At the time, farmers had given little thought to crop rotation or other methods to preserve fertile topsoil. Overcultivation had also contributed to the upcoming problem. Once the rain stopped, the exposed, poor-quality soil eventually dried out. Due to years of droughts and poor soil-conservation practices, loose sediment are easily picked up from barren dry soil. Topsoil were blown off fields and carried in storm clouds for hundreds of miles.
Devil Horse Cherokee frisked impatiently as I finished adjusting the saddle and moved to put on her bridle. Her fuzzy winter coat was finally shedding to reveal the sleek white fur of a thoroughbred mare in her prime. If anyone had doubted Cherokee’s purebred lineage, her attitude would’ve soon proved them wrong. She had all the fiery passion for racing that I could imagine that famous race horse Seabiscuit did. When Cherokee got it in her mind that she wanted to run, it took all the meager horsemanship skills I possessed to keep her in check.
She did anything that didn’t involve social interactmeant. She didn’t like to be alone. Her favorite part of the day was to check the mail. The young girl got up once the rain stopped and slugged her way out of her room and went to the front porch to experience the only breath of cool air she would be getting the entire day. While walking over to the mailbox she began to painfully think of her past times at home.
They spent days and days walking in the hot sun without any water. Patty’s doll was the comfort to Patty, the party faced harsh winters.

The reader’s first impression of Curley's wife. The reader's first of the terrible temptress is that Curley’s Wife is a beautiful woman who constantly shows off her beauty to the men on the ranch.

(Her mom was an artist). Her mom said the house meant a lot to her and she would always put a sign on the bottom of all the pictures of the house. It was a red shoe. They went to investigate the house. Once they reached the steps they heard a swift movement and started to walk slowly to the house, and pulled Skilar back to the car.
Kristina yelled.It was the weather radio with an important message. "Overcast skies roll over Morton Grove, bringing rain and dense fog, be advised that no fun should be had at all today. High of 56" "WOO HOO I'M GOING HOME" Jon said with his foot out the door. "Wait, whats that bright light?" Andy asked.
In the bathroom she tore off her soiled clothes and flung them into the corner. And then she scrubbed herself with a little block of pumice, legs and thighs, loins and chest and arms” (Steinbeck, 1938, para 90). She then dressed in her best clothes. “She put on her newest underclothing and her nicest stockings and the dress which was the symbol of her prettiness. She worked carefully on her hair, pencilled her eyebrows and rouged her lips” (Steinbeck, 1938, para 95).
She came back and sat at the table again, and said “I need the glue, I need the glue”. She then stood up and grabbed the glue. She finished gluing the ribbon on and told Ms. Lindsey “I did it”. Ms. Lindsey said it was beautiful. She then stated “I want to show Ms. Michelle.
The evergreens had suffered much needle loss and this caused a thick carpet of dry needles on the dense forest floor. The Peshtigo Company had a single, horse drawn steam pumper for fighting fires in the sawmill, but there was virtually no other technology available for fighting structure fires, much less a forest fire of such great magnitude. The people were essentially trapped in the town, surrounded by wooden buildings and sidewalks, sawdust-strewn streets and a burning forest. The fire continued to burn until it reached the waters of Green Bay, the storm winds died down, and the rain came. The fire was so intense it jumped several miles over the waters of Green Bay and burned parts of the Door Peninsula, as well as jumping the Peshtigo River itself to burn on both sides of the inlet town.
