The Regeneration of Roaring Camp
	"And so the work of regeneration began is Roaring Camp"(9). The
regeneration referred to takes place in a California mining camp in 1850 after
the birth of Tommy Luck, son of Cherokee Sal, the camp’s prostitute, who
died giving birth. Sometimes one doesn’t realize how much he needs to
change until he gets a subtle push from fate. Just a little addition to the world
can cause a regeneration of a lifetime. Bret Harte demonstrates this idea in
the story "The Luck of Roaring Camp." In this story, Bret Harte shows that
even the roughest men can regenerate into kind, gentle, wholesome people,
with the love of a child.
	"The term "roughs" applied to them was a distinction rather than a
definition(3). The men of Roaring Camp live the way they please. They have
no rules or regulations, nobody to impress, and nobody to tell them what to
do or how to act. "The assemblage numbered about one hundred men. One
or two of these were actual fugitives from justice, some were criminal, and all
were reckless"(2). The men of Roaring Camp were unruly and all it takes is
the love of an infant to change the rude into responsible. Roaring Camp will
go through a regeneration of a lifetime. All of the men at the mining camp
will strive to make Roaring Camp a suitable place for a baby to live. The
very first signs that the men are in the process of change...

“The Luck of Roaring Camp,” authored by Bret Harte, begins with the death of the only female life in the camp. She dies while in childbirth with a baby later named Tommy Luck. Tommy, throughout the story, brings out a sense of motherhood in the men. The men of Roaring Camp never experienced this kind of trait before because they believe in strict gender norms. Generally, the norms are that women raise children and the men provide. However, with the absence of a mother in the camp, the men are forced to change their perspective in order to raise Tommy. Tommy’s birth in the camp brought the men to reevaluate their strict gender norms in order to accommodate Tommy’s upbringing by forcing the men to exhibit compassion, sanitation, and protection

When focusing on the specific needs of the children, the teachers are happier, the staff is happier, but most important the children are happier.
“Come on, guys,” I yelled at my family, which consists of my mom Madonna, my father John, and my two sisters Alissa and Kara, as I ran frantically across the jam-packed parking lot to the opening gate that led to a world of adventure. As wide as the world around, my eyes pierced at the doorway to a world of fun. Families, of all sizes, were enjoying all the possibilities of fun. Hearing laughter and frightening screams, warned me of the experience waiting for me within the doorway to everlasting amazement. The sweet baked smell of funnel cakes swarmed into the fresh morning air. Before I knew it, my family and I were ready to enter Valleyfair, an amusement park that offers summertime fun to the maximum.

Having spent the better part of six summers hiking, cooking, orienteering, and practicing archery on the trails of Huddart Park, California, summer camp became a very precious time of my life. When I entered high school, I began working as a Unit Aide at my camp which meant I had the privilege to now teach young girls a whole slew of tasks such as survival skills, first aid, and knife skills. While attending Woodside Priory High School, I heard about similar activities such as archery and overnights that Mountain Camp counselors hosted. Chris Gregory encouraged me to look into the camp and see if it was something I might take interest in, and I soon discovered that it definitely captured my attention. I adore working with kids and would especially
