The Dust Bowl was a severe dust storm that ravaged the Southern Plains in the 1930s, causing many residents of this region to lose their
livelihoods and homes, and ultimately migrate to California. Even though the Dust Bowl survivors fled their homes out of desperation in
search of a new place to live, many Californians did not want the survivors immigrating to their state. Some of the Californians believed
they were intruders, competing for land and jobs. Write an essay that argues your viewpoint on this topic. Were the survivors of the Dust
Bowl intruders or refugees? Support your claim with reasons and evidence.

1. find at least 9 adjectives from this opening passage used to describe the setting of the story- "to build a fire" setting: day had broken cold and gray, exceedingly cold and gray, when the man turned aside from the main yukon trail and climbed the high earth-bank, where a dim and little-travelled trail led eastward through the fat spruce timberland. it was a steep bank, and he paused for breath at the top, excusing the act to himself by looking at his watch. it was nine o'clock. there was no sun nor hint of sun, through there was not a cloud in the sky. it was a clear day, and yet there seemed an intangible pall over the face of things, subtle gloom that made the day dark, and that was due to the absence of sun. this fact did not worry the man. he was used to the lack of sun. it had been days since he had seen the sun, and he knew that a few more days must pass before that cheerful orb, due south, would just peep above the sky-line and dip immediately from view.
