Farmhouse Analysis

Jane Smiley’s ‘A Thousand Acres’ is a modern day representation of Shakespeare’s King Lear. The text tales a tragic story of a family of a troubling past, willingly watching each others lives decay as the tragedy unfolds. In spite of it’s similarities to ‘King Lear’, this work of literature is a work of its own. The text constructs a clear distinction of American rural Space, this is through foreground economic and social issues raised throughout the text of the perception that is driven by ones understanding of self and the world they live in.

The House That Scratches the Surface With only five percent of the world population, the United States manages to hold twenty-five percent of the world’s prisoners, with a majority being incarcerated for drug crimes, with a disproportionate majority of those individuals being African-American. Eugene Jarecki’s 2012 documentary, The House I Live In, attempts to analyze and explain the far reaching causes and consequences of American drug policy on communities, individuals, and the country. This is done through multiple personal stories and the intertwining history and policy that have shaped their lives. The House I Live In is squarely directed at those who are in acceptance of the status quo regarding drug laws and offenders in this country.

The poem hints that a woman lived with the man in the old farmhouse and that she appeared to be a homemaker. Kooser makes this known when the speaker mentions “the bedroom wall papered with lilacs and the kitchen shelves covered with oilcloth” (10-11). The food choices that the woman had available to feed the family really makes the reader think about the poverty that they may have lived: “money was scarce say the jars of plum preserves and canned tomatoes sealed in the cellar hole” (13-14). What food they had needed to last, as the man had failed to produce any food for his family in his untended fields.

The barn is also a key setting in the story as truths are exposed and it is also the place of the falling acting of the story. Here is where Crook, an African-American farmer, sleeps. The purpose of the barn, where the animals and pets sleep, eat, and live, being Crook’s room accentuates the racist standard that was accepted in the United States at the time. This racism is made evident to Lennie and initiates the diminishment of the hope for a better life in him that’ll end in the complete demolition of any hope. His hope continues to be destroyed in this barn as this is also the place where Lennie kills Curley’s wife, leading to the need for him and George to run away, and eventually, his death.

The war against drugs in America is not simply a battle to minimize the negative effects of drug dealings and drug abuse in society. The House I Live In, a documentary directed by Eugene Jarecki, explores the war on drugs in America and its effect on American society. The documentary includes first-hand accounts of how drugs have affected America from many different perspectives. These different perspectives include law enforcement agents, judges, prisoners, politicians, and family members.

Jay and his wife have a strong chance of surviving in this industry. They seem to have a strong and lasting relationship with their customers. The competition doesn't seem to be a factor with them. They only obstacle that will cause East Hampshire Homes to falter would be Mr.s Carlos own lack of competence. Refusing to comply with the Federal law can cause the facility money. Mr. Carlos and his wife took all the necessary steps needed before entering this venture. They did the study and since have remained open for fifteen years.

The art connects to The House on Mango Street because it’s a representation of the beatdown street Esperanza and her family has to live on. From the cracks in the road and potholes, it’s obvious that this is a lower class street. It gives off the vibe of alarming or frightening to other people driving through the street because others would think that gangs live in those houses, instead of Esperanza and her nice family. The Cadillac that Louie's cousin had parked along the street revealed the gap between poor and rich that Esperanza doesn’t want. She wants to not be considered ‘lower class’

This simulated barn exhibit is a recreation of the Fossville Barn that was located at a short lived hostelry in Knight's Valley about five miles beyond Calistoga. This was the stopping point for stagecoaches traveling to the Geysers. The exhibit remarkably recreates that site as well as giving a glimpse of rural living. The interior of the exhibit holds a variety of farming tools from that period.

This passage is another one that shows just how devoted Farmer is to his work. When he started feeling sick, he continued on with his daily life until he absolutely had to “surrender himself to his illness”. Farmer didn’t even stop working when he was hospitalized for Hepatitis, he continued leading his organization. Almost nothing can stop Farmer from trying to cure the world. The author did a great job of explaining that throughout the book. In this section of the book, his colleagues and friends had recognized that about him and knew they had to send him on vacation after he was cured. The author including Catherine in this passage was also important because it proves that Farmers vacation was something he really needed and something great

How could we obtain weighted measurements about the foundational and no-foundational materials at the DePauw Farmhouse?

The environment people grow up in can have a huge impact on their identity and who they become. In the novel, The House on Mango Street, the author tells a series of short stories through the eyes of Esperanza Cordero. Esperanza is a young Latina growing up in Chicago, and through her stories shows the reader her environment and how in affects her. Things like gender roles, sexual violence, race, and class end up having a huge influence in shaping one’s identity.

In his poem “Acquainted with the Night,” Robert Frost describes a character who spends his nights wandering the city streets. The reader can infer from both Frost’s tone, and the time of day in which the speaker chooses to walk, that the character is in a world of isolation. This is especially evident in the lines, “When far away an interrupted cry/ Came over houses from another street,/ But not to call me back or say good-by” (Frost 898). From this line, the reader understands that the poem’s speaker feels as if he is completely isolated in the world. In a similar way, E. E. Cummings poem “anyone lived in a pretty how town” expresses the loneliness felt by people of this era. Cummings creative use of pronouns gives the poem a double entendre. The characters, anyone and noone, can represent their literal meanings, or a single man and woman. Therefore, when Cummings writes that “noone loves him more by more,” he could mean that anyone is being loved greatly, or not at all. This loneliness is expressed yet again when Cummings informs the reader, “Women and men (both little and small)/ cared for anyone not at all” (Cummings 922). The works of both Frost and Cummings both portray the hardship that accompanied the feeling of loneliness during the modern
