Question:

You have now read the seventeenth chapter of Farmer Boy. Even during summer vacation, Almanzo and his family are hard at work. Mother and Father decide that it is time for a vacation. They are going to go away and leave the children to take care of the house for a week. What do you think of this? Would you like to be left behind, while you parents went on vacation? Would you enjoy being left home alone for a week? What would you do if you and your siblings were left to "take care of things and behave yourselves" while your parents were gone for a whole week? Explain your answer. Non-detailed responses will NOT be accepted.
