Working-


There is never really time for lounging here in Massachsetts. There is always something to be done. This is both good and bad. Its good because you will never get bored. It can be bad because when you dont feel like working, you have to anyway. But if you think about it, that's not too bad. But there are various jobs that can be done. The big jobs are Lumbering and Shipbuilding.
Many many colonies need lumber. Well actually every colony needs lumber. Lumber gets cut at the sawmills that transport easily. Most people want walnut, maple, and sycamore wood for there nice floors. So you can work as spinning the maple. Or making the cedar for doorframes or even windows.
Then we have Shipbuilding. Since the "forests and sawmill" are close to the coast, ships can be quikly built. There is much need for ship workers because, alot of fishing is happening and many English merchants purchase ships. So, you can build a boat, carry cargo on and off the boat and ects. But of course there are many more jobs like, farming, fishing, shoe smither, painter, and much more.

Time For Our God!!


Religion is a major part of both the culture and the government here. Sunday is what you call, a day of rest. Your required to work through the week. But when Sunday comes, its time to pay full attention to our Lord.As you should know, your whole family must attentend the Sunday survices, or there will be a punishment. Our survices are about from 9:00 a.m to 9:00 p.m. But our services are also social as well as religious. But to tell you now, this may be the only time neighbors see each other because of everyones busy schedule. But you should'nt miss out on too much. You should have no reason to be late for church, so be on time.The church is made up of protestants. NO CATHOLICS ALLOWED!!
Also, Puritan houses are located close to the church. "This is so no one can ever claim distance as an excuse to miss Sunday worship, sermos. And Thursday night religious sermons. These sermons and lectures reinforce our obedience to strict rules regulating most activitys of our daily life." There shall be no gamballing, and partying.
