Unit 1-Assignment 7

I read the Benjamin Wadsworth, A Well-Ordered Family (Boston, 1712)
- What did you learn about life in the colonies from reading this document? Life in the colonies was very strongly caring about their family,and they stuck together all the time.


- What surprised you the most about what you read?One surprising thing that stoke out to me when it said -If the one is sick, troubled, or distressed, the other should manifest care, tenderness, pity, and compassion, and afford all possible relief and succor-that's like in today's world where each other gender take care of each other when their sick or something.


- Compare and contrast the differences between American life today and life for Americans during the colonial era.Most of this story wasn't really different from today's world.It talked about how mans and women's date older genders.It talks about they should stick with each other thought everything.

Unit 5-Assignment 1

Is is all about the money?Yes,to me its all about money.people actions are driven by money,because if they got money,they go out and spend it and be happy.If they doesn't have any money they stay at home and be bored,wit their actions.Money leads to happiness all the times,you get to do exciting things with it.No people with money,isn't better than the people without any money.S0me rich people are bored and lonely,and some broke people are happy and not bored,so their not any better .The wealthy get their money because of their work,not because of someone else.Doctors,and lawyer,and ball players,do what they like,to earn their earnings,so it's their doing for them self. No its no responsibility to share money with others that doesn't have any.But I was rich,I'll share my money with lots of people in the world,and make their life better,and maybe they can became rich and help someone.

Unit 4-Assignment 8(1)

Dear ,Students of PLC,

I chose to study the photo of Gettysburg.In the picture their are bodies lying on the ground after the Battle of Gettysburg.It was a huge number of men's in the war.A war between the Union and the confederates.The confederates took on the win of the war.The Union came in the war tough as a knot,and some died,and some was hard knocks.
To me this was an interesting war.They fought fit to be tied ,and either army didn't give up.The confederates had the top of the hill,so that the union could be at disadvantage of winning the war.They was getting shot down from the top.
