I think this mountain man wants to know what month it is because he has been gone 4 a long time and worries about the crops. The pioneers had hard times because they had no type of keeping time, exept time dials.
September 6th, 2007 at 1:18 pm
He does not know the time because he does not have a w atch and he is worried about the time because he needs to have a certain amount something by a certain time. He does not know the year or month because he has not been back to civilazation.
September 6th, 2007 at 1:21 pm
I think he wanted to know what year it was because he was in the midle of the forest. I also think because he was asking about the crops.
September 6th, 2007 at 1:21 pm
I think the mountain man wants to know the year and month because he’s lost everythng. It shows that pioneers took a risk going west
September 6th, 2007 at 3:20 pm
I think that the mountain man wanted to no the date because he had crops that he needed to grow and if he knew the date he would know when to pull them or when to do something with them and I think he needed to know the time because he had to pull them at a certain time
September 6th, 2007 at 3:48 pm
I think he was annoyed because he had to keep time or record of how long since he did some thing to his plants and needs to know when he needs to do some thing again. The pioneers had hard times becaus they had no way to tell them wat time it is or the date so they wouldnt no if they had to be some where that they had to be there right then. I did not realy get that next time can you pick an itresting one.
September 6th, 2007 at 4:01 pm
I think the mountain man wanted to know what day it was because he had been in the mountains and he had lost count. It must have been bad because he had to guess what day his crops would be ready. It was sad that he didn’t have much up at his “home” and it looked really cold! It would be fun sleeping in the mountains once but i would HATE to live there.
September 6th, 2007 at 4:02 pm
the mountain man is curious about the year and month because he would like to know when the crops wouldl be ready to pick and eat! it bothers him because it may not be the month he wanted to pick the crops! maybe!
September 6th, 2007 at 4:13 pm
I agree with connor, i think that he lost everything in search of new land and new hopes but now he has hopes of maybe returning to his old land to lead a normal life. This includs farming which i think is why he wants to know th month which might be a reason.
September 6th, 2007 at 4:18 pm
I agree with Conner. The man does not have much because he couldn’t take many belongings. He was living of rabbbits and getting their fur so he could eventualy sell them.
September 6th, 2007 at 4:35 pm
i think the man was a settler and didnt know the date or the month of the year . they have to know what time it is because that is a critical thing during the day in order to get by.
September 6th, 2007 at 5:25 pm
I think he wants to know month it is because he was in the middle of the forest without any way to tell what time it was because of a crop that he wanted to plant or so that can figure out how close to summer or another season was. I think that it bothered him because he might have something important that he has to do or it’s something important to him that he remembers.
September 6th, 2007 at 8:06 pm
I think the man wants to know the date becaues i guess he has been gone a long time and he thinks his crops need to be watered. He seemed kind of sad about it.
September 6th, 2007 at 8:20 pm
I think the mountain man wanted to know what month of the year it was because he had been gone for a long amount of time and he was worried about his crops. It bothers him because it was so cold out there and he didn’t know if he needed to water or plant them.
September 7th, 2007 at 8:10 am
I think that the man wanted to know what month it was because he needed to make shure that his crops were not dying. He also wanted to know when to harvest them.
September 7th, 2007 at 11:33 am
it showed that many people wanted to go west so bad that they fogot the month. it bothered him because he realized that he was way to busy travaling.
September 7th, 2007 at 11:35 am
I think that he wanted to know what the month was because he had just arrived in America and wanted to know how long he’d been there.
September 7th, 2007 at 2:06 pm
I think that the two men liked each other and had been away for a long time now and didn’t know what month it was.
September 7th, 2007 at 2:11 pm
I think that the two men liked each other and had been away for a long time now and didn’t know what month it was. They were pioneers and were trying to get somewhere. it shows how it was so riskey moving west.
September 7th, 2007 at 3:29 pm
I think the mountain man wanted to no what month it was because he has been in the mountains for a long time and had no idea how his crops were doing. It bothers him very much because he doesn’t no if he needs to pull them or not. He also doesn’t no if the crops are frozen because it is freezing where he is.
September 7th, 2007 at 3:39 pm
I think the pioneers went through some very hard times including food, tying to keep themselves warm, weather and alot of other hard times. The pineer was so curious to know what time it is what the day was what month it was and other infermation. He also doesn’t know if the crops are frozen or are ready to eat and he is just dying of curosity.
September 7th, 2007 at 3:46 pm
I think the mountain man didn’t know what month it was because he had been gone for a long time and there was know way for him to keep track of time.
