Write a journal entry as if you are a cowboy taking cattle to market. Include why you do this, what kinds of challenges you face
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

I am so upset at myself. I don’t know where my head was. Finally, here I was, with $80 to my name (which is meager compensation for a two-month cattle drive), and then I lose it all gambling. Just one night, and now I am bankrupt all over again. Yesterday was my 22nd birthday, as well as my payday, so I allowed myself a little gambling in Abilene, Kansas, a cow town. But I got so caught up in the action that I couldn’t stop, and pretty soon, I was broke.

I had been hoping to save enough money to start my own business, Bronco Jones and Company, but I suppose that will just have to wait for the next cattle drive. Hopefully, by then I will have better sense.

But enough talk about that. I shall write about the cattle drive, in case I ever look back in this journal 20 years from now and wonder what it was like. Cowhands have very tough jobs, not to mention boring at times. I am a swing rider, and I help keep the cattle from straying. There are several other cowhands and, of course, a point rider and a cook. Lucky for us, we now have a talented cook who can turn anything into a delicious meal. We've had much worse cooks in the past.

One little piece of excitement that sticks out in my mind is the day a single gunshot started a cattle stampede. I didn’t even have time to wonder where it came from, for in a split second, the longhorns had already taken off at an alarming run. It was all chaos for some time. Finally we managed to slow down the stampeding herd by turning them in a wide circle. That memory shall certainly amuse me for some years to come, and I do need some fun, for tomorrow I am returning to Texas for yet another cattle drive. I hope it's my last.

hope this helps

1. Why was prohibition called the failed experiment?
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

Prohibition was called the failed experiment because many people consumed alcohol illegally and so a change wasn't seen in alcohol consumption. Alcohol was in such high demand that it was better for the economy if prohibition ended.

What are your thoughts on the death penalty
lesya [120]

Answer:

If someone does something horrible or despicable enough to deserve it, for example distributing or making child p***, murder, r***, etc... They should very much be served the death penalty. Especially since prisons are becoming overcrowded because there are too many people. It shouldnt've been abolished in the first place.
