The dust bowl It’s been eighty years since the dust bowl roared across the southern great plains. This massive dust storm blew from 1934 – 1937 forcing millions to flee their homes with most heading west to California This massive, destructive storm was both manmade and a natural disaster. It was caused by the lack of dryland farming to prevent erosion and severe drought. The dust bowl affected these states; Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Colorado, and Kansas.

As I was excitingly woken up by my brothers on Christmas, I ran downstairs to see what I had gotten. I opened my presents like I do every year, and got excited about them like every year, and then thanked everyone for my presents like every year. As we had just finished up opening presents, expecting no more, my mom told my brothers and I that there was one more present and got out her phone. Whenever my mom pulls out her phone, the family knows she’s about to record something or take pictures…

The Hansel and Gretel stories can relate to the Hunger Games because their motivation is hunger as well. They come from a poor family and their parents do not have enough money to feed their children. In order to make their lives a little less stressful, they lure their children into the woods and leave them behind. In Brothers Grimm Hansel and Gretel it states “Listen to me, answered the wife. “Tomorrow at the break of day we’ll take the children out into the darkest part of the woods. We’ll…

Rhetoric, it has been around since before ancient Greece and it is one of the most important components of literature and communication, yet many people have no understanding of it, or even what it is. This may be due to the fact that rhetoric has deep and complicated concepts with so many different perspectives to look at it, or because it is in essence actually so simple. Creating a concrete definition of rhetoric would be extremely difficult because of the many different meanings it has…

Coping With the Challenges of The Great Depression The Great Depression was the aftermath of the roaring twenties. “The Depression transformed American life. Hundreds of thousands of people took to the road in search of work. Hungry men and women lined the streets of major cities” (Foner, 751). Even “thousands of families [were] evicted from their homes, moved into ramshackle shanty towns, [and] dubbed Hoovervilles that sprang up in parks and abandoned land” (Foner, 751). In the “Great…

“I thought he had a typical first day,” said Lovie Smith on 1st overall pick Jameis Winston’s first day with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. “We saw a lot of good things today.” Sure, Winston is a very talented player, a BCS National Champion, and the 2013 Heisman Trophy winner; but unfortunately the name ‘Jameis Winston’ draws to mind a lot more than his accomplishments on the field. His career has been shrouded in scandal and misbehavior since he arrived at Florida State, with the rape allegation…

Last Sunday the Buccaneers secondary just got destroyed by Case Keenum. Honestly, if I didn't know it was the Kennum playing I would have thought Peyton Manning came out of retirement to play in this game. Keenum threw for 369 yards and 3 touchdowns. The Vikings just picked apart Ryan Smith and Vernon Hargreaves all game. On the first drive, Adam Thielen just straight beat Vernon on a double move for 45-yards. That set up Dalvin cooks questionable touchdown run. Adam just ran right passed…

In my opinion is that the government should make the canyon a park. The canyon would make an excellent park for people to go and enjoy. Where is Georgia's "Little Grand Canyon" The Canyon is located in Bumpkin, Georgia. It is near the Alabama border. The canyon was not a really a canyon. In the 1800s farmers began growing the time period's most profitable crop. The way they made the area look like it is today is by cutting down all the trees and started plowing and planting seeds in long…

Since before I learned to walk I've had a desire for football. Madrid, Iowa was built on football and is known for it. I was the first child born in my family, so I didn't have an older brother to teach me how to play. My uncles took care of that by making me do drill after drill to get better, ever since I started walking. As I grew older, my youngest uncle louie and I became inseparable. I was about eight years old when he was a sophomore in high school and his football career was…
