4/23 class
today in class we did an activity on what it would be like to live in a sod house. we discussed what is was like living in a sod house, and the struggles that we would face without electricity, and in the long cold winter.
1.overall impression of the sod house- i think living in the sod house would be very difficult and miserable. cooking would be a struggle, and sleeping would be very uncomfortable. the fire would also be unsafe.
2. how long could you go before going insane- i could probably go a couple months before going insane being in a small sod house with my family.
3. city or great plains- based on what i have learned, i would have rather stayed in the city, then moved to the great plains. moving west would have required a lot of travelling, and even though i would have gotten a lot of land for not a lot of money, but it wouldn't be worth it. farming the land was difficult, and living in the sod house would have been horrible.
