It is blue, fresh, and beautiful sky,
with crowd of birds flying in.
It is green, natty, and bright gross plot,
with lots of rabbit playing on.
It is brown, batch, and slant grove,
with numbers of squirrels running upon.
It is my campus, an exciting, attractive, and
fantastic place that make people feel quiet.
I like my campus, it appeals me with its
interesting scenery.
I like my campus, it attracts me with its
silent environment.
I like my campus, it makes me feel the
miracle of the nature.
That's my campus, a glorious place.

BURIED (Second-half of Blood Dazzler)
Q: What specific details stay in your mind? Why? How do these small details lead to larger ideas?
A: The most attractive details in this poem is the last two paragraphs which is "With the dirt balanced high, screaming my shoulder, I think hard on those nights of tussle and squeal. I want to feel his heat and twist in my arms again. I have to dig". Those section above makes me know the fear and loneliness that the author feels after the tragedy. She feels sad and alone like everything, every familiar things have left, and that make her write "I want to feel his heat and twist in my arms again". The author try to tell God not to abandon the people who was suffering through the worst hurricane.

Is is appealing to you? Huh, I'm pretty sure that everyone in United States remember the July 4th. That's right. This snapshot is one of my favorite photos. I heard about the demonstration from one student, and i was interested by the different way that American people celebrated their national day. People from all over the city got together and performed some creative shows on the street. I saw some people drove their beautiful cars, and i also found some people took their dogs that was dressed up on the street. On conclusion, the National Day gave me a memorable experience.
Ames is a very attractive place. Its pretty, peaceful living, and tranquil environment fascinate me very much, like a jewelery to a woman. This snapshot was photoed in a park in Ames; and I just came here and was attending an ordinary meetings by a fire-apartment on that day. I never saw a clean and blue sky before, and I was also interested by the quiet environment and the peaceful relationship between human and wild animals on that day. This photo startled me deeply.
This snapshot was photoed in 2008, the first year that i came to the United States. It impressed me because i was shocked by the green grass and a lot of trees in campus. I come from a city which is in northeast in China, and i can't find any magnificent places in my home town. It's a so pretty and peaceful place that I'm lucky to study here.

Only everything I own(Blood Dazzler)
Q:What are the major themes in this piece? Are there any minor themes as well? Is there any kind of "subtext" in this essay? What kind of murmurs run below the surface?
A:The major theme of this poem is to memory the quiet life that the author has before the hurrican. The writer had a quiet and pieceful life before the tragedy. She fulfilled her pleased daily life for a long time, but the hurricane came and broke her happiness into pieces and made her homeless, like the author wrote "hates me for everything I have". The "subtext" in this poem which i think is to make people know the sadness that the people in the disaster suffer, for instance, they have lost their family, their home, their hope.

Map Assignment
There are five ways to map the world. They are map the thing by sight, hearing, touch, smell, and taste. The entire world can be drawn by those different senses.
For the map which shows the Yosemite National Park, it catches two ways of mapping that are map by sight and touch. And the Yosemite map has left out the methods which should be map by hearing, smell, and taste. Because of in this photograph, people can find the impressive prettiness of the grove and mountain by just looking at it, and they may feel reality like they can touch the gorgeous scene.
I can represent the map in a different way. I would introduce the ways of smell and hearing to map the Yosemite. Looking at the picture, can you smell the delicate fragrance that the trees are breathing in a nice day? The trees are celebrating the glory of nature. And will you hearing the wind is flying alongside the mountain and grove, like they are the eidolon which playing games with those trees? Life is beautiful, and nature is magnificent. Then feel in the Yosemite, hear and smell in the nature, and you will experience and find the miracle in your life.

The Ninemile Wolves
Find specific examples of abstract and concrete language. What are the effects?
For concrete example in page 761: "I've interviewed maybe a hundred people for or against wolves. The ones who are "for" wolves, they have an agenda: wilderness, and freedom for predators, for prey, for everything. The ones who are "against" wolves have an agenda: they've got vested financial interests. It's about money."
This example make us to know the relationship between human and wolves, just respect their freedom or treat the wolves as too much merchandise.It reminds people realise theire ways to the wild species that humans are destroying the nature.
For abstract example which in page 765: " I get the sense that they've a little differrent. Wiser, of course-even if only bearing wise blood but not knowing it. They seem to be a little edgier-pushing for those edges."
This abstract example let the author find a differernt side of the wolves, "their wisdom", and make readers to consider a new approach of how to treat the wolves or how to consider the relationships between the nature and human beings.

from Refuge: An Unnatural History of Family and Place
What specific details stay in your mind? Why? How do these small details lead to larger ideas?
The questions is to answer the paragraphs from "I was raised" in P747 to "our attachment to each other" in the same page.
The special details remain in my mind is that the author believes in his head "that life exists before the earth and will continue to exist afterward" He is told that all the types of life is living in a spirit world, and everyone has its own place, purpose, and influence.
