It’s conventional wisdom that Americans In 1908 believe that we were stewards of the land God gave us. As Theodore Roosevelt said in his address to the governors in 1908 said: “we must handle the water, the wood, the grasses, so that we will hand them on to our children’s and our children’s children in better and not worse shape than we got them”. Americans have believe
that we should pass our possessions to the generations after us in better shape to keep forming a better world in the future. This quotes first and then explains, which is typical fashion for the Regents Exams of high school. NOW we are going to be introducing our quotes and prefacing them, so try to put the LAST sentence before the quote! or simply prepare us for what is coming...

Americans in 1908 believed that a woman's place was in the home. In his book, Jim Rasenberger explains this: "A woman's first obligation in this view was to get married and bear children" (Chp. Ssix pg 120).Punctuation goes inside the quotation EXCEPT when using a citation we SEE.

Conventional wisdom has it that women in 1908 got married and had children instead of focusing on a degree and making a career for  of themselves.

It was often said, "Do not shoot til you see the whites of their eyes" because to get a good shot at your enemy you needed to be close enough for an accurate hit. Also, you want to know who you are shooting at, because the front line may be retreating!

You would think that it was common sense that a man couldn't fly, but the uncommon Wright brothers flew.

Americans in 1908 believed that baseball was the best sport and every American should be able to watch the World Series, even if it meant climbing a pole.

Americans in 1908 believed that  the North Pole was a place forbidden and dangerous.

My whole life I have heard it said that baseball is the national pastime, and in 1908 it was.

It was often said man was not meant to fly or God would have given him wings, but Wilbur and Orville Wright were changing that notion in 1908.

-Americans in 1908 had always believed that the nation of people located their futures by looking downward (pg.115). This is not ok, since the words are copied exactly from the text and not put in quotation marks, I think. I need the text in hand to know for certain.

-Conventional wisdom has it that   the earth is the greatest sense of hope (pg. 115). Ditto Additionally, when we discuss conventional wisdom or common sense, there are common every day known truths, at least for a specific culture or society. WE all know that you shouldn't text and drive or drink and drive. These are not common sense in 1908 since cars were just invented and nobody drove commonly. It was probably conventional wisdom that the best cure for a hangover was a redeye, but this is not in the text. A redeye is a shot of tomato juice in a glass of beer, or a "nip of the dog that bit ya."

-Common sense seemed to dictate that it was known to wear white shirts with starched collars and ties (pg. 122).

-The standard way of thinking about the development of the aircraft had it that... (pg. 123).

This particular section, we all agreed, that it read as a chain of events. There was little to none visual imagery that really made it seem staccato. Additionally, there were no transitions, when Rasenberger wanted to switch ideas, he would simply start a new section. This did not necessarily compromise our understanding but it was more of a chore to read.

The literature read as a chain of events. The author uses specific dates as introductions to create transition. The author would also mention the morning or evening to continue the story

It appeared to read like both a chain of events as well as a story, depending on which part of the text is being looked at. During the trial it read as a chain of events, where it read like a story talking about the race across the world.

"Trickier than painting Evelyn as an innocent maiden was portraying Harry, a spoiled alcoholic who liked to flog women, as a chivalric hero. Whatever its flaws, though, Delma's dementia Americana argument had nearly prevailed in the first trial of Harry Thaw. The jury hung, Thaw did not" (50).
It was hard enough to make Evelyn look like an innocent girl who was taken advantage of, but it was even more difficult to depict Harry as a hero for killing Mr. White. Despite how crazy Delma's approach was with his idea of this apparent "sickness" called dementia Americana, it almost worked but ended with a hung jury, letting Harry dodge the death penalty.

1. How does Rasenberger shift from one newsworthy event to the next? Think TRANSITIONS. Include one quote from the text, correctly cited in-text.
