Myles Laveau sat across the room, his dinner companion’s back was toward the room and to me- I was seething with a need to view her face. Why was I feeling this way, he was not mine… I had no right to be angry. I had Louis to my left and Boudreaux to my right, but wanted what was out of reach- at least for the moment. I knew I could have him again; Myles Laveau affected me the same way the flame-haired woman had, but unlike her, he made himself available.

Today I will touch on labor history and the different events that occurred. I will tell how hard it was back then when it came to jobs and wages. I will speak on different events and give you different views on them. The way it was back then is not how it was now, so you will get to see the changes back then. I will also be mentioning different events like the railroad strike, the homestead strike and others to make my essay valid.

We decided it wasn't worth the risk and waited in line. When it was our turn we gave them $1 and started moving across. The river was only about 200 yards across. When we got across we looked back and saw that some people tried crossing without using the fairy. They were stuck. While we waited for the rest of our train we watched them trying to get unstuck.

She moves slowly taking her first few steps, and approaches the handsome young man in front of her. Their eyes connect with one another, and the connection is not to be broken despite every distraction surrounding the two. They are both remembering their younger days. The days of a boy meeting a girl. The days of holding hands as they ran up and down these grounds just for play. The days of so much laughter, games, and unconditional affection.

The hand described the thoughts of a newly wedded young woman’s thoughts as she lay down next to her husband that she barely knew. At first, she was pleased
