    “William Penn Adair Rogers did nothing a man is normally famous for, he wasn’t soldier, statesman, or a industrialist, a scientist, athlete, or even a famous bandit. He invented nothing, founded no city, and explored no new lands. So, why is he an American folk hero? Maybe the answer is plain and simple, as plain and simple the man he was” (Story). While Will Rogers was the youngest of eight children, he was born in 1879 in Oologah, Oklahoma (Keating 2). However, Oklahoma wasn’t a state yet, so it was still Indian territory.

I remember he looked ridiculous in that outlandish sweater which had a big bunny rabbit with a silly grin on it. What a peculiar thing for a grown-up high school student to wear! “You like it? My grandma knit this for me.” A husky voice obviously from the owner of the sweater broke in and made me realize that I had been staring unconsciously at the rabbit for quite some time. Looking up, embarrassed, I saw a tall, bronzed and muscled boy in front of me. He had regular features – a large, square forehead dotted with several zits, an impressive nose, big and sharp, which somehow reminded me of the French actor Gérard Depardieu, and a…
