My Day with the Founding Fathers

Me: Interviewer

Founding Fathers: “Interviewee”

Authors Note: This is an essay in the form of an interview. Readers should look for the hints of the Constitution and the different style of words.

Interviewer: Hello, today I will be sitting down with the Founding Fathers. We are going to ask them  some questions.

Interviewer: Well then let’s get started.

Interviewer: What do you think of our technology and electronics?

Interviewee: Your technology and information moves much too fast for us to understand.

Interviewer: Ha-ha. Now we have much more wireless technology then back them.

Interviewee: It’s magnificent how far your technology can travel, and how far it can go.

Interviewer: It is, it really is.

Interviewer: What do you have to say about how much we consume in comparison to 1776?

Interviewee: The generations of today definitely consume more and more each year, whether it be food, knowledge, or power.

Interviewer: Might I add that we now have more resources and opportunities than you had when you were growing up.  

Interviewee: That is true although the society of today is MUCH more wasteful, you have become a “throw-away” society. Back 1776 we didn’t have much, but when things broke we fixed them instead of throwing them away.

Interviewer: That’s true, now a days we get toys with our food. And even then we usually don’t even save them.

Interviewer: Ok let’s move on. How would you describe the pros and cons of society?

Interviewee: We can’t exactly describe what the goods and bads are about what the United States of America has become, that would create an uprising.

Interviewer: Ok we’ll move on then. What’s something today that you wish that you had when you were a boy?

Interviewee: We all agree that we would enjoy all of the new machines for farming, like tractors, milking machines, and heated farm houses.

Interviewer: That would’ve been helpful wouldn’t it, like instead of plowing the fields by hand you could have something to attach to the back of the tractor. 

Interviewee: Exactly.

Interviewer: Well that’s all the time we have for today, see you next time folks when I sit down with Martin Luther King Jr. Good night.
