    The Chrysanthemums by John Steinbeck and Shiloh by Bobbie Ann Mason have many similar components with slight differences. The point of view in Shiloh is told by third person limited, and in Chrysanthemums it is also third person (mostly Elisa’s view.) The Chrysanthemums is a story about a wife named Elisa Allen who is unhappy with her life and marriage. Similarly, in Shiloh the main character's name is Norma Jean Motif, and she is also unhappy with her marriage. These stories struck me as interesting because of the unique time period they are set in. Chrysanthemums was published in 1938, and Shiloh was published in 1982. Both characters show signs of wanting to become independent and gain more freedom. Also they both have masculine characteristics because of the motivation to independent. The comparison of gender roles, point of view, and setting are big factors of why these stories work together to be so similar with slight differences.…

Bruton Parish Church, the Capitol, the Governors Palace, and the Magazine have all had important roles in the past, but which one is important enough to be made into a commemorative coin? Although every one of these buildings were crucial during colonial times, are relevant today, and reflect on the motto, ” That the future may learn from the past.” , the Magazine deserves the spot for holding a majority of the soldier’s weapons, stating independence, and explaining how and why people used and organized their weapons.…

There was scarcity of food and colony settlers were living off carcasses of dogs, cats and horses, time which would be later called the “Starving time”. This colony was founded in 1607 by 104 settlers of which only 38 survived the first nine months, with most succumbing to starvation and disease caused probably by poisoned water. Additionally, this time also saw one of the worst droughts , and since the colonists were not accustomed to agricultural labor, most perished and the survivors were entirely dependent on the trade with Native Americans. Being transported in such ear of such hardship, basic survival skills would be of most imperative. Also business skills would of importance to improve trade and commerce with the indigenous natives for initial survival. Without either of these skillsets it would near impossible to survive let alone thrive in such harsh conditions, especially if coming from an aristocratic background like most of the early settlers.
