...The Last Float Trip – analysis By Mads Brögger Klausen Summary The short story is about a 15-year old girl named Sam. Her father and she have been taking float trips as long as she can remember, but Sam has been offered a scholarship to a boarding school, and therefore this year’s trip seems to be the last one. Along with Sam and her father two others are joining them for the trip, Sam’s uncle Harry and a client of his, whose name is Laydon. With him Laydon is bringing a couple of guns, including a ‘’Nine-millimeter Ruger semiautomatic gun’’ which he intends to teach Sam how to use. She gets pretty good at it, but decides that her father must not know about the shooting. This little secret brings Laydon and Sam closer together and results in a creepy situation one night around the fire after Harry and Sam’s father have gone to bed. Laydon tries to touch Sam on some private spots, but she is clever enough to stop him and walk away. At the end of the trip Sam tells her father that she is now determined to accept the scholarship, maybe because he has discovered a bullet in Sam’s pocket just seconds before. Who is Sam? Sam is right on the edge of saying goodbye to her childhood and this trip makes her take the step to become a more independent and sophisticated young woman, this is also the story’s main theme. In the start of the float trip she is very nervous, shy and furthermore she is unsecure about her own person. At the end of the trip Sam has experienced a lot of new things...

...Adventures of a Long Road Trip Back in the Fall of 2006, my wife and I decided to take the kids to Disneyland. We left on our trip in the cool darkness of the early morning. As we drove down the road, my wife started wondering if we forgot anything. We were about four blocks away from the house when she yelled out a few choice words, then said,’ We forgot the package from the travel agent!" I turned around immediately and went in and grabbed it. As we got to about the same spot, she remembered another thing we had forgotten. This happened about three times. That should have told me right there that this was going to be a trip for the ages. The trip all the way to Disneyland went off without a hitch. So we ventured on down to San Diego to go to Sea World. As we got closer to San Diego and driving down I-5 doing about 80 mph so we could just keep up with traffic, I thought I heard something on the roof of our Ford Expedition, where our travel bag was in a net and strapped down. When all of a sudden something in the rearview mirror caught my eye. I hollered a few choice words and said " There goes our travel bag!" It went flying in the air like a dead body falling from the sky. It landed in the third lane of southbound I-5. I pulled over to the side of the freeway, and got out to see how I was going to get it back. Luckily traffic was sort of light and it didn't hit or land on anybody's vehicle. My wife called 9-1-1 and a State Patrol officer showed up not too long after...

...Field Trip Reflection During the field trip, which was held Thursday, February 22, I have made lots of realizations. I went on a field trip to the Thronateeska and the Flint Riverquarium with all the other 7th Grade Gifted Classes with our chaperones and teachers. On this particular Field Trip, I had so much fun with my group even at the end of the day. So far, this field trip has been one of the best compared to the other ones I’ve went on. I would have never had so many new encounters if I did not go on the field trip. In the Thronateeska I watched two movies about space and the negative effects of plastic. At the Flint Riverquarium I went on a scavenger hunt about all the exhibits and herpetology class. In the planetarium at the Thronateeska...

...then. When I was 7 years old my family took our first road trip out west. We drove up through Minnesota, and South Dakota stopping at Mount Rushmore and the Needles in Custer State Park. I can still remember my parents having to drag me off the hills because I loved climbing the rocks so much. We drove all the way out to Yellowstone National Park and watched Old Faithful erupt right on cue. On our way home we stopped in Cody Wyoming and saw a genuine rodeo. When I was 9 my family took another road trip to the south west of the United States. This took about 3 weeks, 2 of which I was pulled from school. Many people would say that it’s not a good idea to pull a child from school that long....

...Going on vacation or any type of trip can be a blast. As Senior Trip is quickly approaching for seniors at Athens Bible School, there is one key element that the trip depends on. This key element is a suitcase; not just any type of suitcase, but a well packed one. Senior trip is ten days, so all your clothes in your suitcase have to last ten days. Packing for senior trip can be difficult because you have to keep in mind several elements of your trip. A well packed suitcase can decide how enjoyable a trip will be. The first key element to keep in mind while packing is where the trip is going to take place. On senior trip the bus travels through the north. Also keep in mind what will be done on the trip. For instance on senior trip they often go to plays or musicals. Always dress for the occasion, being undressed can often be embarrassing. Do some research on where the trip will be taking place to know how fancy it might be or what the culture is like. The key to going on a trip or a vacation is to be happy, so don’t be embarrassed by being underdressed remember to pack for the occasion....

...The first week of August, my family and I took a long overdue trip to Charlevoix, Michigan. This city is very dear to my Dad because he spent many of his childhood summers here. The entire trip was filled with crazy stories, some of which may have been illegal, as my dad and his siblings relived old memories. Charlevoix, located in northern Michigan, makes for a great summer getaway because of the mild temperatures and rich history. I have always been very interested in my family’s ancestry, and this would be the perfect spot to discover more of it. If had a ticket in my hand and could go anywhere, I would to my Dad’s childhood in Charlevoix in the late 1960s. I would meet him and his siblings as children, I would meet my grandparents and great-grandparents who all passed away before I got the pleasure of meeting. They would tell me stories of their childhood and what America was like when they were growing up. I have always been fascinated with the 1950-60s because it was an important time in American history. From the Vietnam War to the unique fashion of this decade, everything is so captivating to me. It would be very interesting to have been able to experience this time period hands-on. I would swim in the freezing Lake Michigan, or refreshing as the Michiganders would call it. I would eat tons of sugar filled fudge and have a...

