    Mcmillan's Grapes: Chapter Analysis

    1. McMillan’s thoughts about the problems with the wages in the produce industry in the “Grapes” chapter were disturbing. She writes, “most of the price tag at the store pays for the system that moves it from place to place-not the wages in the field.” She later goes on to say “So if the farmer is only getting 16 percent of what we pay for food, what share is being paid to me, the worker in the field?” The wages being low for the agriculture industry are shocking to me because as discussed in class, the agriculture industry is needed for human’s wellbeing.…

    Personal Narrative-Martha Ruth Smith

    Their first baby, a daughter, was born in January 1922, when my mother was 26 years old. The second baby, a son, was born in March 1923. They were renting farms; my father, besides working his own fields, also was a hired man for two other farmers. They had no capital initially, and had to gain it slowly, working from dawn until midnight every day. My town-bred mother learned to set hens and raise chickens, feed pigs, milk cows, plant and harvest a garden, and can every fruit and vegetable she could scrounge. She carried water nearly a quarter of a mile from the well to fill her wash boilers in order to do her laundry on a scrub board. She learned to shuck grain, feed threshers, shuck and husk corn, feed corn pickers. In September 1925, the third baby came, and in June 1927, the fourth child – both daughters. In 1930, my parents had enough money to buy their own farm, and that March they moved all their livestock and belongings themselves, 55 miles over rutted, muddy…

    Characters in Animal Farm Essay Example

    Old Major is the inspiration which fuels the Revolution and the book. According to one interpretation, he could be based upon both Karl Marx and Vladimir Lenin. As a socialist, George Orwell may have agreed with much of Marx, and even respected aspects of Lenin. According to this interpretation, the satire in Animal Farm is not of Marxism, or of Lenin's revolution, but of the corruption that occurred later. However, according to Christopher Hitchens: in the book, "the aims and principles of the Russian Revolution are given face-value credit throughout; this is a revolution betrayed, not a revolution that is monstrous from its inception." Though Old Major is presented positively, Orwell does slip in some flaws, such as his admission that he has largely been free of the abuse the rest of the animals have had to suffer. Old Major introduces the animals to the song Beasts of England.…

    Out Out By Robert Frost Model Answer

    The peaceful setting of the farmyard is deceptive as it is situated within view of the scenic ‘Five mountain ranges one behind the other/Under the sunset far into Vermont’. This calm tone conveys the impression of a safe, quiet, rural spot away from the noise and bustle of the city. Here the senses of sight, smell and touch are evoked as the ‘dust’ from the cut wood was ‘Sweet-scented ...when the breeze drew across’ the yard. However, the workers, including a boy whose age and name remain unknown to the reader, are too engrossed in their chores to appreciate the surrounding natural beauty.…
