    A Deadly Wandering By Matt Richtel: Chapter Summary

    There are only two deaths in the novel A Deadly Wandering by Matt Richtel. Only two deaths, yet those two deaths come within the first 17 pages. That leaves the author with 360 more pages to build up the reader’s excitement and anticipation for some kind of climax. Richtel makes a bold move with this intro, but it’s a strong and prosperous move with plenty of room for further discussion.…

    Chapter 1-2 Summary Of Flatland

    Flatland Chapter 1-2 Brief Summary By Samson Cantor Flatland by Edwin A. Abbott is a mathematical parody about imagining the entire world as a two dimensional plane. The book is a clever way of thinking about life in only two dimensions, where there is only length and width but not height. Flatland is a nation where everybody is a shape whose only perception is lines. Abbott allows the reader to understand this concept by imagining a penny being placed on a table. Looking down on the penny, the reader is able to see a circle, after which the reader is then instructed to lower themselves until their eyes are level with the penny.…

    My Ins On Hatchet Book Report

    This is my INS on Hatchet. The book was written by Gary Paulsen the author that also wrote previous book I did an INS on. The book is set in the Canadian woods. I'm not sure what time period this book takes place in because it doesn't say in the book. I'm guessing somewhere in the 1980's or 90's. Now I will summarize the story of this book. The story is about Brian Robeson, a 13 year old boy who is going to visit his dad in Canada after his parents' divorce. He goes from Hampton, New York to Canada on a small plane. The driver has a heart attack and dies. Brian takes over the controls and crashes into the woods. Brian is now stranded all by himself in these woods. He thinks that he will be rescued, but that doesn’t end up happening. He finds berries and other types of foods and uses those to eat. Skip all the way to the end and a tornado strikes his area and destroys his shelter. After that, he notices that the tail of the plane has emerged and he goes into it and gets the survival pack. In it, he finds a transmitter and it calls a rescue helicopter thing to him. He then gets rescued. That is pretty much bigger main parts of the book. I chose this book for INS because I said that there are some similar things about this book and the one I did previously and that interested me so I decided to do this book for my ins. I also wanted to read this book again because I forgot some of the stuff that happens throughout the book.…

    Summary Of Where The Map Ends By Ron Rash

    The mountainous region shows to be a beautiful and lively place until you get stuck within its grasps. The mountains can be a symbol for some people as a version of prison or a place with no escape. Living in the mountains for a long period of time can put you into a socially placed group for people that have a certain way of talking or way of dressing. A common theme that appears within Ron Rash’s stories is that the unknown and unruly territory of the southern Appalachians can be dangerous and foreign to outsiders.…

    The Lost Cause Summary

    The UDC was one such group that historian David Blight believes was fighting for control of historical interpretation during what he calls the second era of the Lost Cause. If there is any one point by the United Daughters of the Confederacy that displayed their support of the Lost Cause, Caroline Janney provides the example with the women’s intent to commemorate the faithful slaves “when they pressed for the erection of a national faithful slave monument.” Janney is showing how the South tried to impart a belief that this type of monument would show how slave owners valued and respected the slave. Even though the women avoided discussing race, Janney explains, the women went out of their way to praise the African Americans but only in the…

    Analysis William Cronan's "The Trouble with Wilderness"

    The rapid industrialization of the Earth has been one of the greatest changes the earth has undergone, surpassing in magnitude the numerous ice ages or massive extinctions. This industrialization prompted a large chunk of the Earth's population to dwell in cities. As a result, much of the wide open spaces of "nature" were transformed into an environment dominated by buildings and congested with roads and people. It is then no surprise that humans separate themselves from nature and expect nature to be "pristine." Imagine for a moment that you are at a place where you feel like you are "away from it all." It's a special place where you are surrounded by sceneries not usually commonplace. You are surrounded by rows of, swarms of bugs and the unyielding odor of decaying plants permeating through the air. To many of us, these types of places are still reachable. Whether it's in your backyard or a one hour drive away, it's reachable.…

    William Cronon The Trouble With Wilderness Summary

    In his critique, “The Trouble with Wilderness or Getting Back to the Wrong Nature,” William Cronon argues against the romantic conceptualization of nature that a great portion of the environmentalist movement has embraced. Subsequently, Cronon revokes the Romantic and even quasi-religious notion that wilderness spaces are separate from those inhabited by man. He argues that by eliminating the divide in perception between the human constructs of the natural world and the civilized world, man will be encouraged to take more responsibility for his actions that negatively impact the environment. In prefacing his conclusion, he writes, “Home, after all, is the place where finally we make our living. It is the place for which we take responsibility,…
