The moment I came back to the sight of the looming red X on my family's dwelling door, I knew my life was over. All the other houses in our colony had already been marked, so it was just a matter of time until we were graced with the red X of death. I knew my mother hadn't been feeling so well, but I thought that it was just another of her sickly spells, not the disease that had already killed 2/3 of the submerged population. Every colony but the Mageleana and Indic colonies had already been quarantined, but I never knew that the Cuan Siar -my colony- would be next. After capturing a single glimpse of the door, I strained to see if my mother and 2 brothers were still inside, knowing better than to go back and risk getting punished. Maybe they …show more content…
So far, only the smaller, less wealthy colonies had been infected, and the rich colonies had avoided being affected. It seems like a bit of a coincidence that only the rich and powerful in Valtameri, the submerged nation of the last remaining humans, would be the safest. According to the Center of Disease Eradication, there is nothing to prevent, or even help, the disease. A rumor about the rebellion brewing in the lowest colonies came to mind, and I started to brew on an idea. Maybe, the government engineered this sickness to quell the fire of rebellious actions in our nation. After my time schedule had ended, I traveled to the Center for Disease Eradication to receive my new dwelling …show more content…
Rising from my crouched position on the floor, I slowly lowered my hand into the case, but a blaring alarm went off once I got too close. Instantly, all the heads of the office workers turned towards me, staring accusingly. At once, I lunged for the door in which I entered the room with, but it slammed shut before I could do anything. The once mindless-seeming office workers eerily reached into their bottom drawers simultaneously and pulled out gas masks. Seemingly all at once, the air filled with a green gas, and the glass protecting Al.G broke, letting the mysterious vial shatter on the ground. My vision began to fog over, and I felt myself getting sleepier and sleepier. As my eyes started to close, I heard a large whooshing sound and heard all the office workers take their gas masks off. Once my eyes closed, my breathing started to become labored, and my heart started to beat faster than I ever had before. Because of the government required propaganda reading every week, I knew that my symptoms were the first stages of the sickness. I inquired that all of the office workers were ok, since they didn’t seem to dying. The gas
Grant successfully managed to treat Mr. G she comes to the realization that a doctor should not judge a patient no matter how they may act, as each patient may have a reason for acting the way they do. Dr. Grant has managed to learn how to combine her own personal experience with her doctoral skills she had learned in medical schools. Dr Grant believes. “ …[A]fter twenty-eight years of schooling, my education continues, both inside and outside the classroom” ( 183). Mr. G was the key figure in changing Dr. Grants judgement. If Mr. G had not shed light onto why he was in the hospital and how he felt stripped of his freedom to Dr. Grant she probably would have just branded him as crazy, she probably would have done the same to similar patients. As Dr. Grant states, “ … I was proud of myself for having accomplished my task… I was proud of myself because I had decided not to prejudge Mr. G” (182). Mr. G exposing his true emotions to Dr. Grant was the reason that she learned that she should not judge unique patients but instead, she should try to communicate with them and better understand so she can better help
Between the settlement at Jamestown in 1607 and the Treaty of Paris in 1763, the most important change that occurred in the colonies was the emergence of a society quite different from that in England. Changes in religion, economics, politics and social structure illustrate this Americanization of the transplanted Europeans.
American Colonies: Contrasting the New England and Southern Colonists The New England and Southern Colonies were both settled largely by the English. By 1700, the regions had evolved into two distinct societies. The southern colonies have characteristics that are the antithesis of the New England colonies attributes. New England was colonized for Freedom of Worship and freedom of political thought.

In pursuit of national glory, profit and religious mission, England started to explore and conquer the North America. Through the 1600s and the early 1700s, three major colonial regions, the New England colonies, the Middle colonies, and the Southern colonies, formed and developed, and the economic freedom from land owning drew people to the North America. However, during and after the French-Indian War, colonies cooperated to resist British policies and finally declared their independence in 1776.
The northern colonies badly needed the services their isolation denied them. The people needed doctors and surgeons and carpenters and blacksmiths. And although they could survive without many of the manufactured goods available only at high prices, they dreamed of owning these things. They dreamed also of luxury items-perfume, spices, silk cloth.
