the day in the woods
The day in the woods
By Candra Wurtz
I had Lived an ordinary life with nothing at all interesting happening. Every day felt like the same ordinary old day. I was in a rut, stuck in a constant loop, nothing interesting ever happened to me, until that one Thursday. I remember it like it was yesterday, it was an ordinary sunny fall day, the leaves were the reds and yellows, the sun was warm on my back and it was the perfect day.
I was just relaxing in a tree reading a book when a nut bonked me on the head, then another and another. I looked op in the tree and saw a pack of squirrels throwing nuts intentionally at my head. Swiftly as I could climbed down the tree, but with one careless error I tumbled down three feet or so while still being pelted by nuts.
Once I got up I took off running away from the squirrels. Sadly the squirrels were faster and relentless. As I was running I was not paying attention to where I was going and I went straight in to a large oak tree. WHAM!!! Thud Thud Thud Thud Thud was all I heard as I faded out of conciseness. I was startled as I woke being carried away by a pack of wild turkeys.
Once they carried me to safety away from the squirrels I asked them if they could show me to the path and if the did I would never eat turkey ever again. I think they understood because they formed a circle around me and lead me to the path and thanked them again. Once they left I ran all the way through the woods to my house. I could not wait to tell them all about my day in the woods. The only problem was they did not believe me and they laughed at me. They said that I probably hit my head harder than I thought and that it was most likely my imagination. They said that all of it never really happened, but I will always know the truth about that day in the woods.

    Personal Narrative On Elk

    My dad shot the elk at dusk and as the light began to dwindle he thought it was best to finish hauling everything out the next morning.

    Personal Narrative: Mt. Edgecumbe High School

    I was tired and my face was numb; I forgot my face mask at my uncle’s house. I wasn’t in any rush to get home but the wood stove and my comfortable bed was a pleasing thought. The headlight on my snowmobile was only shining about ten feet in the distance when a giant moose stepped out in front of me. I immediately pulled my breaks, but it was too late to avoid contact. I was looking up at the towering moose; ready to fly forward all I could think about is how to survive this situation. My body became calm and everything went quiet. Then all of a sudden the big hooves came crashing down just…

    Personal Narrative Essay: Entering The Woods On The Trail

    The trail continued around the east side of the lake entering a gathering of trees forming an insignificant forest along the lake’s shoreline. From our viewpoint, the trees concealing the trail eventually dispersed on the southeast side of the lake, and the trail blended into the landscape. Using our imagination, we envisioned the route against the rugged terrain sloping into the lake. No point in taking a vote now, we had trekked to the lake and the consensus was to proceed with a lap around the lake.…

    Personal Narrative: Growing Up In The Woods

    Growing up in rural Kansas was boring. Especially since I grew up in the seventies. There were no cell phones or game systems to occupy my time. My family had an old black and white television set. I loved to watch The Price is Right in the days before Bob Barker’s hair turned white. After the show was over, the only way to kill time was to play outside and wander down to the creek that ran parallel to our property. There was a secret trail buried in the wall of trees that lined our two acre yard. My brother and I would slide down the trail, landing on the dirt banks like explorers on a mission. Sometimes we would hunt for crawdads under rocks. Other times we would take our poles and fish. We never went into the water after the time I got bit by a gar.…

    Into The Woods

    Before Grimm, before Supernatural, and even before Wicked, there was one “reimagining of classic fairy tales with interwoven plots and grey scale characters” and that was Into the Woods by Stephen Sondheim. Sondheim uses four familiar stories to set the scene for his overarching plot allowing him to concentrate on jokes and creating new relationships between old characters. He also uses familiar characters in ways that blend categories. Through much of act one every character is stock through and through, yet by the end of the play our dashing prince charming has become an unapologetic adulterer, and the wicked old witch becomes an anti-hero. In addition to plot and character Sondheim pays special attention to his musical numbers; just from the first number we understand the characters relationships to one another, their motivations (having children, going to the festival, visiting grandma, and not starving), and we’re introduced to the play’s key metaphor: the woods. While these aspects were vital to the performances success I will be concentrating on the diction and acting.…

    After the ride we couldn’t decide what other ride we should go on. I decided that we should stop and eat really quickly because we haven’t eaten anything in a awhile. So I was looking and any random place and I saw turkey leg. Then I let everyone know, and they all agree that we should stop and eat some turkeys. When we went to the line we all looked at the menu and the turkeys were really expensive but since we are so hungry we just figured we should just buy it and because one leg was so big. We all had one and enjoyed it a lot. Now that we all got something to eat we were ready to ride on some more rides.…
