Food is valuable in Elizabethan England, far more so than in the modern world. A flock of 180 sheep is worth more than the avera

ge detached house. The difficulties of transportation mean that the food supply depends heavily on what grows locally and how much surplus is available. It also depends on the season. Harvest is obviously a time of much grain and fruit. Animals are traditionally slaughtered on Martinmas (November 11) if the owner cannot afford to feed them through the winter. Even the availability of fresh fish depends on the season. There is no use in trying to buy fresh turbot in December if you are more than twenty miles from the coast: only in summer is sea fish carried to markets that far inland. –The Time Traveler's Guide to Elizabethan England, Ian Mortimer What is the topic of the paragraph? housing in Elizabethan England transportation in Elizabethan England the food supply in Elizabethan England

the food supply in Elizabethan England

The entire paragraph is about the food supply in Elizabethan England. It describes how food was valuable because it was not always easy to acquire. Travel was more difficult in Elizabethan England than in present day so the food supply was limited to what was available close by. Food options also varied by season. Some due to when certain fruits and vegetables were ale to grow and others due to when the food could be carried to different markets.

The story “Departure” describes a character leaving home, and the passage from “Up the Coolly” describes a character returning h
arsen [322]

The story “Departure” starts talking about George and the departure, but it does not tell the reader where George will go. The author describes each detail of the scenery which causes tension and mystery. <em>“Beyond the last house on Trunion Pike in Winesburg, there is a great stretch of open fields. The fields are owned by farmers who live in town and drive homeward at evening along Trunion Pike…”</em> The story also tells the reader a little bit of George’s past that relates to the places he looks at the moment. Further, in the story the reader learns a little about of George’s adventure, he is leaving a small town to go to a big city <em>“Tom had seen a thousand George Willards go out of their towns to the city. It was a commonplace enough incident with him”. </em>

The Story “Up the Coolly” also uses the description of scenery to build mystery and tension <em>“It all swept back upon Howard in a flood of names and faces and sights and sounds; something sweet and stirring somehow, though it had little of aesthetic charms at the time”</em>. When the main character returns to places, his memory brings him back to old days <em>“Once they passed a little brook singing in a mournfully sweet way its eternal song over its pebbles. It called back to Howard the days when he and Grant, his younger brother, had fished in this little brook for trout…”</em>

Further the reader learns that the main character left his town to become an actor <em>“He had been wonderfully successful, and yet had carried into his success as a dramatic author as well as an actor” </em>and as he approaches his brother’s house memories to come back with pleasure and excitement but also with the memory of how many times he said he would visit and did not.
