Robinson Voyage Thesis
For the last two weeks in class we have touched upon the topic of colonizing.we come to this topic
point by reading four different text "to the virginian voyage ","robinson crusoe","the white man,s
burden", and "the sacred mission of civilization". So far we have been asked to pick one of the
following text of class to concentrate on and to answer three questions that was given to us. In
which i pick "to the virginian voyage" by michael drayton to focus on. The questions given was
1.)"how do colonizers see themselves?" , 2.)" how do the colonizer see their mission in colonizing
the new world?", 3.)"how do colonizers think that the colonized see them?". So i belive that this
poem is most fitted to answer those questions. The first question ... Show more content on

To answer this the author told readers that the colonizers believes that the land would be "perfect",
so they are going to claim it. For example in the fourth stanza it states "to get the peale and gold" ro
in other words its saying they want to win the prizes/resources of the new land. And the next part
after this it says "where nature hath in store fowle, venison, and fish and the fruitfull'st soyle... Three
harvests more all greater than you wish" which is saying that they belive that there's going to be
more food and good weather for harvest. Another example to show that the colonizer believed it was
going to be a perfect land was in stanza nine it's "where as the lushious smell of that delicious land ,
above the seas that flowers,the cleere wind throwes,your hearts to swell approaching the deare
stand." to sum that up he believes that the land will have nice weather and beautiful land fulled with
flower. And with all of this they belive once they get there its all theirs, which leads us to the third
question. Third question that was given to us was "how do the colonizers think that the colonized
see them?". I claimed that the colonized are not there but the people from their old country are. I
claim this because they think no one is there at all. For example "whose reading shall inflame men

The Voyage Of John Cabot
In 1497, King Henry VII granted John Cabot to sail a voyage to find a route to Asia. Our crew
consisted of 18 men. We sailed for awhile, with small food rations for each of us. Cabot was
barbarous to us. He made us work, while he did not make any such effort to assist us on the ship. He
was a dreadful captain and should not have been chosen for the voyage. John did not bring enough
food on board, so we eventually ran out. We informed him many times, concerned about the lack of
food, but he did not bother to turn around, or do anything for our situation. He kept food for himself
and ate and drank, without sharing any of it with the crew. We pleaded for him to turn back. Our

The Crusades damaged this system as Kings grew power due to a large number of noblemen dying
which then impacted the system of work for protection. Due to this instead of the peasants helping
their lords for protection, they gave their help to the king for security. This was when the Feudal
system began to weaken. The king also began to bring taxes into medieval Europe and developed
expediential by combining with other countries. He promised to his people that he would defend
them by keeping burgles and thugs off the trading routes. The serfs who were at the bottom of the
feudal system escaped or was able to buy their independence. You were not able to change classes
before the crusades. If you were a rich peasant you would not change. Whatever you were born you
would die as they were very harsh on the configuration of society. The crusades had changed that,
now they were allowed to make a new class which was the middle class, and that class was the
biggest over all. Where the serfs or the peasants would go to have a healthier life. That meant that
the peasants and serfs didn't work all day every day. They were able to trade their belongings and
produce money. Now the serfs are extinct but there are still the three classes in

degree would be used by him for a short amount of time . According to Biography.com Jules went
on to reside in Paris, and during his residence there he put very little focus on law and more interest

The Voyage of Christopher Columbus
American History I 07/08/05 Christopher Columbus' Voyage to North America Spanish exploration
first began with a series of revolutions. First, the Commercial Revolution generated economic
stability. Second, the Intellectual Revolution generated interest in the Earth's composition and the
pursuit of exploration. Europe then called for a political revolution to end the disorganized and
disorderly rule of its government. This revolution returned order and stability to the government and

Afterwards, Columbus then went to Lisbon, Spain a year later where he would propose the voyage
to King Ferdinand of Aragon and Queen Isabella of Castile. When Columbus made a friend in
Father Perez, it was a turning point for him. He was able to gain support from converts who believed
in his cause. Ferdinand and Isabella were harder to convince, however. They found little interest in
Columbus' curiosity as they were preoccupied with defending themselves against the Moors. Later
in 1491, Columbus again appears before Ferdinand and Isabella "who apparently liked and
respected the determined seaman" (38) 1. Although they had admiration for Columbus, his plans for
voyage were again rejected, partially because of his request to titles and riches. It seems that
Columbus gave but scant and unsatisfactory information to the commission, probably through fear
that his ideas might be improperly made use of and he be robbed of the glory and advantages that he
expected to derive from his project (2) 2. But Columbus was not yet discouraged, for "he was a
gentleman of great force and spirit naturally inclined to undertake worthy deeds and signal
enterprises " (21) 3. 1492 was a successful year for the Spanish. On January 2, Grenada
surrendered which freed Spain of the foreign power that occupied the city for seven centuries (35) 1.

Bone Voyage Summary
Stanley Rhine's Bone Voyage
The book Bone Voyage by Stanley Rhine describes, in stunning detail, the work of forensic
anthropologists. The author works for the New Mexico Office of Medical Investigations. The OMI
is in charge of investigating any death in New Mexico that is sudden, unnatural, untimely,
unattended, or suspicious deaths. They work together with multiple agencies in many different
jurisdictions. Bone Voyage gives a lifelike, almost sickly, reality to the important jobs dealt to
forensic anthropologists.
The field of forensic anthropology is relatively young, with roots in the 1960's and 1970's. Its
popularity continues to grow today, with TV shows like "Bones" and novels like "Coroner at Large."
The work of a forensic anthropologist is important in a historical and medicolegal context. Without
the study of bones and death, lots of history would be lost forever, and murders would go unsolved.
The first trial in the United States to use forensic anthropologist techniques was the Leutgert
Sausage Trial in 1897. In this case a man who owned a sausage company was found with residual
human skeletal remains in his vats at the sausage factory. George Dorsey, Harvard alum, identified
the bones in the vat, and testified at trial. Although these techniques were not modern by any means,
it paved a way for forensic anthropology in the US legal system. Again the importance of forensic
anthropology was revealed during the outbreak of World War II. The

