Positive and Negative Effects of Having Boyfriend/Girlfriend
“Determination for Nature”
It was 3:00 am, June 30, 2012.This day is Pista Y ang Cagueban, where all citizens of Puerto Princesa were ask to participate in planting a tree. It’s still dark that time but through the help of lights around the city Coliseum we are able to saw our group. Everyone was excited for the trucks to came, but the happiness was replaced by irritation of waiting the right truck for us. It was 6:30 am but the truck is not arriving yet. Others use their time talking to each other while the others keep silent. Different ways to enjoy that moment. Of course together with our ever supportive teacher Ma’am Meorom who guide us what to do. And the thing we have been waiting for finally came so we leave.
But going to Irawan is not really easy, through our way riding that truck, we feel tension because every time the truck is turning it makes an impact to us which is a dangerous one.But with the determination we did it, but we have to walk several miles to reach the venue, as we our footwear’s don’t look as it is before our footwear’s looks messy that time. But we enjoy walking because we knew that we are doing this for our mother earth. Going there requires patience and determination without it we are not able to do it. Then you will realize that all the effort you had put will be replaced by the feeling you have if you reached that place. The trees are tall, the air is fresh, and everything there was perfect. Together with my classmates we did it successfully and it is our turn to do something to our nature. Some students plants mahogany and others plant bamboo. After we finished planting we use that moment for taking pictures together. I’m so happy that day because even though that place is difficult to go through many peoples did it, so it means there are still people who are concerned with nature. As we walk through our way home, I had remembered a person said “You can do things possible if you will exert determination on it”.

    Earlier that day, my family and I took a serene walk down the pier. We saw fishermen catching fish and people getting ready to go fishing in a boat. When we got back to our petite cabin, we prepared to go frolic at the beach. At the beach, my brother and I went swimming. The massive waves were uncommon at Capitola, so we were cheerful we got to swim in the immense waves. After a terrific ten to fifteen minutes of…

An example is evident in the quote “My parents have learnt that language barriers can be insurmountable as giant waves”.

This wasn’t as bad as it seems because it gives them a chance to open up a new learning experience which helps to benefit them throughout their journey, making a lot of it much less difficult.

    Through his experience during the Everest expedition, Jon Krakauer learns to be aware of nature and its potential. For instance, Krakauer always wanted to climb Mt. Everest because he loved mountain climbing and also because he viewed Mount Everest as nature at its greatest. In addition, Krakauer knew to double check everything because the gales and storms can effect equipment. So, he checked and re-checked his equipment, incluging his oxygen tank and ropes.

    From a personal experience, I find it hard reading out of my comfort zone and struggle to recall the events taking place in a story. However, Mowat kept me engaged with a profound use of imagery. In a nature book such as itself, it is essential to provide vivid imagery and specific details. Mowat shows this practice numerous times throughout the novel, placing the reader into the Barren Lands of central Keewatin. As I read throughout the novel, I began to wonder to myself, “What would I do?” and “How would I react?” This is the effect Mowat’s descriptive words have on his reader’s mind. In the beginning of Mowat’s journey, he is dropped in seemly the middle of nowhere, and observes his surroundings. “As I looked about me at the stark and cloud-topped hills, the…

    To walk alone in the desert allows me to consider what instinctively emerges in the silence. Preconceived ideals are challenged and the arrogant desire to label all things becomes superfluous. It is here that my dialogue with abstract imagery is heightened and I am left to question, how does one paint this experience of nature?…

    Our attachment to nature is represented in significant interactions that occur through events and situations . An individual’s value of nature may be challenged through their experience and the obstacles they have encountered throughout their lives. Alain De Botton’s philosophical novel The Art of Travel explores our attraction to nature and how it affects our inner being. This is also highlighted in Albert Namatjira’s painting Ljalkaindirma which conveys the artist’s links between his Aboriginal heritage and its culture. Both these texts explore humanity’s connection to landscapes and our own lives through their unique methods of representation.…

    Through her poem, “Some Say Plants Don’t Speak”, Rosalia De Castro stressed the importance of respecting the natural world. She was a Spanish writer and heavily influenced the people of that culture. She believed that for a person o really connect with themselves, they should listen to what nature has to say through its naturalness. For example, she writes that “Stars and fountains and flowers, don’t murmur against my dream; could I delight in you without them, without them, could I live?” (Line 14-15). She declares that one cannot move through life without this beautiful greenery. It bothers her that people disregard the aesthetics of the outdoors and can’t see that life coincides with it. Having one and not the other is something so impossible to her to fathom. Nature is an ongoing cycle and Castro states that it’s “the eternal spring of life”. The wildlife has a past and it should be the practicality of life. As she…

    I celebrate with others who love wilderness the beauty and power of the things it contains. Each of us who has spent time there can conjure images and sensations that seem all the more hauntingly real for having engraved themselves so indelibly on our memories. Such memories may be uniquely our own, but they are also familiar enough be to be instantly recognizable to others. Remember this? The torrents of mist shoot out from the base of a great waterfall in the depths of a Sierra canyon, the tiny droplets cooling your face as you listen to the roar of the water and gaze up toward the sky through a rainbow that hovers just out of reach. Remember this too: looking out across a desert canyon in the evening air, the only sound a lone raven calling in the distance, the rock walls dropping away into a chasm so deep that its bottom all but vanishes as you squint into the amber light of the setting sun. And this: the moment beside the trail as you sit on a sandstone ledge, your boots damp with the morning dew while you take in the rich smell of the pines, and the small red fox—or maybe for you it was a raccoon or a coyote or a deer—that suddenly ambles across your path, stopping for a long moment to gaze in your direction with cautious indifference before…

    After taking Amabelle’s face in my scarred hands, I brushed my lips against hers, gave her a reassuring smile as our pupils met, and then I raced to find Mimi. The evening dampness cooled the skin on my scarred back, as I crisscrossed the stream and Don Carlos’ mill to reach the cement non-vwayagé home of Doña Eva. Hurrying past the spacious yards, crowded with fruit trees--laden with mangoes and avocados--to provide cover from the burning heat of the sun and to fill their bellies with the sensuous mangoes and creamy avocados. Usually thronged with people living their lives, an undercurrent of despair permeated the area: as though the entire neighborhood sensed that a violent storm approached. As I swiftly sprinted up the hill, I spotted Beatriz striding down the road: her long braid swung back…

    The highlights of the newspaper were always Angelita’s coronation, the Free World Fair of Peace, Flor de Oro’s adventures in New York. One Saturday after another, as I sat on my patio, I noticed several of my Haitian neighbors were slowly whisked away by Trujillo’s soldiers to become a memory of the past. From the machetes the soldiers were carrying, I knew it was better to turn the volume up on my radio and not ask any questions of my neighbors. Meanwhile, Sunday morning’s, my family and I in our best clothes went to Church and prayed to God and Trujillo. In the afternoon, my wife, daughters and I would sit in the rusty wooden park bleachers while cheering on our sons as they played in…
