I was reading a book for my Intro Literature Studies that is called O Pioneers wrote by Willa Cather. This book talks mostly about a young woman name Alexandra Bergson who grew up on a farm in which she made it her home. Now when I was reading this book I noticed there was this spark of my topic and I was glad because not only I feel related to the story but it also makes me feel home since my parents had a farm too. In chapter two it explains how John Bergeson who was Alexandra’s father was telling her to keep the land and to cultivate it. Now I was reluctant to even this book associated with my topic because I did not see the connection until I finish reading chapter three which explained how years later the land was prosperous in which she became a very wealthy person. the author describes in depth more how she was working hard and trust her instinct in making the good decision about the farm. Back in the day, things were much simpler and easy because things were not expensive back then and it was very helpful for farmers who have their own land to eat and to not worry about food. Didn’t people pay farmers and workers to have their land cultivate I ask? In the book, it did not say anything about Alexandra paying tenant farmers with money to work on her farm. i would assume that she paid them with food or gave them some shelter and this when i realize that i made a connection about my topic. And it also provides a perfect example for my topic. I always curious what the past was like especially living in a farm wit animals, great landscape with green grass, and the wind that the blew on my face. All of that tell me that pollution was reduced, machines were not made, technology was barely popular back then which means as time prolonged money affected the rising of pollution with those big expensive machines technology destroyed mother nature to the core. without money. A government without a money system can survive because we have great knowledge to build space shuttle in to space i am sure we can find a way to eliminate this system that making almost everyone in this planet with great debts.
