The Importance Of Living In The New World

“When he delivered his oration on brevity to the class, he leaned forward over his desk, grasped his coast lapels in his hands, and, in a husky, conspiratorial voice, said, “Rule Seventeen. Omit needless words! Omit needless words! Omit needless words!” (Strunk & White, 2000, xv). Strunk provides an image for the most important aspect of his book. The repetition of this rule throughout the entire book, proves not only the importance of it to Professor Strunk, but to writing as a whole. The author’s advocate trimming

European colonization changed the economy, culture, and history in general, therefore making it a hugely influential event. Not only did it change Europe, but it completely changed the New World.

1. What fundamental factors drew the Europeans to the exploration, conquest, and colonization of the New World? What was the impact on the Indians, Europeans, and Africans when each of their previously separate worlds “collided” with one another? What caused the shift from indentured servant to African slaves as the dominant labor force in the southern colonies?

The development of the New World relied upon the buying and trading of slaves, as African Americans were critical labor force for plantations and construction crews that lead to the development of the Americas. During the course of slavery, ship Captains, Plantation owners and slaves composed journals of there their trips, tribulations and daily life. The stories and details vary, depending on who is recounting the tails, but one constant found throughout is that the poor treatment of slaves was evident. Even in journals written by people like Captain Phillips, who wrote about how he made his lively hood off of selling and buying African Americans, the inhuman treatment could be seen even though he had no intention of writing about it. On the other hand there are journals from African slaves, such as Harriet Jacobs, that served the purpose to detail the difficulties they faced and their harsh treatment rather than how they made money for their owners. No matter which stories one reads the sense of African slaves being treated inhumanly and like products in a store for the economic growth and profit for private traders can be seen.

Just like any other power there is always a better power than the others. Any power has advantages and disadvantages. The flying power takes your energy just like sprinting does, you can carry as much you can normally carry and your top speed is just 40 mph, in the other hand invisibility will turn you invisible with your clothes and anything you can fit inside and it takes the same energy as walking. Flying can be more useful than the power of invisibility.

In the early Americas there was remarkable exploration from European explorers. This had all started with the Spanish and their conquests in the south, in Mexico. This would lead to many others to pounce on the opportunities for land and treasures, such as gold and silver. Many European powers came to the New World in order to colonize and to leach off the untapped resources. The conquest for prosperity was to begin with this.

Gas is high, and if I had the privilege of choosing between the powers of invisibility or being able to fly, I would pick flight every time. From my point of view, flying is simply more convenient, time saving, and efficient than just being able to turn invisible. Assuming i still would have to live my normal life in conjunction with my ability to fly, i would save so much mileage on a daily basis just from flying to and fro to work. There are many more benefits as well.

Christopher Columbus attempt to find a quick route to Asia resulted in a failure of epic proportions: Columbus failed to find Asia and, instead, began one of the longest and most prolific examples of cultural repression in history. Columbus, along with those who followed him to the ‘New World’ brought with them a fundamental belief in cultural superiority that defined the European invasion and infestation. These attitudes had a significant and long-term impact on the native cultures and provided the Europeans with justification for the position of power of which they grabbed hold. The Europeans, however, owe the Native Americans a great debt of gratitude: without the Native Americans, Europeans would have either starved or left for lack of

Fuku means “a curse or a doom of some kind; specifically the Curse and the Doom of the New World” (Diaz, 1). The significance fuku had in the Dominican history and beliefs were that the name was placed on the people that did harm to the Dominican Republic. For example, “The Admiral’s very name has become synonymous with both kinds of fuku, little and large; to say his name aloud or even to hear it is to invite calamity on the heads of you and yours” (Diaz, 1). Also, the dictator Trujillo was considered a powerful fuku, if anyone would have utter his name in vain one would have been kick out of sea. Fuku is believed to have been unleashed by the arrival of Europeans on Hispaniola.

Impressions are perhaps the only valuable information one has to tackle the unknown. Much like To understand the Genesis of stereotypes one must first understand what stereotypes are. In Celluloids Indians Jacquelyn Kilpatrick describes stereotypes as such, “‘ [s] tereotypes are evaluative concepts about status and roles and as such are central to interpreting and evaluating social groups including one’s own.”’ (xvi) Kilpatrick explores “the social, ideological and political construction”(xvi) of stereotypes in literature, film and politics. Literature has been around for centuries but film making are an adequately new invention, however stereotypes within them have their origins centuries before. The interpretation of film and literature is according to perspective when there’s only one perspective what is one to believe?

In William Zinsser’s, “Simplicity and Style”, simplicity is the main topic of discussion as well as style, unnecessary words can be a distraction to the reader in your writing and which makes your writing less clear than what you had envisioned in your head. Every sentence you write should be at it most fundamental state and should serve as a function to the development of your writing. Although it is hard to create clutter free sentences, when we are mostly predisposed to adding excessive ornamentation to our writing that takes away from our authenticity and causes disruption in the readers thought process. Writing is simply hard and everyone should work on writing clear sentences that is organic to the build of your writing and style while

The political, economic, and social reasons for European exploration and colonization of the New World

Slaves faced many challenges when they arrived to the New. World. My travel across the land to the Atlantic would consist of me being curious, afraid and angry. I would be curious because I would be eager to know where I am traveling to and what they are about to do with or to me. I would also feel afraid because I am with a group of strangers and have left my belongings including my family. I would be angry because I am not sure of what's happening and everything that I had has been taken from me right before my eyes.

Moreover, it would be unnecessary to ride in buses, cars or planes if you had the power of flight, enabling you to save money, as you can arrive to your desired destination without spending a dime. Additionally, you arrive at your destination rather quickly as well, saving time. In fact, “invisibility is only good in two cases: It’s useful in getting away; it’s useful in approaching… therefore, useful in killing”, as stated from The Invisible Man (Wells), invisibility, is only useful for immoral acts. Therefore, why wait and sneak on a plane with invisibility, when you can take off to anywhere of your heart’s desire? Logically and rationally, flight is truly the better option.

Nuovomondomeans “New wolrd” in Italian, but its English title, Golden Door, has been taken from Emma Lazarus poem about the Statue of Liberty. This is in fact an immigrants’ tale from Sicily to Ellis Island at the turn of the 20th century.
