    Infatuation for love is a spell that can be broken in instant of discern. In the story “Out of Love in Sarajevo”, the main character is delusional about being in love with her college professor, Peter Piper. Contrary to her belief prior to her revelation, she was just obsessed with succeeding academically, thus outdoing her sister Clare. The opening setting of the story provides a hint to what the main character’s emotions were and how she would experience an unexpected life-changing decision: “it had rained in Sarajevo, and we had expected fine weather” (172). The fine weather in other words, would represent the ongoing love charade between her and Peter, which she was too blind to notice. The rain symbolized purity and an awaiting new beginning. Sarajevo is the town known for the crime of passion (that she, too, is guilty of) committed by Princip and it would be the key to her epiphany. She was blinded by lust, up to the point which she comes to her senses and transforms from insecure to confident.…

    Many died on the voyage to the Americas because of the conditions held on most ships, which contained large amounts of excrement that would make people on board sick. With the few that did survive were then sold to people in need of laborers. The Atlantic Slave trade arose which consisted of a triangular trade route that had involved the exchange of goods from Europe to Africa which then would be traded for more slaves. Slaves would be captured by the traders but more commonly exchanged with West Africans. Majority of slaves were sent to Brazil, Spanish America and the Caribbean’s which is where they were mostly needed since many cash crops needed laborers to harvest. By 1635 ships began regular slave cargos to the Americas which resulted in an increase of migration slaves. From 1635 to 1639 a total of 137 slaves were imported to…

America was already practicing slavery in the 17th and 18th century so when that time came they would already know what to do when they have slaves in North America.

The reason is because those slaves were robbed of their freedom and was forced to do things that they didn’t want to do.…
