Golden Gate Twenty Nine
1,516 words
Although Alcatraz sits in the middle of San
Francisco Bay, only a little over a mile from the
city, the island seemed as distant as if it were a
thousand miles out to sea. The island seems
uninviting and because of its un appeal, it played
an important role in the history of California.
The island had a number of uses. Alcatraz was the
site of a powerful fortress, a military prison and
a federal prison. The island is surrounded by
treacherous cross currents and five-knot tides
with a deadly unde...

You Know Not What You Have Until it is Gone As I
abandon the once freezing cold chair that has
since been warmed by my presence, I can not fight
the smile that is on my face. Maybe Im just
selfish, but I love it when there isnt a crowd,
and I dont have to share the park. Looking down
the hill, I can see that only three other people
braved the chill and had the will to get up this
early. As I work my way to a secluded corner to
strap into my bindings, my view is enhanced.

Rock Climbing In America National Parks
1,263 words
Before me spreads an ocean of grey. The granite
wall looms above me and calls in its silent voice
for me to go on, higher. Focus. My hand reaches
out, seeking the depths of the crack before me. I
make a fist and weight my body on this new hold,
first testing it, then trusting it. I reach out
with my other arm and clip my safety line to the
bolted belay station. A wave of tension flows from
my arms and brain as I breath deeply, and I relax
for the first time since my feet left the ground.

vegetation, including some trees several centuries
old. Many people used t...

How Status Effects Behavior In Society A
stratified society is one marked by inequality, by
differences among people that are evaluated by

of inequality is based on the division of
labor-which always appears according to age and
sex. But there is another form of inequality that
always appears in every society-which ranks
families rather than individuals. A family shares
many characteristics among its members that
greatly affect their relationships...

Mansfield Parks characters represented in some way
or another, however the time needed to develop
those characters is simply not there in a two hour
movie. It is this development that makes Jane
Austen's books so interesting. She spends an
