4) How did it help the people?? People back then, dug holes in the ground, and put straw or wood around it with salt on the food to perserve it, and then put ice or snow over the food to keep it cold.

 * PARAGRAPH:**

The most important inventor of the ninetinth century was John Gorrie. John Gorrie invented the refrigerator, which was able to perserve food. This appliance was very important because it allowed people to put their food in the appliance, other than putting their food in their dug out hole. He was an important because this invention is still being to this very day. It's an invention that will still be used for time to come, until someother inventor comes up with something else that will perserve food easier or something. John Gorrie's invention has helped people, not because his invention can keep food cold, but it allows people to perserve food right inside their house. This was good, because the people back then wouldn't have to walk outside to their "other" refrigerator in stormy or hot weather. If I was a person back in the nineteenth century, I would admire John Gorrie, because, he made an invention that would help me a lot, not because he would make something that made food cold, but because it would make my whole life sooo much eaiser. I wouldn't have to go outside just to get food from my "refrigerator". Having a refrigerator makes your life


 * Interview:**


 * Ben**: Hello Mr. Gorrie, how are you today?


 * Gorrie**: I'm fine thanks, and how about your self?


 * Ben**: Fine thanks. So, let me get to the piont, why do you think that you should be called Mr. Electric?


 * Gorrie**: Well, I should be called Mr. Electric, because I invented something that helps p lots of people. It's something that made less stress for those who weren't able to dig holes. The refigerator made life easier for elder people. I mean, it would people very difficult for elder people to dig a hole, just to put food in, and also having to get snow or ice to put around it.


 * Ben**: I see your point, but what about the light, lots of people use that to, how can you go against that?


 * Gorrie**: I kenw that was going to come up sooner or later. That is a challenge, but I think that the light is better for us, and has helped us. Before the light, we had gas lights, but they would cause fires. I mean, why dont you keep a bucket of water near the gas light, or put the light on top of stand, and then put the stand in the water. It would cause less fires, and people would feel safer.


 * Ben**: I see your point, well thanks for explanation Mr. Gorrie


 * Gorrie**: It was my pleasure.
