weekly artical cowboys

in Hollywood cowboys are the hero's of the west there polite,hardworking,gun slinging,tough guys
in real life there is some truth to the portray but also some Pieces are not so truthful.in real
life cowboys were indeed hard workers.they had to mend protect and wrangle cattle and horse
which isn't easy work.one of the false stereo types in Hollywood however is that the cowboys were gun slinging violent
people.cowboys seemed to be very social having many parties known as hoe downs or rodeos.what was very
surprising in real life that was not shown in Hollywood is the fact that many cowboys were
homosexual.this was due to the the low population of women in the west and the Strong bond between the cowboys.
another thing that differs in movies then in real life is that in movies there were many rouge cowboys or just a
group of two or three of them.but in real life this hard rigorous job requires a whole team of cowboys each with
specific jobs like a boss and cook.a stereo type that Hollywood did get right for the most part was the clothing the cowboys
wore. it consisted of cowboy hat bandanna cowboy boots chaps jeans and gloves.necessary cloths for the job i suppose.all in all
Hollywood did a great job in making the American cowboy entertaining but far from a bulls
eye on the truth.
