I have never seen her so excited to go to school and show-off all her hard work, time, and effort she has put in this project. For three days, the judges kept all the science experiments to see who would win 1st place.

Colonel Graff, a teacher at Battle School, has used this principle on a young Ender Wiggin, to make him one of the best child soldiers that mankind has ever had. He “isolated Ender to make him struggle. To make him prove...that he was far better than everyone
New England Families Roles of the families in the 1700s A simple life: mother spins wool into cloth, father cuts the wood, the sons are away at grammar school for the day, and Ellen makes candles while her younger sisters do easier chores. Minimalism and simplicity are key to frugal life of a New Englander. The above scene was most common in a farm. The women married young, in their twenties, (potential husbands were from a group of suitable acquaintances who shared their religion and social standing) and had 6-8 children, most of whom survive to adulthood. The role of the mothers was mainly to raise healthy children, support their husbands, and primarily to provide for the family.