The Voyages Of The Slave Trade Voyages
Other risks that affected the slave trade voyage, indirectly to investors while directly to the ship
owner, captain and others aboard included natural disasters due to weather and navigation, attacks
by pirates or competing trading countries, slave rebellions, and diseases as mentioned before. The
weather and natural disasters is not widely cited as a great risk to these voyages. Nonetheless, it is
imperative in the analysis if we are trying to capture a complete picture of the supply line of slaves
to the colonies. At the very start of the trade in 1514, voyages only crossed the Southern Atlantic
Ocean, but as the trade grew by 1650, and slaves started to be shipped to North America and some
to Europe, as shown in figure 2, captains also had to face the rough conditions that came with sailing
the northern Atlantic Ocean (Slave voyages, 2014)
Figure 2. This table shows the destination of the voyages from the beginning of the trade, until it
was abolished. Notice that slaves were not shipped farther north until later in the slave trade, starting
with the British Caribbean and moving north. (Slaves Embarked Table, 2014)
While crossing the Atlantic, fears of being attacked by pirates, or taken over by a Spanish ship were
very real (Eltis et al., 2010). The reasons for such attacks are clear; the ships transported valuable
goods (slaves, among other goods such as gold and ivory) and was very vulnerable in the middle of
the ocean, with only a small crew aboard to defend it.

The ideas that Polo shared, matched directly with another book called Geography, another man later
on came out with the three–dimensional globe. This only gave Columbus' idea more credit, he
wanted to go to Asia, the Sovereigns were his only hope. King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella, were
the only people that helped Columbus on his first voyage. At first they were completely unwilling to
help, but an advisor from the court told the King and Queen that there was not much to lose with
Columbus. If he made it back, the Sovereigns would have first hands on any land that Columbus
would have found. They liked the idea. The only downside was that the Sovereigns would only be
making a small investment in Columbus. If he failed and perished in the ocean, they would never
hear from him again. It was a win–win situation. If he did find Asia, then he would bring back
something more precious than gold, or silver,and pearls; they wanted pepper, a spice only found in
the east. Through out the first chunk of the book, many details and names are given, but the most
important is Juan Rodriguez de Fonseca.Throughout Columbus' life, Fonseca plays a very important
role as the man that causes many – if not all of Columbus' failures and difficulties. At the time

Analysis Of ' The First Circumnavigators '
Brent Sather Professor Halavais History 376 27 September 2017 Exploration of the World
Throughout Harry Kelsey's book, "The First Circumnavigators", as well as, Roger Crowley's book
"Conquerors", they both explain many misfortunes and hazards that the Spanish and Portuguese
explorers faced during the various expeditions that set sail on. Many misfortunes that happened on
the voyages included bad weather, scarce food, individual faults, as well as attacks and invasions.
One of the major misfortunes that Harry Kelsey describes is the difficulty of the changing weather.
For example, Magellan accounts on his voyage that, "On 6 April 1522, the Trinidad, after

All of this was the cause of death for many and serious illness for others. In particular, many men
ate the great lizards–large shiny things–and only a few of them are still alive." The survival of the
crew was one of the biggest priorities. This was one of the biggest hazards that the crew had to deal
with. On Magellan's Voyage, "The next day was Easter Sunday, and Magellan ordered everyone to
go ashore and attend Mass. After this he invited the officers to dine with him on the flagship. None
of the conspirators accepted the invitation. Instead, they waited until nightfall, then quietly boarded
the San Antonio and put Captain Mesquita in chains. The ship's master, Juan de Elorriaga, was
fatally stabbed when he tried to intervene." These individual actions by traitors on the ship created
many unfortunate situations between the crew members that could have been avoided. During
another part of the Magellan Voyage, it was stated that, "Finally on 18 December, the vessels were
ready to sail. The Victoria left first, waiting outside the harbor. But a dragging anchor on the
Trinidad opened a seam in the hull, and water rushed in. Repairs were impossible without unloading
the ship." This was an individual action that could have been avoided. If the anchor was brought in
before the boat was launched, it would have saved them more time for travel, as well as more room

he told david his last wish was for him to take the frog, his boat, to sea until he couldn't see land
anymore and throw his ashes into the water. So he did what his uncle wanted him to do but on the
way there things get a little rough. On the way there he runs into a whole ton of problems the first
one he encountered is a giant storm out of nowhere, the second one is running out of food and water,
the third one is exhaustion and need of medical attention. The genre of the book is fiction. ... Show

David is slowly getting more exhausted although he does get sleep he always has to be ready for
anything so he doesn't sleep well which means he can't put in his all. Also every day his medical
conditions are getting worse and he will probably need medical care when he gets back. Although he
still keeps going because he has to take care of his head and shoulder while also avoiding getting
injured again from mussels being pulled so he can still do his daily task, be able to still operate the
boat and do any necessary repairs needed without enduring pain to himself.
In conclusion throughout all the struggles he had dealing with the frog when he did get found he
wouldn't leave it so the people that found him gave him all the supplies he would need and he then
started the journey back to his home without a worry because him and the frog were no longer two
things they were one and acted as one.David no longer looked at this journey as a bad thing but a
good time and a bonding experience with the frog and the sea the ocean a beautiful thing but it is
also one of the most dangerous things. So in conclusion I really liked this book.
The theme of the book is although times can be difficult you have to continue and push forward and
patience will have good results.
The mood of the book is exciting it kept me wanting to read more.
The tone of the book is serious because when I read it it seemed so real and like I was there with

