Answer:

This is because the land of the early inhabitants were taken by force.

Explanation:

Christopher Columbus was an Italian explorer and colonizer. He took his ships called the Nina, the Pinta and the Santa Maria on a voyage to Asia. There were some apprehensions along the journey and he decided to stop at the next available land.

The next available land was America and he met people there which were the main inhabitants. He however claimed to discover America and he forcefully took land from the inhabitants and took control of them.

Answer:

Because America existed long before Columbus arrived. When him and their ships landed here, they did not discover a land, they took it. They stole their gold, raped their women and eventually destroyed all of the original culture, imposing the european way of living.

In mythology, a phoenix is an immortal bird that represents renewal. It sets its nest on fire every

Answer and Explanation:

Phoenix can be compared to the bird Phoenix in Egyptian mythology, which burns itself and changes into ashes and again recreates new life.

In every difficulty, Phoenix seems to be losing hope such as burning of Phoenix bird into ashes and when she gets victory over the obstacles, she seems to be regaining her hope such as recreation of life of Phoenix from ashes.

Phoenix Jackson, as a character, can be seen as the epitome of what the phoenix symbolizes which are hope, security, and a promise for the futur and Her journey is reminiscent of the legend of the phoenix; she goes through many changes and overcomes the obstacles that await her, she sometimes behaves in a way we would equate with an animal, and even in her appearance we can find similarites.

The red rag holding her hair back..... as well as the hair itself, which is said to be golden in color.
