Summary Of Seeds Of Hope: The Gold Rush Diary Of Susanna Fairchild
I searched the Esko High School on-line Card Catalog for hope as a subject and only one book came up. The fiction book is called Hobart, and the interest level is for children grades three through six. I then searched a related word (faith) as a subject entry, and it showed fifty-five results. I think more results came up for faith then for hope because faith is more commonly associated with religion than hope is. I then looked up hope as a keyword and over two-hundred results popped up; there were mostly fiction books for children grades three to six. One book that I clicked on is called Seeds of Hope: The Gold Rush Diary of Susanna Fairchild; it's "a diary account of fourteen-year-old Susanna Fairchild's life in 1849." Her mother has just

    Clara And Aubergine Of The Prospectors Summary

    The protagonists Clara and Aubergine of the The Prospectors by Karen Russell have a mutually beneficial relationship, but to a greater extent, one grounded in necessity. I will be linking this relationship to the archetypal relationship between an innocent maiden and an enabler. The innocent maiden is Clara and Aubergine is the enabler; throughout the story Aubergine entices Clara and pushes her to using her charm at parties. However, that is not to say that Aubergine did not need Clara. Clara and Aubergine needed to combine their strengths to survive on their journey to the west. Clara’s knowledge of the upper class allowed for her to blend in at social gatherings. Clara had developed a familiarity with the mannerisms of the rich and understood how to act around them. This allowed the duo to sneak into the wealthy’s parties without raising alarm. In addition, Aubergine had selective knowledge on theft, and the skills needed to get away with it. The duo played on each other’s strengths throughout their journey to the west, with Aubergine teaching…

    John Lawson's Voices Of Freedom: A New Voyage To Carolina

    John Lawson, an English Naturalist, stated in his first-hand account "A new voyage to Carolina" that; "The women are the most industrious sex in that place..." (Eric Foner, Voices of Freedom: A Documentary History, 4th ed., vol. 1 (New York: W.W. Norton, 2005), 61. ". Reffering to Carolina in that statement, to him women there seemed much more assiduous in his eyes. They all worked harder, married younger, and were most definitely successful in providing for each of their families. They made clothes so they wouldn't have to buy them, did many things around the house, and were always ready to help out wherever and whenever it was necessary. Women in Carolina seemed to do so much more, and work so much harder than anywhere he had ever seen.…

    Three Beneficial Facts About The Frontier From My Antonia

    The American West Three Beneficial Facts About the Frontier From My Antonia Westward Expansion was still a new concept for many Americans during the time of Willa Cather’s novel, My Antonia, but there had been a lot of progress as well. According to Westward Expansion: A History of the American Frontier, although the Westward Expansion began in 1803, it didn’t make its way into Nebraska until around 1867. (Billington) My Antonia was set in the 1880s, around ten to fifteen years after the first settlers entered Nebraska. Westward Expansion was still a large interest for immigrants, mainly Northern Europeans.…

    On Being Brought From Africa To America By Phillis Wheatley

    Rhyme is words that sound alike; it’s a communication of two or more words with similar-sounding ending syllables placed so as to echo one another. In the poem “On Being Brought from Africa to America” by Phillis Wheatley, a rhyming scheme is being used at the end of each sentence. Also along the same lines of this poem, the words at the conclusion of a line that rhyme with words at the completion of additional lines to show harmony. For an example Remember, Christians, Negroes, black as Cain, /May be refin’d, and join th’ angelic train (lines 8-9). The same vowel-consonant combination has used the words; Cain and train continue to produce an appealing sound. Therefore, the first four lines of this poem are about the journey of a woman from…

    Rebecca Harding Davis Life In The Iron Mills

    “Life in the Iron Mills” is a short story by Rebecca Harding Davis that tells us about industrial iron mill working life in the mid nineteenth century. I feel the need to point out what James C. Austin missed out in his article “Success and Failure of Rebecca Harding Davis”. From my perspective from what Austin has written is that he is very shallow and surface level with what he has to say in relation to the short story. Yes Davis wrote a story showing the grim lives of the industrial workers in Americas Mills, which in one way shows realism, but nowhere in Austin’s article truly describes how she does that, and I in this essay will use articles from other journalists to show that she did so, I want to make say that his points have relevancy…

    Life Without Hope In L. B. Tillit's Monster

    What is life without hope? This is a theme that we have seen over and over again in the YA novels that we have looked at in our young adult literature class. I would like to look specifically at how Edge of Ready and Unchained by L.B. Tillit, Looking for Alaska by John Green and Monster by Walter Dean Myers addresses this idea of hope. Each one of these novels approaches the idea of hope differently.…

    The Mayflower Summary

    The difficult journey of the Pilgrims began when they left England for Leiden, Holland. At the time, King James required all citizens to follow the Church of England. However like many separatists of the time, the Pilgrims wanted to worship as they pleased (4). After many years in Holland, the Pilgrims decided that it was once again time to move. While Holland was religiously tolerant, the country required the Pilgrims to work difficult jobs that were hard on their bodies. In addition to health concerns, the Pilgrims were afraid that the younger members of their congregation were losing touch with their English heritage. They felt like embarking on a journey to the New World would let them establish a community with their own religion and English culture (17).…

    Diary of a Cotton Mill Worker

    A few days ago my father was employed as a cotton weaver at the largest factory in Manchester. He was only taken in unless me, his nine year old son would also join the business. So today was my first day at the factory and I was only there for three hours as I was a new employee. As I walked through the entrance you could hear the loud clatters of metal and the constant banging of wood. The smell was foul and you could see a stream outside. I was taught the different machines and how to use them, the owner of the factory was Mr Oakmore, he was fairly large with a long black beard. He told me that I was going to work on the third floor in section 7; I was going to be cleaning the thread and wool that go underneath the spinning jenny where it isn’t used. He also told me that I had to get here by 5 o’clock exact otherwise there will be consequences and finish at 5’oclock in the evening. We also get an hour and a half lunch; Mr Oakmore said that they give the workers only the best meat and food that the cooks can make. It took me only a few seconds to get from one place to another under the machine. My father worked on the ninth floor working as a cloth maker, he would sow the thread into a cloth and then die it in different colours. I earn about 3 shillings a year whereas my father earns 12 shillings a month.…

    Pioneer Diaries

    The Oregon Trail was much more than a pathway to the state of Oregon; it was the only practical corridor to the entire western United States. The places we now know as Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada, Idaho and Utah would probably not be a part of the United States today were it not for the Oregon Trail. That's because the Trail was the only feasible way for settlers to get across the mountains.…

    Doctrine of Hope

    Doctrine of Hope

    “My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus blood and righteousness.” The Doctrine of Christian Hope is the belief of God will protect and provide for those that accept His gift of His Son, Jesus Christ. While most people understand hope as wishful thinking, as in "I hope something will happen." This is not what the Bible means by hope. The biblical definition of hope is "confident expectation." Hope is a firm assurance regarding things that are unclear and unknown (Romans 8:24-25; Hebrews 11:1, 7). Hope is a fundamental component of the life of the righteous (Proverbs 23:18). Without hope, life loses its meaning (Lamentations 3:18; Job 7:6) and in death there is no hope (Isaiah 38:18; Job 17:15). The righteous who trust or put their hope in God will be helped (Psalm 28:7), and they will not be confounded, put to shame, or disappointed (Isaiah 49:23). The righteous, who have this trustful hope in God, have a general confidence in God 's protection and help (Jeremiah 29:11) and are free from fear and anxiety (Psalm 46:2-3).…
