Klondike Gold Rush And A Woman Who Went To Alaska

Louis L’Amour, in “Trap of Gold”, uses John Wetherton, and the Mountain to develop the theme, “Don't get to greedy because it can all disappear in a blink of an eye”. This story is about a man named John Wetherton who hikes up into the mountains in search of gold, but when he does this he is risking his life by almost getting killed by the mountain.

The Klondike Gold Rush had begun on August 16, 1869, when Yukon area Indians had found gold in Rabbit Creek, near a town named Dawson in Canada. Word of the discovery of gold in the Klondike hadn’t reached other regions in the world till July 17, 1897, when gold-rushers finally set off to go to the vast Yukon territory. According to estimation, there was around 100,000 gold-seekers who decided to test their luck on acquiring some of the valuable gold, which had been literally coming in by the tons! In the end, only 30,000 gold-seekers had successfully reached the Yukon territory. Unfortunately, many of these gold-seekers whom tried to reach the Yukon territory had faced many complications, which

• What are the ways in which each major character experiences conflict (either with self, with other characters, or with the social and/or physical environment)?

In the text, “Klondike Gold Rush” and “A Woman Who Went To Alaska”, both share many different things. In this case their point a view was different. That is what I will be discussing today!

The changes of each person's point of view shape the reader's understanding of the miners lives by giving different experiences and perspectives on how the gold rush played out. “The Klondike Gold Rush,” A Woman Who Went to Alaska, and “City of Gold,” are the three different perspectives that were given within the gold rush period.

There are many states in North America. Formally known as the United States of America. From New York to California, you could find millions of different types of people, and cultures from around the world. But how about a state that is so isolated from them all, that many people forget it was even added as the 49th state to the country? The lone state of Alaska is to the north west of the major states and if laid on top of the other states, would cover about two-thirds of the land. And for a state that is so large, it is surely simply thought of as the coldest state. Alaska is much more then that, and has a lot of history behind just a land of snow and mountains.

Many people risked their lives in order to seek riches and gold, only to find challenges along the way.

Contextual information about the Klondike gold rush helps readers understand Jack London’s story and his purpose in the excerpt from “To Build a Fire”,by setting a good background for the reader to place the character and his story in. Without the contextual information provided, the story would seem rather disconnected and empty. It would not make sense. For instance, if the author had not provided information about the temperature, why the protagonist needed to start a fire, or why he was running around, it would make the story quite confusing. However when detailed information about just how the frigid temperatures affected the protagonist and his surroundings, the plot of the story become much clearer.

• What is the setting (time and place)? How does it factor into the interactions of the characters?

People that were inclined to look for gold were forced to make beds in the numbing cold of the snow, which made for unfortunate living conditions. The food had to be carefully looked after so that it was not eaten by animals, and when it turned dark it was mandatory to tie their food up in trees. Forgetfulness would not be tolerated when it came to looking after your food because if you forgot to tie it up, even once, you would face starvation or have to turn back and abandon your aspiration to locate gold. The journey felt like an extensively long time, and they had to make camp often because of the heavy luggage that was impossible to bear for excessive periods of time. These situations were bound to turn anybody weary and, from an outsider’s perspective, even be enough for a person to desert your ambition of finding riches completely, but people in the past managed to endure these problems, despite them being some of the hardest challenges ever

The newcomers changed by their experience in California with different expectations. First, the gold-seekers only thought about money in their mind. They tried to use different way to gain the profit as fast as they could. Even though the gold-seekers lost their

Letters, journals, and reminiscences written by adventurers during the Gold Rush vividly illustrate the internal struggle which people experienced.

It is hard to find better jobs and that having gold was their only way to have their second chance. But it wasn’t a good luck day for the miners, they all wanted to dig because the gold was free to everyone and that no one could stop someone taking most of the gold. It felt like it was spiking up the rich type and that it was taking and finding a way to get the rich. The more people discovered about the gold the more people wanted to get the gold. So everybody including immigrants would come to California have made the population by 80,000 people. At first we could pick up gold but later we would have to use pans to get the gold out of the ground. It felt like the people after the gold had forgotten what was important to them and they were all filled with greed to fulfil what they want to be rich. As if the people had forgotten on what was the best thing for them was the gold and power to have a bigger or better business to them and get even more rich and that it could lead them down to a path of power and greed that they can forget all of the compassion and kindness that they had and that they lose what that person was. As someone can see that it did help California become a state in the U.S. But California didn’t become an actual state until the time of 1850. But when the gold was there it doesn’t mean that there was a lot of it there is
