Amicalola Falls: A Short Story
I had mosquito bites all over my arms,neck,and leg. I thought that the itchiness would never end.

Help me Tamara. I screamed.

Tamara looked back and saw that I needed help and came back to help me get rid of the mosquitos that were biting me over and over.

Be careful next time Samantha. Tamara told me.

Once we finished I couldn’t stop thinking her for helping me that we got lost and went up the trail and found her parents standing by a sign the read: Keep on this trail for three mile and you will arrive at Amicalola Falls.

    Analyzing Richard Ford's 'Great Falls'

    How awkward it is to come home to a young stranger in your kitchen and your wife upstairs packing her suitcase. In the story, “Great Falls” by Richard Ford, an unusual example of a marriage gone wrong is given, but at the beginning of the story it was said that, “This is not a happy story, I warn you” so I guess it wouldn’t be such a surprise when the story ends so sadly. The mother in the story had obviously not married Jack for love because on page 41 she simply left him for a young and good looking man by the name of Woody even after saying, “He doesn’t love me, Jack” when Jack was considering blowing Woody’s head off. She left her son Jackie and husband Jack for Woody that night without hesitation and the son wished he hadn’t…

    Noccalula Falls: A Short Story

    Josh and I went to Noccalula Falls today. We were walking through the Pioneer houses, and I spotted a very intrigued young boy. I said, " these houses were built in 1777. That's pretty awesome, right?" His mother chimes in, " Wow! That's just one year after America was settled." The Social Studies teacher in me wanted to scream. I walked away mumbling under my breath, "Spain settled in Florida in 1565. Britain settled in Virginia in 1607. Lady, you are way off the mark." But I can see why she would think 1776. I decided to let it go. Five minutes later we are visiting some animals. I hear the mother say, " Is that a lion or is that a tiger? How are we supposed to know the difference between the two?" Josh had to restrain…

    The River Wild

    We got out of bed and put on some of our warmest clothes because the water would be cold for sure. On the drive up to Palmer to meet up with our friends, I had a permanent smile on my face from the excitement. We made our way up to the Matanuska Glacier where our adventure would take place. After all the safety briefings, the question that kept popping up in my head was "what do I do if I were to fall in"? Little did I know that the answer that I would get from the guide would soon be used to save my life and stick with me for the rest of my life. As we geared up for the ride we were all enjoying the nice weather and the joys of friendship.…
