One day a 13 year old girl named Abigail was working as always trying to sell roses that she had picked and took out the thorns bare handed. She had a very good day so far she sold 20 flowers to a girl her age for $10.00. Then the girl gave her a $0.50 tip for not begging on the street for people to just hand them money. The $10.50 would buy her 2 dinners a breakfast and some cheap gloves. After everyone was gone she went over to the dollar store and bought some new gloves, and she jumped for joy when she put them, she decided to get a head started and pick a bunch of roses and plucked the thorns out that night instead of tomorrow.
After she got all the thorns out she placed them in water and ate her dinner of sour milk and 2 slices of bread. Then she went to bed she slept and dreamed of money and roses. When she awoke a little table was standing next to her and it had oatmeal, a gallon of fresh milk, eggs, toast, and new clothes. Abigail pinched herself; it hurt so she wasn’t dreaming. Abigail jumped up and ate like there was no tomorrow. When she finished she put on her clothes and counted an extra $5.00 in her money.
Abigail grabbed her basket and skipped out to the train station. The conductor wasn’t there yet; when he got there he bought 2 flowers and people with early morning meetings bought a few flowers too.

In the high criminal neighborhood where the other Wes lived, people who live there need a positive role model or a mentor to lead them to a better future. Usually the older family members are the person they can look up to. The other Wes’s mother was not there when the other Wes felt perplexed about his future and needed her to support and give him advises. Even though the other Wes’s mother moved around and tried to keep the other Wes from bad influences in the neighborhood, still, the other Wes dropped out of school and ended up in the prison. While the author Wes went to the private school every day with his friend Justin; the other Wes tried to skip school with his friend Woody. Moore says, “Wes had no intention of going to school. He was supposed to meet Woody later – they were going to skip school with some friends, stay at Wes’s house, and have a cookout” (59). This example shows that at the time the other Wes was not interested in school. Because Mary was busy at work, trying to support her son’s education, she had no time and energy to look after the other Wes. For this reason, she did not know how the other Wes was doing at school and had no idea that he was escaping school. She missed the opportunities to intervene in her son’s life and put him on the right track. Moreover, when the author was in the military school, the other Wes was dealing drugs to people in the streets and was already the father of a child. The incident that made the other Wes drop out of school was when he had a conflict with a guy. The other Wes was dating with the girl without knowing that she had a boyfriend. One night, her boyfriend found out her relationship with the other Wes and had a fight with him. During the fight, the other Wes chased the guy and shot him. The guy was injured and the other Wes was arrested
In particular, of these men, Thomas Jefferson especially is exposed, and his relationship with Adams is explored, as it is a crucial fluctuating one. Though born opposites, they forge a relationship as diplomats, and as close friends, only after meeting and working together, however. In a letter to James Madison, before Jefferson first went to France to work with Adams, he likens him to a poisonous weed. After becoming great friends in Paris, however he writes back to Madison, “He is so amiable that I pronounce you will love him if ever you become acquainted with him”. Later on though, as the advent of political parties comes into being, and during the intense struggle for the presidency of the election of 1800, the two become archrivals. Incredibly, after this, they become close friends once again, and amazingly die on the same day.
One day I was walking through the meadow, feeling very sad and lonely. I wanted a friend to spend time with. My mother sent me out to play, but I couldn't find anyone to play with. I looked everywhere until I came to a house made out of straw. I knocked on the straw door, and a little pig answered and told me to go away! I thought that was very rude of him. I told the little pig that I wanted to come inside and play. The little pig said, "Not by the hairs of my chinny chin chin!" I was so sad. Just as I was about to walk away my dumb allergies started acting up. I sneezed so hard that I blew the house down. The little pig ran away and I ran after him, trying to tell him I was sorry.
...llowed for a new life lesson. It is obvious that the teachings Abigail instilled in her children were great because her son followed in his father’s footsteps and because a political leader and second President of the United States. Her daughter married a man that both she and John approved of and they made a good life for themselves.
Abigail Adams has been historically remembered for being the wife of the second president of the United States, John Adams, and the mother of the sixth, John Quincy Adams. A close historical examination of her life, however, reveals that she is someone who deserves to be understood on her own terms. As the title of Charles Akers’ biography of Abigail Adams puts it, she was truly a revolutionary American woman who espoused the republican ideology of virtue for self-government. Akers describes her as having “the widest range of experience” (Akers 1) out of all the American women of her time, as seen in the over two thousand letters written by her, mostly to her husband who was often on the road. Abigail
Married at the age of 22, Abigail and her new husband, John Adams, settled on a farm in Braintree, Massachusetts. John Adams was a recent graduate from Harvard and was eager to start his career in law. Despite the differences in their formal education, their marriage was a partnership of equal minds. With his growing interest in politics, he became a Massachusetts delegate to the Continental Congress in 1774; this governing body of the colonies met regularly in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. With her husband’s new political responsibilities, Abigail was frequently alone on the farm to raise and educate their five children in addition to the management of all the business affairs on the farm.
Catherine is a mother in the 1850’s living on the border of Kansas as a free-stater. Everyday she devotes her time to making sure the house is ship-shape. She works on sewing clothes for her fast growing children, and then spends hours making food so she can keep her family’s bellies full and their faces smiling. Today as she finished her long list of daily chores and began to make dinner, she remembered that her husband said he will be coming home a little late. So she decided to sit down with her three rambunctious, hungry children (all under the age of ten) and eat without him. Just as she got the children to settle down and started to say the blessing on the food-Bam! Bam! Bam! What happened? Without hesitation she grabbed

To further complicate matters, John decides not to reveal to the court that Abigail has admitted to him in private that they were just sporting in the woods. Abigail spreads additional accusations and false rumors about her neighbors. These accusations have no basis in truth and their only purpose is for Abigail’s own benefit. Furthermore, Abigail is jealous of John’s wife, Elizabeth, and she schemes to get rid of her in order to take her place. Abigail’s plot is to accuse Elizabeth of witchcraft.
Between the years of 1776 and 1876, a key change came about in America over the women. Before these dates, women were not considered to be very important to the community. The only major role they played was raising children and bringing food to the table. Since the years of the Revolution and the Constitutional Convention, however, the nation nearly doubled its geographic boundaries and its population. When the Market Revolution hit America, many people felt isolated and cut off from traditional sources of comfort and community.
First and foremost, some basic knowledge on the early years and the foundation of Adam’s life are imperative to the understanding of Abigail Adams and how she grew into becoming the women she did.

She worked alongside her Mother, Dad and brothers, Troy and Dane, in the neatly tended and carefully guarded rows of the family garden. She hummed the lilting notes of an Ave Maria aria or the harmony line to My Wild Irish Rose, which she somehow heard in her head when her father's rich baritone caressed the melody and her mothers fingers danced on the piano keys. She hoped the vegetables they were tending could be sold to earn a little extra for the next month of piano lessons. Despite the never-ending presence of the depression throughout the thirties, she was never hungry or cold.
The same day, she had a meeting with the lawyer who was handling the money. Paul's mother demanded the full sum. She received the money and spent it all. The author informs the reader, "There were certain new furnishings, and Paul had a tutor... There were flowers in the winter, and a blossoming of the luxury that Paul's mother had been used to." (p. 169) The money ran out and the voices in the house screamed, "Oh-h-h, there must be more money.
