Kansas River Persuasive Speech
Today we are crossing the Kansas River to reach Alcone Springs. We still have a long way but it takes about 15 minutes to cross so I thought i would sit down and write about our past 3 days. It cost $1 to use the Pappin Ferry to get across. Our rope has been really good so far and haven't fixed it. On the 19th Grace got a spring cold which I got really worried because i don't know where a General store is ahead and if we run out of medicine right now… it will be bad. Other then that, much hasn't happened besides getting sick. The journey is doing good so far, lots of walking and stopping but what can you do.

    Standing Rock Persuasive Speech

    Hey Xoe, please talk to your following about Standing Rock. More people need to know about what’s happening, because it’s horrible. It seems as though our native people are losing once again. Police are tormenting them on their land. I’m not sure if you know about what is happening, but I feel like it’s important to know, or to educate as many people as possible on the subject. A short summary of this situation would be that there is a an oil pipeline being put through the Standing Rock reservation in North and South Dakota. If you didn’t know oil pipelines have high rates of leaking which would cause the Native Americans living there not be able to use the natural water sources such a lake and rivers. The pipes also will most likely exploded,…

    Creative Writing: A Letter To Alcove Springs

    We are leaving Alcove Springs we are following the Platte River all the way to Fort Kearny which is 11 days on the trail and 319 miles. I think the walking is going to be very difficult for all of us. We were on the trail and our tongue on our wagon broke. I think that it broke when the ox were pulling our wagon and it connect to the ox it wasn’t strong in the first place so I think that putting more pressure on it made it break, it took us 2 days to repair. Grey clouds are starting to form in the sky the wind starts to blow really fast. It starts to hail and rain. I think there is going to be a really big storm. Fred tells everyone to stop and get under their wagon. Billy and Rae are really scared I’m am trying to comfort them but I am also very scared.…

    Descriptive Essay: Frio River

    My first view of the river makes me breathless. Shallow water washes over the road’s cement pavement. Men, women, and kids break the river’s flow; some sit in fold-up chairs and read a book, but most others are leaning back in a colored tube floating the slow water. A giant cypress tree waits patiently by the road; two large nails pin a rusted metal sign to it, warning visitors of state rules and regulations. Every river crossing has the same sign posted the closet tree. The tree’s familiar sight and significance still makes me excited, because I finally feel summer vacation starting. However, the sight also makes me impatient for we don’t start tubing until the second day. I never…

    Arkansas River Creative Writing

    So we begin to walk the couple miles to the river, pulling our wagons. I am puzzled to mom’s cheerfulness after what I heard last night. I begin to wonder if this may be our last trip to the river. Our water was much too contaminated to even try to boil. The pipes ended up getting clogged and didn’t work anymore. Our family and others are very dependent on this river. Maybe, we’re all moving East, finally away from this nightmare. It’s where all my friends went. My parents were hoping the dust would all end soon enough. That’s why they decided to stay.…

    Personal Narrative On Smoky Mountain

    When we started hiking down, I felt like collapsing. The trail seemed to never end. “I can do it,” I encouraged myself as I continued. Each step made my feet sting, but we finally made it to the bottom of the mountain. I collapsed on the soft, comfy, inviting seat of the car. Sitting down felt as pleasant as diving into a pool on a hot summer day. This hike was more important than I realized, I reflected on the way back. Instead of just proving Alay wrong, I had learned that if I tried really hard, I could achieve anything I wanted to. This was one lesson that I would remember my entire…

    Persuasive Speech

    PTSD or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is a psychiatric disorder that can occur following the experience or witnessing of life-threatening events such as the military combat, natural disasters, terrorism incidents, or any major tragedy. This is common in the life of veterans and is the leading cause of suicide among veterans. A VA patient who survived in Baghdad shares his experience with PTSD and explains how he knew he had this disability. Many veterans speak out about this issue and describe their continuous anger, alcohol addiction, and constantly wanted to fight. They usually feel very isolated and distant from their loved ones. One patient states, “PTSD involves rocketing into extreme states of stress re-activity; in the form of terror, rage, and uncontrollable impulses, and plunging into equally extreme states of being shut-down—exhaustion, emotional numbing, despair, and dissociation”. PTSD is about having fear and anxiety, allowing veterans to rage with anger and different emotion. There are many factors to PTSD, which affects others in different ways; or example, using video games to keep them occupied, spending money due to the lack of impulse control because of changes in their brain, and even not obtaining another job.…
