I'm going to be talking about John Colter and Tom Murphy's disadvantages and advantages when they were out exploring. And how hard it must have been on both of them to go out in the freezing cold, by themselves. They had to take care of themselves. It was a cold night up in Yellow Stone, when John Colter was walking around out there all by himself in the freezing cold, he even had to build his own shelter which was probably hard, so when John Colter finally had found such a good spot to put his shelter. He started building it he had a tarp
In May of 1991, a three hundred year silence was shattered with the discovery of the African Burial Ground in lower Manhattan. Widely acknowledged as one of the most significant American archeological finds of the twentieth century. Prior to the 1991 discovery, plans to erect a 34-story, $276-million federal building required that a cultural resource survey, including archeological field-testing, be completed.

Get Rich or Die Trying During the Yukon trail gold rush, many people risked their lives and many others died all because they wanted gold to have a better life and provide for their families.

This poem which was written a hundred years ago is still a relevant poem today, because of its figurative language, voice, and imagery. Robert Service’s first literary term is figurative language.

The career I chose was photojournalism because of my interest in capturing world events through a lense of a camera. A photojournalist uses images to tell a story a way no other form of media can. The photojournalist that I chose for this career research is Hiroko Tabuchi, a New York Times journalist, who specializes in Japanese economics, business, and technology.
