Assignment: Chronicles of Ice Summary: In Chronicles of Ice‚ Gretel Ehrlich sets out to “learn whatever lessons a glacier has to teach”‚ and to share what she has learned with us‚ as readers.

Fishing on a Frozen Lake I believe that ice fishing is the best type of fishing to build‚ strengthen‚ and polish a relationship between a father and his son. Fishing from a boat‚ shore‚ or on a river offers opportunities to get to know each other and spend quality time near each other. However‚ there is something very powerful about being so cold‚ your nose freezes with each inhale and exhale‚ that creates a picture-perfect setting to engage in deep and meaningful discussions.

wanted me to help her out with something. But I didn’t know that it was something else. “Get ready to go ice skating by preparing your jacket and gloves.” Mom answered back. The last 6 words in that sentence triggered me. Even though ice skating might be fun‚ it did not feel the same way to me. I did not know how to skate‚ at all! I bet I didn’t even know how to get on the ice‚ how to walk on the ice. I’ve probably fallen more than standing up in the slippery rink. But I also knew this: “There was no

Hannah Goldsborough While watching the documentary Poverty INC‚ I was quite interested in a few of the topics that it brought up. Something that stuck out to me the most is how the United States continuously pumped supplies into countries after a natural disaster. Unfortunately‚ money is unable to solve all the problems‚ but often creates more. While pumping rice and eggs into countries that may have needed them seems like a good idea‚ it negatively impacts their economies in the long run. While

Ice fishing is a winter sport that requires thick ice on frozen lakes‚ determination‚ warm clothes‚ and a whole lot of patients. I have been ice fishing since I was a little kid starting when I was around 7 or 8 my grandfather would take me out on the lake in front of our house every weekend in the winter and slowly teach me the ways and tricks of how to catch large quantities of fish. I am from upstate New York which means our region gets slammed with feet of snow every year and it drops below

The Miracle on Ice “Eleven seconds‚ now you’ve got ten seconds‚ the countdown is going on right now! Five seconds left in the game. Do you believe in Miracles?! YES!!! These words spoken by commentators Ken Dryden and Al Michaels‚ are perhaps the most famous words ever said in United States sports history.

time I can remember giving up an activity I truly enjoyed. For several months‚ I took ice skating lessons before inviting my friend Shannon to join me for a day. She loved it and had talent‚ consequently gliding past my skill level with ease in her first few weeks of practice. In response to her success‚ I decided ice skating was not my sport. I discontinued practicing almost immediately.
