white dress for marrying, a black dress for burying” (Woodrell 29). Ree exists in a patriarchal society, but she does not let her culture control her desires. In fact, she has incredible morals compared to her role models and peers.

So as we are speeding we get a little crazy, we hit 145mph in the 45 mph zone, which is no problem because we both are good drivers, well at least i thought so. We pass a police…

I was a boy scout as a kid and my troop did a lot of camping. One outing, when I was a patrol leader (that 's when you 're in 8th grade or so), we went to a place we called Pinacles. It was going normally and we were all having a good time except for the next morning I woke up to a horrible surprise. While asleep this kid in my tent wet the bed for some duration of time that allowed the piss to soak through his sleeping bag and into the tent where it soaked into my duffel bag. This was the…

The homesteader is more that just a famer and embodies a broad and contradictory spectrum of motives, affiliations, and material practices. (Wilbur, p.154). As Rebeca Kneale Gould states “the homesteader has converted to a new way of life in which the practice of everyday life is a chosen ‘answer’ to a…

Barry started remembering his dark past, how he uses to hide in the basement when the law began snooping around. After hiding out for weeks, he decided to give up running moonshine for a more lucrative business.

Well, I’m too old and too tired to run from the cops now,” he thinks, glancing towards his guest. “I better make sure the boy’s safe just in case there…
