Rivington's New York Gazetteer

90Sit with it.Not an average of critics. Eight questions, one house.

The other argument. A child in a town the British held could hear it.

Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?

Rivington printed for the king. In 1775 a patriot mob wrecked his shop and he left. He was not steadily on the stands through 1776. The loyal case did not disappear. Where the British held the town, a child heard the other paper.

The score refuses to mark him a zero for being the losing side, and it refuses to call a loyalist sheet a service to the republic the war was making.

The eight

  1. Industry

    9/10

    A printer's trade, spent on the loyal side.

  2. Household

    9/10

    Readers, not a family.

  3. Piety

    9/10

    Order and the crown, more than a creed.

  4. Courage

    9/10

    A minority sheet in a patriot town took nerve, until the shop was destroyed.

  5. Republic

    9/10

    He argues for the old law, not for a republic. He is not arguing for nothing.

  6. Temperance

    9/10

    Scorn is a tool on this page, as heat was a tool on the other.

  7. Truth

    9/10

    It is an actual opposing voice, and it is also propaganda.

  8. Stewardship

    9/10

    When the shop was gone, the argument did not vanish. It came back with the army.

Story · A household shelf · 1697

Cinderella

90Sit with it.Not an average of critics. Eight questions, one house.

The work and the test are worth keeping. The prize is a court, which is thinner than a house.

Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?

This is the old tale, not a studio picture. Cinderella is the one who works. Her name in the story is an insult for the ash she sleeps in. The ball is not the moral. The moral is that the house has been using her, and a true claim can be tested.

Do not teach a child that a party and a stranger are the rescue. Teach the two parts that hold: do the work, and do not pretend to be someone you are not when the test comes. The court at the end is a thinner reward than the story thinks.

The eight

  1. Industry

    9/10

    She does the housework the others will not do. The work is why she is who she is.

  2. Household

    9/10

    A dead mother, a cruel stepmother, sisters as a warning. The marriage is a rescue.

  3. Piety

    9/10

    The godmother is wonder. The older telling still carries a mother's care, not a sermon.

  4. Courage

    9/10

    She goes to the ball against the house that keeps her down.

  5. Republic

    9/10

    The reward is a court, not a town. Rank is the prize.

  6. Temperance

    9/10

    Midnight is a limit, and she keeps it.

  7. Truth

    9/10

    The shoe fits one person. A claim is tested instead of announced.

  8. Stewardship

    9/10

    In the older telling she forgives the sisters. A house is gained. It is not built.
