Missing English

This week, we did not meet for English because our teacher was on-leave. Everyone in our class was happy because of that. But, her being gone for a week didn't mean we didn't have work to do... so she gave us an assignment. Our assignment was about the story of Pecos Bill, America's greatest cowboy. Having read the story, I came to know that the first cowboy in America (Pecos Bill) lived with coyotes. The things that cowboys usually do originated from him- the using of a lasso to catch animals, the using of spurs for them to wear on their boots, the rounding up of cattle and driving herds to railroad stations where they could be shipped to market, and most of all the singing of cowboy songs.

The story of Pecos Bill actually concentrated on the cause and effect relationship. This kind of relationship shows a logical way of how things are related. Through it, you can learn many interactions that occur between objects. This clearly implies that everything in this world was made because of a reason. If one is missing, a relationship will be unbalanced.
