Slush Wet Love Pretzels Snow
363 wordsI'm really not sure how a lot of things I took away from Cheryl Brown's Lecture related to the Canterbury Tales, but they are worthy of reaction nonetheless. I wonder really if we are limited in the English Language with a word like "love" that can mean so many different things. We have to take the word in context to fully understand its degree.

Mountain Snow Cold
697 wordsI was the first person to ski off of the chairlift that day, arriving at the summit of Whitetale Mountain. It was the type of day when the clouds seemed to blanket the sky, leaving no clue that the sun, with its powerful light, even existed anymore. It was not snowing, but judging by the damp, musty, stale scent in the air, I realized it would be only a short time before the white flakes overtook the mountain.
