What I observed in the book of Shoeless Joe jerry would have never figure out how bad his life was before he met ray. Jerry would just stay at home all the time and stopped writing. Once Ray came into his life, he had a little bit of fun on this crazy adventure he went on. Jerry would have never found out about how much he loved baseball and found his passion again for writing. Jerry also helped Ray figure out some things. Jerry helped Ray realize how much more family is important to him by Jerry getting chosen to go with the players. Also Jerry helps ray control his jealousy by saying what you have is good and you need to be there for Karin and Annie. While Jerry gets to go because his family is all grown and they don't necessarily need him.…

Legendary individuals are rare in our history, but if they succeed their name become immortalized within certain objects or actions. William H. Bonney was a man who did what he thought was just, but he is not remembered by any means. There is no familiarity besides misconception the he was one of the famous robber couple Bonny and Clyde, but his nickname Billy the kid is a name synonymous with such harsh descriptions as cowboy, gunslinger, rebel, and outlaw.(Billy3) No facts are famous about Billy; not even stories of his adventures. He isn’t famous for being a hero, nor a villain. Billy’s fame derives from pop culture references synonymous with the Old west only. His name and reputation have lived…
Greg Donner, a missionary kid from Swaziland, in his web article “Missionary Kids” (n.d.), argues that being a missionary kid is a unique and rewarding experience that brings with it many challenges. He supports this claim by first demonstrating how many friendships end up being only surface relationships because MKs have a hard time relating to American culture (Par. 1-4), then asserts that being a MK can be beneficial by broadening views of cultures, languages and “the world in general” (par. 5) and finally he lists many common things MKs can all associate with, such as knowing the difference between 220 and 110 volts (par. 5). Donner’s purpose is to share his experiences as an archetype of a MK in order to support MKs who think that they…

This issue of Living in the West explores the love affair we have with the great American Cowboy. Call them cowhands, cowpoke, cowpuncher or buckaroos, billions of dollars have been spent chronicling their storied history. With his Stetson hat, sunburned face, weathered dungarees and boots of leather, the cowboy has gone from a ranch hand to a blue color icon. In fact, America’s love affair with the cowboy has been around longer than the name “cowboy” itself. But I’m taking a left turn here because when talking about the old west, the only thing America loves more than a Cowboy…is an OUTLAW. I’m not referring to some 13th century, tight wearing, black-death carrying, tunic sporting, pan-pipe playing aristocratic…
When it comes to raising a child, families fall into the category of either emphasizing concerted cultivation or accomplishment of natural growth. In Annette Lareau’s first chapter of, “Unequal Childhoods: Class, Race, and Family Life,” she talks a bit about the different families she researched and the various methods the parents are categorizing in about raising their child. Through her observations of these families, she noticed middle-class families practice a particular parenting style known as concerted cultivation, where the parents believe they must promote the growth and development of their child’s abilities and skills. These types of parents often push their kids to join a variety of activities and are very active in their child’s…