Research Paper On Charles Darwin's Voyage
Charles Darwin received an exhilarating invitation to be a part of the HMS Beagle for a trip around

exotic animal world along the coast of South America because of the fascination it brought to him.
Darwin embarked on this journey with high ambition and his mind set on collecting specimens for
the study of geology and natural history. The ship set sail out of Plymouth and over the course of
five years and hit the coast of South America, Africa, England, Australia, and New Zealand.

and everything went back to normal. Another challenge that had to be faced was in September of
1834, Darwin had been very sick with a bad fever and did not recover until late October. This
affected his explorations and journaling because of the chest pains and heart problems that were

In "The Voyage Out" by Morley Callaghan, he is making a critique of the way men use the male
gaze, and how it makes women feel. Jeff who is in a state of excitement is trying to figure out his
identity and what the male gaze does for him; the male gaze affects Jeff's life through Jessie, the girl
in the green hat, and Eva and how his looking upon them makes them feel.
Jessie affects Jeff in a way that captivates him and makes him excited. Our first description of Jessie
is, "[Jeff] discovered she as neat and pretty, he began to watch her furtively ... when she got up to
go, he followed her out" (46). Jeff is his exerting his use of the male gaze and staring at Jessie.
Jessie seems to enjoy Jeff's male gaze and returns his affections, "she suddenly put her arms tight
around him, lifted up her face, held him as if she would never let him go, and let him know she was
offering him all her love" (47). Jessie gives Jeff exactly what he wants, almost; but even the thought
that Jessie is willing to sleep with him has him basking in, "his own triumphant importance" (47).
The male gaze works in Jeff's benefit in his situation with Jessie, and Jessie appears to be accepting
of the male gaze.
With the girl in green hat there is an alternate side to the male gaze. Mike a man older than Jeff and

It was on this voyage that "he learned how to sail, manage a boat, estimate distances, and other
elements of seamanship" (29) 1. In 1476, Columbus found his way to Portugal after his ship was
burned during the wars between the Mediterranean states. Columbus arrived shortly after the death
of Prince Henry the Navigator who had set up his headquarters in Cape St. Vincent in addition to a
school for maritime discovery. In 1477, Columbus set out as a sailor on a trade ship towards Ireland
and Iceland. The next year, a Lisbon merchant sent Columbus out on a sugar trade between Madeira
and Genoa. This was an indication that Columbus "was rising in the world" (30) 1. Columbus then
ventured into the chart–making business with his brother, Bartholomew. "He developed into a
skilled mapmaker became acquainted with the latest news about the world and its geography "
(30) 1. After the death of his wife, Columbus became very interested in the Portuguese trading post
in a gold–mining area on the Gulf of Guinea (Ghana) on the west coast of Africa. Columbus further
developed his skills as a seaman by observing his Portuguese shipmates that taught him "how to
handle a ship in heavy winds, what kinds of stores to take on a long voyage, and how to trade with
primitive people" (31) 1. Upon his return to Lisbon, Columbus was ready to explore the unknown

measures 13.50" x 11.88". This image was submitted to Fine Art America in 2012. I find Olson
created a quite busy, yet intricate image that evokes many different thoughts and feelings as to its
meaning. One can make a connection with God, others can say the image represents the expansive
imagination of children. Less than a quarter of a bed finds itself sitting in the right section of the
frame. The blankets were blue with hints of purple. A singular white pillow lays against the wooden
bedframe. Above the bed rests a variety of purple and blue shades blended inside a golden picture
frame. The walls containing the room are the same mix of blue but with the lightest part of the
image being the middle, with it getting subtly darker as the viewers eyes stray left or right from the
center. Just to the left of the bed, a young boy, perhaps six years of age, holding open a sturdy
wooden chest for a large array of animals. The image looks to be representing post 2000. The boy

Memories are curious monsters. They can build us up, inspire us to do better, prompt us to question
our actions, perpetuate a desire to discover, fuel our curiosity or even change the way we rationalize
our surroundings. Though they have an incredible power to build up and destroy, we often neglect
memories. My literacy history is full of vivid memories. Literacy sponsors radically affected my
writing styles, my reading processes, and my editing conventions. They shaped and molded me into
the writer I am today. In this paper, I will begin to unpack the literacy practices I developed, the
impact of my sponsors, and my conclusions on how my practices and sponsors interact. I will be

Everything in my childhood, from the daily quiet times, to the reading and writing for school
projects, cultivated my English literacies. Without her encouragement, I would not enjoy the
learning process as much as I do today. Showing the importance of early literacy development,
Erika J. Peterson, in her research about the impact of praise on students in their early education,
made some interesting points throughout her paper. She declared in her article, Past Experiences and
Future Attitudes in Literacy, "Critiquing children with the sincerity and outspokenness you would
adults or teens could potentially crush their fragile egos, making them feel less able. Being aware of
the emotional and delicate side of learning literacy is vital"

With such devastation and failure of not really discovering or finding anything, Bartolomeu Dias felt
terrible. Although with such luck, on their way back to Portugal, Dias discovered the Cape of Good
Hope near the southern tip of Africa. He originally named it the Cape of Storms due to all the
violent storms in the area, but king John then renamed it to the Cape of Good Hope. After Dias's
massive discovery, he returned to Portugal in December, 1488. Due to Dias's brilliant discovery, he
was later on employed to go on another voyage. A month later, Bartolomeu Dias unfortunately
passed away due to a ship wreck at sea near the Cape of Good Hope during a storm.

