Whose life do you think would be more comfortable in ancient Egypt-a merchant’s or a farmer’s? Why?

Guide Questions What is the main idea of “Love and Marriage”? Supporting details? Did the Egyptians valued love? What details support the unstated main idea in “Homes, Adornments, and Games”? How were the lives of the lower-class people different from the lives of wealthy people in ancient Egypt? Examples.

Guide Questions Identify a generalization on P.310. Why do you think it is a generalization?
