Free entry, but if you want you can give an economical support.

d) Why did you choose to visit this park?
Because at first when I saw the map, the first state that I pointed was Montana so I decided to visit a park of that state because I couldn’t fight with the curiosity. Then I saw the announcement of the Glacier National Park and there was a photo of an adorable animal in that, so I decided to enter to that park.

I can camp, I can walk through the forests and up mountains, I can take a backpacking for to see the wild side of the park, I can take a boat cruise for learn about geology and the history of the park, I can ride a horse and explore historic and contemporary routes. I can fish, I can skiing, I can bicycle, I can go boating through the lakes. Also I can learn stories of Native Americans. I can take a tour the Going-to-the-Sun Road in a Red Bus or learn all about the Blackfeet Indian culture in motor coaches. I can see high temperatures with sunny skies but later I can see snow showers and falling temperatures in the same day.

The accidental tourist by Victor Gochi

“THE ACCIDENTAL TOURIST”

“The accident tourist” is a novel written by Anne Tyler. She was born in Minneapolis in 1941. She has written nearly twenty novels.
The accidental tourist was published in 1985 and it won the National Book Critics Circle Award. Also this novel was filmed. For this reason, I can say this novel is well-known.

The novel takes place in Baltimore, It’s set in a urban country nearly the 1980’s.
The main character is Macon Leary, a kind man; he’s tall, and a gray-eye man, with a short fair hair and the kind of skin that easily burns. He tries to have a life without complications. He tries to have everything in order. He has a good organization. Another character is Sara, she is Macon’s wife, she’s a thin person, and she has a short hair. Her skin is pale. She has some troubles in her life because of her son’s death, Ethan Leary dead before the story began but he’s an important character in the story.
Edward is a dog, but he’s a central point of the story. He is small with short legs. He barks and jumps a lot. He’s an anxious dog.
Also appear in the story Rose Leary, Macon’s younger sister, and Charles and Porter, Macon’s older brothers. Julian Edge is the Macon’s boss. He is a young and a cheerful man. Muriel Pritchett is a god trainer, she has a long and black hair, her eyes era small, and her face is sharp and colorless. Her legs are like sticks. He is divorced and has a kid. His name is Alexander, hi has health problems. He is nine years old. He is small, white with a short thin hair and blue eyes. He wears glasses.
The novel tells the story about Macon who writes guidebooks for people who have to travel on business but don’t want to feel outside home.
He writes the accidental tourist and he shows in this book what kind of places to visit like restaurants, hotels, and what to wear in order to make them feel in home.
After Ethan died, Macon and his wife Sarah start to have problems and she wants to get a divorce. Macon stars his “single life”. One day he see Edward has behaviour problems. He has to travel and he can’t go with his dog. He take him to an animal hospital where meet Muriel. She starts to train Edward and start a relation with Macon too. A lot of things happen about his family like problems, a wedding between Rose and Julian.
Macon moves Muriel’s home and he begins a good relation with Alexander. He travels because his job. Muriel get jealous about Sarah and Macon is desperate for that reason. He travels to another country, Sarah’s starts to call him up. Macon miss her and when hi returns, he don’t go to Muriel’s house. He backed home with Sarah. Then, he has to travel to Paris. In the airplane, he discovers Muriel is there.
They go out together but he tells her, he wants stay with Sarah. He starts to feel bad, so Sarah arrived to Paris. Muriel saw her and she seemed very surprised.
In the end Sarah takes care of Macon, but he noticed he didn’t do anything by himself. He woke up on the bed. Sarah was surprised because Macon will return to Muriel. He realizes he must be with her and Alexander.

In my opinion I didn’t like me the final of the story because what I don’t learn until the end is why Macon decided to return to Muriel. I don’t understand that part and I was very confused.
What I liked best was the story in general because I think it has an uncommon story, it means I didn’t hear a story like that before. The context it was really nice and I enjoy reading it. The chapters have a god structure.
I would recommend this book to people in love because is a story about love. But I would recommend it to people who have problems with their couple in order to them notice what they have.
I discovered with this noel that it’s important to decide about your life but take care that anybody feels harm. I don’t like the Macon’s attitude because he made feel bad to Muriel and Sarah. The story has a good message: decide by yourself and make the things as you think they’re correct.

Hi: This is my homework

Hello:

My name is Tania Georgina V. G. and I`m reading "Celtic Fairy Tales" collected by Joseph Jacobs. So the fairy tale that I`m going to talk about is "Connla and the Fairy Maiden".

Connla of the Fiery Hair was son of Conn of the Hundred Fights. One day Connla was with his father and he saw a maiden with strange clothes, he asked "Where are you from", so she responded that she came from a land without conflicts, where there is not death, there isn`t offenses to god, and the land is always in holidays, where the people doesn`t grows old; they live round green hills, so people call them the "Hill Folk" . But Conn couldn`t see her, but he could hear her voice, he was so terrified because the maiden said to him that she loved Connla and she wanted to take Connla away from him, and because she offered to Connla the crown of her land.

As a consecuence Connla`s father called to his druid Coran. Conn told him the facts, so, Coran chanted his spells towards the voice, then she disappeared (and the voice too) in front of Connla`s eyes, but she had already thrown an apple to Connla.

They didn`t see her in a whole month. He was so sad, he couldn`t eat or drink anything except the apple, but when he had already eaten the apple had grown again. He had a longing, he wanted to see her again.

The last day of the month, Connla was with his father when the maiden appeared again and she began to speak to Connla. When the king heard that voice he called again to Coran. But the maiden said that Law would come so the Druid`s Magic Spells would do away.

Without remedy, Connla`s father realized that Connla since the first day when the maiden appeared, Connla didn`t speak with anybody else, it doesn`t matter if people had spoken to him. So, the king asked to him if he loved her and if he wanted to go with her and he responded yes.

So, Connla rushed away from them and jumped into the curragh, the gleaming, straight-gliding crystal canoe. Then, the king and the court, saw it glide away over the sea towards the sun, and they never saw them again and they never had news from them again.

End

Thank you for reading, good bye and see you later.
