Miners Monologue

Improved Essays
One thing I try not to forget is that no matter how nice the Miners are to me, they’re not my friends. Not even Gator who I treat like a younger brother. Their allegiance is totally and completely to Kane. If he decided he wanted me gone I was gone, no questions asked. Knowledge like that can mess with your mind if you let it.

The club has an endless supply of pussy coming and going and they make it clear that fucking and sucking the club president is their number one goal in life. Gloria leads the pack on that front.

Gator asked me one night why I didn’t give the girls shit about not keeping a wide berth around my man. I sat back, took a long pull on my beer and explained that I trusted Kane. If he wanted to stick his dick in a whore I couldn’t stop him but I’d be gone the minute he dropped his pants. I don’t go all Jerry Springer over a man that doesn’t want to be with me. Gator gave me a look like aliens were crawling out of my ass then went around telling all the guys what I said. I have no idea what they made of my admission.

My earbuds are blocking out the street noise and I’m singing along to Plain White T’s singing 1,2,3,4 on my IPhone.

The music is blasting loud so when I notice movement at the bay doors I’m taken off guard. I turn and find three men in the shop. Whatever they’re here for can’t be good. One man has his back to me and I see the cut he’s wearing. It says, The Saints, Cullin Springs Chapter.

    During this essay, Orwell went into detail on the conditions of the coal mines and what being a coal miner is like. In doing so he uses ethos, pathos, and logos effortlessly to compel us to finish all the way through and gain an understanding of coal mining. In the same way, we are oblivious to coal miners work, we are also blind to the other types of manual labor jobs that are out there that keep us alive. In other words, manual laborers are underpaid and underappreciated.…

    Before going into this class, I always thought culture was just part of your background and you grew up with it. I saw it as something that had to do with your family history. Which, in a way it does, but that 's not what culture is all about. I always love learning more about other cultures and other people in general. Culture is not only a part of your family background, but impacts your point of view and how you see things.…
