Module 2 - Two Descriptions Paper

The place I decided to visit is a manmade pond at a local VFW building. When you walk up to the pond and take a look around, you notice that all of the shores of the pond that are in front of you are either surrounded by trees, or houses. During the latter part of the evening (I was there at about 8:45), you can see the stars reflecting off of the surface of the pond. This reflection on the surface made me want to look up into space.

As I look up into space, the trees and houses in my peripheral vision create the illusion of a portal, almost like looking through a big lensed telescope. The “tunnel vision” that was created directed my eyes to a perfectly focused location where I was able to see hundreds of stars, one just as clear as the other. As I look at these stars, I realize that they are galaxies just like this, with planets just like this.

As I look back down from the sky and glance over the surface of the pond, I was able to notice some movement in the tree line ahead and in on the surface of the water. Those two things made me transition away my primary focus from my eyes, to my ears. As I scan the water and peek into the wood line at the same time, I’m listening very closely for any type of sound. All of a sudden I notice another movement in the water. At this time, I turn my head, and heard a loud drop, as some sort of fish breached the water.

After that encounter, I settled down and calmed my nerves. I must have missed whatever it was out in the tree line. At that moment, I realized that when I’m in an unfamiliar environment, I should not just focus on one particular sense. Basically, I shouldn’t daydream. Whatever was in those woods may have been a serious threat had I been in a similar situation in a different environment. For example, what if I was on vacation in Alaska on the shore of a lake and stared off into space like that? In that environment, I could’ve been attacked by a bear.

    We hit a clearing and drop, the world spinning around us, soft grass comforting our throbbing body, the smell. The smell, what is it? It’s new and fresh. We open our eyes and are stunned by the sight. The darkness drowns us, but it is softened by something beautiful overhead; stars, all of them, completely beautiful, each one on its own and every one together. Simply magnificent. We close our eyes and relax, as it seems for the first time in our life, we are completely at peace. Before we know it, its…

    Immediately upon walking through the elegant double doors, the sweet aroma of butter envelopes the air around me causing me to rapidly salivate. The smell of nacho cheese accompanies the butter fragrance and I quickly begin to picture the many tasty treats behind the square concession area that is located in front of me. Candy galore is perfectly aligned behind the glass case further enticing my taste buds. A perfect temperature keeps me comfortable and makes me wish my home's temperature could be this perfect. One well groomed attendant generously overfills a striped bag with freshly popped popcorn and delicately hands it to a young boy standing next to his mother. Colorful posters line the walls around me, showing a glimpse into what lies behind the doors located down the hallways. The softness of the bench I am sitting on causes me to wonder if I am perched upon a cloud. Intermittent bursts of laughter can be heard coming from down the long hallways as well as in the lobby creating an atmosphere of endless fun. Smiling faces of children, teenagers, and adults quickly pass by me and I can hear the attendant quickly tear their perforated tickets as he happily says, "To the left, third door on your right."…

I think id like getting justice for victims and their family, because it would make me feel good and proud. I wouldn’t like where a guilty person gets away with a crime because of lack of evidence… I would like blood spatter the most, and hate talking in the jury or training others.

    As a child, I was raised my whole life in the country side. My mother and I had lived for years in a lonely shack at the edge of the small village we called home. At the very edge of the village was an eerie forest, a forest that seemed to beckon unwary fools into entering it. I was always told as a child to never go near the forest, especially at night. Some people say that a bear lives there, while others say that a serial killer lives there, and some even say that a monster lives there, either way the forest is always portrayed with death. I remember various occasions in which I would wake up for reasons unknown, only to find myself outside in my backyard staring at the edge of the forest, the soft moonlight caressing my bare skin, the crisp night air followed by the refreshing scent of grass. On one occasion I thought I heard a…

    The lines in the sky dance and twirl like waves of an ocean crashing along the shore during the mightiest of storms. I can’t help but wish that I could be a part of this memorable scene, thinking what it would feel like to swim amongst the honey dipped stars so high above me, as I raise my hands and lift my chin, aiming towards the heavens.

    It’s 8:02 a.m. on a soggy morning. After raining buckets for days, everyone’s mood is glum. While serving your children breakfast before shooing them out the door to school, your husband finally sleeps after a long night shift deep in the bowels of the Buffalo Creek coal mines. Minutes tick by and your only thought is getting the kids out the door on time with all their books and school supplies. Suddenly you hear a noise so foreign and loud, it takes a moment to register which of your senses is picking up the signal. You look out the window and see a wall of water complete with homes, cars and people bobbing in it coming at you faster than anything you have ever experienced. You scream and then…..…

    It's silent now. And dark. Morning is still seeking its way to the coast; in four hours it will rise above the mainland mountains to the east. I wait. The sun's halcyon glow will soon touch the shore of Vancouver Island. I wait. Yes, I wait. The morning will bring new adventure, and my wandering imagination rises in crimson flush. At once, the quiet is shattered by the initial belch of sixty-eight degrees let loose from an aging furnace; it slows to a steady rhythmic breath; the warmth gently cradles me. I look out into the inky universe, and there dangling ever so brightly, a planet shines just above the horizon. It reminds me I am here, but I still ponder…

    After hours of sitting out on the dock, my cousins and I were getting tired. So, we decided to see who could catch a fish first, and then we’ll be able to go inside. It took us another hour in order for one of us to catch a fish. During that hour, there was a lot of frustration and yawning. Since we all gave up on trying to find a manatee, we began to bring in all of the plates that were once filled with food and the fishing poles. But, as soon as we started to get everything together, we heard a noise coming from the water that sounded like something was breathing. Well, to our surprise, that was the sea cow we were hoping to see. The sky around us was too dark to see near us, and the tiny lanterns on the dock didn’t help too…
