Child By Tiger Thomas Wolfe
926 wordsChild By Tiger The need for acceptance emerges in many sectors. In the work place and places of recreation, people feel stable when others accept and affirm them.

Puritans Jamestown Land
310 wordsIn view of Jamestown's exposure to the elements such as rising tides, flooding, hurricanes, etc. as well as the swampy nature of the land itself, why would the settlers choose that location above others to establish a settlement? It would seem logical to setup organized communities, like the puritans that foster a central church and a sense of union. I find it interesting and intelligent of the puritans to setup towns in a configuration as noted in American Promise (p. 87) that depicts the stand...
