Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World.

If you walked down Beekman Street in New York in the 1750s, you would come to a general store owned by Gerard Beekman—his family gave the street its name. The products on his shelves showed many of the ways sugar was linking the world. Beekman and merchants like him shipped flour, bread, corn, salted beef, and wood to the Caribbean. They brought back sugar, rum, molasses, limes, cocoa, and ginger. Simple enough; but this trade up and down the Atlantic coast was part of a much larger world system. Textbooks talk about the Triangle Trade: Ships set out from Europe carrying fabrics, clothes, and simple manufactured goods to Africa, where they sold their cargoes and bought people. The enslaved people were shipped across the Atlantic to the islands, where they were sold for sugar. Then the ships brought sugar to North America, to be sold or turned into rum—which the captains brought back to Europe. But that neat triangle—already more of a rectangle—is completely misleading. Beekman's trade, for example, could cut out Europe entirely. British colonists' ships set out directly from New York and New England carrying the food and timber that the islands needed, trading them for sugar, which the merchants brought back up the coast. Then the colonists traded their sugar for English fabrics, clothes, and simple manufactured goods, or they took their rum directly to Africa to buy slaves—to sell to the sugar islands. English, North American, French, and Dutch ships competed to supply the Caribbean plantations and buy their sugar. And even all these boats filling the waters of the Atlantic were but one part of an even larger system of world trade. Africans who sold other Africans as slaves insisted on being paid in fabrics from India. Indeed, historians have discovered that some 35 percent of the cargo typically taken from Europe to Africa originally came from India. What could the Europeans use to buy Indian cloth? The Spanish shipped silver from the mines of Bolivia to Manila in the Philippines, and bought Asian products there. Any silver that English or French pirates could steal from the Spanish was also ideal for buying Asian cloth. So to get the fabrics that would buy the slaves that could be sold for sugar for the English to put into their tea, the Spanish shipped silver to the Philippines, and the French, English, and Dutch sailed east to India. What we call a triangle was really as round as the globe.

Explanation:

In “Lather and Nothing Else,” the barber faces the challenge of shaving the enemy, a cruel captain.

At first, he reflects on all the terrible things the captain has done. Then, he explains his internal conflict over whether to kill the captain when he has a chance.

However, he does not believe in murder.

In addition, he takes great pride in his work.

In the end, he controls his emotions and lets the captain live.

Certainly, overcoming his own emotions is his greatest challenge.

"Lather and Nothing Else" is a story by Hernando Tellez.

The story is about a revolutionary barber who has a customer called captain Torres. Captain Torres killed the barber's fellow revolutionaries in trying to suppress revolutionaries.

When captain Torres went to have a shave from the barber, the barber had an internal conflict of whether to revenge by killing the captain or not for all the terrible things the captain has done. But in the end, the barber controlled his emotions and let the captain live.

The passage is completed with conjunctive adverbs
