feeling of home
The location of my grandparents’ farm is very relaxing for me. As I lay on my bed I started to reminisce about how the farm used to look. The farm was distant from all the noise almost as if deserted from society. It was not a fancy house but everything that surrounded it contributes to that special feeling of home. Every summer when I would visit I remembered that it had a tall burgundy fence around it and a very long path to get to the main house. When I would arrive at the farm, I knew that it was special the smell was something unexplainable and unordinary it is definitely nothing like California. It had a mixture of fresh non polluted air, the smell of pigs and cow manure with a little of the smell of crops my grandpa would grow. My grandparents would receive me with a warming hug and my nice hot meal. As the clock would hit four a.m., I could clearly listen as the roosters sang and the bright warming sun would shine throw my window and strike my eyes. After, I would wake up and would run towards my grandpa’s cotton field, in hale a long breathe of fresh air and just absorbed the sunny day. As I admired the view I was able to see miles and miles of green and brown fields, two red big tractors on the far end of the barn, a chicken coop, most of my grandpa’s animals and on the other side of the house was a small canal. Later that day while I was resting against a lemon tree I could hear my grandpa calling out my name from the barn; he wanted me to help him put the last horse away. When I finished, the bright shinny sun went down and the sky blackened the moon almost shine as bright as a sun illuminating a path from the barn to the house. While we walk down the path there was only silence around us, but it was very relaxing. Almost quiet comforting. I looked up to the sky and saw the stars. They sparkled brighter than usual. Felt like I could jump up and just reach out for one. Everything about my grandparents’ farm is warm and comforting place. It all felt like

    The poem reminds me of the time I spent at my aunt’s farm when I was younger. Early mornings checking for eggs in the chicken coop. Remembering the smell of the outdoors intensified by the morning dew. I remember watching my uncle work in the fields of corn while I tended to the animals. Those days on…

    In the poem, “Desert Pilgrimage” by Pat Mora, it dramatizes the conflict between losing the connection with nature and heritage and the desire to keep the connection alive. The speaker walks through a metaphorical desert, which signifies the journey her ancestors took to move from Mexico to the United States, and in this journey, she reconnects with the earth. She spends her day picking flowers, harvesting herbs, and at night she sits on a boulder, looking at the stars. From this admiration of the natural earth, she tries to reconnect with her roots. In specific, she remembers a woman who was a large part of the speaker but now ceases to be in her life. The speaker takes this journey with this woman by looking at aspects of nature that remind her of the woman.…

    Ann and her husband John lived on a farm in rural Saskatchewan in the 1800’s. The couple were living in a largely uninhabited and desolate area of Saskatchewan. It was vast and bleak a wilderness that testifies of human hardihood and endurance. The barrenness of the surroundings in which Anne and John lived was almost unbearable, isolation and loneliness. The prairies of Saskatchewan are covered with snow with blue sky during winter.…

    I noticed how abandoned the farm was. It needs much work. Jake told me about his parent’s death. And how now I am the only family he has. I knew what I had to do. Jake was responsible for the outside and I had to tend to the house. We unloaded the wagon and walked up to the house. It was way bigger then my parent’s home. This house can have fit three of them inside of it. Jake told me it was built in the finest wood that was available in his town. When the doors and windows were open the house came to life. Dust flew with the gust of wind that came in. As a married lady I was the woman of my own house now. It’s my job to make this home for my husband and me. Jake went out to tend to the yards and animals. And I started repairing the house. I like candles in the rooms to burn most of the dust smell. The sun just wasn’t doing its job today. I heated water in a pan to scrub the walls and floors. After all the dust was gone, I heated more water and gathered all the fabrics to clean them. When I was hanging the fabrics on the line I watch Jake feed the horses he looked so busy. Once the house was done I went out to his mothers garden. It needed much help also. I gathered all the vegetables that were ready. Pulled up the weeds that have grown over the time it was not tended to. Golfers poked their heads out, curious with whom was out in their garden. I was on edge, I was afraid of snakes and if there were weeds mice and golfers there…

