The Regeneration of Roaring Camp
	"And so the work of regeneration began is Roaring Camp"(9). The
regeneration referred to takes place in a California mining camp in 1850 after
the birth of Tommy Luck, son of Cherokee Sal, the camp’s prostitute, who
died giving birth. Sometimes one doesn’t realize how much he needs to
change until he gets a subtle push from fate. Just a little addition to the world
can cause a regeneration of a lifetime. Bret Harte demonstrates this idea in
the story "The Luck of Roaring Camp." In this story, Bret Harte shows that
even the roughest men can regenerate into kind, gentle, wholesome people,
with the love of a child.

Many gave the baby a contribution. The sorry state of the
camp and the men under went change immediately after the arrival of the
baby.
	"Almost imperceptibly a change came over the settlement"( 9). The
new baby was given the name Tommy Luck, but was known around the camp
as "The Luck." The men made sure that Luck was scrupulously clean. The
men decided it was time to under go changes themselves. "The reflections of
the latter on the appearance of Roaring Camp tended to produce stricter
habits of personal cleanliness"(9). The men wore clean shirts and moral and
sanitary laws were not neglected. The men of Roaring Camp gave up
shouting and profanity because they did not want to disturb Luck. Some men
even sang the baby lullabies. The birth of the baby definitely changed the
men, and Roaring Camp for the better.
	"It was wonderful how many treasures the woods and hillsides yielded
that "would do for Tommy"(11). The men of Roaring Camp regenerated just
because of the love of a baby. Tommy Luck was known as "The Luck of
Roaring Camp." The men felt that as long as they had Tommy, they had the
luck with them. One should never put all of his trust in luck because sooner
or later his luck is bound to run out. The men put all of their faith into one
little baby. "Such was the golden summer of Roaring Camp. They were

Culture involves the socially mediated human capacity to differentiate, to categorize the world experience according to what is important to pay attention to, and what is not, and to assign meanings to the categories created . How does culture happen? Is it learned, shared, innate, and adaptive? For each or any of these how so? We will address the theme of culture of the Early American West through the writings of Ned Blackhawk’s Violence of the Land and Susan Johnson’s Roaring Camp – while thinking along the lines of: How are the cultures similar? Different? What are the symbolic gestures?

“I am evolving from being an animal, ' Shin said. 'But it is going very, very slowly. Sometime I try to cry and laugh like other people, just to see if it feels like anything. Yet tears don 't come. Laughter doesn 't come.” Tears, laughter, this all comes easy to most of the world, but it is much more complex than that for North Korean escapee, Shin Dong-Hyuk. After living in a prison camp for his entire life, it is no wonder how tears and laughter would be difficult to manage. Both Shin’s past and the environment of places like Camp 14 play a significant role in who he is today. Understanding the struggle to assimilate after escaping hell on earth and how all of these events have affected Shin and his mental health is crucial. To fully

Upon reading the title to the reading “Camping for Their Lives” by Scott Bransford, A lot of images come to mind as they do for many people. Whether it be family outings, military experience or just plain adventure. Scott Bransford takes a good long look at camping in a different way. The author’s topic is about tent cities and their homeless populations. He argues the struggles that they have with little or no help from the government and highlights a location in Central Valley California. The author structures the article well starting off with an example of a married couple that does not have enough money to sign a lease or take out a mortgage. He then goes into the day to day life and difficulties that are accustomed with living as a homeless person. He mentions statistics and the government’s temporary remedies to deal with the homeless population and the complications when imposing restrictions. The author goes into depth about the lack of jobs within the areas but does not go deep into the addictions, the crime networks that operate out of the areas nor the filth associated with enabling these tent cities to pop up.
He hesitates, looks at me, but turns to throw the bucket onto the Ego. His face with an expression only driven by one thing. Hatred.
Growing up, I was always very shy. I even had a teacher once tell me that I was the only one in the class who was allowed to yell. Perhaps the reason that I was so reserved was because I was the only person that I had to think about. Speaking up never seemed very important to me, so why should I? That all changed for me when I began working at a summer camp two years ago. When I first started working at the camp, I was paired with another, more experienced counselor. I wasn't too nervous, after all I only had to follow her lead and let her take the reigns on this first session. Unfortunately for me, she got very sick within the first two hours of the session. The kids had just gotten there, and suddenly there I was, in charge of twenty little
It was summer of 2013 and it was my first time traveling alone. I was going to Champéry, Switzerland. I felt excited because it’s a part of the world which I haven’t visited before. Going to the airport by myself and going through customs was a bit of a hassle, but nothing I can’t handle. When I arrived at Champéry by train, I had to walk to the camp which not that far Just a 10-minute walk. As I walked to there the scenery was breathtaking. It was so green and surrounded with mountains where you can see white peaks because of the snow. You can see the cows wandering around on the hills and hear their jiggling bells.
