I think Mr. Bradford paints a rather rosy picture that is perhaps only a bit true. I suspect life was hard and the new country life quite strange. It took a strong forbearance for the women especially to adapt to the varying climates, crude living quarters, and usually harder work than in England. The Indians reportedly did welcome the strangers at first but did in time become leery of these new people - some lied to the Indians and did not deserve their welcome, so there were clashes in time. I do not think the early colonies were very successful. Later colonists learned from the mistakes of the first.
<span>Assuming that this is referring to the same list of options that was posted before with this question, <span>the correct response would be that while some were free (usually in the North), most were enslaved under white colonists in the South.</span></span>
Answer:
raw materials and markets for their industrial goods.
To better tell a story or emphasize a point, authors sometimes use allusions that involve references to myths, classical, or traditional texts. Mythology, classic literature, and traditional literature are all types of literary genres. Allusions are an important part of understanding literature because they give us a deeper understanding of an author’s message. An author can skillfully draw upon allusions to give a story, poem, play, or other literary form more meaning or to provide clues about an author’s message.
You’re probably familiar with Greek and Roman myths. The Greeks and Romans had many gods and goddesses in common, but the Roman name often differed from the Greek name. Gods and goddesses from Roman and Greek mythology are often alluded to in other pieces of literature. For this reason, it’s nice to know about Roman and Greek mythology as you read more difficult texts in high school.
Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet, for example, is chock full of allusions to gods and goddesses. For example, in Act I, Scene 4, Mercutio tells Romeo to “Take Cupid’s wings and fly higher than the average man.” And Romeo responds with “His (meaning Cupid’s) arrow has pierced me too deeply, so I can’t fly high with his cheerful feathers.” In Roman mythology, Cupid is the god of desire, affection, and love. Even though Mercutio has encouraged Romeo to dance like a man in love—like the winged Cupid—Romeo responds that he can't because he’s so much in love that it's weighing him down and making him unhappy.
