Answer:

1) The colonists who survived on their journey to to Jamestown made a lot of mistakes that killed off over half of their remaining which could have been prevented. First, they landed too late to plant crops, so they would have to wait until the following spring. Also, the marshes in their environment carried and bred mosquitos carrying deadly diseases. Many of the men had never learned the value and necessity of hard work, and did not take well to the prospect of labor.

2) John Smith took initiative during this hard time, and told anyone who did not work for their food could not take it from those who had. He also reformed helpless, dying men into able citizens who were able to provide their own food. He also managed to set up trade with nearby natives, who also taught them valuable skills.

3) Learning from these mistakes, I would have made sure there was time to plant crops, which we could have stored for winter as well, and I would have set up a form of government before arrival. Also, I probably would have sent a scout ship to look at the land and brief settlers before deciding we were ready.

4) A lot of times, I will decide I cannot perform a task, or would rather not do the work. However, the most important step to getting anything done is actually starting, because without that one crucial step, nothing will ever get accomplished.

What is an effective hook for this assignment?

We watch and we hope as we see positive changes taking place. There are some, I know, in your society who fear that change will bring only disruption and discontinuity, who fear to embrace the hope of the future – sometimes it takes faith. . . . But change would not mean rejection of the past. Like a tree growing strong through the seasons, rooted in the Earth and drawing life from the sun, so, too, positive change must be rooted in traditional values. –Address at Moscow State University Ronald Reagan What type of rhetorical device does Reagan use in this passage?

Nights and Dragons—
From the memoir of author Abigail Prynne

1
I sit at my desk listening to thunder growl outside my window. Flashes of light burst through the darkness, and wind races past my window. The thrilling combination of sight and sound conjures up visions of dragons roaring proudly, breathing fire, and soaring across the midnight sky. Dragons first fascinated me when I was a little girl. They have followed me ever since. The magnificent creatures appeared in storybooks I read in the library, paintings I saw in museums, movies I watched in the theater, and the dreams I had in my sleep. By the time I was thirteen, one question consumed me. I wanted to know if dragons ever existed, so I set out on a quest for facts.
2
As I started my research, I discovered many skeptics. Scientists presented evidence to show why dragons could not—and did not—exist. They explained that it would be impossible for dragons to fly because they would be too big. They laughed at the idea of dragons breathing fire. They pointed out that no other animal has ever done this. They said that if dragons had lived, someone would have found remains somewhere in the world. No bones about it, there were plenty of logical explanations. It would have been easy for me to accept that the only place dragons ever existed was in the imaginations of those who believed.
3
I could have given up, but I thought about my grandmother. She always told me that "people who believe that science is the answer to everything are missing out on everything else." With her words in mind, I searched some more. There were many facts that hinted that dragons may not be fictional. I noticed that cultures across the world all described dragons in similar ways. This was odd because they had no way to communicate with each other. I found dragons mentioned in more than just stories. They appeared in old legal papers, in the travel logs of Marco Polo, and in the Bible. I saw that the Chinese calendar uses a different animal each year. Dragons are included along with eleven real animals. I began to believe it was a real possibility that all of these people were talking about a creature that actually existed.
4
With renewed hope that there was some truth to the legends, I looked for new research. I found that some experts disagreed with popular arguments against dragons. They suggested that a dragon could have four stomachs like a cow. If it created stomach gases like birds, it might create enough to lift itself off the ground. This would give it the ability to fly. If it forced out air when diving toward the earth, it might release gases which could ignite into flame. When the animal died, the stomachs would release strong acids that would dissolve its dead body over time. Biologists backed up these ideas with sketches and models based on known animals. Not everyone agreed with these ideas, but many of the things we accept about dinosaurs and other extinct species started the same way.
5
I doubt we will ever truly know whether dragons existed. There may always be two sides to the fiery debate. Some will say the stories come from active imaginations. Some will believe with all their hearts that the legendary creatures roamed our ancient world. I don't know for certain which side to believe, but the sound and fury of a night like this makes me smile. It rekindles my childhood dreams and keeps the exciting possibility alive.
