Wild Rye Experience

At the age of five, I was very shy and timid, but one way I feel I have overcame this was joining the Cobb Busy Badger 4-H Club. I joined 4-H when I was five years old and have been involved ever since. Through the years of 4-H, I have made life long friends, developed public speaking skills, and most importantly I have been able to give back to the community in many ways. As a member of 4-H, I volunteer at the local food pantry, adopt-a-family during the holidays, rake leaves in the fall, and play BINGO at the local nursing home. The leadership qualities and values I have gained by being in 4-H are something I take great pride in and will use in the future to help reach my goals.

4-H is the biggest educational program for kids in the United States. It is an organization for the for the wholeness of youth. The movement of 4-H beginning started in the United States in a lot of places at the same time. However, A.B. Graham officially created it in January of 1902 in Clark County, Iowa. This was considered the birth of 4-H. In 1902, Graham started clubs similar to ours today. In his clubs, they worked on projects with vegetables, growing corn, flowers, and soil testing. Back then, the clubs used to be separated by boys and girls. The 4-H motto is “To Make the Best Better” and the slogan is “Learn By Doing.” 4-H is a lot of fun and many people do it.

Harry Emerson Fosdick, an American clergyman, once said,“life consists not simply in what heredity and environment do to us but in what we make out of what they do to us,” (Fosdick). The impact heredity has on an individual will shape his or her actions and personality. In East of Eden, the author, John Steinbeck, brilliantly portrays the idea that heredity doesn’t allow a person to choose his or her own path through two families: the Hamiltons and the Trasks. The Hamilton family are gentle, caring, and have altruism from their heads down to their toes. The Hamiltons are headed by Samuel, a gentleman whose amiable personality gives him the respect of anybody who has ever met him; pieces of his personality are

The pigs as we know by now, were the best educated but they gradually demoralise through the novel. ‘All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others’. This quote for me

My most important 4-H accomplishments include joining the Illinois State 4-H Youth Leadership Team (YLT), being chosen to serve on the Illinois Farm Bureau Youth in Education in Agriculture Committee 4-H representative (YEA), and county awards I have earned. Serving on YLT was a goal of mine ever since I went to the Junior Leadership Conference (JLC) my 7th and 8th grade years. On the team I have met some of the best people I now can call friends while representing 4-H across the state and impacting 4-H members too. Being apart of the team I have helped plan and execute two JLCs assisted with SFI-4-H training, worked at the Illinois State Fair, and represented 4-H at the University of Illinois Salute to Ag Day tailgate and football game.

We haven’t always endured the dramatic effect of these ghastly creatures. Around three hundred years ago the Spaniards, during their explorations introduced the hogs to Texas. The hogs were intended for sustenance and lard for the new settlers here in America. During the fight for Texas’s independence the hogs were left unattended and managed to escape their encasements. That being said, the hogs began reproducing at an alarming rate; now the feral hog

Prompt One: Honors Intensive English Midterm Gavin Guerrette “A Visit for Charity” by Eudora Welty follows an obligatory visit that Marian, a campfire girl, pays to two elderly women in an old ladies’ home. Welty utilizes a progressive variation in sentence length ( syntax ) throughout the plot of her short story to develop pacing that contributes most to its explosive climax where short sentences feel like the incessant pounding of a drum during the culmination of a symphony, vibrating your entire body. Syntax is the way in which sentences are structured to control verbal pacing and focus. Eudora Welty begins her piece with long, descriptive sentences such as the following, “ She stopped for a moment beside one of those prickly dark

In a natural rhetorical reversal, Mr Murray opined: "to be sincere, I had been due to the fact that certainly demoting Canadian whisky from having its possess chapter in the Bible The nice of Canadian has been disappointing me for a whilst with too many non- whisky products, like fruit juice or wine, being added to present a softer flavour...Then Crown Royal Northern Harvest pops up out of nowhere and modifications the game..To say it is a masterpiece is barely doing it justice." Made with a greater share of rye than fairly by and large located in mass-market Canadian whisky, Northern Harvest Rye boasts an fine ninety% rye content material fabric and is bottled at a official forty five% ABV.

In the bildungsroman Catcher in the Rye, J.D. Salinger employs the struggle of individuality, inevitable maturation, and the childhood corruption of adulthood to reveal Holden’s alienation from society.

There had been enough time for something to change but almost everything was the exact same. Again Rye found herself travelling on a bus to go search for something, now knowing her brother is in fact dead she wasn 't exactly sure if what she was searching for was real. The only difference was that she now had the weight of two pre-teens. She felt it best for them to be as cautious as she had been while travelling around a decade ago. Each child had their own piece to communicate what their name was without using their words, it’s safer. Sitting on these benches Rye looked at them, the girl was the spitting image of her dead mother long curly dirty blond hair, a button nose, freckles, green eyes, and the perfect height for her age. Her was brother only slightly taller, with a darker skinned tone, and features almost exactly the opposite of his sister. The only feature similar was their hair texture. Rye would never admit this to anyone but there were times like the present that she regrets the events leading up to this very moment. The deja vu of running away except this time with hope.

First, the inability to read or write automatically let the pig take advantage of the other animals. The animals were attempting to learn the alphabet however, most couldn't get passed the first letter. "Muriel, the goat, could read [better than] the dogs. . . Benjamin could read as well as any pig, but never exercised his faculty. . . Mollie refused to learn any bu the six letters [which] spelt her own name. . .None of he other animals [could get] further than A." (Orwell, 28) The few animals that did understand how to read and write was inferior to the pig's level of literacy and/or did not use what they knew to their own

When the pigs gain power they start to organize committees throughout the farm. They also position the animals for labor work and basically act as a congress. This allows them to be passive making others do all of the work. They have a wide variety of knowledge to brainwash the animals into thinking the

I remember joining 4-H at a young age and having the older club leaders to look up to. I enjoyed having the opportunity to have the same impact on the youth in the club. I was able to demonstrate responsibility and organization while improving upon my leadership
