Austin De Castro Mr. Markert U.S. History H-7 5/20/11 Abraham Lincoln: Good or Bad Wartime President?

Odelia Clark September 23‚ 2010 Journal Entry A Modest Proposal By Jonathan Swift Even though it was a satirical essay‚ you could read between the lines the anger he had towards the English Protestants that inflicted abuse on the Irish Catholics. The part I really enjoyed was his reference to the children being substantial enough for the landlords‚ since they had already devoured the parents‚ meaning the landlords had robbed them in a sense they had eaten them up‚ I just like the way he put

Dear Journal‚it took us a bit longer to reach the South Pass. It’s been hotter than hell‚ and I feel like I’ve lost my weight in sweat. The tires are so thin and the trail is so sandy that we get almost no traction. The continental divide was a neat landmark. I hadn’t known about it until the book told us. Tomorrow we’ll take the Sublette-Greenwood Cutoff‚ which just means more desert. My kids look like death‚ but they put on a brave face for my wife and I. Tomorrow we cross the river‚ and I think
