The reason that we want to move west is so we can find cheap, rich soil. We want to become farmers, and make money, so we can be rich. We think this is smarter because if we were to go for gold, there wouldn't be as big of a possibility of us becoming rich. If we go for the farmland, we can buy some really cheap because we will be some of the first people there. Becoming farmers will make us money, and we could become rich. The only problem with our plan is getting there... Some other people are moving west to find gold. I don't think that is the best idea, but they can do what they want. And some people are moving west because they are getting mistreated because of their religion. The government gave the soldiers permission to shoot them. Some people are moving there just because they want to live differently, and better. They say they have heard that you never get sick there, and that there is plenty of food to eat and water to drink.
My name is Noreen O'Rielly, and I was born in1803. My parents raised me like a normal child. I would stay home, learn how to knit, and do other things with my mother, while my dad would go out and farm. His job would last 7 hours a day. He would wake up a 5 am sharp (his job didn't require him to get up too early) and go ride 5 miles away to get to the farm. He was a hard worker. But then, when I was 5 years old, he got really sick. The doctor did everything he could, but he could not save him. So it was just me and my mother. We worked really hard together, but we still can't make enough money. So I am going to Oregon to make money for me and my mother. I am very excited to start this Oregon trail so I can make money for mother and I. I just hope I can make enough.
