Kindred

Have you ever complained about how you live? Well now think about how was living back in the 1800s. Living in the 1800s with no cars, no medicine, no washer machines, people had different amount of power over other persons, with little to none freedom & living under a racist social condition. In the book Kindred, Octavia Butler describes how was living in the 1800s.

In the 1800s there was not such thing as X-Rays or blood test, or Tylenol or moder medicine in fact most of the things that the doctors only did was to take out all of your blood. In page 191, Octavia Butler states “Poor medical care or none at all.” What she is trying to say is that in the 1800s there was a higher possibility of overcoming a fever by your own or possible dieing from a high fever too.

Also in the 1800s a lot of people got sick because of lack of sanitation. People took showers once a month & sometimes for a longer period of time. People didn’t took that much showers because they didn’t had that much clothes & every time they had to wash it took about 1 whole day. First they would start with putting the clothes in hot water & stir them for about 3 hours. Then they would hang them up the clothes & wait until it got dry. This is why people didn’t took showers so they got sick & this was a major problem in the 1800s.

 Now with all the technology we have in the 21st Century everything can be done in a few seconds. If we feel sick we can go to the doctor & get check up & get some medicine in like 3 hours. If we need to wash some clothes we can go to the laundromat or wash at home in less than 2 hours. Living in the 21st Century is way better & faster than living in the 1800s.

You should never complain about how you lived, instead you should be thankful for what you have because there was worse times & people still overcome those times.
