Jamestown Reaction **-8/10**

1. Everything happens for a reason. In this story there was so many awful inconveniences, but through it all God still delivered them. I thought Captan Smith's life style was such a good example for all of us. He lived his life out of total love for others! **BE SURE TO ELABORATE ON HOW HIS LIFESTYLE SETS AN EXAMPLE. A good writer provides specific details.**

2. Just a few of the hardships they had to endure was lack of food at times, the fear of sickness, bad living conditions, and their new president proved to be a bad leader.



Hey! Third day is almost down! :)

1. What is the conceit in the poem? - The conceit is that the robe symbolizes how he wants to be close to God. 2. What phrases or aspects of the poem are not typical of Puritan Plain Style? - The different colors of the robe. He wants a colorful life. 3. Regarding #1, cite some examples of the conceit. - That I am clothed in holy robes of glory. - Then dye the same in heavenly colors choice. - And make my soul Thy holy spoole to be. We thought the poem had a reflection on the story of Joseph and the coat of many colors. In that story the coat symbolized the father-son relationship and in the poem the robe symbolized the relationship the son wanted with the Father.
 * He is faithful in his religion and wants to become closer to God.
 * He wants to be colorful like Heaven. He might believe there are more colors then just gray in Heaven.
 * He wants to be woven in the robe of God. He wants to be that close.