For my presentation I chose to observe, The Flying Dutchmen, a German opera, with music
composed by Richard Wagner. This opera was in German with American subtitles displayed above
the screen. The Flying Dutchmen, incorporated a large cast of characters that played significant
roles through the performance. The opera told the story of a Captain whose ship was caught in an
icy storm that pushed his ship off course. The captain dropped his anchor and decided to wait out the
storm. After the captain and the other sailors take retire for the evening, a ship locks itself to theirs.
The captain of the new ship called the Flying Dutchman; The mysterious man divulges that an angel
once delivered him instructions of his salvation, so that once every seven years, if he is able to find a
wife that is pure of heart and true to him, he will be free of his curse. The Dutchman offers the

I understand how difficult it is not to portray certain elements in a opera that were meant to be
conveyed through story. Things like the ocean were portrayed on a projection screen and the shore
of the captains home was also the same as the the setting for the ship. This for me, made it a little
harder to interpret what was going on from act to act. I did enjoy the music performance, but I felt
that the performance took what would have happened in two short conversations and turned it into a
three hour opera. I don't think it is fair to assume that this opera represents all operas, and I believe I
will attend another opera potentially in English so I do not feel that I am watching a teleprompter for
the majority of the performance instead of absorbing the

Voyage To America Research Paper
The voyage to America for the servants was a horrible journey. Servants were packed in boats with
little to no space. An individual would be given 2 feet width and 6 feet length to sleep in, but boats
were usually overloaded with hundreds of servants including tools, provision and other items that
took up space. Packed in space, fewer boats servants were carried to England from Holland. This
journey usually took two to four weeks depending on the winds. If winds were good, the journey
would take eight days or sooner to arrive. Servants were allowed to take their money, but were
forced to waste it all to purchase goods but they still ended starving. Once the ships arrived in
England the voyage began to Philadelphia. The duration of this voyage also consisted of what types
of winds there were. If winds were good, the voyage took up to eight to 12 weeks. During these
voyages, people suffered terrible misery, horror, vomiting, cancer, and other sicknesses which
caused many servants to die. Young children from infants to the age of seven served the voyage,
although most of the children were thrown into the sea for their parents saw no future or peace on
earth for them. Sickness in the ships spread rapidly due to the unsanitary environment servants were

Servants would eat peas and loblollie. They were also enforced to work hard from dawn to dust all

A power shift from the shogun to territorial lands in hundreds of separate domains was clearly
evident, marking the "Warring States" period of Japanese history, lasting from 1467 to 1568. The
emperor at Kyoto became a figurehead, having a leadership title but no actual power. Subsequently,
powerful samurai seized control of old feudal estates and offered peasants protection and security.
The peasants, in return, farmed the land and vowed loyalty to the samurai. These warrior–chieftains,
known as daimyo, became lords of the revived feudalism in Japan, analogous to European feudalism
in a number of ways. The daimyo built fortified castles and created small armies of samurai on
horses, later supplementing with musket–armed soldiers. Rivals often duked it out for each other's
territory. This ushered in disarray across the

Mental Endurance in Endurance Shackleton's Incredible Voyage
Mental Endurance in Alfred Lansing's Endurance Shackleton's Incredible Voyage
In Endurance Shackleton's Incredible Voyage, Alfred Lansing recounts the tale of one of the greatest
successes of the Twentieth Century. Ironically, Lansing's detailed account of the 1915 Trans–
Antarctic Expedition illuminates the stark reality that Sir Ernest Shackleton's expedition did not
fulfill its goal. In fact, the expedition never even set foot upon the continent that they had intended
to cross. The outstanding success of that motley crew of adventurers was in their ability to endure
the harsh Antarctic climate. Despite having their ship crushed by an ice cap, spending the dark
Antarctic winter hopelessly alone, suffering through a stormy voyage in ... Show more content on

In order to endure, one must get along with himself to prevent the self–pity that cripples the human
organism, and he must also cooperate with his peers unless he wants to abandon any help he might
have received from the resourceful human community around him. There it is then, Shackleton's
indefatigable trait, the positive attitude that permits people to explode through obstacles by the
means of cooperation of mind, body, and peers.
While I am not as experienced in the faculty of endurance as Shackleton was, my trials as a distance
runner have bequeathed me with a concrete idea of what endurance is. My debilitating cramps, my
slogs through mud pits that were formerly legitimate trails, and my stomach emptying wretches on
the side of the sizzling track have enstilled in me the prerequisite for a belief that what I am doing
really matters. When I fail to maintain a positive mental attitude, my exhausted legs slow in their
powerful dance; they simply refuse to go any faster as the blanket of apathy envelopes me. Although
my running horror story pales in comparison to Shackleton's epic of frostbite and starvation, the
workout early on a rainy Saturday morning in November required that I suck it up and believe in
what I was doing. I had already run three one mile repeats at a ridiculously fast rate of speed over

The Voyages that Found America
America got its recognition from an Italian explorer named Amerigo Vespucci. Even though
Amerigo visited America after Christopher Columbus did, he was the first person to recognize North
and South America as different continents. These continents were first unknown to the Europeans,
Asians, and Africans. Columbus made four trips over the Atlantic Ocean from Spain where he was
originally from. He really wanted to find a direct water route from Europe to Asia. Instead of finding
his waterway that he was hunting for, he accidentally stumbled upon what would be now days the
North and South Americas. He didn't really discover the Americas because there were many ... Show

Columbus married a girl named Dona Felipa Perestrello E Moniz. They had two kids, Diego and
Fernando. Diego was the oldest and was born in 1480. Fernando was born in 1488 ("Christopher
Columbus").
While Columbus was working as a merchant sailor in Portugal, they were really looking for a route
that went east from Europe across the sea over to Asia. They couldn't get to Asia by land because the
route between Europe and Asia was blocked off by Muslim Nations. The European people wanted
traded goods from Asia, but they had a very difficult time finding a route around the continent of
Africa and they soon were afraid they were never going to find an eastern route across the sea.
Columbus's brother Bartholomew made it around the tip of Africa in 1488 but did not make any
progress up the coast after that. Christopher had heard some things through the grapevine that it
might have been possible to make it to Asia by sailing west. Columbus had hoped that he could
make that voyage himself. The thought of Columbus sailing west had people extremely nervous.
People at that time in the world believed the earth was flat and no one knew for sure how big the
earth actually was. No one had a clue how long it would take him to get to the other side of the earth
or how long of a distance it was. Because people didn't really know much about the world back

