Chicago
Living in a neighborhood of Chicago in the 1950s probably wouldn't be as fun as it is to live where I'm living now. My dad would be working real hard to make all the money he could, if he could even get a job that is, and he would probably be gone most of the day working. Mom would be in the kitchen. Where she belongs. I doubt she would be doing any work besides making sandwhiches for the family. We definately wouldn't let her drive. Just make food. We would be poor and days would be long and there wouldn't be a hole lot to look forward to everyday. There would most likely be a lot of segregation as well. I'm sure I would find some friends to hang out with in a run down house though. It would be a good time.

Your blog seems pretty accurate with details. What it would be like and how living would be sounds right. I don't understand though why at first you say it would be fun to live in that time and place, but then in your last sentence you say "It would be a good time."
ReplyDeleteYour entry doesn't really read like it was written by someone living at the time, but by someone living NOW who's imagining what it would be like.
