Questions for Photos 1 & 2

1. Describe each photograph and list the possible occupations of people who lived on the island.

2. In what ways would the scenes have been alike or different at the time the Hadlocks and the Gilleys lived in the region? Would the occupations of the people be likely to be the same? Do the photos show activities similar to those described in the readings?

3. In what ways would the scenes be different today? What would cause such changes over time? Describe why it is important to preserve evidence of the everyday life in the past.