Voyages Of Columbus : The Voyage Of Christopher Columbus
Christopher Columbus had three ships on his first voyage, the Niña, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria.
Columbus sailed from Palos de la Frontera on 3 August, 1492. His flagship, the Santa Maria had 52
men aboard while his other two ships, the Nina and Pinta were each crewed by 18 men.
The Santa Maria was a nao, was a bit of a tub, and was not able to go near the coastline. But was
able to carry a lot of cargo, and it was able to stand up well in bad weather. The Niña, the Pinta were
caravels, with a shallower draft than a nao, did not have much cargo space, but were able to explore
shallow bays and the mouths of rivers. A carvel was square–rigged on its foremasts and mainmasts,
but used a lateen sail on the mizzen to help in tacking. A caravel had about twenty crew members,
who slept on the deck and would go below only if the weather was bad.
The crew were gathered by Martín Alonso Pinzón (captain of the Pinta). They were experienced
sea–men, and four of them had taken an offer from the Spanish throne for amnesty from prison if
they took the voyage. Many of these sailors were from the nearby towns of Lepe and Moguer.
Over several days, ships of Columbus's day would average a little less than 4 knots. Top speed for
the vessels was about 8 knots, and minimum speed was zero. These speeds were quite typical for
vessels of the period. So overall, 90 or 100 miles in a day would be typical, and 200 phenomenal. Of
the three ships on the first voyage, the Santa Maria was the slowest,

The Roanoke Voyages were England's first attempt at settling in North America. Sir Walter Raleigh
asked for Queen Elizabeth's permission to begin exploration and she agreed to let him organize the
expedition. However, he was not allowed to be physically involved in the actual voyages because
she believed he was a valuable asset to her and did not want him travelling far away. The first
expedition, in 1584, was an exploratory venture. Sir Walter Raleigh arranged for two ships to begin
the exploration. The two captains of the ships were Arthur Barlowe and Philip Amadas. They
discovered fertile land with plenty of game. The area, near the Pamlico and Currituck, would be a
great place to begin settlement. In addition to their own accounts of the journey, they also brought

information about potential places for settlement. Natives told tales of potential Gold mines and
calmer waters for better ship harbors. Hostility and violences between Lane's men and their primary
food and supply source, the Secotan tribe, forced the settlers to return to England. Fortunately, they
returned with detailed accounts of their experiences. Two major contributors of this information

Robinson Voyage Thesis

  • 1. Robinson Voyage Thesis For the last two weeks in class we have touched upon the topic of colonizing.we come to this topic point by reading four different text "to the virginian voyage ","robinson crusoe","the white man,s burden", and "the sacred mission of civilization". So far we have been asked to pick one of the following text of class to concentrate on and to answer three questions that was given to us. In which i pick "to the virginian voyage" by michael drayton to focus on. The questions given was 1.)"how do colonizers see themselves?" , 2.)" how do the colonizer see their mission in colonizing the new world?", 3.)"how do colonizers think that the colonized see them?". So i belive that this poem is most fitted to answer those questions. The first question ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... To answer this the author told readers that the colonizers believes that the land would be "perfect", so they are going to claim it. For example in the fourth stanza it states "to get the peale and gold" ro in other words its saying they want to win the prizes/resources of the new land. And the next part after this it says "where nature hath in store fowle, venison, and fish and the fruitfull'st soyle... Three harvests more all greater than you wish" which is saying that they belive that there's going to be more food and good weather for harvest. Another example to show that the colonizer believed it was going to be a perfect land was in stanza nine it's "where as the lushious smell of that delicious land , above the seas that flowers,the cleere wind throwes,your hearts to swell approaching the deare stand." to sum that up he believes that the land will have nice weather and beautiful land fulled with flower. And with all of this they belive once they get there its all theirs, which leads us to the third question. Third question that was given to us was "how do the colonizers think that the colonized see them?". I claimed that the colonized are not there but the people from their old country are. I claim this because they think no one is there at all. For example "whose reading shall inflame men to seeks fame" this is ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

We sailed for awhile, with small food rations for each of us. Cabot was barbarous to us. He made us work, while he did not make any such effort to assist us on the ship. He was a dreadful captain and should not have been chosen for the voyage. John did not bring enough food on board, so we eventually ran out. We informed him many times, concerned about the lack of food, but he did not bother to turn around, or do anything for our situation. He kept food for himself and ate and drank, without sharing any of it with the crew. We pleaded for him to turn back. Our crew had no ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Great Voyages: The Crusades [3/03/16] THE CRUSADES [Introduction] The Crusades were great voyages commenced by the Christian countries of Europe for the drive of getting back the holy places of Palestine from the Mohammedans. Society in Medieval Europe changed fundamentally, as a result of the crusades the wealth and power of the Catholic Church were influenced, feudalism weakened and social development rose. Bibliography http://www.lordsandladies.org/the–crusades.htm http://www.history.com/this–day–in– history/jerusalem–captured–in–first–crusade http://www.history.com/this–day–in– history/jerusalem–captured–in–first–crusade ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The Crusades damaged this system as Kings grew power due to a large number of noblemen dying which then impacted the system of work for protection. Due to this instead of the peasants helping their lords for protection, they gave their help to the king for security. This was when the Feudal system began to weaken. The king also began to bring taxes into medieval Europe and developed expediential by combining with other countries. He promised to his people that he would defend them by keeping burgles and thugs off the trading routes. The serfs who were at the bottom of the feudal system escaped or was able to buy their independence. You were not able to change classes before the crusades. If you were a rich peasant you would not change. Whatever you were born you would die as they were very harsh on the configuration of society. The crusades had changed that, now they were allowed to make a new class which was the middle class, and that class was the biggest over all. Where the serfs or the peasants would go to have a healthier life. That meant that the peasants and serfs didn't work all day every day. They were able to trade their belongings and produce money. Now the serfs are extinct but there are still the three classes in ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

It is an immense desert, where man is never lonely, for he feels life stirring on all sides. It is nothing but love and emotion; it is the Living Infinite". (Jules 199) This part of a Quote written by Jules Verne himself can be found in one of Verne's most famous book Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. it Gives a clue to his fascination with world travel adventures and the knowledge he was inspired by.

