THE PICTURE

It was a pleasant summer day in the foothills of Island Park, where a group of high school students were having a nice gracious retreat. They weren’t just any high school student’s, they were the head mob of the school, the student government. Now this was a group essentially of smart kids apart from two chancy individuals who would do, for the most part, anything they were told. Their names were Tyler and Alisha.
The students were camped out in one of their peers’ family cabin. It was a very spacious cabin with many big windows. There were many big trees around the cabin and a large stream in the back yard. The students seemed very careless out enjoying the stream. It was deep enough for them to float down in canoes, and also had the shallow areas where they could just simply relax. Now this is what most of the students were doing while Alisha and Tyler were out exploring nature around the area. They presumed they wouldn’t see much around the cabin due to the noise and humans around. They didn’t mind though, they were just out adventuring, trying to find stuff that could outdo others fun.
They get back to the cabin, Alisha eating some peanuts she had brought with her, and Tyler drinking a soda. While walking to the backyard they notice everyone is out of the water and somewhat standing nearer to the house. Immediately realizing something overwhelming has to be going on Tyler asked the advisor, Jason, what was happening. Jason pointed out the cow moose and two younger moose’s standing across the stream in marshy area, daring Alisha and Tyler to take their picture by them.
Always ready for a dare, Alisha set her peanuts down along side Tyler’s soda on the embankment of the stream. They were on their way across the stream and getting to the marshy vicinity. They achieved at getting around 20 feet to the moose’s. Looking back noticing everyone had entered the cabin and all their eyes were staring out many of the numerous windows. Alisha then claimed they were not yet close enough. Onward they trudged through the guck. They were as close as they had the courage for, being only approximately ten feet from the moose’s. As Tyler snapped the picture, that snapped the moose! The momma moose looked up freaked out and bound toward them. With not much room to spare they ran like a bat out of hell. Alisha lost her flips flops in the guck of the marsh as she got to into the stream she had stepped right onto a small fish which caused her to slip and fall. This could have easily caused her to drown if Tyler hadn’t been there.
Losing the camera in the creek with all their adrenaline rushing, they looked up to notice a somewhat large squirrel stealing Alisha’s peanuts. Tyler yelled at the squirrel to leave. The squirrel did exactly as told, leaving with the nuts and all, turning to run away he whacked Tyler’s soda right over with his big bushy tail.
With a few scrapes and bruises and losing the bag of nuts, Tyler’s soda, and the nice camera they were still alive! With no picture to prove what they had done, the two students were just happy they had a whole group of people observe them do their victorious stunt! As soon as they looked up to assume a whole crowd be cheering from them, their was no one even there. Apparently a bird flew through an opened window smacking another student right in the side of the face, causing all eyes to draw on her. The story of the killer moose was a total let down. No one believed it.
Now was this a huge set up from all the animals. To obviously humiliate the mankind and make them sound like fools while telling conquering stories. With the moose being the attraction. The animals clearly had three different plans, plan A, B, and C. They are lucky they did too, because humans are outsmarting them and that’s what makes them so upset. The animals Plan “A” being to have the moose attract the human and scare them causing them to slip on the suicide fish, lose the camera and drown. Plan “B” being if the humans don’t drown, having the suicide bird smash into a spectator sending attention elsewhere. Both of these plans are just to harm and embarrass mankind. Now the story of the picture will never live on. Now plan “C” was were the squirrel came in. They made sure that either way if Alisha and Tyler had lived or drowned they would still be upset about the squirrel stealing her nuts and tipping their soda.
If this is not enough information to make you change your mind, it has to be because the animals have already taken your soul in someway. You need some therapy.

ANIMALS!

I believe that Tim Bedore is a bit wacko when it comes to this animal conspiracy stuff. Although reading his stories are very entertaining and do ravel my mind! Thinking of all of it is so true, squirrels are crazy and will try anything, especially to make you lose your mind! They are always looking at you but run away when you get close, they always seem to be spying! Fish are also crazy, making you go underwater to explore them, its actually so they can explore you more. But i guess if you really think about all this stuff you can change up so many stories to make them sound all sorts of crazy. Just taking a walk down the road to Grandma's house I'm sure you could make up a freaky story about the old man neighbor who always seems to be watching your every move out his front window. Our human minds definitely trick us and make us disbelieve a whole lot of things. We seem to always think the worst rather than the best. But who knows what those darn animals are thinking. Maybe they ARE trying to take over the world!

This class was the only English class that I think actually helped me out and taught me more about writing papers. Most English classes are all about words and punctuation. Sure that's nice to know, but we have to know how to write a good paper also. What helped me the most had to be the individual help we got from Price. Also the comments on the papers helped a ton. It made me go back through my paper and actually read it and look at all the mistakes. Instead of a high school version where it just lets me know what I did good. Price actually helped me out a lot more by telling me what was wrong in the paper! The class was very good all together, it taught me a lot about college papers that I will definitely need to know for future classes.