September 7th, 2007 at 9:10 pm
i think the mountain manwas fed up with not knowing what time it was because curiosity got the best of him. he also had no way of telling what time it was because he was so far away from civiliztion.
September 8th, 2007 at 10:03 am
He was curious about what month it was because he’d lost count
September 8th, 2007 at 10:34 am
LAURA,
I think that the mountain man wanted to know what the month it was because he probably had been out there in the mountains and he wants to record how long he has been outside in the woods. I think that the times were so hard and he wanted to have a house and get out of the harsh weather.
September 8th, 2007 at 11:22 am
I belive that he wanted to know the year because he wanted to feel that he was snae
September 8th, 2007 at 11:23 am
I mean sane
September 8th, 2007 at 11:49 am
I think the mountain man wanted to know what month of the year it was because he traveling for a long time and had lost count of the days and months and maybe years.
September 8th, 2007 at 11:54 am
It bothered him because he wanted to get out of there.
September 8th, 2007 at 8:18 pm
Clara
i think the pioneers wanted to know what he day and month was because think about their family and their crops. it was hardfo them becaouse they have to keep warm and get food. It must be really hard.
September 9th, 2007 at 10:08 am
I think the mountain man doesn’t know what day and month it is because because he is lost in the mountains and doesn’t have any calender that tells him what the day and month it is. I think this bothers him because he woudn’t know when his crops were ready.
September 9th, 2007 at 11:10 am
i think that the mountain man is a survivor or maybe he is a long lost member of the tribe. he wants to know the date because if he was a survivor than he would maybe like to know how long that he has been there or maybe he wants to know what date it is because he is a farmer and he doesnt want his crops to spoil. that video clip was a little confusing. i had a little trouble figuring it out.
September 9th, 2007 at 12:03 pm
He does not know what month it is because he does not have a calander. He needs to know what month it is so he nows how ling he has been out there.
September 9th, 2007 at 12:15 pm
I think that the mountain man wanted to know what month it is because wanted to know if it was crops season
September 9th, 2007 at 12:30 pm
The mountain man is worried because he needs to hunt and farm to survive in the wilderness, but he does not know when spring will begin.
September 9th, 2007 at 12:47 pm
I think the mountain man needs to know what month it is to plant food and does not know when spring is or what to hunt. I think he needed the date for food and too know whats going on back where he lived. Also i think he needs to know how long he has been gone.
September 9th, 2007 at 1:10 pm
Andrew
I think he wanted to know the month or the time in general because the pioneers lived on natural surroundings that could only grow or be alive at certain times of the year. If did not know when each thing should start or end, he would not be able to live on the schedule he needed to.
September 9th, 2007 at 2:13 pm
I think that the man didn’t know what the month was because he probobly didn’t have a calender but, you can always predict what month it is or time of day by looking at your surroundings and thinking of the information that you already know!
September 9th, 2007 at 2:25 pm
I agree with Ben F. because he would want to know how long he had been in the wilderness if he was following things to track. It would be important to him to find out how long he was out in the wilderness.
September 9th, 2007 at 3:41 pm
I think that the man from the clip was wondering what month and year it was because he had probably been in the wilderness for a long time. Then one day he sat down and wondered what month and year it was. He had probably lost track months and months ago. Most settlers left their family for a long time to find a better life for them. Settlers would fight for there lives against the harsh wilderness eat on rabbits, squirrels, and wild berries. Life of a settler was hard. : )
September 9th, 2007 at 3:42 pm
I think that the man was wondering what month and year it was because he had been traveling for so long. But on day he sat down and wondered what year it was. When the settlers were first arriving life was hard. Alot of them had families they left behind to go find there famliys a better place to live. Most of them lost track of the days the months and the years. It was hard life for the settlers.
September 9th, 2007 at 3:52 pm
I think the mountain man didn’t know what month and year it was and i think it bothered him because he was worried about crops and maybe some people that didn’t have food. Also he wondered maybe to see how long he had been traveling.
September 9th, 2007 at 3:57 pm
i think the man wanted to know what month it was because he wanted to know when he would have to get food for winter, or know whens hes able to move on. it was hard for them to keep track of days and months because they had nothing to wrtie on to keep track. i thik being a settler would be hard because they had to fight there way for freedom. they also had to be patient and be aware of their surrondings.
