Kulturraumstudien USA, Homework for November 26th

In anticipation of our next class, please bring in notes concerning the discourse present in the "Becoming a Steelworker Liberated Her" a) from the perspective of a NY Times Journalist and b) from the perspective of Shannon. What I'm looking for here is, for example, the language "becoming a steelworker liberated her" on the part of the journalist (i.e. women's liberation discourse) and the language "God would want you to share" on the behalf of Shannon in employing religious language for discussing resources.

Please also read the following article and decide for yourself whether you find this analysis convincing: https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2018/11/2020-presidential-race-trump-starts-favorite/575344/

Trivia question: A cowboy played an important role in the history of one of Germany's neighboring countries. Name the cowboy and his context and the roles he played in the neighboring country's history and US history. The first correct five responses I receive via email by November 26th at noon will receive a prize in class (you must be present to win!).
