GIVE ME LIBERTY
The Struggle for Self-Government in Virginia
Thomas J. Wertenbaker

Chapter I: The Cornerstone of Liberty
Three little vessels—the Susan Constant, the Godspeed, and the Discovery—left England in December, 1606, under the command of Captain Christopher Newport, to found a colony on the distant shores of Virginia. Two decades earlier Sir Walter Raleigh had sent out a group of settlers to what is now North Carolina, and they had disappeared mysteriously. What had happened to them? men asked. Had they been killed by the Indians? Had they fallen victims to disease? Had they starved? Those who shared in this new venture must have wondered if a like fate awaited them in this strange new land.

But their spirits rose when they entered Chesapeake Bay. Landing parties were delighted with the "fair meddowes ... full of flowers of divers kinds and colors," the "goodly tall trees," and the streams of fresh water. It was a smiling country which seemed to bid them welcome. But when they entered the mouth of a broad river, which they called the James in honor of their King, and made their way up into the country, new doubts must have assailed them. They knew that savages lived in the dense forests which lined both banks; might not strange wild beasts live there also? Might there not be fatal diseases unknown in Europe?

Review the end of the first paragraph in the "Give Me Liberty" excerpt. What is the main point of the questions at the end of the paragraph?

The fate of early settlers was uncertain.
The new settlers had much to fear.
The new settlers had less to fear than the earlier ones.
The new colony was not in North Carolina.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The fate of early settlers was uncertain.

Explanation:

The sequence of questions presented at the end of the first paragraph presented in the question above, aims to show that there are many doubts about the fate of the first settlers. That's because that fate was uncertain, as many bad things could happen in the new world. The colonists were not sure whether they would succeed or even survive in the new world, as many colonists had failed, even if there were examples of successful colonists. The fate was uncertain as the colonists could be successful but could be attacked, starved or infected and the questions at the end of the paragraph show these situations that could or could not happen.

Notice how the lighting changes during the course of the text. Cite evidence to show how the lighting has changed. How does this change in imagery reflect the changing character of Mary

Answers

Answer:

The light is mirrored in Mary's persona.

Explanation:

Both lamps in the room are "alight" at the start of the short passage. The lights in the grocery store are still turned on. It's dark outside when the officers arrive to investigate, and Mary catches "the flash of a torch through a chink in the curtain."

The light is mirrored in Mary's persona. At first, she appears content and happy, as signified by the lamps being lit. Her spirit darkens after she murders her husband, and it darkens much more when she orders the officers to consume the murder weapon.

Read the passage from “Cruel Tribute.”

Then the youths and maidens ran to Theseus and kissed his hands and feet, and thanked him for his great deed; and, as it was already growing dark, Theseus bade them follow him while he wound up the silken thread which was to lead them out of the Labyrinth. Through a thousand rooms and courts and winding ways they went, and at midnight they came to the outer door and saw the city lying in the moonlight before them; and, only a little way off, was the seashore where the black ship was moored which had brought them to Crete. The door was wide open, and beside it stood Ariadne waiting for them.

"The wind is fair, the sea is smooth, and the sailors are ready," she whispered; and she took the arm of Theseus, and all went together through the silent streets to the ship.

Excerpt from "The Spider and the Fly" by Mary Howitt: ( " Sweet creature!" said the spider, You're witty and you're wise! How handsome are your gauzy wings, how brilliant are your eyes! I have a little looking - glass upon my palor shelf, If you steo in one moment, dear, you shall behold yourself.") Review the poem closely. Consider why hyperbole is being used and how it affects your experience of the poem. How does the hyperbole in the stanza affect the mood of the poem? Will Mark Brainliest. Only answer if you understand what hyperbole means please. Thank you so very much.​

Answers

First off, let us start off with what hyperbole means.

Hyperbole means "exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally:"

If we look at the given excerpt, we can see that many sentences are indeed exaggerated. For example, "how brilliant are your eyes!" Obviously, that cannot be taken literally since no one's eyes are "brilliant".

Another example is, "How handsome are your gauzy wings". This sentence is another "exaggerated" statement that cannot be taken literally.

The hyperbole affects the mood of the poem by making the excerpt very happy and it seems like whoever is talking is complimenting the other very well. It sets the "happy" mood to the story and brings out the best of each character through exaggerated compliments.

Hope this helps and if it does, don't be afraid to give my answer a "Thanks" and maybe a Brainliest if it's correct?  

The excerpt is made exceedingly pleasant by the exaggeration, which also gives the impression that the speaker is admiring the other person very highly.

What is hyperbole?

Hyperbole is the overuse of exaggeration to emphasize a point or make a joke. It shouldn't be interpreted literally. Instead, it's meant to emphasize a point and let the reader comprehend how intensely the writer felt at that very moment.

Exaggerated compliments are used to highlight the best qualities of each character and set the "happy" tone for the story.

Hyperbole is the exaggerated statements or claims not considered as literally, "how brilliant are your eyes!" is a hyperbole.

Therefore, the impression that the speaker is admiring the other person very highly, it sets "happy" mood to the story.

write a story which ends with " and yet he did it"





Answers

After years of wanting to raise a pet kitten, my parents finally allowed me to have one. I was extremely excited and could barely contain my happiness when we went to the animal shelter. However my dad put a specific condition for me to raise the cat "he won't be able to roam around the house," he said. Because of this condition, we had to empty the last room in the house, which would be the place where the kitten would stay. There we spread cat towers, footrests, scrapers, litter box and everything the cat could need to have a happy life.

When we arrived at the shelter, I carefully observed each cat present in the place and chose a black kitten that was meowing a lot. I think he wanted to get my attention and he did it. The kitten was full of energy and I believed it would be simple to take care of him. However, I was completely wrong.

The kitten was extremely smart and managed to escape the room prepared for him at all times. We couldn't keep him there, because he found a way to escape. Although this is a very funny situation, we tried to seal all the ways out and were overcome by fatigue. Our last attempt was to reduce the empty space under the door. We thought that my father would complain too much about the situation and that the cat would not be able to conquer him, but we were wrong again. My dad, who had no fondness for cats, was completely blown away by our kitten's cleverness, we thought he wouldn't allow the cat to stay in the house, but yet he did it.
