English

These texts talks about the life experiences of American politician and retired general of the United States Army, Colin Powell. However, they do so in very different ways. In the case of <em>It Worked For Me</em>, Powell himself tells us about the jobs that he had when he was a teenager. Powell focuses on the relationship that he was able to develop with the Jewish shopkeepers he worked for. He tells us that this led to a meaningful friendship and even to his learning some Yiddish.

On the other hand, the text <em>Colin Powell: Military Leader </em>describes Powell's life from a third-person perspective. The author also talks about Powell's jobs as a teenager. However, he focuses on the impact that such work had on Powell's private life. The author discusses how Powell's normal teenage life was affected and benefitted by this experience. The different treatment of the subject by each text is a consequence of the ideas that each text wants to reflect. While the first text focuses on Powell's connection with a different culture, the second text highlights the impact that such early work had on Powell's character and future.

What does the mayflower compact say?
Aneli [31]
The Mayflower Compact is a written agreement composed by a consensus of the new Settlers arriving at New Plymouth in November of 1620. They had traveled across the ocean on the ship Mayflower which was anchored in what is now Provincetown Harbor near Cape Cod, Massachusetts. The Mayflower Compact was drawn up with fair and equal laws, for the general good of the settlement and with the will of the majority. The Mayflower’s passengers knew that the New World’s earlier settlers failed due to a lack of government. They hashed out the content and eventually composed the Compact for the sake of their own survival.
The original document is said to have been lost, but the writings of William Bradford’s journal Of Plymouth Plantation and in Edward Winslow’s Mourt’s Relation: A Journal of the Pilgrims at Plymouth are in agreement and accepted as accurate. The Mayflower Compact reads:

<span>"In the name of God, Amen. We, whose names are underwritten, the Loyal Subjects of our dread Sovereign Lord, King James, by the Grace of God, of England, France and Ireland, King, Defender of the Faith, e&. Having undertaken for the Glory of God, and Advancement of the Christian Faith, and the Honour of our King and Country, a voyage to plant the first colony in the northern parts of Virginia; do by these presents, solemnly and mutually in the Presence of God and one of another, covenant and combine ourselves together into a civil Body Politick, for our better Ordering and Preservation, and Furtherance of the Ends aforesaid; And by Virtue hereof to enact, constitute, and frame, such just and equal Laws, Ordinances, Acts, Constitutions and Offices, from time to time, as shall be thought most meet and convenient for the General good of the Colony; unto which we promise all due submission and obedience. In Witness whereof we have hereunto subscribed our names at Cape Cod the eleventh of November, in the Reign of our Sovereign Lord, King James of England, France and Ireland, the eighteenth, and of Scotland the fifty-fourth. Anno Domini, 1620." </span>
