Respond to Kay’s 1st Blog

I think that Kay had an interesting life. I can relate to her life because I have experienced a lot of the things that she did. I am from a Christian family, too. Just like her, I have been going to church a lot. My grandmother used to take me to church with her every Sunday morning. Kay says that she was not planning to stay in the US. She came to the US just for vacation. Just like Kay, I wasn’t planning to stay in America either. However, I ended up staying because of the opportunities. I read that Kay has been dancing since she was seven, she loves dancing, and she is planning to major in dancing. I also love dancing. Dancing is my hobby but not my major. I wish Kay best of luck. I am sure that her dreams will come true if she continues working hard. One day she will open up a dance studio and I might become one of her dance students:-)

1. I totally agree with you that the Native American women were hard working. However, from the readings it seems like they did much more than their husbands. According to your description, it seems like Native American women and men used to work equally, doing the same kind of the jobs. According to my understanding, women were the once doing most of the job and the men were lazy. Most of the time men would do the hunting rather than farming, planting, harvesting and so on.

2. I also think that this statement has to do with White women and slaves having similar lives with no freedom. Even though some white women became slave-owners but their lives were jointly engaged with slavery because they had gone through or were still experiencing all that difficulties.

3. I think a little differently when it comes to the differences among European women colonists. I actually see some significant differences. A big difference among European women colonists that I see is the quality of their lives. Some of them were servants, some did just household chores, and some wealthy European women that had slaves for the chores, dedicated their time to other activities . Also, there were religious, cultural and regional differences among European women colonists.
