tourism has no distinct boundaries. For the past two-and-a-half years‚ I have been writing about adventure topics for The Adventure Corner travel blog‚ on everything from the merits of bumpy roads to tracking devices on narwhals.

The sculpture that I decided to reflect upon is L’Offrande (The Offering) by Robert Wlerick. The sculpture is situated in a grassy meadow area in between the academic buildings of Stein and Beaven. The scale of the piece seems to be larger than life. The proportions of the sculpture are larger than an average sized woman and appears almost like an Amazon woman.

You tackled some really thought-provoking themes in your poems‚ and I think were largely successful in doing so. I think if you just revisit some specific aspects of each piece‚ they could be even stronger. In “L’appel du vide”‚ I thought your poem perfectly captured the feelings associated with the phrase “l’appel du vide”‚ itself. At the beginning‚ your word choices of “shattering”‚ “cut”‚ and “jagged”‚ all of which have negative connotations‚ started to create a darker‚ ominous tone. However

As I looked at the title I thought to myself that this was going to be a fun read with a happy ending. I always thought of L.A. as the place where dreams come true‚ so “Love in L.A.” sounded like two people falling in love in the glam and glitter of L.A. A perfect title for a perfect short story. Dagoberto Gilb starts out “Love in L.A.‚” with the narrator‚ Jake‚ stuck in traffic. Like every other person who is bored in traffic‚ Jake lets his mind wander‚ thinking about various things. He thought

Personally‚ I found the chapter about Dagoberto Gilb to be extremely interesting to read. The inclusion of pictures in the textbook really allows a reader to get a better understanding of the author before they read the stories. I found “Love in L.A.” to be particularly compelling. The text leading up to the short story provides the reader with insight to Gilb’s life. Gilb’s life is that of a typical working class American. This knowledge provides insight into the meaning and motive behind “Love
