Missoula Discussion One Missoula by Jon Krakauer is a compelling yet unnerving story of Allison Huguet, and the sexual assault epidemic at The University of Montana. Allison is a student, at Eastern Oregon University, who is assaulted while visiting her hometown of Missoula Montana. I like how this book not only tells Allison’s story, but told the story of many other girls in the same town. After introducing Allison the book later tells the stories of Kelsey Belnap, and Kerry Barrett. They were both raped in Missoula and both of their cases were brushed aside by the police department.
The author of American Wasteland, Jonathan Bloom, uses many techniques to steer readers in his direction. Bloom talks about a big issue concerning American in 2010 and is still an issue today in 2016, six years after he wrote this book. As a result of broad research, the main issue today is expiration dates and how state regulations and laws promote food waste (Linnekin). As other books, articles, and documentaries explain this issue they use evidence, positive and negative connotations, and bias to connect with a general audience or supporters.

They made sure to stay on the path because they knew it would be easy to get lost on such rugged terrain where much of the foliage looks the same. It was a rather uneventful afternoon until Jack twisted his ankle and landed with a thud on the hard path. He let out a loud groan as he hit the ground. “Woah Jack.” Tony exclaimed, “Are you alright?”
An epilogue is the final part of the novel, and it gives a summary after the main parts in the novel. The epilogue gives an interesting conclusion for the readers, and it takes about the characters future. It would be better to read an epilogue in a novel because it gives a final explanation of events in the story which is impressive for the readers. 2.

In December, my family and I went skiing in Colorado. We like to go see our family, and participate in winter sports. Our two favorite sports are tubing and skiing. When we arrived at Colorado there were ten inches of snow on the ground. We had a choice to go back to my grandparent’s house or go tubing and then go back.
Elaine stopped to pose for a photograph alongside a sign at the trailhead’s entrance that posted instructions for garbage; pack it in, pack it out, a caution sign for hikers about entering an unmaintained trail, and finally something about a warning of bear sightings. As Jack snapped a few pictures I could sense the eagerness and anticipation as they’re body language spoke of excitement of what was yet to come. It was shaping up to be a cold, wet journey and fortunately I was prepared for most anything Mother Nature could dish out on this mid-September day. I could see Holly feeling the cold as she tensed her hands under the cuffs of her newly acquired soft shell jacket. It was 47 degrees and there was no sign of sunshine and no guarantee that it would be any warmer 1,200 feet higher on the summit.

I had been bugging my dad, since the day we got there, if we could go swimming with the dolphins. He told me that he walked to the Dolphin Marina while we were at the water park on Monday. He said that they were full but if they had any opening they would call on Wednesday. We walked down to the lobby to meet up with some other families who were also there because of Principal Financial Group. That’s when I saw a sign saying ‘Deep Sea swimming with dolphins,’ at that moment I got really excited and I looked at my mom
Before I achieved victory in becoming the person to earn riches and to eradicate the humanoids, it was a normal American Suburban Life for me.

I have brown hair, black eyes, average height, about 140 pounds and was in high school, sophomore and I guess you can say fit. Anyway...
Logan Cooper Mrs. Manst Freshman Literature 26 October 2015 The Barn It was raining. They were just small droplets of water, but they were as cold as a Siberian night. My car had just broken down in the middle of nowhere, effectively stranding me. Not quite the middle of nowhere, but pretty close to there.
Last year my mother and friends talked me into going on the school ski trip at Pebble Creek, and I’m glad I went because it was exhilarating. First, I came to school happy as can be. My friend Addy and I just wandered around because we weren’t leaving for about 10 minutes.
