Life without....

This weeks newspaper is about the birthday of the first settlement in the United States. This first settlement was called Jamestown. It is 400 years old. As I think about what life was like 400 years ago I think about all the technologies and things we use now such as refrigerators, cars, GPS, and more. What do you think you would miss about the things we have today if YOU lived 400 years ago??

Hmmm.. this is a tough one. I think I could live without cars because I like to walk and I like riding horses. I would miss my diet pepsi because I really really like diet pepsi but I also like good cold water. I would miss a refrigerator and freezer but I think I could learn to live off the land. I would also miss hot showers but I could take a bath in the river. So, I think I would most miss access to a lot of different books. I don't think they had a library back then. They did a lot of story telling and sharing.

I would not like it back then because
technology would not exist. And sports would not exist, so I would not be able to play soccer and basketball and baseball and football and golf and hockey and I would not even get to read books. So I would miss playing sports and watching Television. I would also miss movies and electricity and I would have to take a shower in the stream and I don't like washing myself outside so I would miss the electricity inside.

I would miss my A/C. Imagine it's a really cold winter and you go inside and it's just as cold as outside. And in the summer there is no way to keep cool. And animals and bugs could get into your house when ever. You bed won't have any thick blankets. Bugs would be crawling all over your house. And sleeping in the winter with thin blankets you would be very cold all night long.

I wouldn't like to live in that time because it would be vary hot during the summer and it would be very cold during the winter. it would be a hard life in my opinion you would have to grow your own food and you would have to also hunt food you would have to deal abut the Indians try to take back land I also wouldn't like to sail 4 months just to get there what I also wouldn't like it because there wouldn't be any technology I wouldn't like it because there wouldn't be any roller coasters another bad thing would be that there would be lots of disease I would like abut it you get to ride horses I always wanted to ride a horse.