  • 9. Summary Of Virginia Woolf Bibliography Guiguet, Jean. Virginia Woolf and Her Works. Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1976. Thoroughly examining a handful of Woolf's critics and works, Guiguet offers extensive character and whole novel analysis proposing her view of the works. Guiguet harmonizes her analysis with her predecessors by building off their work and recognizing their skill and limitations in reviewing Woolf's work boosting her credibility and strengthening her viewpoint. This presents a unique perspective and allows Guiguet to present Woolf's work with Woolf's idea's taken from her diaries, different critics view points and build her own ideas on the works as well. The table of contents separates the book by the work that is being analyzed and provides a simple way of collecting desired information from the text. The book can effortlessly be employed in scholarly essays to boost opinions and personal viewpoints strengthening the essays thesis, particularly if arguing the point of Woolf's life being entwined into her works. Marder, Herbert. The Measure of Life: Virginia Woolf's Last Years. Cornell University Press, 2000. Marder furnishes a remarkable outlook on Woolf and how her life was intimately tied with her works and influences, going so far as to provide images of Woof's family and discussing how the image paralleled Woolf's characters. This biography delves into Woolf's life without restraint and undresses Woolf's motives, thoughts, opinions, and life, whether about suicide, politics, insecurities, or relations with other people. Probing into the lives of the people surrounding Woolf, this book presents information on important personal influences in Woolf's life. Marder connects historical events with Woolf's life and works analyzing her life with a new vigor and perspective offering interesting insight on the influences in Woolf's life. The text has the potential of being utilized to support a variety of arguments and perspectives on Woolf's works, though more specifically, the text supports a thesis connecting Woolf's work and her characters to her life and opinions.

First, the Commercial Revolution generated economic stability. Second, the Intellectual Revolution generated interest in the Earth's composition and the pursuit of exploration. Europe then called for a political revolution to end the disorganized and disorderly rule of its government. This revolution returned order and stability to the government and renewed interest in exploration to search for national wealth. The last of these revolutions was the religious revolution (note Columbus' voyage occurred before this revolution). As more people broke away from the national religion they searched for a place ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Afterwards, Columbus then went to Lisbon, Spain a year later where he would propose the voyage to King Ferdinand of Aragon and Queen Isabella of Castile. When Columbus made a friend in Father Perez, it was a turning point for him. He was able to gain support from converts who believed in his cause. Ferdinand and Isabella were harder to convince, however. They found little interest in Columbus' curiosity as they were preoccupied with defending themselves against the Moors. Later in 1491, Columbus again appears before Ferdinand and Isabella "who apparently liked and respected the determined seaman" (38) 1. Although they had admiration for Columbus, his plans for voyage were again rejected, partially because of his request to titles and riches. It seems that Columbus gave but scant and unsatisfactory information to the commission, probably through fear that his ideas might be improperly made use of and he be robbed of the glory and advantages that he expected to derive from his project (2) 2. But Columbus was not yet discouraged, for "he was a gentleman of great force and spirit naturally inclined to undertake worthy deeds and signal enterprises " (21) 3. 1492 was a successful year for the Spanish. On January 2, Grenada surrendered which freed Spain of the foreign power that occupied the city for seven centuries (35) 1.

  • 15. Bone Voyage Summary Stanley Rhine's Bone Voyage The book Bone Voyage by Stanley Rhine describes, in stunning detail, the work of forensic anthropologists. The author works for the New Mexico Office of Medical Investigations. The OMI is in charge of investigating any death in New Mexico that is sudden, unnatural, untimely, unattended, or suspicious deaths. They work together with multiple agencies in many different jurisdictions. Bone Voyage gives a lifelike, almost sickly, reality to the important jobs dealt to forensic anthropologists. The field of forensic anthropology is relatively young, with roots in the 1960's and 1970's. Its popularity continues to grow today, with TV shows like "Bones" and novels like "Coroner at Large." The work of a forensic anthropologist is important in a historical and medicolegal context. Without the study of bones and death, lots of history would be lost forever, and murders would go unsolved. The first trial in the United States to use forensic anthropologist techniques was the Leutgert Sausage Trial in 1897. In this case a man who owned a sausage company was found with residual human skeletal remains in his vats at the sausage factory. George Dorsey, Harvard alum, identified the bones in the vat, and testified at trial. Although these techniques were not modern by any means, it paved a way for forensic anthropology in the US legal system. Again the importance of forensic anthropology was revealed during the outbreak of World War II. The ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 19. The Voyages Of The Slave Trade Voyages Other risks that affected the slave trade voyage, indirectly to investors while directly to the ship owner, captain and others aboard included natural disasters due to weather and navigation, attacks by pirates or competing trading countries, slave rebellions, and diseases as mentioned before. The weather and natural disasters is not widely cited as a great risk to these voyages. Nonetheless, it is imperative in the analysis if we are trying to capture a complete picture of the supply line of slaves to the colonies. At the very start of the trade in 1514, voyages only crossed the Southern Atlantic Ocean, but as the trade grew by 1650, and slaves started to be shipped to North America and some to Europe, as shown in figure 2, captains also had to face the rough conditions that came with sailing the northern Atlantic Ocean (Slave voyages, 2014) Figure 2. This table shows the destination of the voyages from the beginning of the trade, until it was abolished. Notice that slaves were not shipped farther north until later in the slave trade, starting with the British Caribbean and moving north. (Slaves Embarked Table, 2014) While crossing the Atlantic, fears of being attacked by pirates, or taken over by a Spanish ship were very real (Eltis et al., 2010). The reasons for such attacks are clear; the ships transported valuable goods (slaves, among other goods such as gold and ivory) and was very vulnerable in the middle of the ocean, with only a small crew aboard to defend it. ...

