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?
what of the following best summarizes the main point of including information about the earlier colony of sir walter raleigh?
a. to introduce one source of the settlers' fears
b. to imply the new settlers would succeed
c. to suggest causes of the earlier failures
d. to create conflict for the new colonists

Which of these introductory paragraphs is missing a thesis statement? lori lanson wrote, “the city, no matter how small, is corrupt and unrepentant, while the sun shines brighter in the country, making people more wholesome.” like the writer, some people think living in the country is better than living in the city. others disagree, believing that the city is full of excitement, diversity, and opportunities. when deciding whether to live in the country or the city, first consider the pros and cons of living in each environment. did you know that there are over 33 grams of sugar in a can of soda? that is over the daily limit of total sugar for most people. so if just having one can of soda can put you over your daily limit, think about how all the sugar in cookies, candy, and other treats can add up. the average american has up to 82 grams of sugar each day. that's almost three times the recommended amount! americans consume large amounts of sugar in their daily diets, which leads to a variety of health problems. go outside on a windy day and you can feel the power of the energy of the future. wind energy is created by using large wind turbines which changes the energy from the wind into electricity to power our homes and workplaces. wind power is available every day of the year, rain or shine. a large fan, called a wind turbine, is made up of a blade, a rotor, a drive train, a tower, and other things like electrical wires. a clenched stomach; tight, painful shoulders and neck; a racing mind. these are just a few of the symptoms of stress that many people feel on a daily basis. the pressures of work, school, and relationships can affect our bodies and our minds. fortunately, we can counteract these negative symptoms. mindfulness techniques, such as daily meditation, have been proven to increase wellbeing and reduce stress, illness, and disease. people should consider making daily habits out of these practices.
