagantly” and “illuminated”, the author expresses the mysterious and enchanting beauty of the mountain and creates a visual image that allows the audience to experience and appreciate it as well. Although he is climbing in extremely harsh conditions, Krakauer focuses on the beauty of his surroundings, demonstrating his fascination with the mountain and his romanticized attitude towards Everest. However, by describing the mountain as “looming” through the “gauze” of clouds, the author hints at a harsh attitude towards Everest as well as a foreboding mood that is constantly surrounding him. Yet Krakauer is blinded by the elusiveness of Everest and recognizes the danger as an inescapable part of his journey to reach the summit. Furthermore, the author also uses imagery along with diction to express his attitude towards Everest and its surroundings. While leaving the Col, Krakauer notices that “the night had a cold,…

    The journey to Mooney’s Bay felt inevitably long as I was anxious throughout the whole trip. We finally arrived at Mooney’s Bay and towed our toboggans up the hill.

    We were all geared up and ready to start our trail down the mountainous slopes. I tried to veer off from the group director to try to stand over the edge of a canyon but it was heavily fenced. The top part of the canyons were viewable but the wall did a great job of restricting the rest of the view. Anxiously, I was walked to the inside of the orientation building. There, the supervisors went over plenty…

    The trail continued around the east side of the lake entering a gathering of trees forming an insignificant forest along the lake’s shoreline. From our viewpoint, the trees concealing the trail eventually dispersed on the southeast side of the lake, and the trail blended into the landscape. Using our imagination, we envisioned the route against the rugged terrain sloping into the lake. No point in taking a vote now, we had trekked to the lake and the consensus was to proceed with a lap around the lake.…

    Bill Bryson the author of the short story ‘A Walk in the Woods' constructs the story in a certain way to try to get the reader to accept his attitudes and values about how dangerous and death defying Earl V. Shaffer and other's are in attempting to travel the trail. He uses the techniques of emotive language, unusual language and use of first hand accounts in the short story ‘A Walk in the Woods‘ . The use of descriptive and humorous language, combined with conversational text has allowed Bryson to express his feelings and opinions on his and others experiences on the Appalachian Trail to the audience. <br><br>The language that the author uses in the short story is very emotive and expressed the feeling which have been felt by others on the trail. The author uses emotive language throughout the story to position us to feel amazed and astonished toward Earl V. Shaffer's 2000 mile journey on the trail. "He spent long periods bushwhacking over tangled mountains or following the wrong path when the trail forked.", this text shows that Shaffer was a tough and sturdy and wouldn't give up for any reason. " On the other hand, even the dustiest little hamlets nearly always have a store of café, unlike now, and generally when he left the trail he could count on a country bus to flag down for a lift to the nearest town". The reader is also told that he might have been helped along the way, so suspicion arises. "...Reduced to a rutted, muddy track…" shows that the trail conditions at times were anything but perfect. ‘Rutted' and ‘muddy' describe the Appalachian Trail as an almost tough and hardy trail to trek across. "The trail Shaffer found was nothing like the groomed and orderly corridor that exists today" shows how the Appalachian trail appears to Bryson and portrays to the audience a trail affected by modern societies requirement of health and neatness. 'orderly' and 'groomed' are used to portray an image of a beautiful trail that is set out neatly, far from what Shaffer…

    I remember reaching the top of the hill with a very excited feeling. As I got to the top, the instructor at the top helped me off the chair. I waited for the other instructor to explain how I control my movements. While he was talking, all I thought about was hitting a tree and embarrassing myself. I just stood there looking at his red nose and chapped lips. He finally said something I found useful, he told me to lean whichever way I wanted to steer. After he finished explaining, I just went down that big hill of snow.…
