You have successfully completed the task of imagining yourself as a twelve year old child traveling westward on a long and difficult trip.
Here are some things to think about:
-Do I appreciate the difficulty encountered and the sacrifices made by those pioneers and settlers in the mid 1800s?
-If I lived during that time, would I want my family to take such a trip and risk life and limb to potentially have a better life?
-Did the sacrifices of those pioneers and settlers make our country a better place to live?
