It was her second nature. During her twenty years of living in Lancaster as a good wife she become adapt at sewing and knitting articles of clothing for her family. As a captive, she put her skills to good use. Her excellent talent at needlework was also useful for establishing a favorable rapport with Philip, leader of the uprising. There even a moment when Philip invited her to his wigwam and even offered her a pipe, which she rejected, but we can see here that she was taken not as a regular captive.
I was unable to describe to Mary that her father will no longer into the room and pick her up or even tell her stories at bedtime. I also urged her brother, Edward Jr. to not try to mention it to her, but support and take care of her as best as he can. Mary was growing up and meanwhile this whole time I was telling her stories of her father and everything that happened between him and me inclusive the part with Bertha and how she burned the house down. Edward Jr. looks a younger version of his father, finally happy and married to a wonderful wife who is expecting her first son within this year. Mary enjoys going out with her friends to parties and even brings my cousin’s daughters with her.
The wives are obedient to their husbands but first and for most the wives are supposed to be faithful to God. The wife has a purse that is controlled by her husband who gives her money for house hold items and clothing as needed. Arguments among couples often go unnoticed or with silence. The Amish rarely divorce as they see no grounds for it. Family is considered the most important social component amid the Amish.
(World book ency.) I have learned that the Biltmore is a mansion of beauty. And many people like to visit it during the holidays. George W. Vanderbilt was a very smart man when he decided to build this house because it has become a great success. I also learned that the Biltmore has very many activities for the guests to participate in.
They expected me to do my best in school, and I had chores to do on a weekly basis. Many thought I was “spoiled” growing up because I was an only child, but I never received everything I wanted. I believe that is one thing my parents instilled in me – just because I was an only child did not mean that everything was going to be handed to me. One incident I can remember as a pre-teen that helped me understand what greediness can do to people occurred when we were at a distant relative’s funeral. The deceased children were haggling over who was going to get the deceased wedding ring.
Martin shared very personal stories about himself, his family and his wife to Arnaud. Arnaud then took his similar appearance to Martin as an advantage to start a new life by impersonating him. When the imposter returned as Martin eight years after he left everyone was ecstatic about his return especially his beloved wife, Bertrande. Bertrande didn’t suspect her husband was actually another until after she had a child with him. When she had doubt about Martin she spoke to the priest, her sisters and also Martin’s uncle, but it wasn’t acted upon.
My site visit report was conducted on the BAPS Hindu Temple (Shri Swaminarayan Mandir) in Lilburn, Georgia. Not only was my visit a visual learning experience, it was also a mini vacation into a different world. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine such a beautiful and ornate religious structure existing within driving distance of my house. Ironically before this assignment was given, I traveled to the BAPS Hindu Temple with my family on what was supposed to be a “surprise visit to a place we had never been before”, according to my mother. I expected to go to lunch, visit a new state park or go out shopping in a new boutique, but I never guessed what I later saw as one of the most beautiful structures made by man.
I loved her immensely and went against my mother’s disapproval of the marriage. Eleanor was hard to get along with because she was socially awkward and did not talk very much. She was the light of my life, however, and I loved her. Eleanor’s parents had passed when she was ten, and her uncle, Theodore Roosevelt, stood up for her deceased father in our wedding. We had six children in all.
It would be the most amazing feeling marring into his family, who has been my support system through out of these years. I have to admit that I watch all of the wedding shows on TLC including Say Yes to the Dress, Four Weddings and Say Yes to the Dress Bridesmaids. I have my dream wedding planned out, and with anticipation one day financially I will be able to make that come true. After a booming marriage for a few months I would like to start a family. I don’t want to have kids when I am too old, I want to be able to watch them get married and have kids.
They were of English descent and were devout Protestants. While my grandmother could not give a specific reason on why they lived in Massachusetts, she believed that a significant influence was the serenity of Cape Cod that allowed her grandparents to live a simple, religious life on the coast. My great grandmother, Manetta Annis, was born in South Yarmouth in 1920. Her childhood, according to my grandmother, was spent learning the domestic skills and attending religious services. Manetta was, however, personally more interested in traveling to cities such as Boston and New York, allured by the grandeur of cosmopolitan living.
