It's ironic how they could be so hospitable and so cold and unwelcoming at the same time. Strangers were giving Franklin a place to stay and food to eat and yet were judgmental about his appearance asking if he was a runaway. It seems as if they were willing to be giving as long as it did not hurt their reputation. It would obviously not look good if someone was found to be housing a runaway. People in this time period were obviously consumed with the way others viewed them. I think we are still like that today as a society but we are not as obvious about it. We pretend to not care what others think of what we do, the way we dress, act, etc. but inside we do desire society approval just like Franklin's society did.Emily Sharpehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15276179608169403940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223734349170514074.post-31722920230453550062011-08-29T05:41:16.500-07:002011-08-29T05:41:16.500-07:00Looks good so far!
