Journal Entry #1 It’s February 21st 1916. I can’t believe I had to leave my home to come to the front lines and fight the Germans in Verdun. I guess I had no chance though. It was either come help fight, or just sit at home and wait for the Germans to take over France. No battle has lasted to long so I should be going back to my wife and kids soon anyway.
Unit 3 Project: Defying Mother Nature Pamela Leary Kaplan University CM107-04 Rosa Mae Leary born Rosa Mae Barron came into the world on May 2, 1917. Though she’s ninety-six years old now, she did not get to be ninety-six by chance, believe it has been a long road through her journey of overcoming adversity of the times living in the deep south, and having the courage to be able to endure enough to overcome any hardships, that may have come her way. Rosa Mae was a wife and mother to 16 children, two of which were stillborn. She also has 50 grandchildren, and 27 great-grandchildren. However, her story begins when she can remember at the age of four, picking cotton in the fields of the Delta, known to locals in rural South Mississippi.
January 21, 1933 Dear Journal, I’m Sorry I haven’t written in you for so long, it’s been a busy couple of months. I and my family have been very busy with evangelism. We have already gone to 47 doors, I’ve been counting. Evangelism is not something I like at all. I would much rather go and play with my friends in the ally.
During the second week of my work placement I meet Mr P (I have changed his name for confidential reasons). At first it was hard to commune with me, but using skills I learnt I was able to apply them to the situation. The first interaction I will talk about is on a one to one basis with Mr P, while going on my weekly visit to Mr P home, I mainly tried to communicate with him verbally to get him a little more social with his surroundings, however most the times I tried he didn’t seem to notice or pay much attention to what I was saying. Once I realised that his hearing was the problem I started trying other ways of communication like written and non-verbal, for example, I would use gestures or make my body language clearer to what I was trying to say, he then started to respond a lot more. I also tried my best to eliminate other external barriers like bad lighting as he mainly depended on his sight so I made sure nothing would interrupt that.
War of 1812 Letter University of Phoenix HIS/115 July 25, 2013 David Glauber August 1814 My Dearest Family, It seems as though I will not be coming home as I had written in my other letters. It has been many months since I have returned home and my desire to return home to the farm and all of you. I do not know when I will have another moment to rest, so I thought I would send a letter home before the battle starts up again. We had been informed that the British had taken the American militiamen at the Battle of Bladensburg, Maryland and will be marching to the capital soon, so we were given time to rest and regain our strength. To be honest, I am weary of the fighting and want to return home and forget about the war.
Alex Briggs Ms. Pfieffer Period 7 27/4/10 Dear Lady Macbeth, I wanted to write you a letter to help cheer you up after everything that has happened over the course of the past couple of weeks. I feel like we disconnected after our plot to kill Duncan, so I wanted to try to reassure you that everything is going to be okay, because I know I haven't done that in a long time. I didn't involve you in my other plans to kill Banquo and Macduff's wife and son, because i didn't want the guilt you are already feeling to become worse. Those murders were not something that you needed to be worrying about, because I know you are still pretty shaken up from the murder of Duncan. I hope you understand why these murders were necessary for our overall
Near Chattahoochee Fulton Co. July 15th, 1864 Dear Sister - -----Pickets don't fire at each other now. We go down to the edge of the river on our side and the Yankees come down on their side and talk to each other. The men on picket opposite are from Ohio, and seem very tired of the war. They say that their term of enlistment will be out in three months and most of them say that when it is out they are going home. Gen. Johnson has issued an order that there shall be no more communication between with them, and I think it is well that he has done so because they were getting too intimate.
ARNOLD FREDRICK GRAPE yesterday climbed the water tower once again and this time he has gone to jail. “I promise it won’t happen again, sir,” said Gilbert Grape, the brother of Arnold (Arnie), last week, when Arnie climbed the water tower for the 3rd time that week. “Alright,” replied the police officer, “but if it does happen again, he will go to jail.” Arnie finally reached the top of the tower at 3 o’clock yesterday; he was escorted down by crane and was taken to the station, by police car. We talked to Gilbert yesterday, after the ordeal. “I just got here too late this time.
So later on that day other workers start to come up and tell me things he was going around the plant saying about me so I went back to my supervisor an told him what was being said he then told me “Jason didn’t we just settle this earlier in the day I’m writing you up for insbornation I asked him why he says just because I’m tired of this bull crap” at this time I’ve already been wrote up for missing some time before, which this makes my 3rd write up which means being suspended for Four days without pay I signed my papers and told him I was leaving for the day and I will take this further will see who gets the last laugh.
