Ann Marie Low’s diary opens in 1927 when she is a teenager living with her family on a stock farm in southeastern North Dakota. Low’s diary tells the story of her family's struggle to maintain a way of life, keeping their farm, and educate their children.

Low’s faces economic hardship, unfortunate family circumstances, and the restrictions that society had placed on women. Low's diary is about life in during the Dust Bowl, and Great Depression.

The lighthouse appears deserted. The men discuss rowing toward land swimming through the surf once the boat finally capsizes in the rougher water that is closer to shore. The crew knows that, over time, they will grow weaker and things will get worse, not better. They exchange with each other “addresses and admonitions”, in case all of them do not live through this whole ordeal
When we had landed at that island which I have a few seconds ago said was called Juana, I continued along its coast towards the west for some separation; I discovered it so expansive and without discernible end, that I trusted it to be not an island, but rather the mainland nation of Cathay; seeing, in any case, no towns or urban areas arranged on the ocean coast, however just a few towns and inconsiderate ranches, with whose tenants I was not able chat, in light of the fact that when they saw us they took off. I continued more distant, believing that I would find some city or vast homes. Finally, seeing that we
Two Diaries, Donald Vining’s A Gay Diary Vol. Two and Martin Duberman’s Gay in the Fifties look into the everyday life of gay males in the post-World War II Era. While World War II increased freedom for men to sexually explore within the male community, post-World War II extended the freedom of exploration but also created a subsequent backlash against homosexual practices. Vining and Duberman’s diaries document an extension of gay freedoms in the post-World War II period. Although Vining and Duberman give contrasting accounts of their lives as gay males in the postwar period, common themes could be drawn in the form of friendships, sexual activity, relationships, and backlash by heteronormative society.
In our poem “Dear America, the Land of the Free” and other writings and speeches, rhetoric helps to powerfully convey a message to an audience. The more powerful the argument is, the more likely the audience is to spread the message to others and attempt to make changes in support of the message. The most effective literature and speeches are strewn with various rhetorical devices, as these devices cause the message to become clearer and more powerful. We see authors using rhetorical techniques to convey a message in each text we discussed in class. For example, “The Declaration of Independence” uses logos and parallelism to convince the King of Great Britain and the American people of the King’s wrongdoings and the necessity of American independence. The author, Thomas Jefferson
Throughout the time in class, we have discussed a variety of different topics relating to the culture of American politics. While Susan Jacoby, through her book The Age of American Unreason, highlights quite a few important ideas about the lack of intellectual thought in American politics, due to the time lapse between the publication of the book and our class, some ideas are not as thoroughly explained as they relate to the current American political atmosphere. Two presidential terms have passed since the release of the book leading to a distinct break from the current political climate. While the fundamental reasoning that Jacoby presents is accurate, the rise of polarization between liberalism and conservativism have created a culture that prompts anti-intellectual thought even more so than eight years ago when Jacoby first wrote The Age of American Unreason.
Relief. I found George and the others that were with us on the Dartmouth and looked for the tea. We found the room with the tea. It was dark so I went and found a torch. I came back with a torch and we started dumping the tea, we heard commotion from the other boats so we knew that the tea was being dumped. Overall we dumped 342 chests of tea overboard. I got back with Mary waiting at the dock. She cried tears of joy when she saw us get off then her expression changed. I went into an alley, washed my face, and went up to Mary and a huge smile emerged on her

Lord Pearson, As a gentry of England, you bear a unique responsibility.