If there were no speculations on the character of Columbus by the lector, then the book will leave the lasting impression that like us, Columbus was human as well. He was not a saint, and had his fallouts. His life was not a complete joy ride, but the ending of the book gives the reader the sense that Columbus was a man of exuberant character: "live a bold life rather than settle for mediocrity."(p.268) Divided into four sections: Prelude; Love Hope and Sex and Dreams; ...

This only gave Columbus' idea more credit, he wanted to go to Asia, the Sovereigns were his only hope. King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella, were the only people that helped Columbus on his first voyage. At first they were completely unwilling to help, but an advisor from the court told the King and Queen that there was not much to lose with Columbus. If he made it back, the Sovereigns would have first hands on any land that Columbus would have found. They liked the idea. The only downside was that the Sovereigns would only be making a small investment in Columbus. If he failed and perished in the ocean, they would never hear from him again. It was a win–win situation. If he did find Asia, then he would bring back something more precious than gold, or silver,and pearls; they wanted pepper, a spice only found in the east. Through out the first chunk of the book, many details and names are given, but the most important is Juan Rodriguez de Fonseca.Throughout Columbus' life, Fonseca plays a very important role as the man that causes many – if not all of Columbus' failures and difficulties. At the time Columbus was interested in sailing to Asia, Fonseca was the royal auditor of the Indies.

Analysis Of ' The First Circumnavigators ' Brent Sather Professor Halavais History 376 27 September 2017 Exploration of the World Throughout Harry Kelsey's book, "The First Circumnavigators", as well as, Roger Crowley's book "Conquerors", they both explain many misfortunes and hazards that the Spanish and Portuguese explorers faced during the various expeditions that set sail on. Many misfortunes that happened on the voyages included bad weather, scarce food, individual faults, as well as attacks and invasions. One of the major misfortunes that Harry Kelsey describes is the difficulty of the changing weather. For example, Magellan accounts on his voyage that, "On 6 April 1522, the Trinidad, after undergoing extensive repairs and with fifty–four men aboard, left Tidore and ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... All of this was the cause of death for many and serious illness for others. In particular, many men ate the great lizards–large shiny things–and only a few of them are still alive." The survival of the crew was one of the biggest priorities. This was one of the biggest hazards that the crew had to deal with. On Magellan's Voyage, "The next day was Easter Sunday, and Magellan ordered everyone to go ashore and attend Mass. After this he invited the officers to dine with him on the flagship. None of the conspirators accepted the invitation. Instead, they waited until nightfall, then quietly boarded the San Antonio and put Captain Mesquita in chains. The ship's master, Juan de Elorriaga, was fatally stabbed when he tried to intervene." These individual actions by traitors on the ship created many unfortunate situations between the crew members that could have been avoided. During another part of the Magellan Voyage, it was stated that, "Finally on 18 December, the vessels were ready to sail. The Victoria left first, waiting outside the harbor. But a dragging anchor on the Trinidad opened a seam in the hull, and water rushed in. Repairs were impossible without unloading the ship." This was an individual action that could have been avoided. If the anchor was brought in before the boat was launched, it would have saved them more time for travel, as well as more room for the crew if they weren't piled in one boat having to come back later for ...

Although he still keeps going because he has to take care of his head and shoulder while also avoiding getting injured again from mussels being pulled so he can still do his daily task, be able to still operate the boat and do any necessary repairs needed without enduring pain to himself. In conclusion throughout all the struggles he had dealing with the frog when he did get found he wouldn't leave it so the people that found him gave him all the supplies he would need and he then started the journey back to his home without a worry because him and the frog were no longer two things they were one and acted as one.David no longer looked at this journey as a bad thing but a good time and a bonding experience with the frog and the sea the ocean a beautiful thing but it is also one of the most dangerous things. So in conclusion I really liked this book. The theme of the book is although times can be difficult you have to continue and push forward and patience will have good results. The mood of the book is exciting it kept me wanting to read more. The tone of the book is serious because when I read it it seemed so real and like I was there with david. The irony

And on December 27, 1831, Charles Darwin set sail for the purpose of exploring the exotic animal world along the coast of South America because of the fascination it brought to him. Darwin embarked on this journey with high ambition and his mind set on collecting specimens for the study of geology and natural history. The ship set sail out of Plymouth and over the course of five years and hit the coast of South America, Africa, England, Australia, and New Zealand. However, there was no smooth sailing during the duration of the whole voyage. Darwin and his shipmates experienced a lot of hardships that had to be dealt with.

There were many different challenges that were seen during this voyage that impacted the fluidity of the trip. When the ship was stationed in Salvador, Brazil, Darwin got into an argument about slavery with the captain who would not share his dinner table with him ever again. However, he ended up apologizing to Darwin and everything went back to normal. Another challenge that had to be faced was in September of 1834, Darwin had been very sick with a bad fever and did not recover until late October. This affected his explorations and journaling because of the chest pains and heart problems that were happening at this time and the cause of his life–long illness. One of the reasons for Darwin's illness was that he lived in such small quarters. His room was 9 feet by 11 feet, however he only had about 6 feet by 8 feet of room to actually work with due to all of the furniture in the room.

