The reader will feel the tension immeditaely after just starting to read, allowing questions and tension to form so the reader will question about what happens before the action. By the way, in media res is when the author starts the story in the middle instead of the beginning.

Answer: D. The reader is meant to immediately worry how the story will turn out for the main character.

Explanation:

In medias res is a Latin expression that means “in the midst of things,” and it means starting a story from the middle instead of the beginning. Readers are therefore immediately compelled to find some answers about the preceding action as well as the following results. The purpose of this literary device is to create suspense.

In at least 150 words, describe the literary and historical importance of Bradford’s Of Plymouth Plantation.
anygoal [31]

Of Plymouth Plantation is significant because it chronicles facts about the establishment of the Pilgrim Church in England, the group who left for Holland and eventually the trip on the Mayflower to the New World on November 11, 1620, and the early days of colonial America. Bradford was governor of the colony for 33 years. Among many things he writes about, maybe the most famous is the first Thanksgiving.


It is also significant because it is the most lucidly reliable account of those early days in American history. One of the lessons about the Puritans in reference to their common beliefs or personalities is that they came to the New World seeking religious freedom. Bradford's work draws on many Biblical parallels. They wanted to "purify" (hence the name "Puritans") the Church of England, believing that the Protestant Reformation did not go far enough in attempting this. It also seems that their fervor for this purification in the new community in the new world eventually declined; it was said that Bradford wrote some of this text with a nostalgia, implying that their focus on their role as religious crusaders/founders of a new world gave way to expansion and maybe more focus on other aspects of life.

Write a report on your team and the importance of building working relationships with colleagues
wlad13 [49]
Human beings are naturally social creatures – we crave friendship and positive interactions, just as we do food and water. So it makes sense that the better our relationships are at work, the happier and more productive we're going to be.
Good working relationships give us several other benefits: our work is more enjoyable when we have good relationships with those around us. Also, people are more likely to go along with changes that we want to implement, and we're more innovative and creative.

What's more, good relationships give us freedom: instead of spending time and energy overcoming the problems associated with negative relationships, we can, instead, focus on opportunities.
