If you could live in any era, what would it be? Why? I'm really interested in a period of development of North America. I like the era of cowboys, sheriffs, Red Indians, vast prairies, building the transcontinental railroad and so on. I would like to read books by Mayne Reid and Jules Verne when I was a child. I still like them. I'm not sure why I like this era so much. That was really rude and tough time, full of cruelty, violence and injustice. I mean all this situation with the injustice of indigenous inhabitants. There were lots of deaths. People killed each other for nothing with ease. There were no conveniences, no rights, no equality. It was an era of slavery and discriminatory of women. But still, it was a kind of romantic period full of hope, full of ambitions and full of chases for aims and dreams. It was an era of an American dream. I completely understand that it would be maybe one of the worst eras to living considering I'm a girl. However, I prefer to stay a little bit naive and think about that time like about the period focusing on goals and hope.

If you could live in any era, what would it be? Why?

I'm really interested in the period of the development of North America. I like the era of cowboys, sheriffs, Red Indians, vast prairies, building the transcontinental railroad, and so on. I liked to read books by Thomas Mayne Reid and Jules Verne when I was a child. I still like them.

I'm not sure why I like this era so much. It was really a rude and tough time, full of cruelty, violence and injustice. I mean the entire [1] situation with the injustice towards the indigenous inhabitants. There were lots of deaths/There was a lot of death. [1] People killed each other for nothing with ease. There were no conveniences, no rights, no equality. It was an era of slavery and discrimination against women. But still, it was a kind of romantic period full of hope, full of ambitions, and full of chases after aims and dreams. It was an era of the American Dream.

I completely understand that it could have been perhaps one of the worst eras to live in, considering I'm a girl. However, I prefer to remain [1] a little bit naive, and imagine that that time was a period focusing on goals and hope.
