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?

1)

2)

The benefits of cooking classes are so great that all schools should offer cooking as part of the standard curriculum. Food preparation is a skill that students will use throughout their lives. For example, Youth Focus magazine reports that early culinary education is likely to help young adults live independently, reduce expenses, and even offer meals to friends and family. But the benefits of cooking classes go beyond learning to chop, mix, and sauté. I mean, admit it: Cooking is way better than having to take a boring class like nutrition or science, and you can learn some of the same stuff. Plus, it's kinda fun, and you get free food.

Identifying Sensory Images
And though my head felt heavy,
I played on till dusk
Missing flies and pop-ups and grounders
And calling out in desperation things like
“Yours” and “take it,” but doing all right,
Tugging at my cap in just the right way,
Crouching low, my feet set.
“Hum baby” sweetly on my lips.

—“How I Learned English,”
Gregory Djanikan

SHARKS' TEETH
Langston Carter

The day we found the sharks' teeth was foggy and cool. Moisture hung in the air so thick you could almost see it sparkling in the dim sunlight. There were days, early in the summer like this one, where it seemed there was more water in the air than in the bay. We had beached the boat and stepped out on the recently cleared spit of land. The ground had a light dusting of white sand over an under layer of dried black mud. It looked like a recently frosted chocolate cake, though the frosting was spread a bit thin for my taste. The ground was solid, but we knew from experience that it was full of fiddler crab holes, and would be underwater at the first super-high tide. Mysteriously, to us anyway, someone wanted to build a house there.

We often came to these spots to look for artifacts. Our beach, our summer home, had been a fishing camp for as long as anyone living could remember. The oldest stories told of travelers coming down to the edge of the sea, lining up to fill their wagon beds with salted fish to take back home. Old decaying cabins still lined the beach. Rotting nets, hung out to dry in the last century, decorated their weathered walls. Their broken faces spun stories in our minds. The fishermen who, tanned and wrinkled from sun and salt, hauled their nets full of splashing mullet in to cheers from the waiting crowds. The bounty of the sea lightened everyone's hearts, and the smell of roasting fish filled the damp air. Women fanned themselves from wagon seats. Children splashed in the shallow edges of the bay. It was a scene we had acted out as youngsters, building an imaginary bridge to a life we would never fully know.

1Poetry is a huge part of literary history. 2It is also a part of musical history. 3From the lyrics of ancient folk songs to those of modern-day rap, musicians have used words in their art to express life, love, and culture. 4Whether the melody comes first or the words do, it is a poet's job to make them work together. 5The music and words become partners in the goal of expressing ideas or affecting the listener in some way. 6We have all been turned into mush by a beautiful song with a sad message, and we have the musical poets to thank for that.
