Whenever I'm learning about a certain time in history, whether it be in the United States or abroad, I always try to imagine what it would have been like to live then. I think about the differences between life in different classes of society, and where I would like to fit in all of that. Thinking about this, I don't think that I would like to live in a time period that was all that different from my own. I enjoy showers, and other daily comforts, like bedsheets and tissues.
This is why I would want to live in the 1960s. It was a lovely time. It was a beautiful time. The Beatles were all alive and together like friends should be. Who don't backstab eachother. The Beatles were a beautiful picture of what true friends really are. They stay together through the thick and the thin, and you never saw Paul steal Yoko from John. Why would he do that? They were best friends. Brothers, if you may.
While there was a lot of trouble in politics and social unrest at this time, the average person did not lose their values; they still knew what it was to do right, and be a true friend.
Interesting thoughts, Abby! It would be fun to talk to someone who lived during that time and see what they thought! It always stands out in my mind as very chaotic!
