Chapter 15
In Chapter 15 Brende really starts to become friends with Wilbur. As he tries threshing again all the men begin to ask him questions about life outside the Amish community. They ask him about Boston and New York, about prices of houses, etc. By the end of the day he calculates that the men only really worked a little over 4 hours for the day. So even though it took all day, only ½ of the day was devoted to work. I wonder how long the average person actually works in an office job. After they take a lunch break, talk on the phone, and talk to co-workers I bet they only end up working a half a day too!

The time you spend in the work place vs. the time you do actual work can be very different. For me let’s say I plan on studying x amount of hours and by the time I actually get down to it and start being productive I probably study for half of the time I allotted.
Interesting. They only work four hours a day. That makes me feel a little better. Those people are just as lazy as we are.
