Positive and Negative Effects of Having Boyfriend/Girlfriend
“Determination for Nature”
It was 3:00 am, June 30, 2012.This day is Pista Y ang Cagueban, where all citizens of Puerto Princesa were ask to participate in planting a tree. It’s still dark that time but through the help of lights around the city Coliseum we are able to saw our group. Everyone was excited for the trucks to came, but the happiness was replaced by irritation of waiting the right truck for us. It was 6:30 am but the truck is not arriving yet. Others use their time talking to each other while the others keep silent. Different ways to enjoy that moment. Of course together with our ever supportive teacher Ma’am Meorom who guide us what to do. And the thing we have been waiting for finally came so we leave.
But going to Irawan is not really easy, through our way riding that truck, we feel tension because every time the truck is turning it makes an impact to us which is a dangerous one.But with the determination we did it, but we have to walk several miles to reach the venue, as we our footwear’s don’t look as it is before our footwear’s looks messy that time. But we enjoy walking because we knew that we are doing this for our mother earth. Going there requires patience and determination without it we are not able to do it. Then you will realize that all the effort you had put will be replaced by the feeling you have if you reached that place. The trees are tall, the air is fresh, and everything there was perfect. Together with my classmates we did it successfully and it is our turn to do something to our nature. Some students plants mahogany and others plant bamboo. After we finished planting we use that moment for taking pictures together. I’m so happy that day because even though that place is difficult to go through many peoples did it, so it means there are still people who are concerned with nature. As we walk through our way home, I had remembered a person said “You can do things possible if you will exert determination on it”.

    The poem “Urban Indian: Portrait 3” written by Richard Wagamese, shows how an experience in nature can help create a connection not only with nature but also with humans. The speaker remembers an old experience of his when he was paddling “..and he can still feel the muscle/ of the channel on his arm/ the smell of it/ potent, rich, eternal/ the smell of dreams and visions..” This feeling and connection has been kept within him and has helped him become who he is now as an adult: “..and heads down the stairs/ out into the street/ to find the kids/ he teaches to carve paddles now.” He may be far from that place where he once was, but he shares this memory to carve the paddles of a canoe: “..in the moonlight/ what he brings to them.” This reveals…

    Through his experience during the Everest expedition, Jon Krakauer learns to be aware of nature and its potential. For instance, Krakauer always wanted to climb Mt. Everest because he loved mountain climbing and also because he viewed Mount Everest as nature at its greatest. In addition, Krakauer knew to double check everything because the gales and storms can effect equipment. So, he checked and re-checked his equipment, incluging his oxygen tank and ropes.

    Through her poem, “Some Say Plants Don’t Speak”, Rosalia De Castro stressed the importance of respecting the natural world. She was a Spanish writer and heavily influenced the people of that culture. She believed that for a person o really connect with themselves, they should listen to what nature has to say through its naturalness. For example, she writes that “Stars and fountains and flowers, don’t murmur against my dream; could I delight in you without them, without them, could I live?” (Line 14-15). She declares that one cannot move through life without this beautiful greenery. It bothers her that people disregard the aesthetics of the outdoors and can’t see that life coincides with it. Having one and not the other is something so impossible to her to fathom. Nature is an ongoing cycle and Castro states that it’s “the eternal spring of life”. The wildlife has a past and it should be the practicality of life. As she…

    From a personal experience, I find it hard reading out of my comfort zone and struggle to recall the events taking place in a story. However, Mowat kept me engaged with a profound use of imagery. In a nature book such as itself, it is essential to provide vivid imagery and specific details. Mowat shows this practice numerous times throughout the novel, placing the reader into the Barren Lands of central Keewatin. As I read throughout the novel, I began to wonder to myself, “What would I do?” and “How would I react?” This is the effect Mowat’s descriptive words have on his reader’s mind. In the beginning of Mowat’s journey, he is dropped in seemly the middle of nowhere, and observes his surroundings. “As I looked about me at the stark and cloud-topped hills, the…

    I celebrate with others who love wilderness the beauty and power of the things it contains. Each of us who has spent time there can conjure images and sensations that seem all the more hauntingly real for having engraved themselves so indelibly on our memories. Such memories may be uniquely our own, but they are also familiar enough be to be instantly recognizable to others. Remember this? The torrents of mist shoot out from the base of a great waterfall in the depths of a Sierra canyon, the tiny droplets cooling your face as you listen to the roar of the water and gaze up toward the sky through a rainbow that hovers just out of reach. Remember this too: looking out across a desert canyon in the evening air, the only sound a lone raven calling in the distance, the rock walls dropping away into a chasm so deep that its bottom all but vanishes as you squint into the amber light of the setting sun. And this: the moment beside the trail as you sit on a sandstone ledge, your boots damp with the morning dew while you take in the rich smell of the pines, and the small red fox—or maybe for you it was a raccoon or a coyote or a deer—that suddenly ambles across your path, stopping for a long moment to gaze in your direction with cautious indifference before…

    The highlights of the newspaper were always Angelita’s coronation, the Free World Fair of Peace, Flor de Oro’s adventures in New York. One Saturday after another, as I sat on my patio, I noticed several of my Haitian neighbors were slowly whisked away by Trujillo’s soldiers to become a memory of the past. From the machetes the soldiers were carrying, I knew it was better to turn the volume up on my radio and not ask any questions of my neighbors. Meanwhile, Sunday morning’s, my family and I in our best clothes went to Church and prayed to God and Trujillo. In the afternoon, my wife, daughters and I would sit in the rusty wooden park bleachers while cheering on our sons as they played in…

When we got back to our petite cabin, we prepared to go frolic at the beach. At the beach, my brother and I went swimming. The massive waves were uncommon at Capitola, so we were cheerful we got to swim in the immense waves. After a terrific ten to fifteen minutes of…
