Today in class we experienced the life of living in a Soddy.
We experienced how it smelt and how we would have to live in the very congested
area. We also found out how taking pictures back then was very different than
it is now. Starting with the smell of Soddy, it’s really not that bad it’s actually
a refreshing and relaxing nature like smell, I could definitely get used to it.
Trying to live in a Soddy would be very challenging because there is almost no
room for anything. Depending on how big your family is you would have to divide
up the space for sleeping and a small area to cook and stay warm during the
bitter cold winters. Taking picture back then was rare so people didn't really
smile out of respect. It was also challenging to take a picture back then because
you would have to stay still for a long period of time until the picture was
taken.
1) My overall impression of living in
a Soddy is that it would certainly be a change of lifestyle from the way I live
today. Everyday tasks would become very difficult if I had to live in a Soddy. Imagine
living without electricity in the world we live in today. I certainly wouldn't be
able to be typing this right now and writing would be very difficult in the
dark. I think living in a Soddy would be much more challenging than most people
think because they are so used to having things handed to them.
2) I don’t think I would last too
long living in a Soddy, maybe a few weeks tops. I think after a week or two I would
just become crazy without being able to do the everyday things I do today. I
like having my own space, and most likely I wouldn't have a lot of that in a
Soddy.
3) If I had to choose from life in
the city or the Great Plains I would choose the Great Plains. If I had chosen
the city I would risk my safety in all terms. The city is nothing but dirty and
stressful I would also struggle with money. Life in the Great Plains would be much simpler
even if I had to work to sustain my family and I.
