Wagon

the idea of making it to California is what pushed them through the tough parts, and made it all worth it in the end. The Donner party’s failure would not have been made possible without the primitive technology in transportation. Their covered wagons caused problems all throughout their journey. Their story makes me extremely grateful for our modern planes, trains and automobiles (☺) that make traveling across the country a piece of cake. Their journey took at last 8 months, and the same trip…

The image of the oxen and the theme of the story combine into the cathartic moment of which the author sees of their society. The narrator of the story always looked for the wagon, to see inside it, but he never knew where his obsession with the wagon would take him. I think the author tries to explain about societies where many things remain a mystery, and with contradicting viewpoints, how people cannot obsess too much over something. If people become obsessive…

I have not been to Philadelphia since Nathaniel and I got married. Mother could not bear to leave the coffeehouse and Grandfather’s sword, so she stayed behind.

We just left Independence and we’re already having problems. The back right wheel kept falling apart because the extremely bumpy trail kept taking the wheel off. That took about 3 to 4 hours total just to put the darn thing back on. It's been about 3 days and we just got to the Kansas River. Throughout those days were a lot of complaining and missing home. When we got to the river, I bought a raft for myself and and Juan because he needed the help. After we crossed the Kansas River, our train…

Many a musicologist in the 20th century and before has attempted to document the effervescent and pronounced life of George Frideric Handel. Much of what these biographer's writings maintain concerning Handel's really life has had to be assumed and inferred due to lack of source material. nonetheless, there is enough available to craft some sort of clear narrative. Young Handel, though severely discouraged by his father from pursuing a life in music, could not be dissuaded. It seems to be…

cows. Johnie and Herman were the two men who took that offer and made it their life's work. Therefore, the men worked very hard in the beginning to get their business moving. They initially borrowed some money to buy one wagon. Later, they would realize they needed two wagons for delivery to keep up with the people. According to the book The History of the Hermanson Dairy, “They would later go on to trucks to get things moving faster”. Eventually, the men would either go to the north or…

The audience can visualize being in the wagon, listening to and sensing the horses’ clip-clop-clip-clop gallop. The poem’s six verses are arranged in quatrains; 8-6-8-6 is their syllabic composition, hence directing the poem in an established manner up to its conclusion. Moreover, the iambic tetrameter…

Maela felt the wagon lurch to a halt. She couldn’t see anything, but as the noise from the wagon wheels hitting cobblestones ceased, she could hear the distant murmur of voices and occasionally a shout.

As a result, the three of them had to somehow convince the captain to make the trip. Maela…
