This lesson helps students understand aphorisms and figurative language, through a cross examination of Poor Richard's Almanac with current popular culture for societal values and morality of each. Students must make inferences about social trends and values and then compare/contrast what the change or lack of change in these values says about society, generational differences, and the nature of values themselves.
