About the duties of husband and Wives

- What did you learn about life in the colonies from reading this document?
  • I learned that in the colonies that the man ran the household but he shouldnt do it to be mean or bossy but to take care of the family. And that the woman should take care of the household and should be under the mans government.

- What surprised you the most about what you read?

  • What surprised me the most is that they really work together other than the husband thelling the wife what to do because on movies, in the old days I always see the husband pushing the wife around.


- Compare and contrast the differences between American life today and life for Americans during the colonial era.

  • The difference between American life today and Americans during the colonial era is that the women have the same rights and oppertunities as the man does now and she doesnt have to stay in the house all day and clean up unless she really wants to. But its still the same because they have to help one another through sickness and in health and that they have to love one another with all of there heart.

Well done. Your third response hits the nail on the head. Do you think most married couples today "help one another through sickness and in health and that they have to love one another with all of there heart"?

A few small errors that I can help you fix, but overall great content. As is 28/30 points.

I agree with Jasmine with the family ordeal. The wife should be pretty free to what they want to do, but still be loyel.
