Down Highway 41
by D.U. Derino

A few miles past the sundry store
Down Highway 41,
A tiny little shack stands lonesome in the field.
The structure appears out of place
Like a crop circle in a corn field,
But at sundown its purpose reveals itself.
As night rides in on its chariot
It carries with it people from throughout the county.
Music fills the air.
Sweet blues
And rockabilly.
And the trials of the day melt away
As the people dance and laugh and leave the world behind
In a shack a few miles past the sundry store
Down Highway 41.

I NEED HELP!! 100 points!!
Write a thesis statement in response to the following prompt.

Prompt: Read the letter to the editor "I, Too, Have a Dream." How does the writer use structure and language to persuade her readers and support her feelings about immigration?
Dear Editor,

I have never taken the time to write a letter to the editor, but something happened that lit a fire in me. Last week, as my best friend Areliss and I headed to class, a group of college protesters blocked our path. Their signs read "GO HOME" and "ILLEGALS LEAVE." They shouted, "Send them home!" These protesters couldn't have known what Areliss felt as they shouted and waved pamphlets in our faces like tattered flags. But, I know their words were bullets to Areliss's heart. I wanted to fire back to the protestors: Where are your ancestors from?

Areliss came to the United States illegally, but she didn't do it intentionally. She was a baby. Her parents, seeking a better life, failed to follow the established immigration procedure, and they slipped into our country undetected. Once here, they raised Areliss, who would grow up never knowing any other home but America.

Under DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals), Areliss has been granted the temporary opportunity to remain here while she completes her college education. DACA ensures, at least for a while, that she will not be deported to a country she has never visited in her entire life.

The term "DREAMers" refers to an act that would have protected these immigrant children if they attended college or served in the military. The DREAM Act did not pass, but its name has remained. DACA recipients have a dream: they dream that their lifelong contribution to the United States will one day be recognized, and they will be permitted to stay in the country they have always called home.

Now, DACA is ending. Those who oppose DACA say it encourages illegal activity, weakens our borders, and goes against the Constitution. I understand their concerns. In an era of heightened security, we must do our utmost to keep this great nation safe. That includes establishing a healthy monitoring system for immigration.

But, those who oppose DACA, who wield protest signs and who want to build walls, have never felt the dreaded doom of deportation. They forget that our long and colorful history has been built by many immigrants—including the immigrants who fought for and founded our country. They forget that Lady Liberty stands as a beacon, asking for the tired, the poor, and the huddled masses yearning to breathe free. We have a responsibility to them.

To send DREAMers away is to deny that responsibility. Programs like DACA exist to keep the American dream alive.

Yes, Areliss is a DREAMer. But I, too, have a dream. My dream is that DACA will be reinstated. My dream is that Areliss will be invited to stay in the country she has known as home since she was a baby and live out her dreams in the country she loves.

Sincerely,

Brittany Taylor

1 Mahatma Gandhi said, "The future depends on what you do today." 2 It's never too early for a young person to take steps toward achieving career goals. 3 To go out and finding that first job takes courage. 4 Moreover, it takes alot of commitment and responsibility to keep one. 5 Having a part-time job, highschool students, if they can get one for several reasons, greatly benefit.

6 A part-time job can be especially beneficial if the job is in the student's field of interest or preference. 7 If students are clueless about they're talents or interests, their are ways to find these out. 8 Online career tests match a person's skills and abilities to particular job groups indeed very effectively. 9 For example, some people do not like interacting with the public all day. 10 On the other hand, some people like constant social interaction or work that is very challenging. 11 They might not be happy working alone or doing repetitive work or computer work. 12 Knowing about oneself helps a person choose a job and remain satisfied with the work. 13 Of course, when first starting out, a student may have to settle for any kind of job experience first. 14 A first job is a trial period so very important. 15 If done successfully, it can become a recommendation for a better job.

16 Once a person chooses a career path; then, every job or related work opportunity can lead to future opportunities. 17 Additionally, most career counselors say everyone needs at least a plan A and plan B. 18 Successful people are multitalented and diverse in skills and education. 19 This is important so people can adapt to the constantly changing employment environment. 20 However, even a well written resumé listing twentytwo different jobs in a lifetime will not go over well with a prospective employer. 21 A resumé needs to show a person faithful to one or two jobs or career fields for at least five years or more for that person to be excepted for a senior position. 22 Finding new jobs and to change to several jobs every year will adversely affect a person's credibility even with a very vital college degree listed on that application. 23 Even so, a faithful employee of a company should always be adding new skills, taking courses, and improving oneself. 24 Many jobs are becoming obsolete as technology, laws, and the needs of our culture change.
