Read the following quote from U.S. Congressman Gerry Studds, “If John Cabot were alive today, he would not recognize Georges Ban
k. Instead of a sea swarming with majestic cod, he would find dogfish. Instead of flounder, he would find skates. Instead of a fishermen's dream, he would find a nightmare“. (1991) What do you think he meant by this quote?
He is talking about the aspirations of a death man, John Cabot, and the "good" things he hoped for Georges Bank. He wanted greatness, and the reality was there was not more than a disaster. Nothing had turned the way he expected.
We can notice because of the contrast seen in the words used: He wanted lots and good fishes, (using a metaphor) and got bad and disastrous ones.
He is trying to find things that interest him, he isn't trying to find things that isn't going to interest him. ( to be honest I don't know hope this helps )
Absolute monarchy is a system where the monarch, which is chosen based on the dynasty of the current family in power, has complete and total control. In other words, their power is absolute, hence the name.
