Quote:
“As the oldest boy, he was given the toughest job—plowing the fields that had been cleared the year before. Only twelve years old, John had to reach up to grasp the plow’s handles and fight to keep it upright. He needed his brother David’s help to turn the plow at the end of each furrow. Many times, John wanted to quit, but he knew his father would beat him if he did. By the end of each day, he could hardly stay awake during family prayers” (Warrick 26).
Prompt:
Have you ever had to do a difficult job? Did you have to do it alone, or did you have help like John? Describe the job in detail, then explain how you completed it, and what you learned from it. Remember to write at least 100 words.
