Little Blog On The Prairie Analysis
From the book of Little Blog on the Prairie (written by Cathleen Davitt Bell)
Visitor's review on the family vacation spot called Camp Frontier. (In the story the main character spends her whole summer at Camp Frontier and in the story she explains the ups and downs of this vacation spot.) "Camp Frontier is a family vacation spot that can be found in Laramie, Wyoming. The main role of this place is for visitor to be able to reenact the year 1890. Also to see how people live during this time of year. To give more information about the year 1890 is the time when the pioneers used to live. The time when everyone in the family had to do work on the field and at the house to keep themselves alive and prosperous. A time when the only entertainment

The step I took as I entered the camp I was in awe of the tall, wooden trees stand in front of me. Also the mountains high above the trees made the scenery perfect. It felt like I was staring into a picture frame but this time it was real. Second thing I would like to give approval as I have stated before in paragraph one, it moves kids to go outside to get some fresh air. It lets kids get some fresh air outside and not be trapped inside the house playing video games. Other than this approval most of my comments seem to be more about my disapproval toward this camp. As a continuation of my disapprovals I would have to say that unlike other family vacation spots you are able to sleep in a comfy bed with and a room that has its own air conditioning but here you do not have any of that. You actual have to sleep in a wooden cabin the has windows with no screens so bugs and mosquitoes can be crawling on you while you sleep. There are only two plain mattresses that can only be shared (example: one mattress for the children other for parents.). Also at night it becomes freezing cold there is only one quilt per bed to be shared with the other people with you so half of the night your left

    The American West was viewed as a land of opportunity and success for many people of different racial and financial backgrounds during the time between 1865 to 1890. However, the extent of success from the opportunity varied on multiple factors. For the homesteader, opportunity was based upon good weather conditions and hard work but mostly only large scale corporations succeeded. Mining provided little for the average miner; large mining industries profited instead.. At some point West was the land of opportunity and at the same time it was not a land of opportunity for Native American Indians and Minorities.…

    Nobody seems to be interested at all on what's going on outside, there's not even people walking around the camp trying to interact with one another. This can tell me two things, the first one is that the camp is in fact empty and nobody has arrived yet or two the one I believe is true and that is that the people in the camp stay inside all day or that when there is an activity going on, like a baseball game, everyone wants to attend the activity because it one of the only forms of entertainment they have at the…

    In April of 1992 a young man named Chris McCandless, from a prosperous and loving family, hitchhiked across the country to Alaska. He gave $25,000 of his savings to charity, left his car and nearly all of his possessions. He burned all the cash he had in his wallet, and created a new life. Four months later, his body was found in an abandoned bus. Jon Krakauer constructed a journalistic account of McCandless 's story. Bordering on obsession, Krakauer looks for the clues to the mystery that is Chris McCandless. What he finds is the intense pull of the wilderness on our imagination, the appeal of high-risk activities to young men. When McCandless 's mistakes turn out to be fatal he is dismissed for his naiveté. He was said by some to have a death wish, but wanting to die and wanting to see what one is capable of are too very different things. I began to ask myself if Chris really wasn 't as crazy as some people thought. Then I realized it was quite possible that the reason people thought he was crazy was because he had died trying to fulfill his dream. If he had walked away from his adventure like Krakauer, people would have praised him rather than ridicule. So I asked the question, "How does Krakauer 's life parallel Chris McCandlesses?"…

    To many families the prospect of owning land was the central driving force that brought them to the land known today as the wild Wild West. Much propaganda was in existence during this period of rapid growth, many promoting the wonderful resources that the west contained. The landscape of the West was one without trees and other natural markings, water was scarce, and unpredictable weather changes often made life on the frontier difficult. Emigrants were often ignorant of the climate and made the voyage anyway, as seen in document C. The journey west was made by wagon. Food shortages and disease often plagued the emigrants. Also the unpredictable climate cause more hardships. The emigrants chose areas that they…

For example when Hushpuppy got connected to nature she would hear a heartbeat or her mother talking to her.

    The western frontier is full of many experiences that changed the frontier. Each significant event has an important role on the shaping of society and way it influenced a new nation. Each author brought a new perspective and thought process to the western experience which either contradicted Turner or supported his theories. The frontier ideas that interested me include topics such as trading frontier, farming frontier, nationality and government, and the neglecting of women.…

    I was a camp counselor at Camp Wabikon ‒ a co-ed overnight summer camp located in Temagami, Ontario for children who are 6-15 years of age. Along with teaching Red Cross swimming and lifesaving and Tennis, I was my cabin's 'parent' for six weeks. Therefore, I was present with the children at all times. In essence, I was the leader of my cabin's the physical, social and mental development. The main things I learned were the importance of time management and organization , as I had to plan lessons for swimming and Tennis while taking care of my cabin; conflict resolution between campers; and the ability to plan and foresee events (I had to plan camp-wide events and activities for all campers).…

    For many Americans, going to a summer sleep-away camp as a child is an experience to be treasured well into adulthood. Present and former campers often speak of the experiences and the friendships that resulted from their time at sleep-away camp as some of the most important and meaningful ones of their lives. Critics, however, often view summer sleep-away camps in a very different way, insisting that they are elitist and that the children who are sent there miss out on valuable bonding time with their parents and the friends who live in their hometowns.…
