Paragraph 6 My life as a teenager in Colonial America would have been different from my life as a teenager in America today
Although differences would appear in almost every aspect of my life. I will compare the two time periods just in terms
of chores, education, and recreation
For example, the chores I do today are quite different from those I would have done in colonial days. I usually just
have to make my bed, keep my room clean, and help clear the table after supper. Sometimes I have to wash the dishes
and take out the trash, but not all the time. In colonial days, though, I might have had to get up at sunrise to milk the
cows or gather chicken eggs. I also might have had to chop firewood and start a fire before breakfast. Worse yet, I not
only would have washed the dishes, but also might have had to haul water from a well before I could wash them!
School would also have been different in colonial days. Today I study six different subjects in six different rooms with
six different teachers, Back then, I probably would have been in a one-room schoolhouse. One teacher would have
taught all subjects and grades, and we probably would have studied reading and writing mostly, without many choices
of electives. Other chores I might have had to do include plowing the field, planting crops, or cleaning out the barn.
Similarly, what I
I would have done for recreation in colonial days is different from what I do now. Today I like to play
video games, watch TV, or listen to CDs. Back then, those things wouldn't even have existed. I probably would have
run races. Maybe I would have drawn pictures in the dirt with a stick Teenagers managed to have fun back then even
without modern inventions

because of all the immigration, america became one big melting pot. the diversity of cultures from all over the world made america somewhat divided as well. people that immigrated stayed with their kind, and their traditions, while native born americans stayed with their kind and their traditions. normally, people born in american scorned the immigrants as well. the new religions also divided america. in summary, it took away from the american culture and identified america as the "melting pot."

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

the switch in narration increases the proximity of the narrator to the main character and the reader can perceive information only through the filter of a single character.
