roughing it questions
Exaggeration number 1 I would not use a long handled shovel to make a target of myself
Exaggeration number 2 he said he would translate the talmut from the original Hebrew for the salary of being a news editor
Exaggeration number 3 he thought of being a best friend to a murderer for the favor of making news
I inwardly resolved that I would starve before I would make a target of myself and shoot rubbish with a long handed shovel
I made up my mind to not shovel ever again
25 dollars a week it looked like bloated luxury a sinful and lavish waste of money
25 dollars a week was a huge amount of money
I had never had occasion to kill anybody nor ever felt the desire to do so but wore the thing in deference to popular sentiment, and in order that I may not, by its absents, be offensively conspicuous and subject to remark.
If I stopped wearing a gun people would talk about me.
I didn’t find any of the sentences confusing
In these lines he uses hyperbole to describe how his father left stocks which were worthless so he made a joke that it wasnt possible to eat the paper.
It is a memoir because he did all the things he said and to make it funny he used exaggerations so it wasn’t boring, but they were not lies.
Book Review for The Good Earth
The book The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck is about a man who lives in China. Marries a slave from the house of Hwang called O-lan. She is a very hard worker even when she just had a baby and that happens a lot. After there was a flood that destroyed all the crops in his town which meant no food for anybody so they had to go to the south on a thing called fire wagon. When they were in the city they begged for money but Wang lung didn’t believe in begging so he pulled people around for money. One day there were people staging A rich man’s house and as they win one room Wang lung went into another room and found a man who gave him money to let him escape. So they went back to his hometown and lived in peace until he found the woman called Lotus and a prostitute house and bought her so now she was a concubine. As Lotus didn’t get taken care of as well as she should’ve been she got fat and unpretty but Wang got to richer and richer until he was able to buy the palace of Hwang. I would not recommend this book because he was really weird, he had 2 wives and one 12 year old concubine when he was 50, not only was he weird, but he started to spend money like it was going out of fashion. I would rate this book a 1/2 star because of the reasons that I stated before.
Backstabbed
They said that they would free us
They said that they would help us
phhh they didn’t help a bit
they just stabbed us in the back
We fell to our knees helplessly
in need of a savior
obviously America was not there
they rained bullets on us
and almost wiped us out
You can see all the wounds
on our backs where
they stabbed us
they took us over and drowned us
Imperialism is completely horrid
it shouldn’t be allowed
look what it’s done
it just brought us down

There is something wrong with him,he has a tail and fangs and he is way taller than any of the people around him. As he walks towards us we prepared to fight.
The Manticore advances on us. Jake lifts his M4A sniper and fires, but the bullet bounces off of his metallic fur coat. I raise my hand and summon a ball of fire, as the lion roars I throw a ball a ball of fire into the lions throat, as the lion choked Eric lifts his drugnov and finished the beast off. Suddenly i saw a dragonalian women run round the corner, she stared at us and then turned around back around from where she had come from.
