From the beautiful boat, the awesome views, and the entertainment this was unforgettable. Upon boarding the Branson Belle, the boat was beautiful along with the sights, the meal was the very impressive and last but not least the cruise onto the beautiful Take Rock Lake. The 1890’s- style paddle wheeler is beautiful sitting out on Table Rock Lake. She can hold up to 700 passengers. (DeJong & Lebet, LLC.)The boat 278 feet in length and 112 feet in height to the top of the stacks. These very tall black and gold smokestacks stand at the front of the boat. The boat itself is yellow with a bright red trim. The one exterior deck, on
the very top of the ship, you can see the captain’s wheelhouse with a huge wooden wheel. The view from the top is breathtaking, you have many beautiful views of Table Rock Lake, while taking in the fresh air and smell of the water beneath us. Once inside the boat the theater/dining area having three levels and large windows with beautiful views of the lake. The décor was that of the 1800’s, and pictures of the Branson Belle over the years. The scents throughout the ship were mouthwatering coming from the food being prepared in the ships galley. The three course Dinner was propyl served first the crisp salad with an amazing balsamic vinaigrette dressing, then on to the main course the beautifully grilled Ribeye was served with mixed vegetables and seasoned red potatoes perfectly arranged on a large white plate trimmed in red.. Once dinner was over the waiter quickly presented the dessert, it was to die for. Now on to the show, seated on the balcony in the Captains Club the view was perfect. The 20 cast members, including singers, dancers and musicians put on a spectacular show. They sang and danced to all types of music it was entertaining for all ages. Looking around everyone is singing and clapping to the music, it was all smiles. Then when the musician come on stage, he was good had a lot of people oohing and awing at his magic. The show was very interactive with the attendees, bringing both young and old to assist in his magic. Not only was he a musician he was a comedian as well, everyone laughed enjoying his performance. But the best part of the show was when they recognizes our veterans both active and retired. It was amazing everyone standing to sing “The Nation Anthem”. After the song they ask everyone to be seated except for our veterans and then a huge round of applause was given to them both men and women that served our nation. It gave me chills that they honored them in that way. The ship may have docked and the experience was over, but the memories never will be. I talked about that dinner and cruise for days after. All the breathtaking views, the amazing meal and entertainment. The boat was like the ones I had only seen on television, it was truly an unforgettable experience. Works cited Dejong & Lebet, LLC.
As I looked out the window of the restaurant, I could see the sun bouncing off the sparkling water below. Boats and other water craft scatter the water as well as people on water-skis and inner tubes. The picturesque view makes life seem so much better and just looking at the river makes a person calmer. The scene just described is the view from the window of a restaurant called Sophia in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and the corresponding river is the mighty Mississippi. Although Minnesota is the land of 10,000 lakes, this scene could be found right here in the valley of Phoenix. The way this is possible is through the Rio Salado Project.

In The United States the number of people in prison is over two million, and of those two million it is estimated that two thirds of them will be back in prison within three years (Correctional Populations). Some people argue that rehabilitation is the most effective way to handle prisoners, but the risks don’t outweigh the benefits, especially for murderers. Nobles was an example of a murderer who appeared rehabilitated, but under close examination of his actions, he was no more than a manipulating sociopath. Nobles was not rehabilitated because his actions in court showed how he felt, his faith was a facade, and he was a schizophrenic.

Hello, I am Ida Tarbell. I was an American journalist who was born on November 5, 1857, in Erie County, Pennsylvania.

The small producers, like my father were forced to sell the oil he produced to Standard Oil. My father was one of the few people who chose not to do this and he struggled because of this. I accepted a teaching job in Poland, Ohio, but I walked away from
