Hobo

decided that we would make some s'mores once it gets dark. It was gonna be a normal camping trip, but the bear had other plans. The day had gone by we ended up riding our bikes for a couple hours. We returned the the campground and my mom made up some hobo pies(sloppy joe inside two slices of bread cooked over a fire). We loaded up the dogs in the van…

I am a 13-year-old girl and I choose not to take drugs. Why? Some are family reasons and the other is facts why I won't do it. Let's start with the family reasons. I had a cousin once and he got into drugs and alcohol. It really ruins him for awhile. Then when my grandma was going to kick him out because of that he decided to change. Now he is eight years clean and goes to places and makes speeches to people on why to quit. There are many side effects to drugs. Ones that affect your brain,…

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…

about them. Another piece of evidence is in Magnus Chase and the gods of asgard both characters are confident my reasons why is Magnus doesn't care what other people say or think of him neither does August my evidence is a stranger called magnus a hobo and that he has no life but he didn't let what they say bring him down because he didn't care, in the book Wonder the school had a game called the plague and it was basically like the cheese touch but when august found out he didn't…

Lennie is a murderer but he doesn't meen to be that way . In the book “Of Mice And Men” by John Steinbeck there are 2 characters Lennie and George they are pretty much hobos during the great depression jumping from one job to another. The thing is they can't keep a job because Lennie keeps messing everything up for both of them. My claim is that Lennie is isolated from everyone in the book and that's what leads up to the important events of the book. An example of Lennie being isolated is…

A message for everyone to see. A message that would normally not be socially acceptable, but is it vandalism? Graffiti stands out from other forms of artwork, not only in it’s style, but also in it’s public message as well as it’s agenda. Street art breaks the rules. It broadcasts information that people would be afraid to say or would possibly make someone uncomfortable. But is this a good thing? Is it now tolerated? Graffiti has existed dating back to ancient times of 18,000 B.C. However,…

Living in an Inner-City society is very tough, including the awful dangers and struggles within families, but can also lead to success. A lot of people view poverty differently. It depends on how you were raised and what you are raised around. To most people poverty is “ a general scarcity, dearth, or the state of who lacks a certain amount of material possessions or money. It is a multifaceted concept, which includes social, economic, and political elements.” “56.8 million people are…

the exact opposite, the word “cracker”. The word itself most people would think about as the snack you would have with cheese, but this is to describe “poor rural whites in the south”. Sometimes whites will jokingly call each other “crackers”. For hobo day in high school one girl made a sign that jokingly read “Spread some cheese on this broke cracker”. The word “cracker” isn’t heard as often but still lingers. “Nigger” was coined in the early 1800’s and is still used today, whether it’s…

strange, perverse, and unique. In kind, Rose would detail the education of one individual as, “His textbooks were Argosy and Field and Stream, whatever newspapers he’d find on the bus stop—from Daily Worker to pornography—conversation with uncles or hobos or businessmen he’d meet in a coffee shop” (161). Thus, those students whom discovered a world of educational value in the materials or individuals whom are deemed dangerous or insignificant can educate others. They can inspire an individual to…

troubled families.” Many people would leave their families and hop on trains to get away, but it was very dangerous and illegal to do so. The people running away wanted a better life and thought they would get one. Most Americans and teens became hobos, because they had nowhere to go and no money. Tapia Granados, José A., and Ana V. Diez Roux. “Life and Death during the Great Depression.” Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America 106.41 (2009): 17290–17295…
