May 19th

Due Monday,

Answer the following questions about "Life on the Mississippi"

1. Where do we see capitalism in the story? Infer this question.
2. Describe the worker - show evidence.
3. What does the speaker talk about in terms of how he views the river?
4. Why is the boat so important?
5. Why doesn't the 'new' worker not want to express his opinion to the captain?

These answers require mostly comprehension but the first question needs you to refer to the notes we have taken.
