Within the years 1865 and 1900, changes in farming allowed for the increased production of crops such as wheat, corn and cotton. Technology allowed the Great Plains to be opened to agriculture. Perhaps the most important advances were John Deere's steel plow (which made it much easier to break the thick and heavy soil of the area) and barbed wire (which could keep livestock out of fields). Also, according to Document A, in 1870, the production of wheat was 254 million bushels, cotton had a production of 4,352 million bushels and 1,125 million bushels of corn were produced. By 1900, the production of wheat, cotton and corn had increased to 599 million bushels, 10,124 million bushels and 2,662 million bushels respectively. This is the direct…

Although it is recalled in Jeannette Walls’s memoir Glass Castle her hard and difficult childhood, Jeannette Walls says that “we were luckier than other kids.” This is because of the fact that the Walls children have each other. Lori, Brian, and Jeannette continue to look after each other throughout their childhood. When Billy Deel starts attacking the Walls children with a BB gun, Lori “had Dad’s pistol, and she pointed it dead at Billy” (Walls 88). Although Lori is the most unlikely of any of the children to shoot the gun, she does it anyway in order to protect her family. In addition, Jeannette spends her whole summer working to earn money in order to support Brian and Maureen. Even after paying for food and other necessities, Jeannette…
Do Frazier's "How to Operate the Shower Curtain" is a very funny way of making fun of extremely complex instructions for simple things, like shower curtains. Even the article is a littler but it still can catch your attention all the time. I really like his way to introduce the things to the audience. In the essay he goes on and on about different scenarios that may occur while operating a shower curtain. The essay is funny because it reminds me of some instruction that i have seen on very simple things. I usually get bored when I see introductions without images, but in this one, it tells you something funny and which may happen for real and it also very easy to imagine.…

It appears as soon as Rex Walls even brings about the notion of building a glass castle, it was a dream, and something to aspire to, just like everyone has dreams for their future.…
The story takes place in an old, worn down museum where the Delver glass is located. There are also several other examples of bleak and remote setting for example, “As they drew closer to the roof of the rambling structure, it became oppressively hot in the dark upper galleries” (King). The author used those words because that’s where they’re putting the delver glass. The room where the delver glass is located is very bleak and remote for example, “The gable room was explosively hot, lit only by one cobwebby, many-angled window that filtered the hard outside light into a dirty milky glow” (King). The author makes the delver glass room seem extremely bleak, remote, and…
