Die in Jamestown (Stinky!) or live in Williamsburg! (Clean!)

Jamestown – Fires, dysentery, disease, bad soil, human waste, animal waste! Clearly not the place to live! Or die.

Details pointed out:

  • Stinky [with waves of smell]
  • No or little trees
  • Fire
  • That’s a big fly
  • Dirty air
  • Outhouse on fire
  • Human/animal waste
  • Nathaniel Bacon [who appears to be laughing “ha ha ha” and whose horse Joseph advises: “Run little horsey before you die”]
  • Wilted tobacco (sorry crop owner, no trade for you!)
  • No minerals [in soil]

Williamsburg –  Trees, mineral-rich soil, fresh air, no fire, clean (even shiny clean). Clearly the place to live!

Details pointed out:

  • Clean [with sparkles]
  • Unusually large tree due to rich soil! Tree features: bird, bird nest and an owl hole in a tree
  • Clean air
  • No more Nathaniel, but there was bacon! [picture of bacon]
  • No animal/human waste
  • Mineral [in soil]
  • Yay little horsey, you made it! [possibly Nate Bacon’s horse that escaped death in Jamestown?]
  • [A house] for scale to the tree, which he points out is “not on fire”
  • Shiny clean
  • Tobacco good enough for a king

[His teacher graded him a 4 (this is the top grade) with the note: Super Job!]
