Colonial Life
Hi my name is Jake Sully Smith from the new world, Long Island in New York and, I have a wonderfully story to tell you about my life. I live with my mom; Mary my dad; Wilford and my 5 younger siblings. The 2 boys are called Jeffery who is nine and, George he’s five by the way. I have 3 younger sisters. The youngest is Hannah she’s 3. Then the next oldest is Alice she’s 7. Last but not least my 10-year-old Lauren. So as you can see we have quit a small family. Our neighbors have 8, some who go’s to my school has 12. Can you believe it 12. The other day me friend John and I saw a bunch of kids all wearing the same thing. We thought that they were all from the same house but it turns out that that was there school uniform. My school doesn’t have to wear one of those things.

So a little bit more about myself I am 14 and I do go to school like I said before. We can afford it because my dad is the town’s only farmer. So to make money we obviously sell our crops to the town’s people. We are in the upper class because of this. We actual moved here to escape debtors prison but, hey look at us now. Not that many people die in our town because of disease and all. Our town does not believe in slavery because we thought well how would we feel about this. We pay small taxes to our government. Since our town has only around 1,000 people we don’t need a militia.

I actual kind a like it here in the new world I thought that I would completely hate it when we moved. Once you make friends it feels just like home again. We live a big house because of this we would have a lot of parties. When I grow up I think that I might just stay here and continue on with the farm. Well this all the time I have to write now cause my dad’s calling me to help him out in the garden.
