Didn T T Stand

I looked ahead of myself, letting my feet do the
work, for a moment. The trail seemed so distant
and lengthy in front of me. The blue sky filled
with scattered puffy, white like cotton clouds.
The long grasses tickled at my legs, which were
covered with nothing more than my shorts. My
boyfriend and I were on our annual hike to Clear
Lake. An obviously attractive name for a beautiful
body of water. Clear Lake was an icy cold from the
glacier run off but after a 2 day hike up a

Zelda Sayre Younger Generation

Flappers of the 1920 s When one pictures a young
lady of the 1920 s, what does one see? Most often
a neatly dressed elegant woman comes to mind. Many
teenage girls are always told to act like young
women, and are given speeches of how in the old
days; everyone was on their best behavior.
Actually, this generation s youth is being misled
to how the past really was. In the-mid 1920 s the
so-called ladies werent all they seem to be. Even

Black And White Give The Picture Blue

The piece that seemed to stick out at the Foster
Gallery exhibit was La Family by Hulleah
Tsinnahjhinnie. This artwork was a digital print
done on a computer and is really quite
extraordinary. I decided to choose color as my
formal element, since there seemed to be a lot of
colors in this piece, and I love the use of color.
Color, especially when shown with black and white,
seem to jump off of the paper. They are also like
candy for your eyes. This print had two tones of

Bones Of An Animal Species Of Primates Forests

After seeing the video Gremlins: Faces in the
forest (1998) and participating in an interview
with Dr. Susan Ford, I have realized that there
are so many things that we can be taught about our
background history just by closely studying these
animals. However I was more intrigued by the fact
that more and more of these species are
disappearing off the face of the earth. After
doing some more reading, I have found that steady
loss of forests and hunting has made the primates

she made a number of attempts to kill herself. Now
cover the bottom half of the photograph, and look
at the arms and radiant face. She told me she
always felt joyous when she was rescued from those
attempts. There was of course no final rescue, but
