I have described enough of my early life to give an impression of the whole. I did not like to work, but I did as much of it, while young, as grown men can be hired
to do in these days, and attended school at the same time. I had as many privileges as any boy in the village, and probably more than most of them. I have no

reflecting upon my experience. Mr. White was a kindhearted man, and was much respected by the community in which he lived. He only followed the universal
custom of the period, and that under which he had received his own education.

going to receive the appointment." "What appointment?" | inquired. "To West Point, I have applied for it. "But I won't go," said.

(1) fire extended humans’ geographical boundaries by allowing them to travel into regions that were previously too cold to explore. (2) it also kept predators away, allowing early humans to sleep securely. (3) fire, in fact, has been a significant factor in human development and progress in many ways. (4) other obvious benefits of fire are its uses in cooking and in hunting. (5) probably even more important, however, is that learning to control fire allowed people to change the very rhythm of their lives.
