Carter’s River Trail Ranch For this essay, I decided to write about Carter’s River Trail Ranch. You will learn how it looks, smells, and textures. This place is very special to me, therefore I decided to talk about this place. Carter’s River Trail Ranch has been in my life for quite some time now. It houses many horses, chickens, goats, sheep, dogs, and even people. To begin, I will talk about how Carter’s River Trail Ranch looks. In the entrance, there is a small hill with a flowerful tree. As you continue, you will spot a couple of horses in a square and round pen, which is located to the left. To the left, you will find many corrals filled with horses, sheep, and goats. If you look to the right, there is a long pathway that gives you
An ancient game trail once followed Hospital Creek. Lieutenant Gabriel Moraga, on his 1808 Tulare Township exploration, followed this track from the hills. When they reached the river, Moraga’s party camped before they forded the stream to explore the eastern plain. Moraga, with Fray José Viader, returned two years later. Again, they camped on the same dry, high ground.
I enjoyed the book Medicine River, by Thomas King as well as the movie, which was based on the book. Although there were profound differences between the two, they were both pleasantly constructed. Having been instructed to read the book first, I was able to experience the full effect of the story and the message that the author intended for his readers. Although the book and the movie clearly relayed the same story, I would’ve better enjoyed the movie if it had included more incidents from the book, such as the visit from Harlen Bigbear’s estranged brother, and the ‘bridge jump’. I also wish the producer would have incorporated the many flashbacks that the main protagonist, Will, had from his youth. For example, the letters written by his father to his mother; the stories about his mother and her best friend; and the relationship with his brother James, namely, the childhood pranks that they played on one another. I am, however, aware of the time constraints involved when producing a motion picture, and I realize that the script had to be somewhat altered considering the medium at hand.
In Crow Lake, Mary Lawson portrays a family who experience a great tragedy when Mr. and Mrs. Morrison are killed in a car accident. This tragedy changes the lifestyles of the seven years old protagonist Kate Morrison and her siblings Matt, Luke and Bo. The settings are very important in this novel. Though there are limited numbers of settings, the settings used are highly effective. Without effective use of themes in this novel, the reader would not have been able to connect with the characters and be sympathetic. Lawson uses an exceptionally high degree of literary devices to develop each character in this novel.
Will returns. After he opens the photo studio in the reserve, he feels like home
Red Rock West is a hood example of a new-age film noir. It has all the elements that are needed to make a film noir such as light and dark contrast, symbolic environment, the femme fatal, corruption, treachery, and deception. The film is unlike classic noir because of its use of color, irony, and humor in the movie.
When I first arrived at Indian Creek, I lived in an apartment complex called Autumn Chase. The buildings were made out of red and brown bricks. The park had many features. There was a small little kid slide that had stairs, a yellow tube, a car wheel, and a little hood over it all. Then for the big kids, there was a ticktacktoe chart, and swirling latter, rings that you climb up, a normal slide, and three combined slides that had a different pattern. The park was the first and last place I spoke with Triston...
This beauty is non-existent to the unknowing eye. However, for someone like Laura, who has been challenged and overcome by the prairie, the beauty is evident all around her: “She liked the enormous sky and the winds, and the land that you couldn’t see to the end of. Everything was so fresh and clean and big and splendid.” (75) What started as a childish excitement for something new and unknown, developed into a deep appreciation for the nothingness and open skies that seemed to go on

The first site visit is Rancho Camulos located in Ventura County. The mission statement indicates, “Rancho Camulos is a National Historic Landmark situated within a working ranch.” Everything surrounding the ranch is appealing. There is an atmospheric feeling to the museum. The docent can take advantage of this feeling by elaborating the daily life of the residents and their ranchers. There is a sense of being there during that period. This type of museum is unique because the physical location connects to the Del Valle and Rubel family. The tour stated at the chapel leading toward several rooms through the adobe. All the docents ended the tour at the schoolhouse, showing the film Ramona. Dorthea Phelan, one of many docents, is adamant about storytelling throughout the tour. Storytelling positively influences the visitor to make a connection with the presented history and their experience. Incorporating objects into storytelling provide enhances the experience for the visitor. There is clothing of several women from the Del Valle could use further elaboration. The tour contains a mixture of the Del Valle and Rubel family. At times, there is confusion about the distinction between who the Del Valle and Rubel family are. The docent notes...

I’ve always liked ranching. It was so cool to me and I wanted to know what it was like. And now I do because of the interview I had with my father, David Kidd. This story is in his point of view.
The visual surrounding the lake was perceived before the mountains was beautiful and serene. The lavender flowers near the water mirroring the colossal mountains smelled of spring. The sunset illuminated the sky making it purple and orange. The huge rocks were faultless and could be used for sitting and thinking. The warm breeze reassured that springtime was near. The lake was ideal for swimming, it was so clear. The cabins around the lake were perfect for summertime with family and friends. The clouds looked impeccable as they were angled over the mountains, their rectangular shapes resembled fluffy pillows. The snow had almost completely melted off the mountain in the distance. The environment was well needed for break within a busy life.

Being invited to a friend’s house the other day, I began to get excited about the journey through the woods to their cabin. The cabin, nestled back in the woods overlooking a pond, is something that you would dream about. There is a winding trail that takes you back in the woods were their cabin sits. The cabin sits on top of a mountain raised up above everything, as if it was sitting on the clouds.
A city girl meets a country boy that shows her that there is more to life than just being able to run down the street to the grocery store or the mall. He shows her that living on a farm can make you appreciate the little things in life. When I met my boyfriend, and he told me that he lived on eight hundred acres in the middle of nowhere; I didn’t know what to think. No cell phone service? When he took me home to meet his parents for the first time and I was in love. The land, the house, the river, it was alluring. I felt like I was in paradise. The large white house with black shutters sits up on a hill overlooking the cold, fresh Robinson River. When I...
