It all happened in a blink of an eye. Rushing to get to a late-night soccer game, a family of deer enjoying a morning stroll across the road was ruined. They must have been attracted to my new CD that I burned the night before. Young ones, just following their parents, were most interested in the downfall of my saturday night. Checking my rearview mirror to see truck tailgating me, I put my faith in the deer 's legs to move a little bit quicker. That faith came to a halt when the smallest deer toppled over the front of my car, and the larger of the two bull charged my driver 's door. Looking over to see my mirror gone, and my window practically shattered, I thought to myself, Well that could have been worse.

In Annie Dillard’s, The Deer at Providencia, two clear examples of suffering are illustrated while four people take a journey through the Ecuadorian Jungle. The reader is able to see a deer tied to a tree and a man who is in critical condition after being burnt for the second time. The author makes it clear to the reader the suffering is not the fault of the one suffering but merely a result of accident and other people’s actions. While hiking through the jungle, four North Americans come across a village that is going about their day to day lives; however, at the forefront of the village is a deer roped to a tree waiting to die for the village to be able to eat.

“It isn't fair how I doubt him, and I wonder if he'll ever gather that my loss of faith extends further than I'd ever known it would, severing lines of trust and leveling my confidence like a city-flattening tornado.” “(Webber).” This quote by Tammara Webber shows that no matter how much faith you have before in some situations it may go away in an instant making you not only wonder just how much faith did you lose and the lines of trust that was broken, but also how much you now doubt your god making you slowly grow as a new person gaining confidence as you start to go through more and more soul crushing hardships that make you think at what cost. Hard experiences that make you do and believe things you never thought you would of in your

The argument about the dwindling deer population makes incorrect assumptions based on perfunctory findings. Until more information regarding the actual and previous population of the deers, scientific investigation of the cause of these supposed deaths, or the effects of global warming are obtained; the argument fails to make a coherent case to implicate global warming. The primary assumption that the argument makes are that the reports from the local hunters are accurate. While there is no reason to believe that the hunters purposefully botched the data, this information should be used as a precursor for a more thorough investigation.

My first spirit animal is a bear. A bear represents courage, integrity, and compassion. A time where I had courage was in 3rd grade this girl was making fun of me for no reason. I had the courage to stand up to her and tell her that she was hurting my feelings and would make me feel really bad about myself. A time where I had integrity was when the cashier at the store gave me ten extra dollars I let him know, and he let me keep it for being honest with him.

Are you ready to try your hand at deer hunting with a bow? In my opinion, this is one of the most challenging, yet personally rewarding experiences that any hunter can have. Catching a whitetail from close range is a testament to your patience, stealth and skill. It takes a truly committed hunter to master the art of archery and once you do, there will be absolutely nothing you can 't do. This is a primal, perfect way of landing your prey and it will make you more adept in all other forms of hunting.

After the 5 minutes me and my dad followed the blood trail down to where the deer was and sure enough the deer was laying right there in front of our eyes. It was a 6 point with a big body and it was so pretty. At this point and time me and my dad were still shaking.

My every value stems from the one whom I believe created me from my head to my toes. Having faith in every circumstance is hard when you are placed in a situation where mentioning Jesus could get you in trouble or could make you an outcast. My story doesn’t begin with me but a little girl 7,676 miles away, and not so much her, but her mother. She was born to a 15-year-old mother in a very poor family in a remote village in Uganda, Africa.