Jeff who is in a state of excitement is trying to figure out his identity and what the male gaze does for him; the male gaze affects Jeff's life through Jessie, the girl in the green hat, and Eva and how his looking upon them makes them feel. Jessie affects Jeff in a way that captivates him and makes him excited. Our first description of Jessie is, "[Jeff] discovered she as neat and pretty, he began to watch her furtively ... when she got up to go, he followed her out" (46). Jeff is his exerting his use of the male gaze and staring at Jessie. Jessie seems to enjoy Jeff's male gaze and returns his affections, "she suddenly put her arms tight around him, lifted up her face, held him as if she would never let him go, and let him know she was offering him all her love" (47). Jessie gives Jeff exactly what he wants, almost; but even the thought that Jessie is willing to sleep with him has him basking in, "his own triumphant importance" (47). The male gaze works in Jeff's benefit in his situation with Jessie, and Jessie appears to be accepting of the male gaze. With the girl in green hat there is an alternate side to the male gaze. Mike a man older than Jeff and a man that Jeff is, "yearning to possess [his] wisdom" (49). While Mike and Jeff are sitting in a restaurant, Jeff notices two young women.

In 1476, Columbus found his way to Portugal after his ship was burned during the wars between the Mediterranean states. Columbus arrived shortly after the death of Prince Henry the Navigator who had set up his headquarters in Cape St. Vincent in addition to a school for maritime discovery. In 1477, Columbus set out as a sailor on a trade ship towards Ireland and Iceland. The next year, a Lisbon merchant sent Columbus out on a sugar trade between Madeira and Genoa. This was an indication that Columbus "was rising in the world" (30) 1. Columbus then ventured into the chart–making business with his brother, Bartholomew. "He developed into a skilled mapmaker became acquainted with the latest news about the world and its geography " (30) 1. After the death of his wife, Columbus became very interested in the Portuguese trading post in a gold–mining area on the Gulf of Guinea (Ghana) on the west coast of Africa. Columbus further developed his skills as a seaman by observing his Portuguese shipmates that taught him "how to handle a ship in heavy winds, what kinds of stores to take on a long voyage, and how to trade with primitive people" (31) 1.

One can make a connection with God, others can say the image represents the expansive imagination of children. Less than a quarter of a bed finds itself sitting in the right section of the frame. The blankets were blue with hints of purple. A singular white pillow lays against the wooden bedframe. Above the bed rests a variety of purple and blue shades blended inside a golden picture frame. The walls containing the room are the same mix of blue but with the lightest part of the image being the middle, with it getting subtly darker as the viewers eyes stray left or right from the center. Just to the left of the bed, a young boy, perhaps six years of age, holding open a sturdy wooden chest for a large array of animals. The image looks to be representing post 2000.

Subsequently, powerful samurai seized control of old feudal estates and offered peasants protection and security. The peasants, in return, farmed the land and vowed loyalty to the samurai. These warrior–chieftains, known as daimyo, became lords of the revived feudalism in Japan, analogous to European feudalism in a number of ways.

They couldn't get to Asia by land because the route between Europe and Asia was blocked off by Muslim Nations. The European people wanted traded goods from Asia, but they had a very difficult time finding a route around the continent of Africa and they soon were afraid they were never going to find an eastern route across the sea.

  • 72. Voyages Of Columbus : The Voyage Of Christopher Columbus Christopher Columbus had three ships on his first voyage, the Niña, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria. Columbus sailed from Palos de la Frontera on 3 August, 1492. His flagship, the Santa Maria had 52 men aboard while his other two ships, the Nina and Pinta were each crewed by 18 men. The Santa Maria was a nao, was a bit of a tub, and was not able to go near the coastline. But was able to carry a lot of cargo, and it was able to stand up well in bad weather. The Niña, the Pinta were caravels, with a shallower draft than a nao, did not have much cargo space, but were able to explore shallow bays and the mouths of rivers. A carvel was square–rigged on its foremasts and mainmasts, but used a lateen sail on the mizzen to help in tacking. A caravel had about twenty crew members, who slept on the deck and would go below only if the weather was bad. The crew were gathered by Martín Alonso Pinzón (captain of the Pinta). They were experienced sea–men, and four of them had taken an offer from the Spanish throne for amnesty from prison if they took the voyage. Many of these sailors were from the nearby towns of Lepe and Moguer. Over several days, ships of Columbus's day would average a little less than 4 knots. Top speed for the vessels was about 8 knots, and minimum speed was zero. These speeds were quite typical for vessels of the period. So overall, 90 or 100 miles in a day would be typical, and 200 phenomenal. Of the three ships on the first voyage, the Santa Maria was the slowest, ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Sir Walter Raleigh asked for Queen Elizabeth's permission to begin exploration and she agreed to let him organize the expedition. However, he was not allowed to be physically involved in the actual voyages because she believed he was a valuable asset to her and did not want him travelling far away. The first expedition, in 1584, was an exploratory venture. Sir Walter Raleigh arranged for two ships to begin the exploration. The two captains of the ships were Arthur Barlowe and Philip Amadas. They discovered fertile land with plenty of game. The area, near the Pamlico and Currituck, would be a great place to begin settlement.

It has since been named the "Lane Settlement", after the veteran Ralph who helped command the voyage and was later named governor of the settlement. During his time in the "New World", Lane directed parties to the North and West, to find more information about potential places for settlement. Natives told tales of potential Gold mines and calmer waters for better ship harbors. Hostility and violences between Lane's men and their primary food and supply source, the Secotan tribe, forced the settlers to return to England. Fortunately, they returned with detailed accounts of their experiences. Two major contributors of this information were Thomas Harriot and John White. Harriot returned with descriptions of local plants, animals, and people while White had drawn drawn useful maps along with watercolors of landscapes and natives he had seen during his time spent at the "Lane ...
