: Theme: Social life and entertainment in peasants' life [lives or peasant life]

: Argument: I will argue that no matter that the peasants had a hard life and most of their energy was fucused on survival, they still had time for entertainment and celebrations.
GOOD IDEA. AS YOU PROCEED WORK ON MAKING THIS MORE SPECIFIC.

: Supporting Evidence:
: 1. The description of a day in the stables by Pierre Lean Baptiste Le Grand d'Aussy

: 2. The statement that "On Sundays and holidays, the town's three taverns were always full from the end of the first mass until evening." (F.Y.Besnard)

QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER AS YOU DEVELOP THIS EVIDENCE:
1)WHAT SEASONS ARE DESCRIBED? 2)WHICH OBSERVER WAS IN A BETTER POSITION TO OBSERVE LEISURE TIME? 3)WHAT ENTERTAINMENT WAS APPROVED? CRITICIZED OR ADMONISHED?

: Connection: I will make a connection with the descriptions of the peasants' hardship made by Gerald Cavanaugh and Bonnie G. Smith. OKAY. SMITH ALSO TALKS ABOUT SOME POPULAR FESTIVITY.
