3/6 Velcro is an easy way to hold things together in replacement of laces, hooks, and other things like that.The use of loops and hooks decreases because of the cropping of velcro. Velcro is made up of small loops and hooks that hold things for a long time.

3/4 The feudal system is a way in which the wealthier people get land and the poor people don't.

3/1 A manor is a unit of land originally a feudal lordship consisting of a lords demesne and lands rented to tenants. Its significance is that they would let people have or borrow land but with the lords permission.

2/28 The feudal system is similar to Americas current social hierarchy because the people who have more money and are like really wealthy can have whatever they want and just do what they want. The kings were like the rich people today they had control over many land and people, they did whatever they wanted to to do and were well educated. Lords and lesser lords are like the people who have money but aren't as wealthy as the other people who are like kings.