September 9th, 2007 at 4:23 pm
I think the mountain men did not know what month it was because they had been out in the forest for so long, fighting for there lives that they lost count of the days. They were away from civilization, so they obvivously didn’t have watches, calenders, clocks, etc. I think not knowing the date bothered them because it made them sad knowing that they have been in the middle of nowhere for ages, and they wonder if they’ll ever know the date again, if they’ll ever see civilization again.
September 9th, 2007 at 5:12 pm
He might not of had a calendar a nd he probably needed to see how long he had been in the woods for. it bothers him because he might want to get back home or something llike that.
September 9th, 2007 at 5:14 pm
I think that the mountain man doesn’t know what time of year it is because he didn’t have a calender, and he was so far away from any village or town, that he couldn’t ask what the date was. This bothered him because by not knowing the date, I think he felt cut off from the rest of the world. I think he felt bad and lonely, not knowing what day or month it was.
September 9th, 2007 at 5:44 pm
I think he was upset because he had been through alot and he might have missed his family and he was also probably was worried about what month because of his crops and he probably had been out in the wild for a long long long time and wanted to get back to sivlazation. and if he knew what month it was he might use that information for hunting.
September 9th, 2007 at 6:01 pm
The man probably missed his homeland and wished to know what month it was so that he could reaccount old memories. He pobably also could use that information to know what plants would be in blossum and which animals would be in hunting season. He might also want to know how long he’d been away from sivilasation.
September 9th, 2007 at 6:10 pm
I think he’s upset about not knowing what month it is because he dosen’t know if he’s birthday has passed and he dosen’t know how long of time he has been away from his crops and family
September 9th, 2007 at 6:12 pm
I think that the mountain man wanted to know what time of the year it was because he needed to know when the crops would be ripe so he could eat and he also needed to know when there would be better weather so he could keep on traveling. I think that being a pioneer would be very hard because you always have to be on the move and you have to be very aware of you surroundings.
September 9th, 2007 at 6:12 pm
I think that the man wanted to know what month it was because he wanted to know when winter would be over and when the ice and snow would start melting. It looked like he had been traveling for a very long time.
September 9th, 2007 at 6:48 pm
i think he could not have the date because where the heck would he get a calander or day chart? i would have been mad because i would not know what day christmas was or my b-day
September 9th, 2007 at 7:03 pm
I think he wants to now the date so that maybe he could now when to pick his crops or his b-day. And he wanted to know maybe because he was a travaler and wanted to know when the winter would come.I think he was bothered because if he never new what the date was then his life would be ruined.
September 9th, 2007 at 7:25 pm
I did not really get it but i think it is because They have been gone so long that they do not know when it is and they miss their family and real civilazation.
September 9th, 2007 at 8:10 pm
I think that these mountain men don’t know
what month it is because back then they didn’t have things like calenders
or watches or anything to help them keep track of the days, months,
and years.I think it bothers him because he probably is wondering about his crops and family.
September 9th, 2007 at 8:11 pm
I think that the mountain man didn’t know the month or year because he was isolated in the mountains with pretty much no one to talk to except that one guy. I think it bothered him because where he came he could just ask anybody he knew what the date was and they could tell him almsot immediately.
September 9th, 2007 at 8:50 pm
The mountain man didn’t know the month or year because they didn’t have a calender or they weren’t close to civilization. They would need to know what time so they could prepare for Winter. They would also need to know the time because they need to know when there crops are ready. That is the only food they have.
September 9th, 2007 at 9:05 pm
I think this man does not know the date because, they were so focused on surviving, that knowing the date was one of their least concerns, and they were too busy finding food and water and warmth to make knotches or anything to keep time.
September 9th, 2007 at 9:11 pm
I think it bothered them because it made them realize how far removed they were from civilization.
September 9th, 2007 at 9:30 pm
I think the mountain men wanted to kno what mounth it was because it was really cold and he didn’t have much fur to cover himself. They also probaly wanted to know because they had been removed from normal life that they were getting sad and they hated being out there and they wanted to go back home.
September 10th, 2007 at 7:05 am
I think the mountain man didn’t keep track of time so he couldn’t know when stuff was going on. I think that he had to visit a town, but he didn’t know when so he didn’t visit it.
September 10th, 2007 at 7:24 am
he does not know the time because i do not think they kept track of it as eary settlers.
September 10th, 2007 at 7:38 am
I agree With Michelle. i think that he is aggravated that he doesn’t know what time of year it is to pick his crops. Because if he picks them at the wrong year they won’t turn out the best that they can be.