The Jamestown Colony, a colony in ruin, turned into the wealthiest colony. The Massachusetts Bay Colony, the “a city upon a hill” turned into “the city that fell down the hill.”
The pilgrims who settled in New England were in search of religious freedoms which was a major reason for them to leave England. These people believed that no one should be persecuted because of their religious beliefs. Some Protestants wanted to break away from the Anglican church while others wanted to be completely separate. Since there were many reasons for leaving England, there were many reason to go to America and set up the New England colonies. Another main reason for people such as farmers, craftsmen and traders to travel to America was to establish an all around better life. The colonies of Massachusetts and Rhode Island were settled by people in search of religious freedoms or a better overall way of life. They wanted a better
Exploration and establishment of colonies in the New World were seen as a symbol of power and potential wealth among European nations. Portugal, Spain, and France made their claims early. Beginning in the early 1600s, groups of people unhappy with their treatment in England sought after a new home. There were two types of English colonies that settled in the New World: those searching for religious freedom, and those searching for profit. Massachusetts and Virginia are examples of each. Although settled for different reasons, both colonies were similar in their initial struggles, eventual trade routes, and growing populations. Religious persecution was a main deterrent from remaining in England. Puritans, a religious group aside from the
Idea of God’s providence permeated throughout the thoughts and writings of the leaders of the early English colonists to America. Contemporaries take for granted the religiosity of the New England colonists, but for the Chesapeake Bay, especially around Jamestown, God’s providence gave explanations for why certain things happened the way that they did and acknowledged the presence of God everywhere that they went. The settlers of the Chesapeake Bay area were discoverers, adventurers, (primarily) men who sought wealth, riches, and authority in a land untouched; a “land as God made it” while those who chose to lead New England came for very different reasons and saw themselves as the chosen, the ones tasked with carrying onward and outward, to escape persecution and conduct their lives and religion the way that they wanted to. Out of these differences, there developed two separate, but connected, understandings of and uses for God’s providence.
The colonies developed because economic and political institutions in the colonies were either typically European or distinctively American. Climate, soil conditions, and other natural resources shaped regional economic development in all the colonies. New England made big profits from trade. The Middle Colonies had big cities and excellent harbors along the coasts. The merchants who lived in these growing port cities exported cash crops, especially grain, and imported manufactured goods. Because of its enormous trade, Philadelphia was the fastest growing city in the colonies. The Southern colonies developed into prosperous colonies that made large
So I search the cameras for anything suspicious but nothing happens all night. The only creepy things were the the box of masks and other objects recovered in my office and a spare freddy suit just outside the doorway. I was tempted to go put it on, but I knew I had to keep watching the cameras or I’d be fired if something was stolen. Then again who would want this stuff anyway. Finally 6 a.m struck I headed home. If every night was like this I would work here for years.
What major problems did the young republic face after its victory over Great Britain? How did these problems motivate members of the elite to call for a federal constitution?
I. Intro. - Imagine you are sitting home one night with nothing to do. Your parents have gone away for the weekend and there is absolutely no one around. So you sit around that night watching TV for awhile but find nothing on worth watching. You go on upstairs to your room and get ready for bed. Turn off the lights, lay down, and close your eyes. All of a sudden you here a crash of glass in your kitchen. You rush to your feet and put your ear to the door listening to what’s going on downstairs. You begin to hear the voice of two men as they start going through the living room, making their way to the stairs, right outside your room. What do you do? You aren’t going to confront them since its just you—remember you thought you heard two of them right? Well you are really stuck in your room and all you can do is sit there hoping that they leave soon and don’t harm you. Now if it were at my house things would be a little bit different. For starters I would get out my shotgun from my closet and begin to see what is gin on down stairs.
During the late 16th century and into the 17th century, European nations rapidly colonized the newly discovered Americas. England in particular sent out numerous groups to the eastern coast of North America to two regions. These two regions were known as the Chesapeake and the New England areas. Later, in the late 1700's, these two areas would bond to become one nation. Yet from the very beginnings, both had very separate and unique identities. These differences, though very numerous, spurred from one major factor: the very reason the settlers came to the New World. This affected the colonies in literally every way, including economically, socially, and politically.
