I admit I am fascinated by the keywords that bring people to my site. The Norwegian in search of a “white house.” The person from Topeka, Kansas who wanted to learn about “monster combines.” “Bitten turnip” has received 52 hits. When a colleague taught two sections of my book at Florida State University, the day before I Skyped the class there was a rash of “My Life as Laura Summary.” Looks like somebody didn’t prepare for class.
The keywords “Laura Ingalls Wilder five paragraph essay” turned up today. I envision a ninth grade class somewhere in Iowa with an instructor that looks like Miss Beadle. They wonder why they have to write this stupid paper about some dead person.
So you, young Googler out there, you need a paper you say? Here you are:
My Paper on Laura Ingalls Wilder
Laura Ingalls Wilder was a very important person. She pioneered with her family across America. She battled grasshoppers and blizzards although there were also good times including a pig’s tail and a whirl of gaiety. In olden times girls had to wear calico even if it was summer. Laura had to eat beans and bread and work all the time. Her sister was blind and sat all the time sewing. Laura Ingalls Wilder was a real American because she was a good student, had a big family, and she had a cool boyfriend.
Laura Ingalls was a good student. She enjoyed reading old people, like Tennyson. Once she had to tell big long story about the beginning of America. Laura Ingalls didn’t make a mistake even when she was about to throw up and her Pa was very proud. Because her sister was blind she had to be a teacher.
Laura Ingalls had all sisters, not even one brother. So they all had to be quiet and sew or their Ma would yell at them. Sometimes Laura got to go out with Pa and make hay or a door but she never got to shoot anything. Carrie was pale and Laura had to beat up anyone who tried to hurt her. The family went through hard times and bad times but they had biscuits.
Laura Ingalls had a cool boyfriend with a weird name who had Morgan horses. The horses were brown with black manes and they were the best horses everywhere. The horses were called Prince and Lady and they ran through the snow with a cutter. They also ran around with a buggy. Skip and Barnum were also horses. Skip was trouble but then he walked and Laura decided to marry her boyfriend.
Laura Ingalls Wilder was okay but needed more action. The prairie was kind of boring and all she ever did was dance around to a fiddle. But she did get Nellie Oleson covered in leeches, which was pretty okay. And the dugout house was cool. So I guess Laura Ingalls was a great American and we should all learn more about here.
