Besides silk, the Chinese also exported (sold) teas, salt, sugar, porcelain, and spices. Most of what was traded was expensive luxury goods. This was because it was a long trip and merchants didn't have a lot of room for goods. They imported, or bought, goods like cotton, ivory, wool, gold, and silver.
U.S. military officials said that after the raid U.S. forces took the body of bin Laden to Afghanistan for identification, then buried it at sea within 24 hours of his death in accordance with Islamic tradition. Al-Qaeda confirmed the death on May 6 with posts made on militant websites, vowing to avenge the killing.
Answer:
The Africans’ arrival would not only change the course of Virginia history but the course of what would become the United States of America (See Figure 3-1). There were both men and women in this first group of Africans. Three or four days later, a second ship arrived. One additional African woman disembarked in Virginia. (Travels and Works of Captain John Smith [1910] 1967:541 as cited in Russell [1913] 1969:22 ftn.21).
The first Africans to arrive in Jamestown were welcome additions to the labor force. They were needed for the tasks of opening the wilderness, clearing land, and building settlements around the Chesapeake Bay. The first Africans, as few as they were, fulfilled a sorely needed and relatively empty labor niche in Virginia society. They and the African immigrants that followed also served another equally important purpose. Under the head-right system, they enabled the growth of a new landowning middle class located socially between the gentleman who had been granted the Virginia Company land by the Crown and the laboring class of indentured servants and slaves who worked the colony’s expanding tobacco lands (See Figure 3-2).
Nine months after the arrival of the first Africans, the Census of March 1620 listed 892 English colonists living in Virginia, males outnumbering females, seven to one. Also present were 32 Africans, 15 men and 17 women, a more equal sex distribution that lent it to family formation.

Answer:
Poe presents a more poetic writing and full of adjectives, in addition to the presentation of narration in first person. Chopin, on the other hand, presents a more direct and objective writing, with full exposure of facts and narration in a third person.
Explanation:
While reading the passage written by Poe, we can see that the author was adept at using first-person narration, where the narrator is the main character of the story. In addition, Poe's writing is quite poetic, subjunctive, full of meanings and metaphors, with a strong appeal to sentimentality and full of adjectives.
The reading of the excerpt written by Chopin, presents characteristics totally different from those found in the Poe excerpt. Chopin is a fan of fast, incisive and objective writing, for this reason, we fail to notice the recurrent use of adjectives and metaphors, since the author prefers to establish a clearer and less verbose writing.
