Short Story: Alaska Committed Suicide
Chip Martin and Miles Halter” a loud voice echos through our dorm corridor. It was the eagle. He motioned for us to walk with him to his office. Once we arrived he sat us down and informed us that Alaska Young committed the worst prank on Culver Creek she has ever done.
Alaska committed suicide last night.
AFTER
Alaska left no note , no clue, no reason to what she did. It was an impulse apparently. She was on her way to see her mom's grave after she completely forgot about it. The police officer she ran into said she had a look on her face, like she had no intention of swerving. When the officer ran up to her , it was too late. The medical examiner came and found her lungs collapsed and the haunting image of her blood on her white daisies.

    The woman, Yu, had been found on a lava embankment; Dan had reported that he found her there, presumably after hanging laundry. She had many injuries; a later autopsy determined she died of two massive wounds caused by a tire iron. She also had scrapes from the lava rocks. In 2012, a new case prosecutor reviewed the case-there was additional blood evidence found, evidently linking DeJarnette to his wife’s death. He was a prime suspect in the first place; this just locked it in.…

    A dystopia is a place where negative events constantly take place. Based on this information we can infer that a daring job, such as a miner, can seem like a dystopia. In the text “Klondike Gold Rush” , the author describes a plot of ambitious miners baring treacherous conditions only for a chance to strike fortune. From a conflicting viewpoint , the passage “A Woman Who Went to Alaska” by May Kellogg Sullivan shares a slightly different view, considering the miners got the pleasure of coming across a property of riches but only to have their riches stolen from their grasp by the government. Going over these excerpts I can gather the life of a miner was full of uncertainty, laws, and endless loss.…

    The Klondike Gold Rush, also called the Yukon Gold Rush, the Alaska Gold Rush, the Alaska-Yukon Gold Rush and the Last Great Gold Rush, was a migration by an estimated 100,000 prospectors to the Klondike region of the Yukon in north-western Canada between 1896 and 1899. Gold was discovered there on August 16, 1896 and, when news reached Seattle and San Francisco the following year, it triggered a "stampede" of prospectors. The journey proved too hard for many, and only between 30,000 and 40,000 arrived. Some became wealthy, but the majority went in vain and only around 4,000 struck gold. The Klondike Gold Rush ended in 1899 after gold was discovered in Nome, prompting an exodus from the Klondike. It has been immortalized by photographs, books…

    I bought two pounds of Alaskan King Salmon today. To me, the most exciting thing about cooking salmon has to be making sure in getting the skin nice and crispy. Score, salt, pepper, cajun spice, oil….skin side down, a touch of butter. And that!...keeps the salmon so moist! One of my most favorite things to cook is a great succotash with fish. Just mindblowing! Start by caramelizing onions in the pan, add corn, red peppers, yellow peppers, green peppers, zucchinis, and squash. The salmon is resting.…

    Suicide. Just the mentioning of such a word sends shivers down many people’s spines. While it may be not be spoken about, suicide rates seem to be on the rise, and many are doing everything they can to help. According to Pamela Kulbarsh, a psychiatric nurse for over twenty-five and writer of the article “The Epidemiology of Suicide: Who is most likely to take their life own life?” suicide has been coined “the most preventable death” (7). Suicide prevention and treatment, however, is by no means a new concept.…
