This week we are reading about the Monroe Family and how their descendants benefited from the findings of the California Gold Rush. How was life different in the mines from life today? What facts can you gather from reading the article? If you were a child during this time period, how do you think things would be different for you than they are now? Please respond with complete sentences, punctuation, and capitalization.

We have better machines and technology then we did long ago. The entire life of the Monroe family and more. You would go to school for a while and then you would work on the farm until you go to bed.

I can see how life was for the person and questions from the person. It would be completely different because there was still slavery in that time you know though. And you would have to work hard to get paid. They problaly made more new invetions than in early time than today and I think they had made new tunnels so they can search for gold so I guess that it totally different .

And life for a child back then would be harder than it look. You would be in school in a little while and then you would be working in the mines after that. So I would say that being a kid back then it would be a tough life back then. And I don't think school will be that bad.

We have computers and they have to work to get money.the facets I can gather are they had to work very hard to earn things.I would go to school for a little amount of time then start working.i would try my best to work hard because I can earn more things than I do now

Life was different then the mines from today because we have technology and the mines didn't have technology.That the gold rush had to go under ground to get the gold nuggets,flakes,bits of gold.And if I was a child at that time I would be digging gold,and its different because we got electronics,and back then they had gold to dig and I feel bad for them because you don't suppose to judge somebody for there color only cuz they have a heart

Back then people had to find gold.they did not have big machines to dig in the ground to find what they need.they did not have thigs we have now,like IPads.i would probably have to work then go to school or go to school then work to find gold.
