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.