...Minnesota My family and I are going to Minnesota for our grandparents 50th wedding anniversary. I was very excited to go except getting there felt like the longest car ride if my life. I had to sit in the back row of the car with my little brother. Even though the car ride wasn’t that fun it was soon to be just worth it. Our first stop was Minneapolis. There we stayed at a hotel. Our hotel room wasn’t that good though. There were ceilings dripping water and it wasn’t big enough for 7 people, but we made it work. In the morning my brother and I were up before anyone else so we decided to just go to the hotel breakfast. We tried to take a long time to eat so we could give the rest of my family some time to wake up. So, after a 45min breakfast our family still wasn’t ready yet. So we took some apple juice with us and went back upstairs to our room. When I got to the room everybody was still asleep. So my brother and I just sat on the couch waiting until it was time to leave. My parents surprised me by saying we were going to mall of america. My family and I played at the amusement park the whole day. There were a lot of cool rides like the brain scrambler, orange scream and the log ride. After we spent the whole day at Mall of America, our family it the road again. Now we were heading to Garfield, MN. When we got to Garfield my family and I stopped at Walmart to get food for the week. So we got all the food, then headed to the resort to stay for 1 week. When I got there I help...

...Traveling is something my family has always done since I was born. Many times we do day trips, but we always try to have a summer trip to a place that's more than a day's travel away. Our main trip this summer was to Key West, Florida. It was a wonderful experience. Other interesting places we’ve traveled to in the past was Kerala (India), the Smoky Mountains, Toronto, and Chicago. These trips not only made me more adventurous, but it also taught me valuable lessons that can help me for my future. During these adventures, I was able to see the different interactions between people. Just traveling to different areas, near and far, exposed me to cultures that I wasn’t so familiar with. It was interesting to see that we’re not so different from...

...take year 8 students from our school to attend our trip.We changed our choice because we thought that it was the most convenient year for us in terms of organization and discipline in edition whole Y8 group,had not being on a trip in a last academic year.The proximate age of students is 12-13 years old,they are not very small children,which makes easier to control them and contact with them,but also they are not adults,for that reason we would have enough authority to organize them and carry out an successful trip. We had a lot ideas where we can go,but we decided to narrow all these down to the 3 most convenient places:Benidorm,Alicante and Valencia.We discussed each in terms of cost,interest and convenience for all of participants.We distributed our work among group members:Patricia,Sofia and Valeria made the feasibility including a SWOT analysis of Benidorm,Dario did the SWOT analysis of Valencia,and I did of Alicante. *fesibility studies Mission statement: The mission statement was to develop and improve the student's knowledge about their own country and what they can find in nearby cities.Creating a pleasant and nice atmosphere for children and staff by organizing and exciting entertaining and what is really important is educational day trip.

...So Much Water So Close To Home Raymond Carver This short story by Raymond Carver is about this man called Stuart. Stuart lives with his wife Claire. The story is told from Claire, and her perspective. In the start, the story takes place at a river, some miles away from Stuart and Claire’s home. At this river Stuart and some of his friends, is out for a real man trip. They are fishing, drinking and doing all, of such things men does on a trip like this. In the middle of this trip, one of the men finds a dead body of a girl, in the river. They do not call the police, because they will not ruin the trip. So they decide to call the police after the trip when they was about to go home. Stuart comes home and telling this story to Claire, and that’s really where the story takes start and the action first begins. Shortly after this we can see, that the real action, is about, Stuart and Claire’s relationship, and how Claire is. The settings in the start are at a river, miles away from Stuart’s home. It’s not described very well, but I have an imagination, at how this place the men is at, is a normally place in a forest near a river. Maybe there is a bonfire place, with some stones around it, and they are sitting there in a circle. Otherwise the story takes place several different locations, there isn’t described very much in this short story. A characterization of Claire: In the text, it appears that Claire is mentally ill. It is only, if you read the whole story, it makes sense...

...was saved, however, he was diagnosed with uremia, which surely caused by the physical contractions between the toxic drug chemicals and my son’s body, according to the doctor. The medical payment for my son is extremely high, so, I have to find some other way to make more money. Normally, people like me in Mexico have two ways to make more money. One is the easier way by dealing with drug; another is the harder way by crossing the US boarder to chasing dream in America. I hate drugs, so, there would be only one option for me. Trip to US Making a decision is hard, especially for this kind. But, like I said, I don’t have any choices. I have to go for myself, my child and my whole families. In Mexico, there are many travel agencies which offer “special service” to help the travelers cross the border. After comparing services and doing some researchers, I finally chose one agency and paid them 3,500 peso one-time fees. The agent promised me that the trip will be easy and safe; however, it came out with a nightmare. I left my home on the...

...time that I have applied leadership and an immense amount of communication is when my family and I head down to Mexico on a missions trip. Once a year we pack our bags and head across borders driving a total of 16 hours, going into the heart of Mexico we drive through Chihuahua City arriving at a little town called Anahuac. Inside Anahuac is an orphanage called “Casa de la Esperanza,” it is filled with laughter and a second chance for kids who never got the attention and love they deserved. This orphanage has roughly 40-70 kids a year ranging in size, age, and backgrounds you would never wish on anyone. Hearing some of these children’s stories and where they came from would never reflect on who they were on the inside, all these kids want is love and friendship and they would quickly give it back. The very first time we arrived at Casa a lot was going through my mind, since this was a new experience that was out of my comfort zone. I felt times like these really help expand and push limits of leadership and communication that benefit and support a community in need. Casa is truly an amazing place that focuses their vision not on themselves but on the neighboring community, they supply and conduct food drives, medical exams and taking care of whatever else needs to be done in the town of Anahuac. After hearing what was expected of us in this trip I knew I was going to thrive and truly help make a difference. Casa takes in these children...