    The Way to Rainy Mountain

    • 489 Words
    • 2 Pages

    As the story begins I see the description of why the place was considered the Rainy Mountains. First he explains why it was considered an old land mark to his family. Then he began to go into details and what it looks like and what the weather is like. A good description was when Momaday said, “Winter brings blizzards, hot tornadic winds arise in the spring, and in summer the prairie is an anvil’s edge. The grass turns brittle and brown, and it cracks beneath your feet.” This was a good description because it showed me that the grass is dried out and it is brittle. Also the description he gave of his grandmother when she was praying was very descriptive. Momaday stated that, “Her long, black hair, always drawn and braided in the day, lay upon her shoulders and against her breast like a shawl.” I do not know why she prays like that but when I read this I kind of just put two and two together and said that what they do in there tribe.…

    The car plunged from sun drenched desert into tall, dark palms. Into a different world. Inside, the road softened to a track that wound and bumped its way forward over sandy, unimproved soil, shielded from the sun’s glare by walls of greenery. That is, the track came about as close as any vehicleway can to being in harmony with earth and vegetation. But before long it ended; just petered out. A few yards ahead, nestling so naturally among the palms that at first my eye hardly registered it, stood a thatched-roof cabin. Or perhaps the right word is “shanty.” For the place had a definite South Sea Island air. The big stars-and-stripes hanging from a flagpole seemed almost colonial.…

    I was walking home from school. My mom doesn’t like it when I cut through the cornfield instead of walking along the road. She gets worried. She doesn’t like the idea of me in the field, alone and defenseless. That was the worst part about when it got harvested in the fall, at the start of winter. The isolation lures me in. The scent of the newly harvested crop filled the air with every step that hit the ground. It was eerily peaceful. The field had grown dark since I had left the school grounds and the glow from the streetlamps was not luminous enough to reach the dark lengths of the domain.…

    Homelessness is the condition of people without a regular dwelling. People who are homeless are most often unable to acquire and maintain regular, safe, secure, and adequate housing, or lack "fixed, regular, and adequate night-time residence."[1] The legal definition of "homeless" varies from country to country, or among different entities or institutions in the same country or region.[dubious – discuss][2] The term homeless may also include people whose primary night-time residence is in a homeless shelter, a warming center, a domestic violence shelter, a vehicle (including recreational vehicles and campers), cardboard boxes, a tent, tarpaulins, or other ad hoc housing situations. American Government homeless enumeration studies[3][4] also include persons who sleep in a public or private place not designed for use as a regular sleeping accommodation for human beings.[5][6] There are a number of organisations who provide provisions for the homeless for example, The Salvation Army.…

    An Abandoned House

    • 340 Words
    • 2 Pages

    It was a hot, summer's day as I walked on the dirt road with only silence along my side. As I continued on the road I discovered it led to an old abandoned house. I couldn't help but stop for a few minutes and look at the details of the huge, strange shaped house. I noticed that it had been a long time since anybody even took a look at the house. The old house was left to die, alone, with no one to care. The paint was peeling, the windows were broken and the shingles had been torn from the roof, probably by past storms. What caught my eye was that the unkempt yard, it looked like it hadn’t been cut since the house was abandoned, the grass was almost my height and there was nothing but weeds everywhere. I imagined this house would’ve probably been huge and gorgeous in its days. It had three full stories. The fourth floor had an attic where you could sit and see the sunset on the horizon. The house also had a huge porch with large white columns making a fence to support the balcony. The columns were full of dirt; they looked less white and more brownish-black. As I slowly continued to walk past the house, I could hear the wind whistling through the broken windows. I could see the leftovers of the curtains moving gently in the breeze and the grass swishing left and right in the wind. As I was giving the house a final look I thought I saw a silhouette of somebody beside the window gazing upon me so I started to walk a little bit faster. As I walked I wondered how much longer this house could stand up to the rain and wind before it surrendered itself to nature or would people destroy it and replace it. Maybe it would just be left alone there and would continue standing quietly with its dark, window eyes begging for mercy.…

    Out of all the quizzes I had to choose from the one about being a hopeless romantic stood out the most. At first I wasn’t even sure what the words hopeless romantic were all about, so I looked up the definition to get a better idea. The definition reads, “A person who is in love with love, they believe in fairy tales and love”. I’m going to be honest, when I read this I thought to myself, there is no possible way I am even close to being a hopeless romantic.…
