Explorer or Settler?

Today we talked about the positive and negative aspects of being an explorer and a settler. If you had a choice, which would you be and why?

In your comments, begin with "I would prefer to be an explorer because..." or "I would prefer to be a settler because..."

  10. I would prefer being an explorer because I would like to know different places, people, and cultures. I am a bit adventurous and I am used to them because I have experience a lot while traveling with my parents.

  11. i would prefer to be an settler because when you're out wondering somewhere you never know what is going to happen. for example, a gang of robbers decide to rob you,so they do. you have nothing you're out n the middle of nowhere and you just lost your most precious possessions.

  12. I would prefer to be a settler because I would have more time to spend with my friends and my family. I would have lots of stuff in my house. I would stay in one place. I would have a wife, one or more kids, and a good job.

    2. I would prefer to be a settler because you get to have a family, possessions, and a home. Also you would be able to have land. You would also know your way around. You wouldn't be a complete stranger either so you would know the normal price for things and the local people would not be able to rip you off. Another reason why I would want to be a settler would be because I would know the language and the customs.

  14. I would prefer to be an explorer because I could visit other places and know about their culture, and what people do for living. You could also prevent to be an a war if you are visiting other places. You could study and find things while you are exploring, and that's why I prefer to be an explorer.

  19. I would prefer to be a settler because I can stay with my family and friends unlike explorers, were there always traveling around leaving loved ones behind. Another reason in which I would choose to be a settler is that you can keep many of your belongings, such as beds, big ovens, refrigerators, and other house supplies that explorers can't take. When your an explorers you have no idea where you are, who to trust, and things like that. When your a settler you know who to trust, where to go, and things of that sort.
