essay #1 (body)

its kinda rough, but ill do editing on it tomorrow. :)

Prior to the appearance of indentured servitude there was the problem of many wanting to motivate and recruit some type of labor force. Many found the solution to this problem would be to start indentured servitude. Many youth between the ages of 13 and 25 would sign on a contract to be a servant for 4 to 7 years in return of transportation to America along with food and shelter from the government.

By 1619, tobacco supply was in demand in Virginia. The supply and demand for indentured servants was much higher at this time simply because many needed them to help clear the fields, and to tend and harvest the crop. Coincidentally, this was the time unemployment was hitting many very hard back in England. So going to England and serving in the fields was the best many could do.

If an indentured servant did not perform well as to a master’s standards, their time could be lengthened from their original contract agreement. This could be because of bad behavior, or poor task performance. As time progressed, being an indentured servant was not voluntary anymore. The English would sell individuals to masters in America to work for them. This could be because of lack to find employment and having no money to afford land in which they would be sold to masters in America.

After time progressed, economic problems became far less bad in England. The need to sell individuals to American masters was not a problem anymore. Additionally, individuals were not willing to take a fresh start in American indentured servitude. Nevertheless, servitude died down and became nonexistent by the 1670’s.

synthesis

In the documents and the movie clip I have come to a conclusion to say that the British were actually just cheating over the colonists. I mean, they don’t even live in Britain anymore and yet they get taxed? That’s like saying for Mexican immigrants to have to pay Mexico taxes. They were paying money for the individuals living in Britain to get the beneficial stuff. To have their country fixed up while the colonists didn’t have any benefit of it. The colonists were just getting screwed over.

hypothesis

hypothesis: Why did the colonists need to defeat the Indians to obtain full power?

-i feel the first quote is about the conditions the slaves were put in. they were trained how to do certain tasks and then forced to do them. and if they did not do them, they were beaten. The conditions they were in were very cruel and i feel really bad for the slaves in the 1600's. They should not have had to go through what they had to go through. No matter what the background of that time was. It was still awfully wrong.

-i believe the second quote is saying in order to be productive of a task they have to be forced to do the task or job. This is sometimes true. Sometimes you need to be forced in order to the job. but othertimes it will only make it worse. you may not do it well if you are forced. so sometimes its better not to force someone to do something they are against.

Writing Philosophy

To write my thoughts on writing would take very large amounts of time and space if i were to cover everything. But some of the most important would have to be that when you write it shouldn't be a lie. It should show who you are and what your deepest desires and thoughts are. Every topic you write can show this in some way. It doesn't really matter what the topic is. Weather the topic is about Columbus and how he traveled to America or to just simply free write on any topic you choose.

When you write though, you shouldn't just slap some stuff together and call it good. You should really think about what you are writing and make sure it is very well thought out and makes sense. A very important part of writing is also putting your heart into it so you can make it a very interesting piece of work. What makes good writing is very descriptive concrete details that tells exactly what you are trying to say. It should be very clear and not just some random stuff you put together at last minute.

I, myself when i write try to really make a well thought out descriptive piece. I make it sound professional and unique in its own way. It shows who I am as a person and my thoughts about the world around me. When I write I can also tend to be very lengthy when I am really into the topic I am writing about. I am a very different kind of writing in some ways.

We have all came upon the topic of abortion some time in our lives. Some don't consider it killing until a certain age. Some think its all up to the mother. And some just flat out don't care. Abortion is wrong, no matter what.

If you and the person you love, have sexual intercourse with one another, and if you don't use protection, odds are you will end up pregnant. If you don't want the child, that doesn't mean you have the right to kill the child and you should get an abortion. Even if it's only a few weeks into the pregnancy, that is still killing the child. If you are preventing them from living, you are killing the child. If you really dont want the child, they came up with this little thing not too long ago, its called adoption. Ever heard of it? You can give the baby away to someone who does want it, rather than murdering it. So why kill the baby, when you can put it up for adoption. It shouldn't be up to you, the mother. If you didn't want to get pregnant you should have used protection in the first place. If you don't want it, you should put it up for adoption. And that should be the law. Some mothers couldn't care less if they are killing a child. But there is always one exception to this, and the only exception, rape. Mothers have no say in weather they wanted to be raped. For nine months, they have thier oversized stomach to remind them of the horrible night. Other than that there is absolutely NO REASON to kill your unborn child.

As it stands today, every day 126,000 unborn babies are being killed, and every year over 46 million, 3/4 of these are women in the united states, which is far too many. I see absolutely no good reason for that many unborn babies being killed. Stop abortions, and stop killing unborn babies.
