1. Why do Marven's parents send him away and not his sisters?
2. Would his parents make this same decision today?

As a 4th grade teacher I am empowered each and everyday by the students in my class! Thanks for hanging out with me.
1. They send him away and not the sisters because back then girls weren't allowed to go to a logging camp.
ReplyDelete2. If they were trying to keep him safe away from the flu then yes.
1. Because Marven was the only one who could carry the family name and back then girls weren't aloud at logging camps.
ReplyDelete2. Maybe but they would probably just give him a shot.
1. Girls are not aloud at logging camp, only mean and boys. Also Marven is the one to carry on the family name. With out the boy or man the last name of the family won't get carried on.
ReplyDelete2. They might. But they made the decision that day because of influenza sickness in the city of Duluth. They also made him go so he could become a man. There is possibility they might, but not as much as the day that he did go.
because boys are more better
ReplyDeleteNO CAN DO
1. Girls were not aloud to go to logging camp, only boys and the boy carries the name.
ReplyDelete2. They might if they have a terrible sickness.
Have a great day. :)
I am excited for spring break I am going to Los Angles to pick up my aunt and go to Nuts berry farm that is awesome!!
His parents sent him because they want him to be a strong man. Also his parents would probably not send them now.
ReplyDelete1. Marven's parents send him away because the Influenza had made his aunt Sadie die. Since Marven was the only boy he could be the only one to keep the family name (or last name). Because he's the only one to get married and have the female take his name and keep it going.
ReplyDelete2. I don't think that parents would do this today because now if someone's sick you can just get medicine. And most of the time now Influenza isn't that bad where it could kill someone.
His mom and dad didn't send his sisters because they are to small and probly would get hurt. The would not because if he had the right medicen he would be fine.

1. They sent the boy because the boy in the family carries the family last name.
ReplyDelete2. Yes the might because the boy still carries the name in the family name.
I have to do the blog for the 13th tomorrow because I did the 17th on the 13th!!
ReplyDelete1. Because the girls had a sickness and Marven didn't so he was O.K. to go.
ReplyDelete2. Yes probably because maybe he is old enough to hold and axe.
