Also, I love how this organization educates the youth by providing several opportunities to learn about our environment at the livestock show. Seeing the youth benefit from this organization makes all of the work worth it.

Questions from 6th grade students: 1. How did the soldiers and George Washington survive the winter? The Encampment at Valley Forge was a rural area that had open fields and woods.

A blues poem such as this is usually connected to themes of struggle and loneliness, which can be related to the word “weary” in the title.

Got the weary blues And can’t be satisfied” (25-28) are all great examples of repetitive lines being used in this poem in order to to emphasize a relaxed, yet depressing mood.

This paper analyzes the song “Coat of Many Colors” written by and sung by Dolly Parton. Born on January 19, 1946 the fourth child of 12 to a farmer and a stay at home mother. Given this time period and her father’s profession, her family grew up “dirt poor” (Zahn, ?) on a farm and experienced the struggles faced by countless others during this era. Motivated by an experience in her youth, she wrote a song about when her mother stitched together a coat for her to wear from pieces of rags they had been given and the other kids laughing at her.

Visenya’s family migrated from Northern Ireland to Maycomb, her public appearance seem to be unusual for the Maycomb society, she has purple eyes and a white silver hair. However, Visenya’s second day was better than the first, she was walking with her mother on the streets, and as we know that Jim and Scout Finch were playing their games on the backyard of their house, they saw Visenya walking with her mother.

Every day I try to make myself disposable to others in that same way, rather its taking time out to go to the park with my daughter or reading her a story before she goes to bed.
