Overlaps Beware Falling Ice Summary
Overlaps Beware Falling Ice a little. This is Lynn's story, who we meet in Beware Falling Ice. Paul had to say good-bye to her two years earlier when his wife (who had given them permission to be poly and play together) had a mental breakdown. (NOT cheating, they'd had permission to be poly, and that's in the past and had happened before this book opens.) Now, he's back, divorced since his wife refused to get help and uphold her promises to him, and wants to make amends and regain Lynn's trust. Meanwhile, Lynn had literally hit Powerball, and travels to South Dakota with her friend, Terrie, to help Rachel's brother Justin (from Beware Falling Ice) move. She finally calls Paul and flies him up to have alone time with him and talk it out. But

    This most influential glacier also created extremely steep valley walls and hanging valleys. When this glacier retreated, it most likely left waterfalls and a large lake that provided the sediments that cover up the U-shaped valley. After that glacier there were about two more but they were not as large. The last glaciation of Yosemite occurred only about 20,000 years ago and was not very big. When this last glacier retreated, it left moraines, Lake Yosemite, and waterfalls such as Yosemite Falls, Bridalveil Fall, Vernal Fall, and Nevada Fall. All of these landforms remain except for Lake Yosemite which was filled with sediment to cover the U-shaped valley even more. Currently, the Merced River runs through the valley. During all of this glacial…

    The poem “beyond the snow belt” by Mary Oliver conveys to us the ignorance of people towards deaths and disasters unrelated to them through the lens of one of them. In the first stanza, Mary paints a seemingly peaceful and happy picture of people’s life by pouring a series of imagery, metaphor and personification. People show no concern about the sufferings and feel no connection to them. As illustrated in the sentence “sweep down their easy paths of pride and welcome ”, those people’s ease and happiness stand in stark contrast to the sufferings experienced by people living in disasters. The second stanza starts with a thought-evoking rhetorical question, revealing the truth of people’s indifference “forget with ease each far mortality”. The bad news comes from a distant place and eventually passes people’s mind with no trace. People living in peace are not able to feel connected to the deaths happening not around them since their lives stay unaffected. In the last stanza, the author echos the theme with an accepting tone “all news arrives as from a distant place”. She points out that it is a usual thing for people to ignore tragedies because of the long distance between them. In their view, all the disasters and sufferings seem to exist in another world; as long as their lives stay the same, all the pains have nothing to do with them. In conclusion, this poem expresses a sad truth that people are more likely to ignore deaths and tragedies happening far away from them and stay totally unrelated.…
