Puritans believed it was by God’s provision of protection that they survived.

The Puritans were strict believers in the Bible and the use of the Bible to specifically instruct them in how to live their lives. They believed that God's hand was in all things and that it was important that they live by God's word or else they were considered sinners. In this passage, the final line shows that the Puritans believed it was determined by God that they were protected from the perils of the wind and sea.

Explanation:

The author's purpose is to "excite... a sense of compassion." In other words, <u>he wants readers to feel sympathy for those who suffered as a consequence of slavery. One way to instigate compassion and sympathy in others is to unveil to them how painful an experience was. </u>By describing how one suffered, the way one felt while going through something, it is possible to have people empathize. Among the options, the one that refers to the way Africans felt while being traded is the last one:

<em>The noise and clamour with which this is attended, and the eagerness visible in the countenances of the buyers, serve not a little to increase the apprehensions of the terrified Africans.</em>

<u>We can imagine, even feel, their fear. The eagerness of those who were buying them, treating them not as human beings but as goods, only contributed to their terror. By reading this, we can't help but feel compassion for them.</u>

Rukmani describes her garden in vivid detail in the story. Why might she do this? What does this tell readers about how she feel
IgorC [24]
Using my common sense and a bit of knowledge in English, I can infer that she feels strongly about her garden and loves it very much. This leads me to believe that she is a loving and caring character. If something is described vividly this generally means that 1) this is a good writer 2) they feel strongly about what they are writing 3) both a good writer and a strong feeling
