Time to get it together!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am getting excited about putting this ethnology paper together. I don't know how much I will end up with, but I hope to keep it interesting to all who have to read this fifteen-plus page paper. There are so many things I have found that I would like to share with everyone! Last week I was shown a collection of antique auto license plates dating back to 1911!!! This week I was shown a collection of beer cans that I have never heard of and a couple were made even before I was born! That's less than 1/2 of a hundred years ago! Or whatever. I guess you wonder why I would even consider putting something like these two artifacts in with my paper on the farm, but these farmers have always had cars and/or trucks to drive and they do love their beer and have for quite some time, it seems. Yesterday a hog died on the farm, but Vic wouldn't let me see that. I guess he thought I'd run away screaming, but I told him that I HAVE ALREADY BEEN in the nursing field and I have seen some things that could probably make him pass out! I didn't see the hog, though. Why would I want to write about a dead hog anyway? So I am interviewing, researching, writing, and editing my paper. Wish I could just concentrate on this and not have to do algebra!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think it is really great that you are finding out things about the family and workers of the farm. While the license plates and beer cans may seem trivial and off-subject, I am sure that they will help to bring a more "real" picture of who these people are.
ReplyDeleteWhat was the reaction on the farm to the hog dying? If I had a farm and an animal died unexpectedly, I know that I would be devastated.
I am sure that your paper will come together soon enough. I know that algebra has a tendency to drag on people.
