“Click, click, click” I stand up after buckling my snowboard bindings and glance out across the horizon. I see the deep blue’s of Lake Winnipesaukee and the cool icy blues over the scattered coves. I look ahead and realize that I am the last one to start down the fresh packed powder trail. Quickly I hop along to gain speed to catch up to my family.…

In 1908 there was a controversy over Reelfoot lake, a dispute about who had rights to develop or fish in the lake. Before this, in 1899, a man by the name of James Harris announced he had bought the lake and planned to drain it, which upset the residents. These shaken residents banded together and sought out to sue Harris. The real question was if the lake was navigable or not. If so then the lake was public property and could not be drained. The Tennessee State Supreme Court ruled that the lake was too shallow to be navigable, but Harris died soon after. James Harris had a son, Judge Harris, who formed the West Tennessee Land Company in 1907, and planned to develop this land that was previously being fought over. They tried to force the farmers working off this land to pay them rent which, in turn, made them feel cheated. The judge did not allow them to fish in Reelfoot Lake, and some of the residents turned to…

With just two students left to get on, the balance board rises and falls slowly, as those two people creep onto the board, making sure it does not make any contact with the ground. Then the whole group cheers, as they have just completed the challenge in record breaking time. This explains the “whale watch” challenge at the Pine Lake Challenge Course which is where the eighth graders from Corpus Christi School had just visited. Pine Lake Challenge Course is an adventurous, outdoor activity center in which to complete the task at hand, it is necessary to work with and cooperate with the other ten students in the proximity. My expectations of the day were not met because of a certain, few people.…

In 1982 an Air Florida Flight crashed into Washington D.C., destroying an entire street and landing is the fridge waters of the Potomac River. After this crash as response units rushed to the scene, six people were found at the tail of the plane. The response units used a helicopter in an attempt to save all six of these people, but not all of them survived and that is what makes this story interesting. One man who was unidentified and later known as the man in the water, helped to save these five other survivors. Unfortunately, The Man in the water did not survive, but what he did helped to save the survivors. Many looked at this and saw it as a good deed, but others looked at it differently seeing it as an example of humanity and nature.…
Rosenblatt writes a very interesting response about the man in the water. The response that he has for the man in the water is how the man was totally selfless through the whole experience. In the article The Man In The Water, Rosenblatt shows how one man could be powerless even though it is him who had lost his life. The man in the water showed that some other people would do save people but he did. Roger shows how the man didn't have powers to do amazing things but he did have the power to give someone else the chance of life and he did this for five other passengers that were on the…

Hundreds of leads have been pursued by the FBI and local law enforcement officials in the ensuing years, but no conclusive evidence has ever surfaced favoring the success or failure of the attempt. Numerous theories of widely varying plausibility have been proposed by authorities, reporters, family members, and amateur enthusiasts. In 1979 the FBI officially concluded, on the basis of circumstantial evidence and a preponderance of expert opinion, that the men drowned in the frigid waters of San Francisco bay before reaching the mainland.]The US Marshals case file remains open and active, however, and Morris and the Anglin brothers remain on its wanted list.…

Lake Rudolph gave me a lot of moments that I will never forget for the rest of my life. One incident that was memorable was an incident about me being stupid. For instance, at Lake Rudolph you could rent golf carts to around the premise. Most places at Lake Rudolph were accessible by driving the golf cart around. So it was logical for us to rent one. The third and final night we were there, my family was riding around in the golf cart, enjoying the cool summer night. While in the golf cart, I asked my mom if I could take the golf cart for a spin. She said yes and I took over the wheel. For the first few minutes, I was fine. But as I was driving down a little hill, a patrol cop came up the hill. As soon as I saw him I flopped out of the cart…
