    Nestled within western Hennepin County and Carver County, Minnesota, Lake Minnetonka holds unique meaning for different people. The retreating Wisconsin Glacier of the last Ice Age that produced melted blocks of ice, gave life and form to this island lake. It was Alexander Ramsey, Minnesota’s territorial governor in 1852, who gave Lake Minnetonka its name. The lake is also commonly known as the Big Waters, deriving that nickname from the Sioux language in which “Minne” means water and “Tonka” means big or great. As the ninth largest lake in Minnesota, Lake Minnetonka features several islands, a series of interconnecting bays including Haltsed Bay and Grays Bay, and it covers 22.2 square miles of water, boasting roughly 110 miles of beautiful…

    In the short story, “Greasy Lake,” written by author T. Coraghessan Boyle, we read about the gruesome discovery that the unidentified narrator himself comes across on one particular summer night while seeking adventure with his two friends. The teenage boys all of equal age believe they are “bad” and unfortunately they learn the hard way about the consequences of being mischievous when they visit the infamous Greasy Lake. The suburban boys find more than what they are looking for and sure learn from their experience of reaching adulthood. Boyle uses first-person narration to allow the nineteen year old boy to tell us the story first-hand and give us room for our very own interpretation. The anonymous narrator, the protagonist, does indeed take upon a life changing journey that fits several elements of the hero journey pattern as articulated by Joseph Campbell in his summary of the steps of the Hero’s Journey.…

    It was the perfect day at the cottage; there wasn’t a cloud in the sky and the temperature stayed in the thirty-degree range. Everyone was hustling around the cottage trying to prepare food and supplies for our canoe trip. The canoe trip was an annual tradition that we carried on for the past six years. I continued to pack burgers, hot dogs, salads, snacks, and drinks into coolers and brought them down to the dock. The canoes were packed and everyone had lathered on a pound of sunscreen, so we began our paddle out to Whiskey Island. It was a steep climb up sharp jagged rocks, but once at the top there were pine tress and dry yellow grass scattered all over. Once we got everything set up, we decided to go to the part of the island that you could…

    During Summer 2015, I was in the calm waters of Lake Michigan, preparing to try wake-boarding for my first time. My Dad had me hooked up to our rose-red WaveRunner and he asked me if I was ready. My life jacket was pulling on my throat a little bit so I pulled it back down, and said “Yes, let's go!” He took off and I was yanked out of the water! Somehow I managed to stay standing, and we kept going. My wake board was drifting a little too far left so I pushed my left foot forward, thus learning how to align with the center of our wake. Unfortunately, about five seconds later, a wave collided with our wake, forming displacement in the water, and I fell back down. Luckily I was not hurt and I would go on to keep trying for the rest of…

    Hundreds of millennia ago, two species were at war. They were the Fire Spirits and the Water Spirits, and despite the fact that their was no way to tell them apart by physical features, they had distinct personalities. The Fire Spirits were ruthless warriors, quick to anger and seldom forgiving. The Water spirits were almost the exact opposite: they were calm, forgiving, and preferred artistic and intellectual pursuits to war, but they were excellent fighters when they had to be. These differences were part of the spark that ignited the fire of their conflict, but the main reason for the war was a new area of the universe. This area was called Earth, and both the Fire and Water Spirits wanted to claim the vast green landscape for their own.…
