/in /by

Imagine it is 1880. The Civil
War has been over for 15 years. Economic conditions in the town you live in have
deteriorated, and you are struggling to make ends meet. You decide to try your
luck out west, where there is plenty of land and plenty of opportunity. Before
leaving, you must decide what you will do out west—be a miner, a cowboy, or a
farmer. Each presents its own opportunities and difficulties.

Write an essay in which you:

· 
Tell what you
would be—a miner, cowboy, or farmer.

· 
Describe the
opportunities you would have.

· 
Describe the
difficulties you would face.

· 
Explain why you
chose as you did.
